Matt,

I'm surprised you voted for Kate, given that she and Rick both agree in 
the only capacity to change that the office provides -- the state land 
board. Both Rick and Kate agree to the 40,000 board foot plan that's the 
"compromise position" in the debate. 70,000 are up for grabs, and of 
course, we'd like to see none of it cut. I'm the only one who has a plan 
to cut none of it while not taking from the common schools fund (see my 
plan on my website about the forests fund).

If you think I'm not "green" enough, I've put thousands of miles on my 
bicycles by daily bicycle commuting, at one point I had a fifty mile 
combined train and bicycle commute. For seven years straight, I did 
consulting and employment commuting by bicycle and I've had my license 
for about a year, for the purpose of long distance travel to rural 
Oregon for the purpose of being able to campaign.

The office of Secretary of State doesn't demand that I tell everybody 
"I'm going to save the earth through manipulating elections." That's 
simply the wrong way to campaign for that office. It's best to talk 
about the issues, and Brown's another Bradbury, keeping Greens off the 
ballot and redistricting more gerrymandering.

Furthermore, about my endorsement of Brownlow, it's clear you don't know 
anything about his positions other than his pro-life position. I wrote 
an article about my endorsement below:

When Brownlow campaigns, the right to life is the last thing on his 
agenda. Watch his videos, see him speak. I've met the guy on the 
campaign trail.

I've put the above link next to my endorsement so as not to confuse 
people, which I did here.

Brownlow's tons better than Merkley on pretty much every issue _except_ 
abortion. If you're a single issue voter, that's fine, vote for Merkley, 
but I'm not a single issue voter.

But if you're anti war, anti-drug-war, and more, Brownlow is clearly the 
worst of three evils.

You'll also note that in the recent surveyusa polling (they publish it 
on their website), Brownlow is polling about evenly from the left and 
the right in Oregon, both by party registration and by self-identified 
liberals and conservatives.

Merkley is not somebody who deserves the Green Party's support.
