Spanning Polk, Marion, Clackamas, and part of Benton counties. Most of these wineries are small, family run operations.

Schrader the traitor’s action to support this bill shows a stunning lack of respect for his own constituency.

Writing letters to this man is a waste of time. Start a recall petition.

It might be cheaper to pay only the owner of the distributorship in cash. This is a good idea !

Schrader’s district, I am baffled at his position on this issue. I’m even less pleased that he hasn’t even bothered to respond to my email on the issue.

Kurt Schrader [D-OR], whose district includes the Willamette Valley, has signed on as a co-sponsor HR 1161. Absolutely despicable – and very, very odd, considering it’ll hurt so many of his constituents. Tyler Colman has the details. [...]

When is this guy up for re-election? It’d be nice to see somebody like Eric Lemelson throw some of his $$$ muscle behind a rival.
