Are you
a 49er?
|
Because this election is so important to
protecting
Oregon’s farms, forests
and water; we are working
over time to talk to as many
people as possible about Measure 49 and let them know how important their
vote is.
But there
are only 3 1/2 weeks left before
Election Day to contact thousands of
voters.
So we're asking EVERYONE who supports Measure 49 to pledge to be a
Voter 49er.
It's quick and easy!
Sign
up to be a 49er. Pledge to vote and mail in
your
ballot within 49 minutes of receiving it this October. You'll feel
great!
Oregon’s Measure 49 fixes the
serious problems with Measure 37.
Please visit the Yes on 49
Website to learn more, and vote November
6,2007.

When was the last time
you talked to your neighbor?
Most of us
run into people we know quite often: at the grocery, walking the dog, picking
the kids up from school or simply getting the mail.
Most of the time it's just a nod and hello. Well here's your
chance to get to know your neighbors a little better.
Canvass your neighborhood in support of Measure 49; make a
friend and most importantly make
a difference.
What are you waiting for? Meet your neighbors
and tell them why Measure 49 matters. Email
