Hopefully some Freepers still alive in Portland will do what you suggest. I don’t live in Portland and have avoided it like a city infested with the Black Plague since 9/11. The rat bastards in charge of Portland sided with Islamofacists and would protect them with our lives.
So Portland no longer gets any visits nor money from us.
“This is a perfect example of when the truly new New Media should jump in.
I mean citizen bloggers, with camera phones and video, posting reports. It might start small, but I think it would get quite an audience through word-of-mouth. And you might accomplish something constructive for the city.
Find a few folks to get out there and document stuff for a blog. And ask readers to send in reports. You might be surprised at the good work you could get done!”
