Signature Gathering Opportunities this weekend

Saturday, August 13
Mississippi Avenue Street Fair
10am-7pm

We have a booth in the Community area (N Mississippi and 39th Ave). Come 
help gather signatures for campaign finance reform initiatives #8 and 
#37. Make it possible for our electeds to get elected without 
indenturing themselves to big donors. This is a neighborhood event with 
lots of voters in attendance. It's a great opportunity to talk one on 
one with voters about the importance of campaign finance reform for 
Oregon. For further information give Liz Trojan a call 503-970-2069.


Saturday, August 13
Portland Farmer's Market
Portland State University
8pm-2pm
We have an invitation from the PSU Campus Greens to table with them at 
the Farmer's Market this Saturday and each Saturday till October. I'm 
not sure what the connection is between eating fresh locally grown 
vegetables and supporting progressive causes but there is definitely a 
link as the Farmer's Market crowd has been very supportive of campaign 
finance reform. For further information on tabling at the Portland 
Farmer's Market contact Chris Henry 503-761-7988 or 503-241-0704


Sunday, August 14th
North Plain Garlic Festival
If you live in Washington County this is a great chance to gather 
signatures in an area where we have not previously gathered many 
signatures. The Garlic festival is free and open to the public. Give Jim 
McNaughton a call for details. 503-530-3740


Signature gathering is a simple but powerful way for you to participate. 
Join us for a couple of hours to talk with fellow citizens. For good 
reason many of them/us are very disheartened about politics. Enacting 
campaign finance limits puts voters back in the drivers seat of the 
Oregon Legislature. Your participation is important. Join us.
