-- Make sure your friends and family members get their ballots in.

REMINDER: Final Measure 101 Rallies

published by pop_admin on Sat, 01/20/2018 - 14:18

Okay, folks, we are going down to the wire. We're scheduling two rallies here for the last couple of days: Monday at 4pm at the eastside of downtown, just past the traffic circle. Parking available just east of the circle roundabout. Rally till dusk (near to 5pm). Forecast is 25% chance of shower. Second is Tuesday at noon to 1pm at 2nd and Union - in front of the Post Office. Forecast is 75% chance of showers, but we're hoping our good karma gets us a break in the rain. If you would rather go to 6th and Cherry Heights instead either time, please do.

Calling All Candidates!

published by pop_admin on Fri, 01/19/2018 - 07:48

POPers: Both of our incumbent Republican legislative representatives resigned for other jobs recently and have been replaced by county commissioners with new people. This is a golden opportunity to elect somebody more progressive to one or both of these seats. Both seats take in more than just Wasco County, especially the Senate seat, but as of yet, neither has anybody declared to run against the unelected/appointed incumbents (the appointed Senator was an elected House representative). Deadline for declaring to run for one of these seats is March 6.
