Ron Green (6,661 posts) My Act Blue account is up, and I'd like your support.http://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/rondu Please consider supporting a fellow DUer in my run for the Oregon State House. Although the incumbent Republican is heavily financed by all the big pharmaceutical and insurance companies, I'm finding a gratifying level of encouragement and support from people here in the "red" part of the Willamette Valley who are seeing the need for new and more sustainable policies. Thanks for joining me in this race. Ron
I guess it depends on if he leaves the DUmp, or not. Our buddy Steve could have avoided all of his troubles if he had taken our overlord franksolich's advice, and absconded from the DUmp as soon as he announced his candidacy.
I picture a big red all seeing eye tracking across the landscape searching for Mr. Green. Kinda like Lord of the Rings.
But does Ron Green like serving mini tacos?
“I think the voters are fed up with career politicians who put their own interests and the interests of out of state campaign donors ahead of the needs of the middle class families in their districts,†said Green. “I will serve as a citizen legislator, not a long-term politician.â€
Ron Green (6,661 posts) 2. Thanks. Small amounts from all overwill get the job done.
It is a DUchebag, of course it does.
For 8 years I've relied on DU members for information, insight and humor. Now in my run for State Representatives, I ask for your support to move the Oregon House over to the Blue side. My goal represents 10 cents for each registered member!
Ron Green has led an interesting life. He served in the US Army during the Korean War. He spent almost 10 years owning and running a bicycle shop in Texas. He developed and directed the richest one-day race in Texas, the Lewisville Criterium, in 1981, ‘82 and ’83. He even sponsored the winning team in the Spenco 500 mile race in its first year.Green has also been a public school teacher. He's taught adult education courses in prisons in Texas and New Mexico. He was an integral part of the highly successful Disability Navigator program in Oregon, which helped Oregonians living with disabilities gain job skills to move into the work force.He's been good at all that stuff. And now he wants to take his amalgam of mad skills to Salem as the state representative from Albany.
He is definitely not anything like Steve: http://www.blueoregon.com/2012/07/or-house-ron-green-wants-job-albany-you-should-give-it-him/I need to check out his posting history.

I bet you could run Red Green against him and Red would win.
I'd vote for Red Green over a DUmmie. Then again, I'd vote for Red Green over most Republicans too.
Look at that picture. Does he look like he's pushing 80? If this guy was there during the shooting (ended in July 1953) at the age of 18, that would make his birth year NO LATER THAN 1935, meaning he's at least 77, and almost certainly older, given the age of the average combat vet from Korea was 23-24, if not older given the number of WWII vets who served there as well.
The state Dem website says he is a Vietnam "era" vet. He may be having trouble keeping his story straight. Have to look & see if ever claimed Kenyan birth.
When discussing how his military experience might inform his work as a legislator, Green was brief. "We should stop making so many vets, especially disabled vets, of which I am one," he said. Green said he hopes to support the expansion of healthcare to all Oregonians, as well as everything he can to support vets. "I am a vet. Unlike my opponent (Republican Andy Olson), I'm not just a flag waver."
