Where We Stand After The Election

The election of 2012 is behind us.  It’s safe to say that especially on a national level, things
could not look worse for gun owners or anyone who believes in liberty, responsibility or the sanctity of the individual.

Gun bans are coming locally and Federally. We are facing likely international “treaties” that will
cripple civilian gun ownership while doing nothing to stop Obama from shipping firearms to Mexican drug dealers. Gun grabbers now control both Houses of the Oregon Legislature.

Guess it’s time to go to work.

FEC---Advisory Opinion Request 2012-38, Socialist Workers Party

Dear Editor,

 WHY DID THE CHARTER  BALLOT MEASURE 6-143 NOT PASS? 

Was it because it  requires open advertised bids, and opening bids publicly, on county projects so
  anyone qualified can bid? 

Because it requires  the maintenance of our buildings and equipment?(Think Beaver Hill incinerators. ) 

Because it requires  the Board of Commissioners ( BOC ) to inform citizens on issues and
allow  citizens time to comment at public meetings? 

Because it requires  the BOC to keep citizens informed of the Board's transactions by citizens  voting on all large financial actions; selling and buying of assets and land;  the giving away of public monies/assets? 

Because it legally  requires the commissioners obey their oath of office? 
 
Because it requires  citizens vote when a commissioner seat needs to be filled? 

Because it requires  citizens’ property and individual rights be protected as under both the US  Constitution/ Bill of Rights and the Oregon Constitution/ Bill of  Rights? 

Because it requires  citizens decide, by voting, if they want their monies used for specific Urban  Renewal/Enterprise projects? 

Because it requires  'planning' with sales/purchasing of county property by giving guidelines for  bulk selling and buying of every day items? 

Because it requires  major indebtedness be approved by the people?( Note: ten $100,000 expenditures turn  quickly into a million $) 

Because it recognizes many people in this county have a wealth of information and the BOC should allow them time to speak at meetings? 

Because many newspapers, present commissioners, past commissioners and 'important' people, (who had either never read the Charter or had conflicts with their personal interests) stated untrue generalities, not specifics, and thereby condemned it? 

Because the BOC, in  my opinion, committed malfeasance of office and voter fraud by not providing the  citizens of Coos County with the text of both 6-143 and 6-144?With 6-143 only the District Attorney's  brief (accurate )
ballot title was presented to the citizens. With 6-144 the  authors ( Messerle, Parry, counsel Soper ) presented only a ballot title which  was totally inadequate to telling the truthful details. ARRRG was early led to  believe the
text would be in the voter pamphlet, however, the BOC did not  contract with the state to do so, nor did the county publish one of it's  own. 

I personally thank  6,520 people who saw through the opposition’s smoke and mirrors and voted for  'Voice of the Voters' Coos County 2012 Charter measure 6-143.

Keep Out Of My Computer!

There is a vote scheduled in the Senate for later this week  concerning our digital privacy.

Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy has been back and forth on  the revision of a 1980's security bill and it is unknown what he may bring to  the table when it is ready for voting. First he submitted a proposal saying a  search warrant was required for agencies to access private email, twitter,  Facebook, and Google accounts.

  Then with pressure  from law enforcement such as the National Sheriff's Association he changed his  proposal saying a search warrant would not be required to access these private  accounts. After extreme criticism from the general public Leahy made a  statement saying he would not support warrantless access to private EMAIL.

 Although he and his committee have addressed that they will  not support warrantless email access. They have not mentioned whether or not  they will still support warrantless access of Twitter, Facebook, and Google  accounts.

 SELECT HERE TO FAX THE  SENATE, TELL THEM TO PROTECT OUR RIGHT  TO PRIVACY AND KNOCK DOWN THIS BILL!

Feckless or Hypocritical

The World editorial of 11/14/12, “Rethink the ban on earmarks,” is a perfect example of how editorial staff picks & chooses it’s viewpoint to suit it’s agenda.

In its editorial of 11/14/12, The World bemoans the “power shift”from elected politicians to professional bureaucrats (a viewpoint I happen to agree with), yet where was this concern when the “gang of two” (unelected commissioners), proposed a County Administrator (professional bureaucrat) and part-time commissioners. 

Doesn’t take a genius to realize the administrator could follow his own agenda and part-time commissioners wouldn’t have a clue.

We all know where the editorial staff was, banging the drum in support of the administrator proposal.  I ask again, is the editorial staff  feckless or  hypocrites. 

You decide.

