Seventh grade is what we send people to in order to prepare them to enter the military and go off to war. It was lumpy meanness and blight.

I Will Continue To Fight For Single-Payer
Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), 21-01-2010 - 20:03
I Will Continue To Fight For Single-Payer
This message from Congressman Dennis Kucinich is a godsend for Southern Oregonians who have been fighting for Single Payer health care reform! It has been nerve racking to watch activists who have been tricked into supporting insurance companies and the greedy healthcare (non)system. What a HUGE waste of time, money, and energy! HCAN in particular has sold out the working class with a campaign based on lies and deception. Now we can only hope for one thing to happen in Washington DC. We need nothing short of a quick death to the current corporate sponsored healthcare reform, RIP.
"We stand with Dennis Kucinich. We will keep on working and do whatever it takes to bring about the change that sends insurance companies packing. Let them insure cars and houses but keep them the hell away from our bodies and our health!"--Wes Brain, Rogue Valley Single Payer activist.

Tax Fairness Protest @ US Bank in Ashland, OR
YES ON MEASURES 66 & 67, 21-01-2010 - 16:51
January 19, 2010- Oregonians marched on US Bank in Ashland to protest the bank's disrespect for its unemployed customers. For the bank its nothing but greedy profit that drives its huge contributions to the NO on Measures 66 & 67 campaign. At the same time they spend big bucks to defeat these measures the US Bank gets money and unemployed customers because it has a contract with the State of Oregon to automatically receive unemployment compensation bucks from people who have been laid off from work. The bank actually stands to gain as unemployed ranks swell.
Southern Oregon Jobs with Justice organized this action. Protesters included 42 WRAP travelers mainly from Portland on their way to San Francisco for a west coast convergence calling attention to the national travesty of homelessness. Most of the travelers are without homes or jobs so the protest at the bank has direct implications for them. The WRAP travelers were joined by Southern Oregonians and the crowd of over 60 presented over 1000 names on a petition calling on US Bank to stop abusing its unemployed customers. Passing measures 66 and 67 will help the most effected in this recession.
The demonstration took place during a wind and rain storm. Protesters chanted loudly: "We got sold out. Banks got bailed out." A bank manager refused to accept the petitions so they were taped to the teller window.

Demand US Bank stop hurting the unemployed
* TAX * F A I R N E S S * N O W ! *, 13-01-2010 - 19:12
OREGON'S UNEMPLOYED DESERVE A BREAK
Holding an incredibly powerful position to exploit unemployed Oregonians US Bank has spent big bucks to defeat measures 66 and 67 in the current January 26, 2010 election.
US Bank is the largest bank in Oregon. It is also the issuer of the ReliaCard, a "prepaid Visa" card through which out-of-work Oregonians receive their unemployment benefits. As a result, hundreds of thousands of US Bank's unemployed customers would get a tax cut if Oregonians vote YES for tax fairness. However, US Bank is opposing these efforts. It is simple - if the big banks win, out of work Oregonians will lose.
This issue is further explained by Tax Fairness Oregon. Go to their website and get the details and SIGN THE PETITION demanding the US Bank stop hurting its unemployed customers.

U.S. Chamber of Commerce Elected 2009's National Scrooge of the Year
J O B S * W I T H * J U S T I C E, 21-12-2009 - 21:54
DECEMBER 21, 2009--Southern Oregon Jobs with Justice (SOJwJ) announces: U.S. Chamber of Commerce Elected 2009's National Scrooge of the Year.
The Chamber's narrow, radical agenda advocating for anti-worker, profit-focused solutions to the broken health care, labor, and environmental systems garnered them the most votes for the national Jobs with Justice "Scrooge of the Year" award.
Southern Oregon has been alarmed at local Chambers of Commerces with First Amendment violations waged by the City of Ashland's Chamber after its sponsorship of the 2007 Fourth of July Parade. In 2008 SOJwJ and ACLU of Southern Oregon gave the Ashland Chamber of Commerce a Free Speech lesson http://www.rogueimc.org/en/2008/07/13203.shtml
This year's Scrooge contest pitted the Chamber of Commerce against Bank of America, nominated for their role in the sub-prime lending crisis and failure to extend credit to small businesses. SOJwJ previously shouted out a patriotic warning about BoA on Dec. 12, 2008 with the People's Bail-Out Rally in Medford, Oregon http://www.rogueimc.org/en/2008/12/14290.shtml

Eagle Point School Board Trashes Workers
GRINCH HURTS WORKERS RIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS, 20-12-2009 - 01:56
Sodexo successfully gets the Eagle Point School Board to turn over its nine food service managers to this greedy company who makes money by paying workers less, decreasing their benefits and taking away their voice at work. This is what union busting is all about.
The December 17, 2010 School Board meeting was timely for union busting since a new Oregon State law (HB2867) about "transparent outsourcing contractual requirements" does not take effect until January 1, 2010. This is just plain sleazy!
Wow--this is what being a Grinch looks like, trashing workers just before Christmas. The vote was divided with 3 voting for Sodexo and 2 voting for the workers. Three lumps of coal for the three Board Members who voted to trash workers!
