Congressman Eric Canter wants to offset Disaster Relief costs with Budget Cuts. Worse he has the gall to say so following tornadoes and hurricanes that caused multiple deaths while taking a government pay check and wearing a $2000 suite! Congressman Southerland of Florida claims it’s a burden to serve in Congress and he’s not being fairly compensated for his suffering: long hours, time away from family (being in Washington for 2 out of every 3 weeks and only getting the month of August at home to make up for it) and the treat to his life that come with the $174,000 a year – it could be worse, he could be going through all that in a war zone for 1/4th of that pay check.

Styrofoam is estimated to take decades to centuries to degrade as it sits in our landfills. It leeches out toxic chemicals, potentially into our food, and certainly into the environment. And yet, it is the most popular take out container in a majority of restaurants. We can change this by urging restaurants to go the way of progressive cities like Denver - ditch the styrofoam, upgrade to a more eco-friendly to-go container!

The State of Oregon needs to establish a State Bank similar to the one in North Dakota. We need such a bank so that millions of dollars of tax money is no longer kept in private banks (such as Well Fargo and Bank of America) which earn millions of dollars in interest. Such a bill was introduced and voted upon in the Oregon legislature but the bill did not come to a vote or was not passed, I don't recall which.

Regarding President Obama's failure to live up to his oath of office and misuse of executive powers.

Why should someone who has no health insurance be billed at retail rates that are two, three or more times higher that Insurance companies or Medicare pay these providers. It is my belief that the reason that Insurance has become so essential is that it is the only way that individual can protect themselves from being gouged by medical providers.

Rep Darrell Issa (R-CA) is attempting to introduce legislation which would dismantle the Postal Service and the collective bargaining agreement between labor & management. He states that the Postal Service is "bleeding money". Far from being a burden on the taxpayer, the USPS has, according to reports by the Inspector General and outside auditors, been overcharged by $50-75 BILLION for its employees pensions, thus subsidizing the Federal Treasury. In addition, in 2006, Congress and President Bush imposed an additional $5.5 billion annual tax on the USPS. The tax was supposedly to finance the health benefits of potential future postal retirees. The Postal Service is the ONLY organization, public-private-or government, required to make such a payment.
