Dropped off my ballot yesterday. I couldn't link to the usnews.com article you posted, but I'm guessing "the mess we find ourselves in today" refers to marijuana. There are other issues that concern me as a long-time Oregonian, which a progressive legislature could fix, but rather than getting into those, I'll just mention that three days ago I signed the petition to put the legalize marijuana measure on the ballot. Holton can sound pretty reasonable, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Ellen wins. I also wish Kevin Mannix would stop putting forward those measures that result in us funding his buddies who build ever more prisons to be filled with minor offenders. Just sayin...

Best wishes from East of the Cascades.

Ellen is way ahead in the recent poll Jim Greig May 2012 #1
