Final push for Health Care reform, write your congressman today!Submitted by Mike_Hiland on March 15, 2010 - 8:25pmGreat news: This weekend's events were a huge success. OFA volunteers all over the country helped tens of thousands of voters in key districts speak out for reform.

So today, OFA supporters are taking the next step in the Final March for Reform: Writing to Congress. Using our online tool, it just takes a few minutes to write and send your own letter directly to Rep. David Wu. Right now, Congress is under attack from insurance lobbyists who are trying to drown us out, so we've set a goal of 17 letters from Sherwood to make sure our message breaks through. Can you help? Get started here. In the days ahead, we'll keep you up-to-date on the latest news on health reform as it breaks -- so keep checking your email. But right now, please make sure supporters of reform in Congress continue to hear our thanks for their efforts -- and that everyone hears their constituents' overwhelming support for reform.

LA Times: Corporate Money Pours into Chamber of Commerce to Sway Elections Thanks to Supreme CourtSubmitted by Mike_Hiland on March 10, 2010 - 1:07amBy People for the American WayInvestigative reporter Tom Hamburger has an excellent article in today's Los Angeles Times on the tens of millions of dollars pouring into the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to defeat candidates who stand in the way of Big Business. As Hamburger reports, the Chamber spent $144 million last year on advocacy and plans to spend substantially more this year. And those dollars will have more impact than ever thanks to the Supreme Court, which recently ruled 5-4 that giant corporations can directly oppose or support candidates for public office. The article also explains how companies use the Chamber to do their dirty work while concealing their involvement: »

Ben Westlund - Champion for Affordable Health Care in OregonSubmitted by Content Publisher on March 8, 2010 - 5:25pmFrom Jennifer Warren: It was my great honor to work in the Capitol during the amazing 2003 session, and then-Rep. Westlund's return after his first surgery for lung cancer was capped by this floor speech, which none of us present will ever forget. His words are as true today as they were then, and given the state of our state and the last session, they have an even deeper meaning and resonance. They should open every legislative session with this speech. Ben Westlund came back to the Legislature humbled by his experience, and with a very different attitude about how the people of Oregon are impacted by the actions of their elected officials. Of all his other accomplishments, and the accolades rightfully bestowed on him, after this speech- I knew him best as one of the great champions for affordable health care in Oregon. »
