Jeff Merkley is ready to change this country. He will work with a President
Barack Obama to fix the economy, reduce the cost of health care, and fight for the middle class. America faces so many challenges: a $10 trillion debt; mired in war; millions of jobs lost; and now a massive Wall Street
meltdown. America needs a clean break from the failed economic policies of
George Bush. And Oregon can deliver that change by election Jeff Merkley, a
senator who's ready to change this country.
