[Sent to our SB 30 mailing list:]

Hello, everyone:

Iâ'll keep this e-mail short.

I want to tell you about the initial success of our new blog in support of SB 30 - noresorts.blogspot.com.

Since it was launched yesterday, we've received over 80 letters and testimonials supporting an uncompromised SB 30. The letters have come from Portland, Salem, Eugene, Bend, Sisters, Maupin, Vancouver, Idaho, Massachusetts and many other places along with dozens of pictures, poems, historical accounts, and personal stories.

The response has been amazing.

The thing is, I know there are many more letters out there waiting to be added to the site. I believe that we've only just scratched the surface. So I'm calling on everyone one last time before the hearing and asking all of you who have sent letters to your lawmakers to send copies of those to info@centraloregonlandwatch and help us build as strong a show of support as possible.

Along with your letters, please let us know who you are, who you've sent the letters to, when you sent them, and the city you live in.

I stayed up last night until one in the morning entering messages, and I promise to stay up tonight and tomorrow as long as I have to in order to get everyone's letters added to the site.

It's okay– I'm asking you to keep me working all hours. So don't be shy, let me see what you've got.

That's all. I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible in Salem on Thursday.

Yours,

-Erik
