<p><span style="font-size: medium;">We are a group  of folks that have been dismayed at some of the decisions and actions  of the last administration- to the point where we left our couches and  comfortable living rooms and begun to try to make a difference in our  state and nation.  Our most exciting triumph has been the election of  our Representative Suzanne VanOrman, taking over a seat that was held  by the Republicans since time immemorial.   We have campaigned actively  for Measures 66 and 67 this winter, and we are gearing up to move voters  to elect a new Senator from our area:  <a href="http://www.votebrentbarton.com/">Brent Barton</a>!  The re-election  of Rep. VanOrman promises to be another invigorating campaign. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">We don’t  always know all the answers- but together, we are teaching ourselves how  to be more effective in both influencing the voters AND influencing our  elected officials about issues that are important to us.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">We welcome  your presence, your ideas, your experience- together we can move  mountains!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Do plan on joining us on the second Saturday of each month at  9:30am or so at the community room of the <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;source=s_q&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;q=38935+Proctor+Blvd.,+Sandy&amp;sll=45.548987,-122.659319&amp;sspn=0.009016,0.022724&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;hq=&amp;hnear=38935+Proctor+Blvd,+Sandy,+Clackamas,+Oregon+97055&amp;ll=45.398314,-122.262619&amp;spn=0.00904,0.022724&amp;z=16">Clackamas County Bank, 38935  Proctor Blvd., Sandy</a> (across from the Subway shop)</span></p>
