Senate Joint Resolution 201, introduced by Senator Jeff Kruse, R-Roseburg, is a proposed amendment to the Oregon Constitution which would restructure how the Oregon State Board of Education is chosen and of what its membership would consist.

Families Living Paycheck-to-Paycheck Need to Know the EITC Will Be There

If anyone needs certainty to plan for the future, it is those families who live paycheck-to-paycheck.

(SILVERTON, Ore.) - Last-minute decisions often do not yield good public policy. Congress has demonstrated this repeatedly. Consider last summer's raise-the-debt-ceiling circus.

Or more recently, the midnight-hour deal to extend the payroll tax cut only for a couple of months.

Jewish Imperial News

On Saturday the Islamophobic blog Harry’s Place and the Zionist mouthpiece Jewish Chronicle completed their takeover of UK Palestinian Solidarity Campaign (PSC).

(LONDON) - This last weekend brought with it some vile manifestations of Jewish politics in its most horrific forms.

In the USA, the owner and publisher of the Atlanta Jewish Times, Andrew Adler, suggested that Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu should consider ordering a Mossad hit team to assassinate U.S. President Barack Obama so that his successor will defend Israel against Iran.

Mother Russia Ignores its Own:
Artist and Sculptor Faces Homeless Winter in Moscow

What Fresh Hell is This? - Dorothy Parker

(SALEM) - We know that people in third-world countries like Palestine live under the constant threat of having their homes destroyed by demolition crews, but did you know this is also taking place in Russia? Elena Odnovarchenko has discovered how it feels to have no say over your personal destiny.

An artist and sculptor, she lost everything- her life's work, when bulldozers destroyed her former home.

Can Foreign Gangsters Bulldoze YOUR Family Home Without Warning.. and Get Away With It?

And then do the same to all your neighbours?

(LONDON) - There can be few things more despicable than robbing a family of their home then destroying it in front of their eyes. But this is Israeli policy.

ICAHD (the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions) took me to see Beit Arabiya, the much demolished and rebuilt Bedouin home, nearly six years ago.

Nuclear Power is Clean -- as Long as you Ignore `Safety`!

Every American nuclear power plant could be closed down if Americans turned off extra lights and became energy efficient.

(CARLSBAD, Calif.) - In the U.S., radiation-related "safety" decisions over commercial nuclear power plants are handled very undemocratically.

They are considered to be strictly the purview of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Courts, utility and state energy commissions, EPA, DOE, and everyone else whose regulatory authority touches on nuclear power will insist that you cannot talk to them about "safety." You must go to the NRC.

NDAA... So! It Has Come to This?

Are we expected to accept this state of affairs and say "Oh, well"?

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - Apparently now, instead of Liberty and Justice for all, we are being assigned "one empire, under surveillance, with deceit and oppression for all."

As if the so-called PATRIOT Act was not bad enough, we have been assaulted on New Year's Eve within the semi-routine National Defense Appropriations Act (NDAA) with a provision that potentially subjects us all effectively to be given "enemy combatant" status.

(SACRAMENTO ) - On January 13th the Atlanta Jewish Times featured a column by its owner-publisher suggesting that Israel might someday need to “order a hit” on the president of the United States.

In the column, publisher Andrew Adler describes a scenario in which Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu would need to “give the go-ahead for U.S. based Mossad agents to take out a president deemed unfriendly to Israel.”

On Its First Anniversary: Egypt Revolution Continues

“The revolutionary public opinion and demands that were created in Tahrir square needed to be politically purused by revolutionary cadres and leadership.”

(ALEXANDRIA, Egypt) - "Mubarak is neither a tyrant nor a bloodthirsty man...

"He is a clean man, who could say no wrong. Mubarak has seriously and faithfully worked to the best of his abilities and energy for Egypt and its people and lived a life burdened by his nation’s problems” Said Fareed El-Deeb, Mubarak’s lawyer at a hearing just days prior to the first anniversary of the Egyptian revolution...”
