Oregon Democrats Sponsor a Day at the Gun Range

The Gun Owners Caucus of the Democratic Party of Oregon is hosting an all-day shooting event:

• Sunday, September 28th, 2008
  
• 10 am to 4 pm
• At the Central Oregon Shooting Sports Association (COSSA), just SE of Bend, OR.

Save the date!

This centrally located and well-equipped all-purpose range was selected as the ideal spot for Oregon Democrats who enjoy shooting and standing up for our civil rights to get together for a fun day with friends from around the state. The COSSA is east of Bend on Highway 20, at the first road on the left past mile post 24.

For those who support the 2nd Amendment but don't exercise the right to own a firearm yourselves, we expect to have a virtual arsenal on hand for people to learn or practice on. However, you will need to pay for your own ammunition. Those bringing firearms should bring sufficient ammunition for the day. And for anyone wanting to learn how to clean a firearm, I'm sure there will be opportunity for that as well.

The range will be at our disposal for the day, with plans for shooting from 10 am to 4 pm. There will be both rifle and pistol bays available for target practice. We're looking into catering, too.

Start talking to your friends about car-pooling to Bend and having a day of fun before the final push towards November 4. We've already gotten commitments for participation from several prominent pro-2nd Amendment Oregon Democratic office holders and candidates. This will be a great opportunity to meet your fellow activists and elected representatives from around the state. Please plan on coming.

Spread the word; and hope to see you in Bend!

Ice Cream Pot Luck

In the middle of August we are planning to have an ice cream potluck - with all Oregon ingredients...

and fun - of course -

It's a send off for those going to Denver and a chance for candidates to chat with us....

Details to follow - we are still locating a good spot for this.....

Update - too much going on in August - so this ice cream potluck is now being planned for September

We have fun in Portland!

Early 2008, the MultcoDems elected a fun bunch of officers....

How many political groups have a vice chair who does a curtsy at every meeting...

Here she demonstrates that curtsy in front of the affectionately labeled "donkey stable" in Portland.






And here is our chair: KC Hanson

Why we are Dems

We like people - all kinds of people - and we like to have fun....

fun is good and dems have fun...so we are dems!

Can you picture republics publicly and loudly marching in a gay pride parade?

Can you picture them allowing anyone into their meetings?

Nope - but we do both...
