1. will do

will share with son in Portland. We were fortunate to see Kerry in Portland in May. Wonder if repugs will hire homeless people again to hold anti-Kerry signs?

[classof56]

3. Seriously?

I hadn't heard that, but of course nothing surprises me anymore about the depths to which this mis-administration will go. I'm sure they'd justify paying homeless to carry signs, never once considering just why these folks are homeless. Geez...as always, I can only say--

Bush MUST GO!!

[sandnsea]

5. I was there too

I actually didn't notice any anti-Kerry signs. Only the group of LaRouchies. It was a great event! I was standing right below Kerry-Dean when they arrived on that balcony thing. In fact, I was the lady trying to fish the T-Shirt out of the water. I lost. :( I'll see you there next Friday!

[medeak]

11. yeah...

saw the La Rouchies too.

couldn't miss the homeless as we were staying at hotel two doors down and saw them sleeping every night.

2. Any details about time and place?

I'm sure I'll hear soon, but anxious to know the details. So glad he's coming to Oregon!!

Bush Must Go!!!

8. Kerry in Oregon 8/12 & 8/13

As John Kerry nears Oregon to conclude a two-week, twenty state “Believe in America” tour across the country, more details of his appearances in Oregon are now available.

Kerry and his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, will arrive in Medford on Thursday afternoon and attend a public rally at Fichtner Mainwaring Park. In Portland the following day, another large public rally will be held at Waterfront Park. Oregon residents General Tony McPeak and Jim Rassmann will also join the Kerrys on their travels through Oregon. Both events are free and open to the public. Ticketing information for the Medford event is available below.

“The vision and values that John Edwards and I have set out in ‘Our Plan for America’ can bring our country together again,” said John Kerry. “We can build stronger communities. We can secure equality and strengthen opportunity. We can demand and support responsibility from all. For us, these values are not just words. They’re about the causes we champion and the people we fight for.”

9. Supposedly, he'll be appearing in Eugene Friday morning.

No details as to time or place yet. Heard on KLCC.
http://www.klcc.org

It would have to be first thing in the morning, since he's going to Portland later in the day.

They are spending Thursday night/Friday morning in Eugene. They're flying in. That's all I know for now.

[0rganism]

10. Last time he was in Portland, I was meeting Kucinich in Lake Oswego

This time, I'm volunteering to work at John Kerry's rally.

May the Great Magnet grant us a smooth and successful operation.

12. John bon Jovi

heard he's playing in Portland for Kerry? and Di Caprio will be there as well..(if anyone cares)

[depakid]

13. maybe we should all pick a place to hang out-

it would be nice to meet some of you all.

[0rganism]

14. Hint: pick an e-z-to-find place a few blocks away from the rally site

There are going to be tens of thousands of people there tomorrow. It's a freaking rock concert, and the Bite is happening at the same damn time. "SW corner of 3rd and Columbia at 11am" will work, but "near the porta potties" probably won't.

[depakid]

15. I was thinking more like somewhere after the rally

when people are dispersing. The thing is supposed to start at 10:00, but you know how that works....

Kell's might be a good choice.

[0rganism]

16. Kell's will be an interesting choice, everyone will be going there :D

The trick will be fitting in the door. 60,000 people going straight from the rally to Kells....

The Thing will open to the public at 10:00am, but the Happenings won't really be rolling until after 11:00am. I don't expect Kerry's cadre to get started before noon. The Thing will probably be goin' until 3:00pm at least.

It will be HOT tomorrow. Water will be provided for the teeming masses, but you might want to bring in some of your own.

The Thing is going to be a BLAST!

[depakid]

17. I'll be there!

Since i don't know exactly where the stage will be it would be hard to pick a place to meet during the rally.

However, I will be wearing big white a T-shirt with a big picture of Emeliano Zapata on the back- maybe you'll spot me. (yeah, I know, fat chance....).

[0rganism]

18. It would be practically impossible to meet by design in the rally

The stage is just SW of the Hawthorne bridge. There are about 7000 "1st class" ticket holders who will be closest to the stage. Then there's "coach class" seating south of that, in the "bowl". I'm volunteering to help with telling folks where to go and what to do when they get there, so you might see me "ushing" around the edges.
