The stink over the ORGOP’s Oregon Transformation Project’s (OTP) endorsement of Democrats over Republicans is starting to spread over the whole Oregon Republican Party establishment. As many of you know I resigned my membership in the Oregon Republican Party in July. The OTP’s treasurer, Rob Kremer, was a primary reason I did so.
Friday, July 13, 2012 at 1:23PM Mr. Yue,
My name is Nadine Hanhan and I am writing to express my severe disappointment with the Oregon Republican Party.
On June 23, I attended the District 4 Convention in Roseburg with fellow Republicans as a precinct committeewoman to vote for delegates, alternates and other elected positions. I was excited to participate, to run as an alternate delegate, to record my video, and to see how our Republic works first hand. I was proud to see that others had cheered for me upon watching me give my speech on the screen—most people did not get cheers. I have never been so passionate about politics until this election, and I was very excited to participate for the first time in my life.

At stake was the selection of 28 delegates who will attend the national convention. The number of delegates was apportioned in Oregon based upon the percentage of votes each candidate garnered in the republican primary election.

Roseburg, OR- It hasn’t even been a full month since Ajay Pichette got her daughter Nakota (Kota) back home, following a four year battle with Oregon’s Department of Human Services (DHS).
Kota is settling in nicely to her new routine, according to her Mother, after begin taken from her at only seven weeks old. ;)

This would normally been followed by an immediate return to mother, but the state, this time joined by foster parents Mike and Kim Root, both Douglas County Sheriff’s Deputies, filed yet another petition to keep Nakota from her family.

Sunday afternoon, January 15, at about 2:00 p.m., four year old Nakota, was finally returned to her mother after four years of court battles and hearings that would ultimately determine her fate. Bright eyed, precocious, “Kota”, as her mother calls her, couldn’t possibly know how fierce the battle was, nor how many state agency case workers and lawyers were involved, nor could she possibly grasp the amount spent on legal costs, estimated to be in excess of $100,000, in an effort to keep the child from her from
