Delivering for America

Earl Blumenauer For Congress     Dear Friend, I'm sure we've all heard the mantra that Democrats haven't done anything. I reject that notion. Democrats in the U.S. House have gotten a lot done for the American people – things that haven't gotten the attention they deserve because…

Kicking off the fight in Oregon

Earl Blumenauer For Congress     Dear John, The headlines over the last few weeks have Americans spinning. First the Supreme Court reverses Roe v. Wade and undercuts the EPA's authority to deal with climate change. Equally frustrating is that the Senate filibuster remains a barr…

This week's cannabis injustice
