(SALEM, Ore. ) - Oregon Governor Ted Kulongoski is encouraging his fellow Oregonians to support Springfield, Oregon’s bid to host the premiere of The Simpsons Movie by casting their vote online by July 9th.

“With Simpsons creator Matt Groening a native Oregonian and references to our state littered across the show, I think it is clear that the Simpson’s Springfield is Springfield, Oregon,” said Governor Kulongoski. “In Oregon we have always held a special place in our hearts for the Simpsons family and it would be an honor to welcome them home for their movie debut. I encourage all Oregonians to join me in voting for our Springfield.”

The contest, currently being hosted by USA Today.com, asked fourteen Springfields across the United States to submit a video on why they best represent the “Simpsons Spirit” and are most deserving to host the July 26th premiere.
