• Portland Bureau of Transportation: Help Keep Roseway Safe
    Roseway neighbors are concerned about the impact the signals at this major intersection are having on the safety of our neighborhood streets. At rush hour, streets on both the north and the south sides of Fremont and Sandy are experiencing high speed cut-through traffic as commuters attempt to avoid the lengthy vehicle back-up at this intersection. In addition, pedestrians who wish to visit local businesses, or simply navigate the intersection, experience long wait times at each crossing.

  • Ryan/Keane wedding: Support the Las Vegas Option!
    Melissa Ryan and Micheál Keane are widely-loved members of the progressive community. But recently, rumors have circulated that they may cave to the corporate, right-wing 'Not Las Vegas' special interests. We can't let that happen. Together, progressives must make sure Melissa and Micheál keep their backbone and hold their wedding in beautiful Las Vegas.

  • Change to the Metric System!
    When our nation was founded, we had pounds, shillings and pennies where: 1 shilling = 12 pennies, and 1 pound = 20 shillings. It was very complicated. You divide by 12 and 20, carry, to add numbers. Our nation adopted decimal currency where 1 dollar = 100 cents. When our nation was founded, we had inches, feet, yards, fathoms, miles, etc. where: 1 foot = 12 inches, 1 yard = 3 feet, and 1 mile = 63360 inches. Today, we still use this old world legacy system. We need to bring our weights and measures up to the twenty first century. Congress should finally pass legislation to finish the metric conversion, stalled in the 1980s.

  • Tell the Sunday Shows: Enough John McCain
    If Senator John McCain had his way, we'd be arming ISIS in Syria and fighting them on-the-ground after they cross over the border into Iraq. It's enough to make you wonder why television news shows have him on so often. It's not that there shouldn't be voices critical of the president on Sunday shows, but a bit of diversity from the McCain-Graham view of more war, everywhere, would be nice. In 2013, John McCain made twenty-five appearances on various Sunday network talk shows. That's enough for an individual who has just about exhausted his last measure of credibility on these issues. Sign our petition if you agree.

  • PM Lamothe for President 2016
    We are at a critical juncture in our history as a people. Therefore, we have a choice to make between the past and the future. If we want a better Haiti for our children and our children's children, it is imperative that we rally behind PM Lamothe. Otherwise, Lavalas will win the National Palace, and they will take the country back to the dark era of Pelebren, dechoukaj, arrogant ignorance, lawlessness, organized crimes, muzzling of the press, etc...

  • Vote NO to selling Lincoln School
    As a resident of Ward 3, I feel 12 days is not enough time to consider the pros and cons of selling Lincoln School and such a decision should not be made in such haste. Many residents of Creston's 3rd ward agree that 29 units (16 senior apartments and 13 town homes) is TOO MUCH to develop and only benefits a few people. And, fellow Crestonians agree. Seldin's proposed project also takes away our neighborhood play space. Other wards have green space, why take ours? In conversations, Seldin's developers were very clear that forgoing the town home portion of the plan on the green space was not an option. We want a library that will invest in future generations, and the library's new plans reflect that. The new library and cultural center will increase our property values while creating a place that inspires, heals and empowers our community. Don't you agree that Creston deserves that? Don't feel rushed in your decision. If you do, vote no to Seldin Company.

  • Save Our Trees
    Caltrans has begun removing the trees along the 101 right of way, down Kansas St., and it has increased the noise significantly. The trees are the only protection this side of Potrero Hill has from the freeway sites/sounds/dirt/grime/etc. Caltrans should stop removing trees and replace the ones we've lost with some sort of sound/sight barrier.
