| Description: | The Stonewall Oregon blog is paid for by the Democratic Party of Oregon, and is not sponsored by any candidate or candidate’s committee. The GLBT Caucus of the Democratic Party of Oregon was organized in 2005 to represent the interests of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Oregonians within the Democratic Party of Oregon, and among elected members of our party. Since 2005, we have grown to over 1500 members and non-member contacts statewide, including many local activists and elected members of Oregon’s government. We work alongside organizations such as Basic Rights Oregon, National Stonewall Democrats, the Human Rights Campaign, and the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force to ensure basic fairness for all Oregonians. Our work is led by our Executive Committee, which is comprised of our elected officers and representatives from county and regional LGBT Democratic organizations. We rely on the commitment of every Oregon Democrat to ensure basic fairness for all. |

Why Oregon is a National Leader: Congressman Earl Blumenauer
Congressman Earl Blumenauer posted the following article on Huffington Post today. Proudly Changing My Position on DOMA On July 12, 1996, I cast the worst vote of my political career. Having served in public office since 1973, that says something. While I’ve made other mistakes, this was different: it was a deliberate vote that I knew to be poor public policy and was against my values. I’ve been a strong champion of civil rights and protections based on sexual orientation since I chaired the first legislative hearing on anti-discrimination

Catania (I-At Large) expects a final vote before the end of the year. On Thursday, Catania said
