You did great to find it and I am so glad. For those that do not see how important this is , to see the graphic with it makes it even more real to them.
Thank you Sam.

"Without giving details, Kirkland said he, Kroeker and city attorneys were concerned the request violated Oregon law prohibiting local police from questioning immigrants when there is no evidence they are connected to a crime and foreign citizenship is the only issue."Well now! Talk about a stupid explanation! Maybe Portland's finest should just nonchalantly go and try to interview Mohammed Atta and the others. After all, NOW there is some evidence that they were connected to a crime! A fine example of the lastest with the leastest.
I'm afraid that Oregonians are nearly as wierd and out-of-touch as we Washingtonians!

Thanks for all of the pings! Whew...sorry to be late to the party, but it's Christmas...;o).
I hate to say this but the only good that emailing your thoughts to Vera will do is to allow you to vent. She won't change her mind. You wouldn't believe some of the things she wants to do...then, again, maybe you would. This woman is nothing but a little, fat pit bull...only more dangerous. The men she surrounds herself with are nothing more than weak, girly men. Sadly, even a good man like Kroeker is just trying to save his job (they announced this policy when he was on vacation). Now, trying to get cancellations at the Convention Center is a great idea!
I've been conducting my own personal boycott of Multnomah County for a number of years. I just don't go there, if at all possible. If I have to go, I don't spend any money. In the past year, I've been there twice. Once to Saturday Market, and I didn't buy anything (we had visitors from out of town). The other was to attend the Portland Police Bureau's Medal of Valor dinner, and I was proud to do so. This was a dinner to honor the men and women who went above and beyond the call of duty, and put their own lives at risk to help others or to apprehend a perp. I didn't spend a dime there, either. To sum it up, the way to get anybody is through the pocket book.
Calico, you have my condolences...and I like your screen name! ;o)
I love the graphics! Sent 'em on to hubby and others. They will get a kick out of 'em.

Sam thanks for the link to the Portland Convention Center Calendar.
First of all you will not believe who is having a concert at the center for New Years:
Mon Dec 31 - Jan 1, 2002, Arabic Concert/New Years Eve Party! (Link) (Oregon Convention Center for a quick laugh)
A quick glance at the 2002 groups meeting show about as liberal groups as you can get, lawyers, teachers, union members etc.. Maybe someone else with a little more time could find a conservative group to inform about this dangerous stand Katz and her group are taking. (Link) (Oregon Convention Center schedule for 2002/03)

Most of us here in Oregon have relatives living all over the country as well as here, and many have someone in the military. The thing is, if the terrorists ever are traced to anywhere in Oregon, given the attitude of Katz and other pols around the state, I think those pols and their governments will be eminently sue-able for any harm that comes to anyone we love from the terrorists.
Not only should we work to get all these people out of any position of responsiblity, hopefully the taxpayers who elected them will end up paying through the nose, if anyone is hurt by a terrorist so much as passing through Oregon.

Hi, dixiechick. My husband and I are seriously thinking about moving; not only is Portland too expensive, but the newspaper and both the city and county governments are becoming more and more out of touch. If I have to see The Oregonian do one more article on how Oregon Muslims are coping with 'prejudice' or on 'diversity' (I swear to God, there must be a 'diversity' key on their keyboards, like the letter 'E', it's overused to death there) I'm going to spew. One more thing, everyone: on the radio last week I heard a clip of Vera Katz complaining about all of the negative publicity that Portland has received. She added (she sounded on the verge of tears, I'm not kidding) "This never would have happened under the previous administration. They would have worked with us." Yeah, I bet they would have, Vera. Barf!

It won't work, we can never do it, they are too liberal............ Well, you can have that attitude and put up with it, or DO something and get our contry back! The more you voice your opinion, the more you will be heard, but doing nothing accomplishes NOTHING! Read the sequence of events on the articles below to see what activism can accomplish. And this is Madison! The Midwest's Berkley. The very same school board members who voted to ban the pledge are now worried they may not have a job! It works, but you have to make it work. No one is going to do it for you.
