This report appears in print form on Page 2 of the Monday edition of Portland Oregon's Oregonian newspaper, in the Metro section.
It also appears on the OregonLive blog for the Oregonian newspaper, listed below.
This is only 1 day from the time of this post.
Not much else to say at this time, other than this report was very easy to miss.
here's my hand-typed copy of the article by Harry Esteve:
" Karl Rove, reviled by many Democrats but viewed as a canny strategist by many Republicans, will be in Portland this week attending a fund-raiser for the state Republican Party and it's Washington County branch.
Details of the visit were unavailable. Shawn Cleave, spokesman for the state party, said Rove is scheduled to visit friday. He said the visit will be open to donors and to the news media.
Rove, top adviser to president Bush, has made a number of trips to Oregon on behalf of the party.
More recently, Rove has been tied to the Valerie Plame scandal at the White House, in which the name of the CIA agent was leaked to reporters, apparently for Political reasons."
And that's all there is.
New! Multiple confirmations via various print and broadcast outlets.
Video and radio broadcast procucers have confirmed that they are aware of the event.
2 major video news outlets and one major radio outlet have confirmed.
I have placed a new Craig's list bulletin with the location of the private event, as well as a public googlemap listing.
This event offers people a unique opportunity to communicate directly to the current federal government executive branch exactly what Oregon's true feelings are in regards to the tack our country's sailing on.
That's it.
I'm thinking a candlelight vigil after nightfall. I'm thinking that a candle for each fallen serviceperson would be an appropriate, but non confrontational means to protest the current situation in Iraq.
What do you guys think?
