OREGON (OR).

PORTLAND, ALOHA, TIGARD, BEAVERTON, GERVAIS


Oregon's Armed Forces Day gives residents an opportunity to see the capabilities of the Oregon National Guard and the Office of Emergency Management, and introduces them to the agencies that support the state and work with federal partners. Oregon is fertile ground for Barack Obama, the self-described "change" candidate. The state that has led the way in everything from bike trails to assisted suicide is also the first to vote entirely by mail.
