1. No, Oregon’s constitution did not die of dysentery. This week on #50Weeks50Constitutions we journey down that Trail. The state (which locals will remind you is pronounced Or-ih-gEn”) adopted its constitution in 1857 & stuck with it, though with many amendments over the years.
2. The US AND UK jointly possessed “Oregon Country” from 1818 until 1846. This uneasy equilibrium extended all the way from Alaska (Russia) to California (Spain then Mexico). The non-native presence was virtually non-existent, with the Hudson’s Bay Co having the biggest impact. 
3. After a couple decades things suddenly went very Americana. In 1840 there were 150 US citizens in Oregon Country. 5 years later that grew to 5000 with most settling in the Willamette Valley. Then a 1846 treaty left the land south of the 49th Parallel under complete US control.

"OHA’s mission is to transform #health care to help #Oregonians live healthier lives. At the heart of the Chronic Pain Task Force proposal is a goal to expand evidence-based treatment options to improve patient health & safety." - Dana Hargunani, OHA Chief Medical Officer
"The primary focus of the task force was to develop a recommended benefit package that includes a menu of evidence-based, non-pharmacological pain treatments that should be offered to certain chronic pain patients."
#PDX @portlandmercury #Oregonians - You know, if every one of us who rejects the white supremacist violent thugs like Proud Boys showed up on August 4th instead of relying on Antifa to do our job, we would win

Imagine if the largest number of people ever turn out, imagine if 75,000 like the number who showed up for Obama in 08 showed up. Do you think the Proud Boys would ever come back? No, they wouldn't. We could rid ourselves of this filth with nonviolence if we show up in numbers
I don't want Antifa doing our job. We need to be the ones standing up. We need @tedwheeler, @PortlandChamber @pdxpoliceunion @JwJpdx @SEIULocal503 @Oregon_AFSCME, @ILWULocal5, and all the rest. Every decent Portlander should be there
