Oregon today became the fourth state in the nation to offer voter registration online.

You can register or update your registration (change your address or political party, for example) at www.oregonvotes.org.

Online voter registration will not only save the state money, but may also serve as a useful tool for registering younger voters.

From a story in today's Oregonian:

The national League of Conservation Voters today released their environmental scorecard rating the 2009 environmental performances of the nation’s senators and representatives in Congress. Naturally, we all want to know how the Oregon congressional delegation scored in a year when they were asked to vote for clean energy, clean air and water, public lands conservation and other key environmental initiatives.

If you haven't had a chance to read this excellent piece, written by Richard Cockle of the Oregonian, about the Wind Energy developments that are set to go up in the Steens Mountains, I strongly recommend it. 

Saturday night's Winterhawks game was not only a blast, it was a huge success that will directly impact Oregon's environmental legacy.

The Winterhawks used the game--which was Mascot Night--to raise money for the Oregon Conservation Network, a coaltion of nearly 50 leading enviro groups around the state which work together to pass pro-environment laws in the Legislature.
