Oregon State Job-Killing TaxesGov. Kulongoski has signed $733 million dollar permanent personal and corporate tax increases into law – the biggest tax increase in Oregon history. Small businesses would be forced to lay off their workers, reduce wages and benefits or close their doors if voters approve the legislature’s permanent tax increases. Economists have estimated these permanent tax increases will cost 79,000 Oregonians their jobs. This proposal taxes the very people who create jobs in Oregon. Permanent tax increases will close businesses and take even more jobs out of our state. In the midst of the worst economic crisis in more than 70 years, the legislature voted to permanently increase income taxes on businesses and high-income Oregonians. Despite Oregon’s 12.2% unemployment rate, the legislature voted to raise taxes and fees by nearly $2 billion. Businesses would be taxed up to $100,000 per year – even if they didn’t make a profit. Income taxes for individuals earning over $125,000 would increase 20%, giving Oregon the second highest income tax rate in the nation – higher than both New York and California. The proposed tax increases would be retroactive to Jan. 1, 2009, and no money to cover this tax increase has been withheld from Oregonians’ paychecks during all of 2009. Businesses and organizations across the State are now working to gather the 55,000 signatures needed to place the job-killing tax increases on the ballot for a January 26, 2010 citizens vote. These signatures need to be gathered by Friday, Sept. 25th. (Article taken from the Oregon State Chamber of Commerce)

Back to Basics Budget Makes Sense for Oregon and Does Not Raise TaxesThe following is from Senator Jason A. Atkinson’s June Newsletter. Senate Republicans released their own budget proposal, the Back to Basics Budget. The Back to Basics budget fully funds education, humane services, and public safety, and leaves a significant amount left in state reserves, and allows for legislative add-backs after the three most essential functions of government are funded. It does all of this without raising taxes on Oregon families. For more information, go to www.backtobasicsbudget.com. There, you can find the Republican recommended budget, along with the Top Ten Truths about the Oregon Budget.

Signature:_______________________________ Date:_______ Approved by Herbert Carter, Chairman JCRCC Signature:_______________________________ Date:________ ************************************************************************** Getting Involved…PCPTop 10 Duties of a Precinct Committee Person (PCP) “Elections are won or lost in the precincts.” 1) PCPs serve for two years as a Republican Party representative in their own neighborhood. State law specifies in ORS 248.015 (6) The term of office of a precinct committee person is from the 24th day after the date of the primary election until the 24th day after the date of the next following primary election. There are two PCP positions (one man & one woman) for every 500 voters registered in your precinct. 2) PCPs support all Republican candidates after the Primary Election. You are the eyes, ears and legs for candidates in your precinct. You play a critical role in selecting and electing Republican candidates for a wide range of positions from the local school board to US Congress. You’ll be asked to volunteer on various campaigns in your area. 3) PCPs are the “grassroots base” of the Republican Party. You are the liaison to the County Party organization. This is a year-round commitment, which entails certain responsibilities; the most important is to keep in touch with your Republican neighbors. Recruit and train volunteers whenever possible. Maintain and update database of the Republican voters in your precinct with phone numbers and emails when possible. 4) PCPs canvass their precinct going door-to-door passing out literature for candidates and the Party, as well as talking to voters. Walking lists can be obtained from your County Party or the local county elections department. 5) PCPs register voters. This can be done at events or just handing out voter registration cards in your neighborhood. 6) PCPs identify voters. Lots of voters consider themselves Republicans but are not registered with the Party. Phone calls are personal contacts are good ways to identify which issues are hot buttons for them and whether they are likely to vote Republican. This information can be put in a database and used later for special mailings and other projects. 7) PCPs help Get-Out-The-Vote. Without votes even the best Republican candidates can’t win. Making sure voters turn in their ballots by Election Day is the most crucial job you have as a PCP. GOTV drives include phone banks and door-belling. These efforts are especially urgent in the final days before the ballots are due. 8) PCPs participate in fundraising activities. They are often asked to volunteer at events sponsored by the local or state parties. Money is the mother’s milk of politics. 9) PCPs attend meetings of the county Republican central committee. You need to attend the county party’s reorganization meeting (usually held in November of even-numbered years) to elect party leadership. Other county meetings are also held throughout the year to formulate policy and develop strategies. 10) PCPs need to be flexible. There is no magic formula for success; use your best judgement to inform voters and get them to cast a favorable ballot for Republicans. “You don’t win elections on Election Day. You win them by what you do all year around, by the day-to-day goodwill you generate in each precinct.” Jake Avery, Chicago political boss **************************************************************** Becoming a PCP in your area is easy, phone Bill Ertel at 218-6538 or fill out and send us the PDF form below.
