I’m live-blogging from the Oregon Summit, where I attended a private meeting of county party chairs and major donors with Senator Ron Wyden. In that meeting, Senator Wyden made a commitment, which his office confirmed: I will insist that the President obtain Congressional authorization before initiating armed conflict with Iran.

This YouTube video brought to mind the communications workshop at the FCNL annual meeting, in which we worked on different aspects of communications strategy around presentation of a memorial event with flags to represent all those that have died in the war. I thought you would want to see it.
[Edit: I’ve had to remove the video, because the YouTube code is now doing funny things to my website.]
The presentation you see in this video was put on at both Reed College and Lewis & Clark over the past couple of weeks (though the footage is apparently only from L&C). The people putting it on are friends of mine from the Dean campaign and others with whom they have since connected through Democracy for America. The event was sponsored by the Students for a Democratic Society chapters at the schools, as well as by the Iraq Peace Project.
