Progressive PAC’s goals include defeat of Karen Minnis
Portland, Ore. - Democracy for Oregon, the statewide progressive group inspired by Howard Dean, announces the creation of a new progressive Political Action Committee, DFO Action. DFO is sending the following announcement to its statewide list of nearly 4,000 supporters:

Oregonians have had enough of House Speaker Karen Minnis and her destructive stranglehold over our state.

We’ve watched as Minnis (R-Dist. 49) has destabilized Oregon's education, public safety, and human services budgets. We’ve watched as Minnis has used parliamentary games and power plays to block hearings and keep bills from being voted on in the House.

We've been outraged as Minnis irresponsibly pulled out of the joint Ways and Means Committee and then closed down the House to keep it from passing bills critical to the forward progress of our state. And we've watched as Minnis, like the Red Queen in Alice in Wonderland, yelled "Off with their (political) heads!" to any moderate Republicans who dared to compromise on taxes or a balanced state budget.

1. where is her district?

I would probably know this if I lived in OR, but what area of the state does she represent? How hard will it be to defeat her?

2. R 49, Wood Village (a bit east of Portland)

3. Just the type of district that will suffer

immensely from her actions.

The woman (and her husband) have no honor nor an ounce of integrity. They're a disgrace to the state (as well as to themselves).

The state party has to have rocks in their heads for not seriously challenging her the last time out-

4. don't like her or her

politics!
