I don't know if Chairman Tom Brian, or anyone else from the Washington County Board of Commissioners, reads the Forest Grove News-Times.  If they do, however, they would have opened up the Sustainable Life section in yesterday's paper to an article about the Cool Washington County rally on November 3rd, which took place outside the County Administrative Building.  I had contacted the News-Times shortly before the date of the anti-global warming rally; they weren't able to spare any of their own reporters, but asked me to send them some pictures.  I did that, and also included a News Release about the event.  Apparently, the editors decided to publish the News Release as an article - thank you, News-Times!

This is the best publicity that this campaign has received so far, and it just goes to show that small actions like our rally really can have an impact.  The article also drew attention to the film screening/panel discussion to take place at Pacific University this Sunday.  Chairman Brian, please take note.

If you haven't already, please SIGN THE PETITION TO THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONER, ASKING THEM TO MAKE THIS A COOL COUNTY!
