One of my best friends is running for State Rep in district 39,
NW Eugene/Santa Clara/Bethel. I've been working with him on his campaign
for almost a year now. This is the one issue that I've specificly asked him
to oppose, and based on the information that I've given him, he agrees. If we
have some good outspoken opposition, that will go a long way to killing this
bill.
