| Proud to be an Oregonian | ||||||
|
|
||||||
|
“To be an Oregonian is to be an
environmentalist,” said Senate President Peter Courtney
(D-Salem/Gervais/Woodburn). “The Legislature has reaffirmed this proud tradition
with its work on the Bottle Bill, clean water and renewable
energy.”
|
||||||
|
In Salem on Thursday, members of the Oregon Conservation Network (OCN) celebrated one of the most successful environmental legislative sessions in decades. |
||||||
| OCN is the umbrella group of the 40 organizations that worked together to identify five proactive environmental “Priorities for a Healthy Oregon,” all of which have either already passed or are expected to pass before the session ends. In addition, the coalition prioritized preventing rollbacks to current environmental safeguards. | ||||||
| Priorities Prevail: Environment wins BIG. | ||||||
|
OCN Priority Bills that are Law
|
||||||
|
||||||
|
But it's not over yet. These OCN Priority Bills still need to pass. |

| Measure 37: Part 2 | ||||||
|
You have probably heard by now that a more fair and reasonable version of Measure 37 will be heading back to the voters this fall. Some organizations are already referring to the campaign to fix Measure 37 as the single most important environmental campaign in the history of Oregon. That said, we are looking for people who want to make history - and work this fall to keep Oregon a great place to live, now and for future generations. |

Thanks to the many that voted in our interactive online poll last week. We'd like to take a moment to remind those that haven't yet voted to take a moment and let us know who you support for President. |
||||||
|
Obama and Edwards are currently neck and neck with Hillary a couple votes behind. You could be the deciding vote! |
||||||
|
Fill out this interactive poll. We'll keep you informed over the remainder of 2007 as we see how things shape up as the election draws nearer. |

Meanwhile, our national partner is focused on making sure all Presidential candidates take strong stands to combat global warming. If you haven't already, check out this LCV Education Fund commercial featuring Robert Redford. |
