Oregon Health Care ReformSubmitted by Anonymous on December 10, 2011 - 9:38amOregon supporters of a universal, single-payer health care system are looking east for inspiration, bringing Vermont activists to our state to outline how a grassroots movement there resulted in the successful adoption of a universal health care system last June. La Grande is a stop on a twelve city swing through Oregon by three members of the Vermont Workers Center, Kate Kanelstein, Sarah Weintraub and Mary Gerish. They will be joined by representatives from the events’ sponsors, Jobs with Justice and Oregon Single Payer Campaign, as they outline the strategies and tactics that worked in Vermont.
Wednesday, December 14th, 7:30 to 9:00 PM “How We Won Health Care for All” Forum Occupy the Highway : )Submitted by Anonymous on October 21, 2011 - 6:00pm
The Union County Democrats were occupied on Highway 82 doing their part to clean up America. The effort took the group about four hours. The weather was perfect and the trash buildup was not too bad. The Democrats clean up their adopted section of Highway 82 three times a year. Occupy La Grande!Submitted by Anonymous on October 11, 2011 - 3:48pmUnion County Democrats
Over the past few weeks Occupy Wall Street has grown from a handful of protesters in New York City to a national mobilization of tens of thousands. Demonstrations of more than 20,000 are occurring in New York. 10,000 people marched and filled Pioneer Square in Portland. More and more Occupy groups are organizing and demonstrating every day. And now... Occupy La Grande! At noon on Thursday, October 13, Occupy La Grande supporters will gather in Max Square. Our focus is the same as groups all across the country: Jobs, Not Cuts; Fair Taxes on Everyone; Hold Wall Street and Corporations Accountable. We plan to march to Congressman Walden's office on Washington Avenue. We'd like to know where Mr. Walden stands on Contract for the American Dream. The contract outlines policies that will help rebuild the American Dream -- investing in our infrastructure, creating 21st century energy jobs, investing in public education, providing Medicare for All, making work pay, securing Social Security, returning to fairer tax rates, ending the wars and investing at home, taxing Wall Street speculation, and strengthening our democracy. We will then walk to Wells Fargo Bank and read the official statement of the Occupy Wall Street protesters. We want to highlight the increasing role that banks and other corporations play in buying elections and distorting democracy. We want to highlight how this influence benefits the wealthy and harms working families and the middle-class. Please join us. Share this information and bring your friends. Bring your signs to help focus our message: Jobs, Not Cuts; Fair Taxes on Everyone; Hold Wall Street and Corporations Accountable! Occupy La Grande!Submitted by Anonymous on October 9, 2011 - 10:46pm

And now... Occupy La Grande! Persuasive Letter Writing Workshop with Mike ShearerSubmitted by Anonymous on October 9, 2011 - 9:58pmYou may remember a letter in the Observer a few months back. Written by Mike Shearer, it was brief but excellent guide to writing more effective and persuasive Letters to the Editor. (Note - you can read Mike’s piece at: http://www.lagrandeobserver.com/Opinion/Community-Comment/Letters-to-the...)
Last month, Mike kindly agreed to conduct a seminar to expand on the ideas he presented in his article. If you weren’t able to attend on September 14, you missed an informative session!
Here are some important concepts from the seminar. Many thanks to Sharon Evoy and Jerry Sebestyen for their notes!
Democrats booth at the 2011 Union County FairSubmitted by Anonymous on August 18, 2011 - 7:38pmWasn’t it great to be out at the Union County Fair – meeting good friends, enjoying the passing scene, and admiring the creativity and industry of our neighbors? The Fair is an enduring celebration of our way of life and our community. The Union County Democrats were proud to be a part of that celebration again this year. As we do each year, we asked fairgoers to speak out on their most important issues. We counted 2,081 votes in our straw poll. That’s a 50% increase over last year and a new record of participation! Here is a breakdown of the tally:
