Take the Oregon House Democrats Challenge!
In 2006, we need your head, your heart and your hands. We need your leadership.
Here’s why. The failed record of the Oregon House Republicans is a well documented fact. Only with the hard work of Oregonians like you can we restore integrity, fairness and real leadership to the Oregon House of Representatives.
It has never been more important for us to have the benefit of your thinking and the labor of your hands. Bottom line: We need you, because you are the key to restoring a Democratic majority in the Oregon House.
You’ve already demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to getting Oregon back on track. Now we must form a special group of 100 community activists to step forward as the ground-floor leaders in the campaign to take back the Oregon House.
Are you ready to take the Oregon House Democrats challenge?
Click here to take the Challenge, and change Oregon!
We need 100 proven leaders to commit to do the following in 2006:
- Work 10 hours for Democratic candidates for the Oregon House in 2006.
- Recruit five volunteers to give five hours each for a Democratic candidate for the Oregon House in 2006.
- Provide on-the-ground intelligence that will help shape a winning strategy in your community.
- Furnish ongoing feedback to help us continue to expand our grassroots network.
Leaders like you hold the key to restoring good government and sound public policy in Oregon. Restoring a Democratic Majority in the Oregon House of Representatives Democrats is the critical first step. You can help Oregon take that step by accepting the Oregon House Democrats Challenge and dedicating your head, your hands and your leadership to this important cause.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Jeff Merkley
House Democratic Leader

Ain't this the truth!
The Little Red Hen-Modern version
Once upon a time, on a farm in Texas, there was a little red hen
who scratched about the barnyard until she uncovered quite a few
grains of wheat.
She called all of her neighbors together and said, "If we plant this
wheat, we shall have bread to eat. Who will help me plant it?"
"Not I," said the cow.
"Not I," said the duck.
"Not I," said the pig.
"Not I," said the goose.
"Then I will do it by myself," said the little red hen. And so she did;
The wheat grew very tall and ripened into golden grain.
"Who will help me reap my wheat?" asked the little red hen.
"Not I," said the duck.
"Out of my classification," said the pig.
"I'd lose my seniority," said the cow.
"I'd lose my unemployment compensation," said the goose.
"Then I will do it by myself," said the little red hen, and so she did.
At last it came time to bake the bread.
"Who will help me bake the bread! ?" asked the little red hen.
"That would be overtime for me," said the cow.
"I'd lose my welfare benefits," said the duck.
"I'm a dropout and never learned how," said the pig.
"If I'm to be the only helper, that's discrimination," said the goose.
"Then I will do it by myself," said the little red hen. She baked five
loaves and held them up for all of her neighbors to see. They
wanted some and, in fact, demanded a share. But the little red hen
said, "No, I shall eat all five loaves."
"Excess profits!" cried the cow.
"Capitalist leech!" screamed the duck.
"I demand equal rights!" yelled the goose.
The pig just grunted in disdain.
And they all painted "Unfair!" picket signs and marched around and
around the little red hen, shouting obscenities.
Then a government agent came, he said to the little red hen, "You
must not be so greedy."
"But I earned the bread," said the little red hen.
"Exactly," said the agent. "That is what makes our free enterprise
system so wonderful. Anyone in the barnyard can earn as much as
he wants. But under our modern government regulations, the
productive workers must divide the fruits of their labor with those
who are lazy and idle,"
And they all lived happily ever after, including the little red hen, who
smiled and clucked, "I am grateful, for now I truly understand,"
But her neighbors became quite disappointed in her. She never again
baked bread because she joined the "party" and got her bread free.
And all the Democrats smiled. 'Fairness' had been established.
Individual initiative had died, but nobody noticed; perhaps no one
cared.....as long as there was free bread that "the rich" were
paying for.
Bill Clinton is getting $12 million for his memoirs.
Hillary got $8 million for hers.
That's $20 million for memories from two people, who for eight years,
repeatedly testified, under oath, that they couldn't remember anything.
IS THIS A GREAT COUNTRY, OR WHAT?
