Where's Walden's District? Turning Blue in 2006

Democracy for Oregon Action is VERY interested in the 2nd Congressional District Race. We simply must remove Greg Walden from Congress this year. There is no reason in the world that our beautiful, progressive, reality based, intelligent state of Oregon should have ANY representatives of the GOP scandal & corruption team within its congressional ranks. The way the GOP has lied to America and purposely run us into economic and military quagmires, how can anyone support them anymore?

So please get out there and support the 2nd CD Democrats who have tossed their hats into the ring. You can find out more at http://www.2ndCD.org

DFO has connected with two of the candidates so far, Chuck Butcher, a great candidate who is an occassional blogger here, and also Scott Silver, who has been an environmental activist for many years. Please learn more about these candidates and especially help the primary victor, whoever that might be, as he or she confronts the big money GOP graft and noise machine that keeps representatives like Walden in office.

So far, we like the chances for Scott Silver, but we will be fighting tooth and nail to support whichever Democrat wins the primary. Click here to listen to Scott Silver's recent radio interview. Here's some information on how to contact Scott, check his website and contribute to his campaign:
