Tuesday with Cleland!
Posted by Carla Axtman on May 2, 2008
Tuesday, April 29th was an especially incredible day for the campaign. Former Senator and decorated Vietnam Veteran Max Cleland traveled to Oregon to support Jeff Merkley!
In the morning, Jeff and Senator Cleland held a town hall meeting with Jim Rassmann, co-chair of Veterans for Merkley.
The event was moderated by Col. John Zall (ret), (at the microphone in the photo below)
Zall is part of Veterans for Merkley and has also done some blogging in his day.
Jeff used the opportunity to talk more about the new piece of his vet's policy that he announced at the KATU debate last Sunday:free college tuition for families of anyone in uniform who dies in the line of duty.
On Tuesday evening, Senator Cleland joined Jeff for an event at Bridgeport Brewery in Portland that included some great local beer and food!
Some of our local blogging luminaries joined the fun, too:

Hi Jeff. I was undecided on this race until I saw your commercial attacking Novick over taxes. You sound like a good Republican!
Oops. Sorry Jeff. Not your commercial.
