Your support is needed now! Come to a mass rally and march for immigrant rights at the Oregon Capitol building on International Worker’s Day, May 1.

With over 20 anti-immigrant bills pending in the legislature and Congress preparing to debate immigration reform, we need to stand up now and defend immigrants’ access to a driver’s license and demand just, Comprehensive Immigration Reform.

Contact aeryca@causaoregon.org if you are able to lobby your state legislators following the rally.

Can’t come to Salem on May 1?
Call your Oregon state legislators at 1-800-332-2313 and tell them to keep our roads safe by supporting immigrants’ access to driver’s licenses.
Call your U.S. Senators and Representative and tell them to support just, Comprehensive Immigration Reform (in Oregon call Senator Smith at 202-224-3753 and Senator Wyden at 202-224-5244)

What's really going on:
CAUSA, illegal alien invaders and their anti-American leftist supporters, are going to march on the Oregon State Capital in Salem, Oregon on May 1, 2007.

The illegal alien's intent is to try to undermine any and all immigration legislation currently moving forward in the 2007 Oregon State Legislature.
__________________________________________________________
What we need to do:
It would seem to me that the smart thing to do is to go to OUR Oregon State Capital in numbers, at the same time as the criminals and peacefully acknowledge that we are aware of what is really going on and to let our side be heard.

That's:
When: May 01, 2007 from 11:00 am to 02:00 pm
Where: Oregon State Capitol, 900 Court St NE, Salem, OR.

Sleepy Ted just doesn't 'get it'!

Let's establish one undisputable fact. Food Stamps are by design supposed to HELP (subsidize) with food purchases, not be the sole source of food.

What ol’ Sleepy Ted isn’t taking into consideration is this; While it is difficult to buy food for a week for 1 person on $21.00 a week, it’s easier to pool your resources and buy for 2. Add a few rug rats and all of the sudden you have as much money as most conscientious shoppers spend on groceries. Throw in a few coupons and boom, you’re eating just fine.

Living on food stamps isn’t supposed to be easy or the sole source of your food. If you’re an out of work Software Engineer and can’t find a job in that field, 7/11 and Burger King are hiring. $10.00 an hour + benefits. Put a few dollars in with the food stamps instead of in the crack pipe and you’ll eat well. I know it pisses you off because your ‘hard earned’ cash should go for drugs or booze, but that’s the breaks.

What you can’t buy are the expensive ready to heat and eat Kashi / Lean Cuisine / Stouffers. You actually have to prepare meals instead of sitting in front of the tube feeding your face.

If they raise the amount per person, you’d have to buy fewer cans of coffee to take back and get cash, to buy beer. That would be more convenient I suppose.
