As seen in books, quirky films, and (now) other states near you, volunteer Bus riders drive political change by knocking on hundreds of thousands of doors. We take a day to literally get on the Bus with forward-thinking candidates around the state who will likely win or lose by just a few votes. Then we toss a party.

Gearing up

Wear: Comfortable shoes, sunscreen and/or gore-tex.

Bring: Water bottle, charged phone, old friends. (All optional, but all encouraged.)

Food: No worries. It’s provided. (Including breakfast!)

Dollars: It’s free, friend. However, American-made ‘Volunteer’ t-shirts (highly useful regalia) are sold at our cost ($10) on Bus Trip days.

Fine print: Any work for candidates are sponsored and funded wholly in an appropriate fashion by 501(c)(4) and PAC groups. Any in-kind contributions are duly reported to the Secretary of State. Donations to those groups are not tax deductible, but Oregon tax filers get a free $50 per calendar year to give to the political group of their choice. Hint hint.
