Ranked Choice Voting

Submitted By: hatallman@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Greetings All,
It seems to me that most people have fixed opinions regarding political candidates and issues. It is an exercise in futility to attempt to sway or persuade most potential voters to change their mind. However, I do think it is possible and worthwhile to change the electoral process itself in order to create a more effective democracy for everyone regardless of their beliefs.

The specific change I support is known as Ranked Choice Voting. This is a politically neutral process and has no bearing or position on specific issues. We will vote on a ballot measure this fall to implement this process for statewide elections but I would like to begin organizing in our local communities. Please join me in starting an advocacy group dedicated to enacting the Ranked Choice Voting process at the local level within Clatsop and Tillamook counties. Oregon state law allows for ballot measures at the county level. For example, Benton County voters passed a RCV measure in 2016, which went into effect in 2020.

Here is a link to a short video which explains the process:
What is Ranked Choice Voting?

If you are interested in joining me in advocating for Ranked Choice Voting at the local level please email me and I will coordinate the first meeting. Please remember this is not a political issue and there will be no discussion or advocacy for any candidates, beliefs, or causes.

LIVE ON STAGE: CRIMES OF THE HEART AT THE NCRD PERFORMING ARTS CENTER

RIVERBEND PLAYERS PRESENTS ‘CRIMES OF THE HEART’ AT THE NCRD PERFORMING ARTS CENTER

GREAT SEATS AVAILABLE FOR UPCOMING PERFORMANCES MARCH 8th – 17th

www.RiverbendPlayers.org

CRIMES OF THE HEART:

This darkly comedic play by Beth Henley delves into the messy lives of the Magrath women, each grappling with their own “crimes of the heart.”

Under a searing Mississippi sun, the Magrath sisters’ fragile lives shatter when Babe, the youngest, shoots her philandering husband.

Summoned home, the eldest, Lenny, wrestles with small-town stagnation and dreams of escape.

Meg, the middle sister, a washed-up singer, drowns her past in whiskey, returning with secrets clinging to her like Spanish moss.

As Babe’s legal storm brews, the kitchen of their childhood home becomes a pressure cooker of buried memories and blistering truths.

Past resentments erupt, revealing the scars of their mother’s suicide and their father’s desertion.

Their eccentric cousin Chick stirs the pot, while their flamboyant lawyer Barnette offers shaky legal support and a dash of unexpected romance.

This Pulitzer Prize-winning play paints a bittersweet portrait of Southern women struggling to rise above their “crimes of the heart” and embrace the promise of a brighter future.
