Dear Native American Student Union :
As a representative of POEM (Post Office to Eugene Museum), a community group seeking to repurpose the historic downtown post office into a people's art museum and a group with a blog (https://poempnw.wordpress.com) , I would like to introduce myself and my group to the Confederated Tribes of Oregon.
Please see blog on this effort: https://poempnw.wordpress.com Look for Memorandum of Agreement signed by government preservation officials.
We have a scheduled meeting with an aide to Senator Jeff Merkley for Tuesday morning, 10/18 and would appreciate any feedback before then, if possible. Right now, I am just hoping for an expression of interest in the project. If this seems like a project worthy of tribal attention and time, why would you be interested and who would be my best contact person going forward.
Sincerely,
Jerry Ross

On behalf of Our Revolution’s Marketing Committee, I would like to extend an invitation to attend our weekly meetings at Whirled Pies Downtown, 199 W 8th Ave, Eugene, OR 97401 every Saturday at 11 am.
Our Revolution will reclaim democracy for the working people of our country by harnessing the transformative energy of the “political revolution.” Through supporting a new generation of progressive leaders, empowering millions to fight for progressive change and elevating the political consciousness, Our Revolution will transform American politics to make our political and economic systems once again responsive to the needs of working families.
Our Revolution has three intertwined goals: to revitalize American democracy, empower progressive leaders and elevate the political consciousness.
We are currently actively working on the Bernie Sanders campaign and would appreciate having participation from members of your organization and the Native American population more generally, in our efforts.
Sincerely,
Jerry Ross
