Way back in the ‘70s, a young couple raising a little boy who would grow up to be the leading Democratic contender for President of the United States befriended a fellow University of Hawaii student named Neil Abercrombie. Abercrombie, now a nine-term congressman from Hawaii’s first district, returned to the mainland last night to represent the couple’s son, Sen. Barack Obama, at the Oregon Democratic Party’s convention in Eugene.
Flanked by a strong visibility presence outside the local Hilton, Rep. Abercrombie – a superdelegate and early backer of Obama’s candidacy – discussed with the crowd how the 2008 election is about the future, not the past, and that Barack is the only candidate who can truly "stand up to the special interests" that have permeated Washington.
The congressman is also a prominent member of the House Progressive Caucus, and has been a staunch opponent of the war in Iraq since the beginning. Abercrombie cited Sen. Obama's opposition as another reason why he's the country's best choice in November.
In addition to his appearance at the convention in Eugene, Rep. Abercrombie will be heading up to Salem this morning to cut the ribbon on the Obama campaign's sixth Oregon office. Then on Sunday, we'll be opening yet another new office in Medford. And yes, there'll be more office openings in the near future, building on the overwhelming grassroots support of Oregonians for Sen. Obama.
Representative Mary Nolan took the microphone and explained how there's only one candidate in the Democratic race that can bring the kind of change that Oregon and the country need right now after the failed policies of the Bush years. Treasurer Edwards also spoke, citing Sen. Obama's vision to end the war in Iraq, fight global warming, and provide healthcare to all Americans as the reasons for his endorsement. Speaker of the House Jeff Merkley agreed, referring to Barack's "detailed agenda" as the reason behind his support. Senator Ben Westlund noted Obama's electability as the key factor in his decision, remarking that having "a strong candidate at the top of the ticket is critically important" for Democrats in Oregon and around the nation.
At the press conference, State Sen. Avel Gordly - a registered Independent - filled out a voter registration card to formally change her party affiliation to Democrat so that she could vote for Barack Obama in Oregon's closed primary next month. She then headed across the street to the secretary of state's office to drop it off. State law says that you must be a registered member of a party to vote in its nominating contest, and April 29th is the last day Oregonians can register or change their party status to Democratic in order to vote for Obama. Gordly encouraged all registered Independents, Republicans, and members of other parties do the same if they desire the kind of change being sought by Barack Obama, who she called "a unifier."
Obama's legislative supporters include Senate President Pro Tempore Margaret Carter (Portland), Sen. Alan Bates (Ashland), Sen. Avel Gordly (Portland), Sen. Floyd Prozanski (South Lane and North Douglas Counties), Sen. Ben Westlund (Tumalo), Speaker of the House Jeff Merkley (Portland), Speaker Pro Tempore Diane Rosenbaum (Portland), Rep. Jeff Barker (Aloha), Rep. Phil Barnhart (Central Lane and Linn Counties), Rep. Suzanne Bonamici (Washington County), Rep. Peter Buckley (Ashland), Rep. Ben Cannon (Portland), Rep. Brian Clem (Salem), Rep. Chris Edwards (West Eugene), Rep. Dave Edwards (Hillsboro), Rep. Larry Galizio (Tigard), Rep. Paul Holvey (Eugene), Rep. Betty Komp (Woodburn), Rep. Tina Kotek (North Portland), Rep. Mary Nolan (Portland), Rep. Tobias Read (Beaverton), Rep. Mike Schaufler (Happy Valley, Rep. Chip Shields (Portland), and Rep. Brad Witt (Clatskanie). Earlier this spring, Obama secured the endorsement of Portland-area Congressman and superdelegate Earl Blumenauer, who spoke on the Senator's behalf at our Portland headquarters office opening last weekend.
I was hangin out at my mom's house earlier today and i was downstairs and she was upstairs and she yelled down to me "Did you know Obama's coming to Salem?!" (she knows i'm an obama freak)
I'm so excited to hear that Barack Obama is going to be Salem, Oregon on Friday (3/19/2008)! I've got my ticket and I'm READY to ROLL!!

Dear Friends,
This weekend the Oregon Education Association is holding their convention in Salem. Hillary has the NEA endorsement among others. The OEA's endorsement is huge! We would love to have them back Senator Obama! Our volunteer coordinator, Mike Adams, has asked that we help out. Many thanks to those of you who agreed to write letters and took names at the house party! Please be sure to mail your letters today or Tuesday at the latest! If you are interested in manning a booth at the convention, they desperately need help on Friday. Saturday seems to be covered. You can click to attend through the "events" listing on our site. A couple of people said they would like to go and that they would be interested in car pooling with others. Let's try and figure out a way to get interested parties together...Anyone from Medford or close by who would like to get together with others and go?
We have seen truly unbelievable crowds everywhere Barack speaks in New Hampshire. Barack’s compelling message of change resonates even in the overflow rooms.
I’m tucked away in the corner of the auditorium and Salem High School, in a room that is completely at capacity. As they awaited Barack’s arrival, chants of “O-ba-ma!” and “Fired up, Ready to Go!” broke out. When Barack took the stage, the crowd jumped to its feet and provided him a standing ovation. Check back later for a recap.
