Cobb won 14 of the 19 dele- gates allocated to the Pacific Green Party. Two delegates will be assigned for “None of the Above” and one delegate will be pledged to each of the following candidates: Peter Camejo, Lorna Salzman and Ralph Nader. Nader is running as an independent in November. Cobb, a Texan now living in California, is leading in the delegate count heading up to the national Green Party convention to be held June 25-27 in Milwaukee, Wisc. “This campaign is all about growing the Green Party and providing an alternative to the bankrupt policies of the two major, corpo- rately funded political parties,” said Cobb in a prepared statement. ACTIVIST ALERT • House parties to support the presidential candidacy of John Kerry are now happening in Eugene and have raised more than $16,000 out of a total of $90,000 in Oregon during the month of May. The statewide contact for house parties is Lisa Sohn at (503) 209-5933. • A “No on 36” campaign briefing for community leaders is planned for 5:30 pm Thursday, June 10, at the Eugene Public Library. Initiative 36 is Oregonians in Action’s revived Measure 7 “takings” initia- tive that is expected to qualify for the November election. The measure is seen as a direct attack on Oregon’s land use laws. Campaign director Tim Raphael will review results of initial polling and focus groups, re- view campaign message and lay out key early strategy elements. Contact is timraphael@comcast.net or (503) 490-1060. • Coming up June 19 are a teach-in and rally on “Iraq after June 30: Can We Get Out … How?” featuring Ibrahim Gassama, asso- ciate professor of international law at UO, Susan Cundiff of WAND and Gordon Lafer, associate professor with LERC at UO. The event begins at noon Saturday at the Federal Building, 7th and Pearl downtown. “More than 800 American soldiers dead, 10,000 or more Iraqis dead, and an untold number of Iraqis and American soldiers in- jured. How can we justify such cost?” reads a statement from Progressive Responses, a CALC program sponsoring the event. “Support our troops by holding our elected officials accountable for the administration’s policies in Iraq. Come, get informed and be prepared to take action.” For more informa- tion, call 485-1755. medical advice for global travelers T HE T RAVEL C LINIC 1200 Hilyard St., Suite S-560 343-6028 Start traveling healthy today at www.TravelClinicOregon.com RED BARN N AT U R A L G R O C E RY E S T. 1 9 8 2 Whole foods, for whole people . . .
