Call to action: Urge Albany mayor,
councilors not to fly anti-abortion flag
Residents in Albany Ward III recently received a mailer from conservative activists pushing a radical proclamation and for the council approve flying an anti-abortion flag at City Hall throughout October. Albany's residents have strongly opposed restrictions on reproductive freedom, as the defeats of several anti-choice ballot measures in recent years show.
We cannot let extremist conservative activist voices carry the day. Contact the mayor and city councilors ASAP to let them know you oppose the proclamation and flying this flag. If you are able, please also plan on attending the Albany City Council meeting on Sept. 27. Click the links below to send an email to Albany's city councilors and mayor.

Linn Dems Cookout & Dessert Auction
Sixty people turned out Sept. 9 for our annual Cookout & Dessert Auction at River Park in Lebanon. The auction and donations raised about $3,300 for the Linn County Democrats. Brenda Sterner had the evening's top bid of $205 for Mark Leonard's always popular Reine de Sabe (a.k.a. Queen of Sheba), a classic French chocolate torte. Thank you to everyone who donated and successfully bid on the delicious desserts and to those who helped with the cookout on a beautiful evening in the park.
Democratic Party of Oregon Platform Convention
The Democratic Party of Oregon Platform Convention wrapped up Aug. 20 at Western Oregon University in Monmouth. Seventeen Linn County delegates participated in the three-day convention. "(DPO Chair) Rosa Colquitt got a bunch of legislators to interact with delegates in our (legislative action item) breakout sessions, so we felt our voices were heard," said Mary Cooke, Linn County delegate from Lebanon. Delegates will vote on the platform and legislative action items in coming days, and the documents will be finalized soon.
