Only a few miles from where I live here in Portland right next to the zoo, so I think I'm going to try and make it. He's done a lot of great work for Oregon and our country since being voted in in 2008. Hoping he will lead us to reforming the filibuster rules (like he's been trying to during his time in the Senate) if we can get back the House and retain the presidency and the Senate in November.

Perhaps some other Portland area DUers might want to go too and we can have in effect a "meetup" there.
