WELL, HOLD YOUR PROVERBIAL HAT BECAUSE H.R.1388 PASSED AND THAT BILL SAYS THAT THIS GOVT WILL BE IMPORTING MULIMS AND RELOCATING THEM IN THIS COUNTRY AND FEEDING AND CLOTHING AND GIVING THEM SHELTER WITH TAXPAYER MONEY.. THESE MEN AND WOMEN ARE HAMAS SYMPATHYSERS. WHY IN THE HELL ARE WE IMPORTING THESE BASTARDS INTO THIS COUNTRY???? WHY, THEY DON'T BELONG HERE!!!!! ALSO WHERE WAS THE MEDIA ATTENTION TO THIS EPISODE OF GARBAGE. THE GOOD OLD SCREWED UP MEDIA. iNSTEAD OF PUTTING WHO GOT SHOT IN SOME STUPID CITY 3 STATES AWAY, AND ALL THE OTHER "WORTHLESS" INFO THEY PUT ON TV, WHY NOT PUT THE FACT THAT THIS GOVT DOESN'T CARE ABOUT ITS CITIZENS AND ONLY CARES ABOUT DESTROYING THIS COUNTRY. wHY NOT PUBLISH THE LIES TOLD AND THE MONEY IN BACK TAXES OWED. THIS IS NONSENSE BRUCE

Hi Bruce,
It's time to do something about these pundits that are making decisions for us that we don't want. Start by contacting your local media, write letters to the editor and let them know how you feel and why. Also, if you want to get more involved, let me know. I will be glad to invite you to have coffee with me and strategize on getting active and taking this country back. Let me know...I'll be glad to help in any way I can.

It's good to know who voted for this bill we must keep a list and every opportunity we have is give them their early waliking papers. Since they voted a $472 million in new taxes on higher income earners $125,000 or more ...I wonder did they include themselves into this mix? or did they follow Turbo Tax Geither's formula?.... I forgot!

Hi Dominick,

Glad to see you read this. It's pretty darn disgusting to think that our Legislators are just sitting back and spending our money. They were put into office to offer solutions and figure out ways to handle issues such as this...not to spend, spend, spend. We need people like you that are not afraid to voice your opinion. One person can make a difference.

If you would like to have your voice heard, again, I encourage you to write letters to your State Reps and Senators; let them know that you do not support their ideas of tax and spend. Write to the "Letters to the Editor" of the Oregonian and Willamette Week and the Statesman Journal and tell them who you are and why you are writing. Bring attention to what is occurring within our State. Many people are not aware of what is happening and think they cannot change it. YES WE CAN. Together, we can change the direction of this country. We have to start somewhere. Let me know if you would like to meet and discuss organizing a group in our District. The more people we get involved, the stronger we are.

Thanks for your comments, Dominick. Hope to hear from you.

Laura Bell, District 3 Coordinator
