Almost there!

Posted by Carla Axtman on January 24, 2008

We've almost made it to that million dollar mark for the campaign!

Will you be the one to give the millionth dollar for Jeff Merkley?

We've been watching the donations roll in all week long! It's been so exciting to see that red line moving over closer to that million dollar mark.

At this pace, some time tonight or early tomorrow morning...we'll be there! Please contribute today and help us reach the million dollar goal.

Jeff Merkley was born in the small town of Myrtle Creek, Oregon, the son of a sawmill worker. He's fought hard for working families in Oregon and he's ready to help lead America.

As Oregon's Speaker of the House, Jeff Merkley led one of the most effective, efficient and progressive legislative sessions in Oregon's history - with big achievements for schools, ethics, health care, jobs, alternative energy, and protections for working families.

From the Oregonian:

Merkley raced [quarter-midget cars] as a child, and once owned -- and crashed -- a Harley. He roomed with an impoverished family in Ghana as a teen, hitchhiked across Israel as a young man and went on, as he puts it, to help shut down one of Portland's worst crack alleys.

"I've lived," he says, "a pretty unconventional life."
