Calling All POP Volunteers!

published by pop_admin on Tue, 01/09/2018 - 20:06

Hey POPers - 2018 is here and it's time to hit the streets for our elections and the Measure 101 special election is upon us. We have designed a program for our members to have regular visibility events (rallies) at some high profile locations in town for Measure 101, like 6th and Cherry Heights, the eastside traffic circle, the hospital district, etc. We need Corner Captains for each location to coordinate volunteers and we need volunteers to show up and hold a sign. Times are flexible - we just need people, and we need them for the next two weeks until the election happens.

Be the one to run as a candidate. Be the one to win. County Commissioners make over $40,000.00 per year. One must file as a candidate by March 2018.

Tuesday's POP meeting is the most important so far! This is a day we should have an audience rivaling the attendance of last November. It is time to transform complaining into action. Until January 23rd, we need boots on the ground! We need "Corner Captains" and corner demonstrators. We need to align with the DEMs for the Neighborhood Leadership Program. We shall make a difference in the January 23rd referendum!

Tuesday 6:00 at the Highway 30! Be there! Bring a friend! Make a difference!

Measure 101 Talking points

published by pop_admin on Thu, 01/04/2018 - 08:00

The following are to help you in your canvassing and debates in support of M101.

A Yes vote means:

  • Every Oregon child has access to healthcare
  • Working families, seniors, and people with disabilities keep the care they need
  • Healthcare insurance costs are stabilized
  • State and federal matching funds are maintained

Here is the Kitzhaber article published in the Oregonian on the front page of the opinion section on December 27th, 2017.

It's important to stabilize the Oregon Health Plan

What You Need To Know About Oregon’s January Special Election:

Measure 101 ballots will be delivered by mail to registered Oregon voters the first week of January, and are due by January 23. Voting yes on Measure 101 means protecting healthcare for Oregon families – including 400,000 children, as well as seniors and people with disabilities – who otherwise couldn’t afford a doctor’s visit and are often forced to go to the emergency room when they get sick.
