Presidential Candidates Get Specific on Trade

Arthur Stamoulis / Oregon Fair Trade Campaign, 14-05-2008 - 09:11

National polling results released May 1 by the Pew Research Center found, "There is now broad agreement that free trade negatively affects wages, jobs and economic growth in America. By greater than six-to-one, the public says free trade agreements result in job losses rather than in new jobs." More so, a greater majority of independent voters had a negative view of the impact of free trade than registered Democrats.

Southern Oregonians are active in the Oregon Fair Trade Campaign (ORFTC) and citizens in the State of Jefferson (Northern California, too!) stand in unity with the FAIR TRADE WORK being done by ORFTC. Check out the newest report...

Brian Vincent, 25-04-2008 - 14:16

Cougars, wolves, bears, and other keystone species are critical to maintaining ecosystems. And they symbolize the rugged beauty that is Oregon. But they have also long been feared. So how should these species be “managed?” Or should they be "managed" at all? Last year, Oregon officials began implementing a controversial plan to kill cougars across the state. Is such a plan warranted? Or it is based more on fear than fact? Come learn about these magnificent species, why they are essential, and how we can live with them.
