John Kitzhaber  http://www.johnkitzhaber.com  (Coordinated Campaign office is in the old Obama Main office at 30th and Division)  Daily: phone banks and regular canvasses.  John is neck and neck in a race - he has real solutions and plans for the state, but needs our help to get his message out to the voters.

EASTSIDE
