For our #democracy, I am currently watching the weekly online What's the Plan A Weekly Discussion with @indivisible.org Co-Founders Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin today Thursday, April 23th at 3 pm ET. I find these calls to be inspiring & helpful for #DemocracyInAction and to show #DemocracyMatters.

For our #democracy, recent statistic @pbsnews.org @pbs.org. I grew us as a fiscal balance budget deficit hawk conservative. Trump and the MAGA Republicans care nothing about our federal deficit and debt. Their tax cuts for the wealthy and decimating federal services are only making things WORSE!
Happy #EarthDay! For 3rd day in a row, I am charging and using my wife’s 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 6 EV to go to Hood River to knock on doors for my friend @nwpinpdx.bsky.social who is running for Oregon House District 52 and I think is a strong candidate for #climate and #environment. #ClimateAction
For our #Democracy, over the last 4 days, I knocked on 213 doors in Hood River OR to urge voters to support my friend @nwpinpdx.bsky.social who is running for Oregon House District 52. #DemocracyMatters #DemocracyInAction
For #ClimateAction, I charged my wife’s Hyundai Ioniq 6 EV for the first time by myself today. It is so wonderful to use a car that does NOT require fossil fuels, oil & gasoline, for energy. Even more, this EV does NOT pollute the air and does NOT contribute to #climatechange when it is driven.
For our #democracy, my newest blog. It is the final part of a four part story of my actions and reactions to the 2024 Presidential Election that led us to where we are at today. #DeomcracyMatters #DemocracyInAction
For our #Democracy, over the last 3 days in the sun, rain, and cold spring temperatures, I knocked on 182 doors in east Gresham to urge voters to support my friend @nwpinpdx.bsky.social who is running for Oregon House District 52. #DemocracyMatters #DemocracyInAction #ActOnClimate #ClimateAction
For #ClimateAction and our #democracy, I am proud to support @nwpinpdx.bsky.social in his campaign for Oregon House District 52. Recently, he spoke the truth to the trade unions about the environmental and #climate damage caused by data centers, even though the truth angered them. #DemocracyMatters
For our #Democracy, today in the rain and yesterday in the spring sunshine, I knocked on 93 doors in east Gresham to urge voters to support my friend @nwpinpdx.bsky.social who is running for Oregon House District 52. #DemocracyMatters #DemocracyInAction #ORClimateAction #ActOnClimate #climate

For our #democracy, I enjoyed attending a dual fundraiser for Myrna Muñoz and @nafisafai.bsky.social near me this evening in outer NE Portland Myrna is running for OR Senate District 14 and Nafisa is running for Washington County Chair. I was impressed chatting with both of them. #DemocrayMatters
For our #democracy, I am currently watching the weekly online What's the Plan A Weekly Discussion w/ @indivisible.org Co-Founders Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin today Thursday, April 9th at 3 pm ET. I find these calls to be very inspiring and helpful for #DemocracyInAction and show #DemocracyMatters.
Beautiful spring day in Portland, Oregon today! I love living in this city!
Yes! I really enjoyed talking with your Mom and you! I could have stayed to talk longer, but I still had more doors to knock.
For our #democracy and #ORClimateAction, we had a terrific Portland Citizens Climate Lobby coffee meeting with @repdexteror.bsky.social this morning to chat about #climate. #ActOnClimate #LeadOnClimate #GrassRootsClimate #CCL2026 #ClimateAction
For #ORClimateAction, I enjoyed attending the Make Polluters Pay Town Hall this evening hosted by @ojta.org @rogueclimate.org @buildingresilience.bsky.social @taothirdactoregon.bsky.social @olcv.org and other OR coalition groups. #ORClimate #ActOnClimate #MakePollutersPay #climate
For our #democracy, my newest blog. It is the second part of a four part story of my actions and reactions to the 2024 Presidential Election that led us to where we are at today. #DemocracyMatters #DemocracyInAction
For our #democracy, my thoughts for today:

I stumbled across a ground breaking ceremony for a new fire station in Welches, Oregon last Saturday. Afterwards, I asked the firefighters the wrong question: ‘What are you going to do with those fancy gold shovels used in the ceremony?’ The fireman handed one to me and said, ‘Here! It’s yours!’
I hope you had a great Easter weekend. Last Saturday, I enjoyed stopping by the Jonsrud Viewpoint in Sandy, Oregon to get great views of Mt. Hood.
For our #democracy, I knocked on 50 doors in Welches, Oregon recently for @nwpinpdx.bsky.social who is running for OR House District 52. For #ClimateAction, it is vital we flip this seat. I bought a new pair of shoes recently b/c I will knock on a lot of doors this year for Nick & others. #climate
With the rise in gasoline prices, I am very happy my wife bought an EV last week. If you have the means to do so, please consider switching to an electric vehicle. #EVs #ElectricVehicles #CleanEnergy #ActOnClimate #ClimateAction #climate #OilCompaniesSuck
For our #democracy, #ClimateAction, and #CleanEnergy, the cost comparison of driving charging an EV vs. the amount equivalent to one gallon of gasoline. If you have the means to do so, please consider switching to an electric vehicle.
For our #Democracy, Wow! Donald Trump just fired Pam Bondi as Attorney General because he felt she was not fighting hard enough to target and prosecute his political enemies. Another sign Grandpa Trump is delusional and losing his grip on reality. #DemocracyMatters #DemocracyInAction
For our #democracy, a great recent political cartoon reminding us again to ‘Not obey in advance’ (to quote Historian Timothy Snyder) and to speak out and stay loud to push back against Trump acting like a DICK-tator. #DemocracyMatters #DemocracyInAction #NoKings #NoKingsInAmerica
For our #Democracy and for #ClimateAction, my thoughts for today. #climate #ActOnClimate #DemocracyMatters #DemocracyInAction

For our #democracy, today I put out signs in our neighborhood to encourage my neighborhoods to come to our monthly community meeting. If you are not doing this already, please get involved with your local neighborhood/community group. #DemocracyMatters #DemocracyInAction
For our #democracy and for #ClimateAction, the only good sign I saw for April Fool’s Day. #DemocracyMatters #DemocracyInAction #climate #ActOnClimate #CleanEnergy #EndFossilFuels
For #ClimateAction, Crater Lake just set a new record low for their annual snowpack. Seeing the snowpack diminish when I worked seasonally there for 25 years (1992-2017) motivated me to be a full time #climate and #democracy organizer. Let's step up our game to reduce the threat of #climatechange.
