I'm a political activist and policy analyst in Oregon, which means I'm one of those crazy liberals you hear about on FoxNews that's destroying the world. I'm currently helping make sure Barack Obama is our next prez. Feel free to drop a line if you'd like. Always love to meet like-minded folks. :-)
