Mayor Bob Quinton spoke against their attempt to purchase property in John Day and the community responded. Letters, signs, rallies and a large showing at public meetings made it clear that they would not tolerate hate groups in their town.
Former white supremacists have said that hate groups “test” a community by taking action and then seeing if anyone in the community responds. If they don’t, they set up shop.
This could happen anywhere, so let’s make sure communities all over the state stay alert and be ready to challenge any such groups. Just because we are rural does not mean that we would tolerate racist hate activity.

Take actions:

Attend Columbia County’s Peace Vigil this Sunday, October 7, 1 to 2 pm. at the Totem Pole in S. Scappoose.

Call your Senators and Congressman Wu. Tell them to vote NO on the additional $42 billion for the Iraq war now before Congress. That’s $42 billion on top of the $100 billion approved in May and the $75billion last October for 2007. Many people believe the new request is a ’slush fund’ to launch attacks on Iran.
Senator Wyden – 503-326-7525
Senator Smith – 503-326-3326
Rep. Wu – 503-326-2901
