Help Stop the War on Iran!!!
Kate Gould and FCNL, 13-06-2008 - 11:18
Seems like we have been here before. Shrub's drumbeat for the war on Iran continues and this all smells so familiar. Remember how we got into Iraq?
Take a look at "our" lobbyist in Washington D.C. and the great work that Kate Gould and FCNL are doing to stop this next war. FCNL is the Friends Committee on National Legislation. Kate is from the Rogue Valley and is working full time to stop this next war. Let us all help Kate with this important work...

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!

"My Spring Break with Utah Phillips"
Matt Mankins, 29-05-2008 - 09:30
"They fight with money and we resist with time, and they're going to run out of money before we run out of time."-U. Utah Phillips
Utah Phillips passed away on Friday, May 23, 2008. He died quietly in his sleep.
Three years before Southern Oregonians Matt Mankins and Eric Robinson travelled to Nevada City, CA to see Utah Phillips. Eric is a nephew of Utah's and Matt wanted to meet him. This story is about their journey and their visit with the folk singing legend. Matt Mankins penned this account which was first published in "The Soapbox" (spring 2005) the underground rag produced by the Media Collective at Southern Oregon University. We are glad to share Matt's words with you now.-Rogue IMC volunteer...

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...

Jackson County votes for Censorship & Ignorance
INDEPENDENT MEDIA WEEK - 2008, 06-04-2008 - 11:07
Jackson County (located in Southern Oregon on the California border and I-5 corridor) gained new distinction in April, 2008 when elected officials decided NOT to support a proclamation for "Independent Media Week - 2008". By a vote of 2 to 1 Jackson County Commissioners were succinct with their 2007 decision to embrace censorship. Last year the entire Jackson County Library System was shut down for 6 months with officials citing a "lack of funds" as the reason. The library system later opened with greatly reduced hours and services, but only after privatizing the entire operation.

April 5, 2008
Medford, Oregon
Thanks to the 45 to 50 folks who turned out on another gray, rainy, cool day to participate in the "In Memoriam: 4,000 US Soldiers Dead in Iraq" event. While it wasn't a big crowd, it was an enthusiastic one. The mall security made us abandon our plans to have our program before the march in the little parking lot, so we moved out to the sidewalk and it was fine.

"LSSI Must Recognize Union"
Brain Labor Report radio show today, 2/15/08
http://www.kskq.org/brainlabor/?p=228
Today's show was one of the most fun ever! We highlighted the LSSI privatization of the Jackson County Library System and the newest development in this Orwellian saga. Enter the implication of the Successorship Doctrine. This is the federal law which mandates that union busting can not be done. Today's show had guest interviews with Buck Eichler who is President of the SEIU represented Jackson County Employees Association and with Pauline Black who is employed by LSSI as a Clerk at the Ashland, Oregon library. Because of the Successorship Doctrine Pauline Black will have a voice at work with union representation, again. And that stands for workers at ALL 15 libraries of the Jackson County Library System which are now being run by private corporation LSSI.

Oregon's Jackson County Library System employees get to have a voice at work. In a HUGE victory for working people Jackson County Library employees will be union. With SEIU Local #503 library workers have a voice at work, again. The right of association, that most important universal human right, has been declared the law in Southern Oregon. LSSI, the private corporation that stole our public library system has broken the law and now must make serious corrections.
Listen to the 2/15/08 edition of the Brain Labor Report radio show to learn more. This show has guest interviews with Buck Eichler who is the President of the SEIU represented Jackson County employees and with Pauline Black who is employed by LSSI as a Clerk at the Ashland, Oregon Library.
