You may find a link to the bill on Oregon's legislative web site here: http://www.leg.state.or.us/03reg/measures/hb2800.dir/hb2892.intro.html You may also find a link to Rob "Roblimo" Miller's write-up here: http://newsforge.com/newsforge/03/03/06/018222.shtml?tid=4 The bill is in good hands, but we need your support! I will post a draft letter in the next few days for delivery to your local representative about the bill, and why it is important for both the people of Oregon and it's economy. I would like each of you to just spend a few moments to modify the letter as you deem necessary and send it to the House Representative in your local district. I will provide a list of contacts in your area. This bill is _very_ important to helping with the budget shortfall in Oregon and encouraging our State Government to ensure a fair and competitive process when procuring IT products and services. If you have any questions or would like to get involved, please do let me know. Very Truly Yours, Cooper Stevenson MWVLUG Coordinator http://www.mwvlug.org _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug ----- End forwarded message ----- _______________________________________________ Eug-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
