That is excellent! Few people realize that there is massive human trafficking, i.e. people making money selling, trading other people, in Oregon! Somehow I don't think slavery, the theme here, or extensive abuse of people is what we have in mind and it's clear Metsger will take the political spin, confront this issue as how it <strong>really is</strong> on the ground. Trading people for money is simply wrong. I just found this out and it's quite a good sign he would be the best Secretary of State for Oregon. He has a list of major accomplishments in the State legislator on his website. In my view you want someone dealing with the real issues and not what is particularly politically expedient simply because most voters do not understand the real agenda buried underneath particular media and political spin.