Lawsuit expands to lock-up 90 million bd-ft of timber     
       November 21, 2012     
by Rex Storm, Forest Policy Manager
Associated Oregon Loggers

 BLM Timber Lawsuit Impacts:  Previously reported environmental lawsuits attempting to stop Bureau of Land Management timber sales in Southern Oregon now appear to impact an even larger timber volume. 
Environmental plaintiffs filed suit in US District Court to stop up to 25 BLM timber sales, and over 90 million board feet of timber harvest.  For every million board feet of timber harvested, 38 jobs/year are generated in Oregon’s economy.  If the lawsuits are not overturned, some 1,100 Oregonians would be threatened with under-employment during a three-year period.


Oregon Forest Sector Report:  A new 200-page report, The 2012 Forest Report – An Economic Assessment of Oregon’s Forest & Wood Products Manufacturing Sector, affirms that the sector is poised to grow creating thousands of new rural jobs—given improved markets and needed reforms to increase the public timber supply.  The report is published by Oregon Forest Resources Institute, which was created by Oregon’s Legislature to provide reliable public forestry information, and is funded by a portion of the timber harvest tax.  More information at: www.TheForestReport.org


Governor’s O& C Forest Panel:  In October, Governor Kitzhaber appointed a 14-member panel to develop a proposal that aims to legally authorize increased timber sale from half the Bureau of Land Management O&C forestland acreage, while generating sufficient timber sale receipts to replace lost county government timber revenues.  Beginning with a draft bill built by Oregon congressman DeFazio, Schrader and Walden, the panel
must deliver its recommendation to the Governor and Congress by early next year.

 Sign Petition Here

 Obama is playing a dangerous game of pitting Americans against each other with the dividing line in his “us” vs. “them” game being $250,000. Those making over $250K per year will see their federal tax rate increase between 3% and 4.6% with the top tax rate going up to 39.6%, effectively increasing the amount of taxes they pay by 13%. But, Obama doesn't think this is enough and believes that these individuals need to pay more in order to pay their “their fair share”.

In addition, if Obama is not successful in strong arming Republicans to give in to his class warfare demands, then those individuals making less than $8700 per year will see their tax rates increase from 10% to 15%. That’s an increase of 50%! In this terrible economy filled with rising costs, decreased jobs, and massive economic uncertainty, both of these scenarios are a lose/lose situation.

 Sign Petition Here

 When is enough, enough??? Speaker John Boehner has already shown us that he is not willing to stand up to Obama in his second term by saying that ObamaCare,  another taxation nightmare, is the law of the land. He has also indicated that he is willing to “compromise” on raising more tax revenue, which is just cover
for saying ‘raise taxes’. If our leaders in D.C. won’t stand up for us, then we must stand up for ourselves.

 Sign this petition to send a message to President Obama, Speaker Boehner, and all the bureaucrats in D.C. that enough is enough. No higher taxes! No new taxes!

DATE:November 7, 2012
RE:Examples of Economic Hardship Due to ESA Critical Habitat – by Tuesday, November 13th 
  
 
PLC and NCBA are looking for examples of economic and regulatory hardship to members brought on by the designation of critical habitat under the ESA. In light of the recent unprecedented ESA settlement between U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and radical environmental groups, the federal government will be forced to make 1,201 decisions on proposed listing, listing and critical habitat designations for 1,053 species in the next 7 years. The USFWS’ FY 2013 budget request includes an increase in funding that could result in 88 more species being listed and critical habitat being designated in just this year alone. As USFWS struggles to meet the settlement deadline, little analysis—including economic impacts—is being done on large bundled decisions. For example, in Hawaii, cattlemen are currently being faced with at least five critical habitat designations that will directly impact them, and they are looking for specific examples to make the argument that the designations will have negative impacts on them (if they don’t come up with specific predictions of negative impacts, the agency won’t count any).

Furthermore, the agency has begun using broader strokes in designating critical habitat, defining “occupied” areas as areas that are used only intermittently by the species, or in some cases proposing CH in areas where the species is not even known to exist (such as with the jaguar of Arizona and New Mexico).

All the while, USFWS commonly underestimates the economic impacts of critical habitat designations. We have
insisted that all economic impacts be considered, using sound economic data, so as to allow for the exclusion of certain areas from CH designations.  Gathering your examples of economic/regulatory hardships due to Critical Habitat will help us argue against sweeping CH designations in the aforementioned Hawaii case and in inevitable future cases. Examples could include not just financial impacts, but negative impacts such as additional compliance time, cost and paperwork for every-day practices.

Thank you in advance for taking a few moments to supply us with the backing we need to fight this damaging and misguided overreach. We’d appreciate your response by Tuesday, November 13th.
