04 / 21 (event) "Stop Gordon Smith" Protests- Medford and Eugene Start: 12:00 pm End: 1:00 pm This Monday, let's Stop Gordon Smith! Gordon Smith's special interest contributors have bought his opposition to the Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act. This Monday, April 21, we need to remind Smith that he's in Washington D.C. to represent Oregonians, not the corporations who fund his campaigns. The Climate Security Act has bi-partisan support in the U.S. Senate. Oregon's other U.S. Senator, Democrat Ron Wyden, is a co-sponsor. Yet Smith won't stand up to his corporate backers and support this bill. So, stand up for Oregon and our environment on April 21 in Eugene and Medford. Remind Gordon Smith that he works for us, not the special interests. And if you can't make it to Eugene or Medford, let your friends in those cities know about these events. What: Stop Gordon Smith Protests more info
