VIDEO: Cease Fire - Gaza Attacked - Protest in Portland 1.4.09

It is easy to take the bus from Portland to the HQ's: just take the #12 out Barbur Blvd to the Barbur transit station and transfer to the Wilsonville-bound "SMART" bus (South Metro Area Transit). These buses don't run as often as the rest of the TriMet buses, but they run often enough. A couple of bucks will get you to Wilsonville and a few more will get you back. Anybody attending a Courthouse Square event can easily be in Wilsonville within an hour by bus, if you plan right. The 72nd Avenue FLIR may be worth visiting, but it appears the main HQ is in Wilsonville and if you go there you get the added bonus of visiting Mentor Graphics as well.

Here is basic supplemental info on these two businesses that were mentioned in earlier posts here on Indymedia:

............................MENTOR GRAPHICS:

"Oregon-based company, Mentor Graphics, has been doing business in Israel since 1986 selling graphic software tools and applications to the Israeli government. These tools are used for telecommunications, consumer electronics, semiconductors and aerospace. Most of the purchases are made through the New York Office of the Israeli Ministry of Defense. According to Judy Erdmann, European Liason for Mentor Graphics, "it is very worthwhile to do business in Israel" and she "highly recommends that other companies do business in Israel."

There is an international movement to boycott and even picket Starbuck's in support of a Palestinian and Lebanese boycott of the coffee giant. Starbuck's CEO, Howard Schultz, is reportedly an active supporter of Israel and Zionist causes.
