Important Message for Bernie Supporters
 |
If you are a Pacific Green Party member who has changed your voter registration to Democrat in order to vote for Bernie Sanders in the May 2016 primary, please protect grassroots democracy in Oregon and make a pledge to re-register with the Pacific Green Party after the primary. The number of voters we have registered in our party is vital to our ability to place Green Party candidates on your ballot. |
