Congress Needs to Extend Emergency Unemployment Insurance - Now
Chuck Sheketoff--Oregon Center for Public Policy, 31-12-2012 - 04:12
THIS IS A STORY FOR ALL OREGON -- Here in Southern Oregon ordinary working people and their families are suffering—rogue valley independent media center volunteer
"CONGRESS NEEDS TO EXTEND EMERGENCY UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE - NOW"—by Chuck Sheketoff
Tens of thousands of unemployed Oregonians need Congress to act now to extend Emergency Unemployment Insurance.
Emergency unemployment compensation is helping 29,240 Oregonians who, despite looking for over 26 weeks, have not been hired. That is about the number (29,600) of Oregonians OCPP estimates will abruptly lose benefits on December 29 if Congress does not act to extend the program, reducing the number receiving unemployment compensation support of any kind by a third.
The disappearance of this safety net, however, will have an even wider impact. Also affected will be those who will exhaust their 26 weeks of state benefits after December 29. OCPP estimates that about 12,100 Oregon workers will be in this situation during just the first three months of 2013

Undignified Corporate Takeover ➡ Ashland Community Hospital
S T O P * D I G N I T Y * H E A L T H, 19-10-2012 - 20:55
Here is the latest on the "Corporate Takeover" in (so-called) progressive Ashland, Oregon!
Following you will find a well written update on how things stand regarding the current takeover of our community hospital. Our city council is run by the chamber of commerce and they line up time and time again to do the bidding for the 1%. The privatization of what we locally have owned continues and it hurts to see this happening not just here, but everywhere.

BUILDING BRIDGES RADIO, MIMI ROSENBERG & KEN NASH, 02-09-2012 - 19:14
No, say it ain’t so – can it really be that the Democratic National Convention(DNC) had the chutzpa to convene, of all days, on Labor Day, in a nonunion convention hall, in a right to work state?
