OREGON'S UNEMPLOYED DESERVE A BREAK
Holding an incredibly powerful position to exploit unemployed Oregonians US Bank has spent big bucks to defeat measures 66 and 67 in the current January 26, 2010 election.
US Bank is the largest bank in Oregon. It is also the issuer of the ReliaCard, a "prepaid Visa" card through which out-of-work Oregonians receive their unemployment benefits. As a result, hundreds of thousands of US Bank's unemployed customers would get a tax cut if Oregonians vote YES for tax fairness. However, US Bank is opposing these efforts. It is simple - if the big banks win, out of work Oregonians will lose.

MORE TAX FAIRNESS OREGON and MEASURES 66 & 67
The January 26th election is fast approaching, we are in the home stretch.
Oregon's unemployed deserve a break.
However, few voters currently know that if the tax fairness ballot measures are approved, over 270,000 unemployed Oregonians will get a tax cut.
Under the new law, the first $2,400 in benefits for the unemployed will be exempt from state taxation in 2009. At the same time, a vote for tax fairness will maintain critical services that these citizens need more than ever by ensuring that thousands of teachers, nurses, and police officers will be able to keep working hard for Oregon.
Unfortunately, US Bank is not on their side.
