@ Maggie: I work on the campaign.

We've scheduled a debate on 4/1 in Salem sponsored by the Mission Mill Museum, Salem City Club, American Association of University Women, League of Women Voters, Western Oregon University, and Willamette University.

Hope to see you there.

@Greg: has the venue been decided for the 4/1 debate? I'm sure more details will follow as to start time as well. Thanks.

O no, I thought he just looked like Peter! :-D

John-I was at the Yamhill County Democrats annual dinner tonight-where were you? We heard many candidates, but we wanted you!

Hi Jane - so sorry we missed you! I'm not quite sure why we didn't see you. The office is still a work in progress - at the moment we are working on the third floor, but there will be opportunities to volunteer both upstairs and on the ground floor in the near future. Please don't hesitate to contact Mike Webb, Volunteer Coordinator for ... See Moreadditional information. He can be reached by email at mike@johnkitzhaber.com or by calling the office at 503.206.5960. We hope to work with you in the future!! - Adam (from the campaign)

Hunter-you've given me a lot to think about...

When I worked as an administrator at a senior living facility, they would dispose of narcotics by making them into a paste and fluch them down the toilet. I always wondered how that affected the water and asked if there was any other way to dispose of them. They never would give me an answer. I no longer work for that corporation and have decided ... See Morenot to work for any senior living corporation since then. I am currently in the process of starting my own consulting business to help senior citizens find the right option for living that will keep them safe and fit thier budget. I do appreciate the flippant remarks of Hunter though...

What I don't like about nuclear power, besides the long term radiation risks, is that it centralizes power, and creates very few jobs relative to what alternative energies and conservation efforts would do.

@Jerred you should submit that specific idea over at http://ideas.johnkitzhaber.com

WELCOME HOME John Kitzhaber there is plenty of issues for you to look into and REDIRECT into a more PRODUCTIVE and HELPFUL state..... That will work for the people of Oregon myself a true Native of Oregon SIR.. Born and Raised here and My Kids born and raised here..my Parents born and raised here!!!! I support you

Angelia, Are you asking me if the law about 14 year old is on the books and enforced in Oregon? If so, yes, it is true, at least it was a few years ago. Unless it has been changed, if your child runs the law cannot help you get them back. Mine ran. The law would not help. We were told if we could locate the child the police could ask the child to ... See Morereturn but could not retun the child to our parental custody. We were advised by a very polite and caring but ckearly frustrated policeman that if we took the child against its will that we must be very careful not to even put a red mark on the skin or we could be prosecuted. We did finally locate and "take" our child back and proceeded to get the medical and mental help that was needed. We didn't give up. The child is grown now and is still recovering from being a high school drop-out. I am now raising another child who is 14 years old. I want to come back to Oregon which to me is the most beautiful place I have ever lived in but not with a 14 year old child to finish raising. I doubt that most Oregon parents knowthat the law exists until they have the difficulty that teaches them by experience. We learned the same way. This is the only issue I have addressed with John Kitzhaber and I have in no way blamed him for the existance of this law. I simply wanted to inform him that I believe it needs changed. Thank you for your polite comments.

The State of Oregon and the City of La Pine lost a dear friend yesterday when State Treasurer Ben Westlund lost his battle with cancer.Ben helped us as a new city to secure a loan of $50,000.00 to get started. Senator Westlund invited us to Salem were He walked right up to the Governor and stuck his finger in the Governors back and said, Governor, the Mayor shouldn’t have to use his own money to pay for a phone line at city hall. Ah, Ben's humor. To Mr. Westlund's family, May God Bless you all.

My condolences to Ben Westlund's family. I valued his integrity and financial trust for Oregon's best governing business spending and wise interest in developing our states ecomony county/city wide.

Mr. Kitzhaber I too support your plan/policies for the future of public education in Oregon. I attended the OEA PIE Convention this weekend and want you to know that the OEA members from Grants Pass are in FULL support of YOUR plan! You have my support!

If I understand this, you are asking the home owner to upgrade their home at a time when they hardly have enough money to live on. As I see it, it is like say, I am going to downsize to a Honda Accord to a Honda Civic to save gas. The money that I save on gas will help pay off the car loan. Bad idea!

SO WHAT IS TEXAS DOING THAT WE AREN'T?

Sales tax is regressive. It most effects those with the least amount of expendable income.

New Hampshire had no sales or income tax when I lived therein the mid-70s. I didn't pay property tax on my car, either. I'm not sure where their tax money came from.

And a small minority that our news media is ragging to death.

Only Democrats are impeachable. Republicans can commit all the acts of treason against the Constitution that they want, and nobody will do anything to stop them.

Tax change is key Oregonians. Without that we remain a third rate state below Mississippi!

Pictures of the Big Blue Sticker will be coming from Philadelphia and DC! I sent a few out East and was promised the sticker would be adhered to Independence Hall :)
