Thank You for the Memories: Two Little African-American Girls Got a Front-Row Peek...

Submitted by Rachael on March 22, 2008 - 4:56pm.
  • Event Reports
  • Lane County


It was well worth being outside on the field for the brief opportunity to hear Sen. Obama's voice in person.

We walked, we waited, and my 4-year-old never gave up hope she might see Sen. Obama until we discovered we were around 200 people short of making it in. We migrated with the other turn-aways to the soccer field. Of course her little legs and my little-ish legs just couldn't run fast enough to get a front row view, and we certainly couldn't see over all the adult heads.

Thank you, thank you THANK YOU to the members of the crowd who, on my spontaneous plea, graciously parted to let two little African-American girls see Sen. Obama for a brief moment before he went into Mac Court.

With their shoulders pressed against the police tape and tears in my eyes, I said to the girls, "Remember what he looks like right now and that this is a special day. Remember this so when you are old ladies you can tell your families about it. We are so lucky to be here."

The full magnitude of what it means to be "here today" is incomprehensible to them right now at their tender ages, but I know they have a keen sense something big is happening. It is about suffering, struggle, hope, opportunity, healing and a new reality within reach.

I hope Sen. Obama wins. Even if he doesn't, I hope we continue to recognize and nurture this new reality: That people of color can indeed lead in our country and there are more people committed every day to making liberty and justice a truth for ALL.

operation noble resolve, oregonians in danger

WASHINGTON
� A U.S. military drill designed to enhance homeland security in the
event of a nuclear terrorist attack has some officials and media
outlets funded by billionaire George Soros warning it may be a "false
flag" operation leading to the detonation of a real nuclear device to
set the stage for martial law.

Hell under Cabo San Lucas

Submitted by Jenni on April 10, 2007 - 9:38pm.

  • Lane County

To Whom It May Concern What I am writing down is a message for all who live here on this planet who want there children to live long enough to be adults. Anybody that wants them to retain the innocence of youth that their gift only because they are naïve of mans cruelty. A gift that comes from the protection that loving parents provide and can never be replaced once it is taken. For any person that values life and doesn’t agree with the sexual molestation, torture, and murder of innocent people caused by the occult. This is written for you and your family. I am asking that you read this with an open mind because I am writing it not only with the hope that you can help to control or put an end to the pure evil that I never believed really existed except in Hollywood horror movies.

Payday loans & Lane County

Submitted by Jenni on April 14, 2006 - 3:47am.
  • Political News & Commentary
  • Lane County

OSPIRG recently did another survey on payday loan businesses, this time in Lane County.

The results there were basically the same as those found in Portland last year.

The entire report can be found here.

You can find the report done in November, 2005 in Portland here.

Once again, the survey showed that many places charged more than 500%, with the most common rate being 521%. These rates are only for the typical loan, though. The actual annual percentage rate can far exceed this posted rate.

According to the report:

Most lenders charge a flat fee based on the loan amount even though the length of the loan may only be a few days. Thus, the actual interest rates charged to a borrower can approach and exceed 1000%.
