Standing 4'9" tall with a stainless steel hook for a hand, Steve Novick doesn't belong to the batch of suave, cookie-cutter politicians we get to choose from these days. Yet wherever he goes, he wins supporters. They call him "savagely smart" (Oregonian), "charisma personified" (Good Magazine) and "the kind of guy who follows his convictions, damn the consequences" (Willamette Week).

This new TV ad, produced by Eichenbaum & Associates (the people who work on Russ Feingold's ads), serves to introduce Steve and his Senate bid to the public.

3^rd teachable moment in Portland: Cesar Chavez and the Hopi Elders Prayer: 

Hopi Elders Prayer

I am going to try to seize a teachable moment amid this mind-numbing conversation that used to be about Cesar Chavez….

Much of the confusion stems from the lack of clarity regarding who is speaking and on whose behalf they claim to be speaking.

Virtually all of the public discussion centers on “Latinos” and the “Latino community”, or “the Community,” and on what “they” (“Latino ‘leaders’”) say “they” ("the Community") wants.

Here’s what you need to know:

1. The terms "Latino" and "Hispanic" do not necessarily describe the same people.

2. There is no single Latino "community." There is no formal Latino “leader.”

Thank you Mr. Tim King from salem-news.com for bringing my story to public light you are really a brave media person with dignity

You remember how about two years ago, maybe less, we began to hear about high-definition television and radio? I remember thinking, "Oh that's cool. Too bad I can't afford the nifty high tech television required to receive the digital signals!" Well, evidently, we soon won't have a choice, but to be able to afford them. Yesterday, I was catching up on the news that I hadn't been able to read for a few days, and I came across this article and I thought, "Why do we not know about this?" and "Well, WHY do we not KNOW about this?!"
