Where’s Walden? Coalition Members/Allen Hallmark provide this report...
"On Thursday of last week, Oregon's 2nd district had its biggest collective victory to date! It took place in Medford, but it was the result of months and years of building our peace and justice infrastructure in every corner of the district through local groups in small towns from Madras to Jacksonville and Mosier to Ione."--Amy Dudley, Rural Organizing Project (ROP) http://www.rop.org
"We were astonished to learn that we would soon be meeting with Walden himself using teleconferencing equipment that had just recently been installed."--Allen Hallmark, Citizens For Peace & Justice (CP&J) http://www.medfordcpj.org
As most of you know, a group of us went to the offices of Oregon District 2's notoriously absent congressman, Greg Walden, yesterday (April 5, 2007) expecting to meet with his staff to negotiate a date & time for a teleconference with Walden, instead we got Walden himself via Internet teleconferencing equipment for a little more than one hour.--Hal Anthony
Our group included Mary (our fearless leader), Arlene, Linda, Jill, Marilyn, Mori, Bronson, Lynn, Wes and Allen.
Bottom line: We did get Walden to commit to holding a town hall meeting in our area during the August recess of Congress and that he will try to give us at least one week’s, possibly two-weeks’ notice of the scheduling of the town hall. But no firm date was set and none is likely to be set until late July at the earliest.
