Thank you Oregon Senator Ron Wyden.....

for voting no on General Michael Hayden to head the CIA..........Raw Story LINK

Sen. Russ Feingold D-Wis., joined Democratic Sens. Ron Wyden of Oregon and Evan Bayh of Indiana to vote against Hayden. "General Hayden directed an illegal program that put Americans on American soil under surveillance without the legally required approval of a judge," Feingold said in a statement.

How do we keep Oregon progressive....??

1.By asking the question...via BlueOregon

I admit I stopped watching West Wing a long time ago (couldn't take the sadness during the Bush Administration), so I missed their theorizing about the 4th District going red... but a question I'm left with is, can we keep Oregon Blue or are we giving up on anything outside the I-5? I'm here to vote for not going with the latter outcome, and people in the know have told me we're at a moment in Political Time where the rest of the state is ripe for our message. Can we do it? And can blogging be part of the equation for reaching rural Oregonians?

2.By participating in a new Oregon weblog for progressives...Wagontongues..Independent...Pioneering...Progressive
