City of Ashland Chamber of Commerce VIOLATES the First Amendment!
ACLU & Southern Oregon Jobs with Justice, 03-07-2008 - 11:32
ASHLAND, OREGON, Independence Day 2008--
Ashland Chamber of Commerce told it CAN NOT Block Freedom of Speech!
The Southern Oregon Jobs with Justice (SOJwJ) and the ACLU have told the Ashland Chamber of Commerce they are in violation of our First Amendment. They can not charge 4th of July parade participants different fees based on the content of the entrant's message. This discrimination has been the practice of the Chamber and it must stop NOW!
From the Demand Letter sent to the Ashland Chamber of Commerce: "The ACLU and the SOJWJ, therefore, respectfully demand that, first, the Chamber alter its fee structure so as not to discriminate based on the content of entrants' message, and second, the Chamber refund the additional payment of $70 paid by SOJwJ for the 2007 Ashland Fourth of July Parade. If the Chamber fails to do both of these things, the ACLU of Oregon and SOJwJ are prepared to file a lawsuit to obtain this relief, plus the recovery of reasonable attorney fees."

EUGENE, OR – The Lane County Coalition Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) are hosting a rally and a march on Sunday, June 29th from the EMU on the University of Oregon Campus. They intend to draw awareness to the impact of the Olympics on the poor and homeless communities locally and globally.
THE ATTACKS ON THE HOMELESS GROWS!
Southern Oregonian relates to the Eugene story:
Ashland Homeless Sweep
Jackson County Sheriff Dept., Ashland police and fire just raided homeless camps above Lithia Park yesterday morning. On federal land they do not even need to warn people to remove their tents and sleeping bags and can just confiscate and destroy them. Heaven forbid we should allow people to sleep outside legally within Ashland city limits. The sky might fall or something...

Johnny 'the law man' America, 24-06-2008 - 17:08
TREASON. But bushite are enemies of Liberty for America
and beyond, so, what can Humanity expect from the godless
enemy thieves on defending themselves? They refuse to
support Justice, and as a consequence, they're going under
over tyranny by blatant stupidity. Not geniuses as Alex
Jones would sell you, no. It's that George Norry refuses
EVERY American the Right to DEMAND evidence to form a

Medford, Oregon Says NO to Racial Based HATE!
Written by Wes-, 09-06-2008 - 10:31
-Medford, Oregon, Saturday June 7, 2008
We were a couple minutes late when we found parking on Saturday near Union Park in west Medford, Oregon. As we exited the car and made our way towards the gathering in the city park the entire neighborhood was bathed in song. It kept getting louder as we got closer. What an experience to walk along on this warm sunny Saturday and to hear a chorus of voices singing: "WE SHALL OVERCOME"
Brenda and I joined in the crowd of 100 who stood in a circle right there in Union Park. Dave Marston with guitar in hand led the gathering with songs of support. Medford's public response to racism was strong and clear. There will be Zero Tolerance for racism here!
