I am new to this group, am not a baseball fan, but wholeheartedly support getting another pro team and the stadium here in Portland.

Has your group thought about holding some sort of rally to demonstrate support for the stadium? How about an after work rally for an hour at Pioneer square? Get Colin Cowhere @ KFXX to plug it, Dwight Janes to plug it, the oregonian sports, tribune sports, etc. and get TV news coverage. Try to cram the place full to send Salem a message.

We already have a trip planned to Seattle to watch the Expos play.

BUt I agree that something like that could be great!

On the media coverage, and this idea...

There will be a bunch of press over the course of the week. We'll be calling Dwight in-route to the Mariners vs Expos game, and there has been interest by Fox Sports NW to do a segment on the trip.

There is more news pending today. I will post it as soon as I can.

As for a rally in town... thanks for the great idea!

Good idea. I'd like to have an excuse to riot in the streets of Portland, especially since I almost never agree with those who actually do it!

Yeah that would be fun. Pioneer Courthouse Square is so beautiful in the summer. Why not have a rally sometime!

I guess we have to do most of the rallying/promoting etc. over the next 4 weeks though, until the midsummer classic! Wow, that's coming up.

Before we have a fun rally, let's speak where we realy need to be heard.

Jeff posted a very important Town Hall Meeting that is rare... all the key members of the Senate, inclusing Ways and Means will be meeting in Portland on the 9th.

7PM to 9PM
