INDEPENDENCE
Oregon has set an example for the nation with innovative policies and independent thinking.

Jim Gilbert is working to:

• Promote wind, solar, bio-diesel, and other innovative methods of energy production.
• Achieve energy independence by reducing the need for foreign oil.
• Return independent and effective government to Oregon by reducing the influence of out-of-state corporations and special interest groups on our political process.

Oregonians demand justice and fairness for all our citizens.

Jim Gilbert:
