Cory Neu, 36, Realtor 1. Yes, I registered in 1989 when I turned 18. 2. No, I am registered as an Independent. 3. Independent. 6. If Obama wins, I will vote for him. If he doesn’t, I’ll vote for McCain. Evelyn Kurihara Philbrook, 55, facilitator 1. Yes, I fi rst registered when I was 18 in California. As a Japanese-American I’ve always believed that if you don’t use your vote, it might be taken away. The right to vote should be taken seriously. 2. No, I voted in primaries in Illinois. 3. Democrat. 4. I voted for Clinton. 5. I’ll vote for Obama. 6. No. Paul Edson, 22, student and sales associate 1. I registered when I was 18. I wanted to vote to take part in government. It’s our duty to vote. 2. Yes, we’re at an interesting time in our country because the majority of people don’t like the president. We shouldn’t be lazy; we should take part in what’s going on in our own country. 3. Democrat. 4. Obama. 5. I don’t know at this point. 6. Possibly upon further education. Chandler Jordan IV, 30, Runs 13th Avenue Market 1. Registered before I was 18 because of patriotism 2. Republican. 3. Will vote for McCain. 6. No way! Brendan Galipeau, 22, student 1. I registered in California when I was 18. Every time I’ve moved, I have re-registered. I registered in October for the primaries. I wanted to re-register for the special election to vote on fi xing land rights. 2. Yes, I think Oregon is actually going to make a difference in the primaries this time. 3. Democrat. 4. I’m undecided. 6. I’ll vote for whoever wins the prim- ary in November. There are things I like and dislike in both candidates. I don’t want McCain to win, but I wouldn’t be destroyed if McCain wins. He’s pretty moderate and works with both parties.

I registered when I was 18. I was hoping to get Bush out of a second term. I re-registered in March while in line to see Obama because I changed my address. 2. Yes, there is an opportunity to get a new name in offi ce that’s not in the Bush family. It would be interesting to see another Clinton in offi ce, but I think Obama will win. I really hope it’s someone who will give us a lot of change, or I am applying to a graduate school in another country. 3. Democrat. 4. Obama. 5. If Clinton wins the nomination, I will vote for her. 6. Unless something horrible comes out on Obama, like a criminal scandal. Or if Obama dies I’ll change my position. Jeffrey Wells, 58, Register-Guard salesman 1. Yes, as soon as I got here 12 years ago. I was a petitioner. 2. Yes, I think it’s really exciting this year. We’re either voting for a black man or a white woman. JB Rinaldi, 22, student 1. Yes, I registered to vote a month ago because I was attacked by a voter activist. 2. Yes, because I want Obama to win. 3. Democrat. 4. Obama. 5. If it’s between McCain and Clinton, I’ll probably end up voting for Clinton. I like Clinton’s views more than McCain’s. 6. Yes, if Obama doesn’t win in the primaries. Donna Frazier, 59, candle seller 1. Yes, a few months ago. I have to go from Green to Democrat. After the primaries I’ll go back to Green. 2. Yes, It’s always important to vote, especially this year because of closeness of Democratic race. 3. Democrat. 4. Obama. Early on I was on the fence, but I think the world is ready for someone who’s not a Clinton or a Bush. 5. I hope it doesn’t come to that, but I’d vote for Hillary. 6. No. David Van Landingham, 31, publishing 1. Yes, registered four years ago. I felt that voting would make a change. 2. No. 3. Registered as “other.” I want to put trust in what I can do in the life that I live and how that can be my political stance instead of putting trust in the political system. • Eugene City Council Ward 7 Friends and Neighbors: Mayor Kitty Piercy, Eugene City Councilors Alan Zelenka, Bonny Bettman and Betty Taylor, Former Eugene City Councilors David Kelly, Shawn Boles and Paul Nicholson, State Senators Floyd Prozanski and Vicki Walker, State Representatives Paul Holvey and Phil Barnhart, Lane County Commissioner Pete Sorenson, Lane ESD School Board Member Carole Horn Dennis www.voteandrea.com 3.
