Oregon driver card bill headed to the November 2014 ballot

Note: Jeff Kropf was extremely unhappy with the highlighted sentence below. The numbers of verifiable signatures were higher than shown in this report. He asks supporters of the initiative to read the article and comment if they believe the reporting was biased.

Voters will weigh in next year on a bill granting “driver’s cards” to Oregonians unable to prove they are in the U.S. legally. ✧ The Oregon Legislature passed Senate Bill 833 earlier this year, but opponents, led by Oregonians for Immigration Reform [OFIR] and Protect Oregon Driver Licenses [PODL], vowed to refer it to the ballot, hoping voters would overturn the law. ✧ Earlier this month the groups submitted nearly 71,000 signatures to refer the measure to voters and Friday morning Secretary of State Kate Brown announced on Twitter that the referral qualified for the ballot. ✧ The measure barely qualified for the ballot. Of the 70,973 unverified signatures submitted to the Secretary of State’s office, 58,291 were validated. Supporters of the referral needed 58,142 valid signatures to qualify. Read more at OregonLive... Read More......

Sign the Right-To-Work Petition

Dear Concerned American,
They snickered when I said I came to the U.S. Senate to change Congress. ✧ But their laughter stopped when I sponsored the National Right to Work Act to free U.S. workers from forced unionization and break Big Labor's multi-billion dollar political machine forever. ✧ President Barack Obama and Big Labor allies in the Senate are now feverishly scheming to bury the National Right to Work Act without a vote. ✧ So I have a question for you. ✧ Will you be the sledgehammer? Sign the petition now! --Rand Paul

Avoid the Gerrymander, sign the petition (#50 Redistricting)

Printed in 1812, this political cartoon illustrates the electoral districts drawn by the Massachusetts legislature to favor the incumbent Democratic-Republican party candidates of Governor Elbridge Gerry over the Federalists. The cartoon depicts the bizarre shape of a district in Essex County, Massachusetts as a dragon. The painter, Gilbert Stuart, likened it to a salamander, and the editor, Benjamin Russel, advised "Better say a Gerrymander." The name stuck.

AFP Action Alert! NoStimulus.com Challenge!

Note: Jeff Kropf, State Director of the Oregon Chapter of Americans for Prosperity, radio talk-show host and former state representative, addressed the Benton County Republican Central Committee tonight and spoke on the value of common sense, principles and character. The stimulus package lacks all three of these values. He asked that we all sign this petition and urge friends and family to do the same.

RE: www.NoStimulus.com

With the pork-packed stimulus bill poised for a vote in the U.S. Senate, your voice in stopping it is more important then ever. Please visit www.NoStimulus.com right away and sign the petition against this legislation. Already, more than 50,000 Americans have done so.

After you've signed the petition, please pass the message along to three of your friends! The stimulus bill is vulnerable to the kind of grassroots pressure AFP can provide. Use the NoStimulus website to send a message to Oregon's U.S. Senators that the bill is not right for our state.

Of the first 11,000 people to sign the NoStimulus petition, more than 10 percent were Oregonians. Join them!

The Democrat-controlled Congressional Budget Office said today that doing nothing will be better for the economy then passing this bill. Don't sit on the sidelines and let history run over you!!

Please visit www.NoStimulus.com right now, sign the petition and invite three friends to join you in taking a stand for economic freedom!
