PERSONAL & PROPAGANDA:
I awoke this morning at 6:15am, and after 8+ hours of sleep I awoke to a 3-. I have missed a few posts, because; I think I'm just lazy. Judi and I met Mike and Parvin for dinner last night at Kell's and it was really nice and I think Parvin is a really interesting Lady and she does put a twinkle in brother Mike's eyes that I haven't seen for a long time. Judi did email me the photograph of the brothers and cousins at the convention and I did forward it to Betsy to see if she could get it in the Montana Standard, and I did manage to get it posted on the front page of my blog. I did talk to her and Larry but Larry said he had no luck elk hunting and said If I really want some elk sausage I need to talk to his brother Tom, because he did get his. ;-p She also corrected me and told me her daughter Amy was activated, Army Reserve and heading to Kuwait in July; so please keep her in your thoughts and continue that “soldiers prayer”. It appears we are in for some good weather for the next few day's and I should be able to get some picketing in at the local B. of A. for a few hours. Judi, did take my CD of the P.I.P.E. Program to see if Dean see's fit to play it. The DOW yoyo continues today with the DOW up over 375 point's at 10:15am. The “WALL STREET, BANKSTERS demonstrations continue and, I still believe that the credit Unions should get together and have a “C.U.M.O.” Credit Unions are Member Owned, gathering around the City. and the city should BILL the Banks for the Cities clean up costs, with some sort of “Business License fee” to pay for the clean up; and I did send this suggestion to Mayor Adams. SHOCK OF ALL SHOCKS, Commissioner Fritz was supporting the “occupiers” right to protest, so far anyway, it's alright here but apparently not in Ireland. I did hear that Commissioner Fritz voted against the “jobs” Columbia River Crossing project.
My flier for the local branches of Wells Fargo, Chase and Citibank, have been very popular at the union, and the AFL-CIO rally downtown, and maybe this week I will have a good day for me to picket, I hope.
KAISER – M.S. REPORT:
MY B.P. TODAY IS 124/68/72 AT 2:15pm.
WHY IS IT WHEN YOU ARE DIAGNOSED WITH M.S. PEOPLE BELIEVE YOU HAVE NO MEMORY, AND CAN'T HEAR, and now that I have my mineral supplements; I feel better already.
I will put the prayers I have been posting again right here up front, and thank you all for Rhyon and Christopher and now cousin Amy.
“Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen.”
Prayer to St. Jude for Eternal Life
You are my solace, St. Jude, in the face of loss and sorrow. I pray that you will guide my heart away from the darkness of fear and into the light of Christ. May the hope that St. Jude keeps alive in my heart be a source of comfort to all those who grieve. For in that hope, we know God's mercy, and we trust God's promise of eternal life. My soul longs for the fullness of life, which is only to be revealed when I meet my Maker in heaven. Stay by my side, St. Jude, so that my soul will always know the power of your healing love. Amen.
**** My daily prayer, is to Mary Mother of God…..”O Most Blessed Mother, heart of love, heart of mercy, ever listening, caring, consoling, hear our prayer. As your children we implore your intercession with Jesus your Son. Receive with understanding and compassion the petitions we place before you today. For sister Danni, nephew Steve, sister Clare, cousin Mick, uncle Hank, nephew Aaron, Kelly's brother, Brother Bruce Temple; good friend and brother Jeff Lyles and their speedy recoveries, good friends Ron Wyden, Shelly Nelson, Pat O'baby, good family friend Pat Percin, brother Gerry Bruce, sister Donna, the Arnnott, the Goetsche, the Commissioner Leonard, the R.B. Gilcrease and the Brasee families, and those who are having health issues; protecting Christopher, Rhyon and Amy and all in need. We are comforted in knowing your heart is ever open to those who ask for your prayer. We trust to your care and intercession, those whom we love and who are sick or lonely or hurting. Help ALL of us, to bear our burdens in this life until we may share eternal life and peace with God forever, Amen.”

H. R. 3094 – Workplace Democracy and Fairness Act
(Rep. Kline, R–MN, and 37 cosponsors)
The Administration opposes H.R. 3094 because it would undermine and delay workers’ ability to exercise their right to choose whether or not to be represented by a union. H.R. 3094 also attacks the freedom of individuals to choose the co-workers with whom they wish to seek representation.

Congressional benefits: aka. "free" healthcare , outrageous retirement packages , 67 paid holidays , three weeks paid vacation , unlimited paid sick days , now that's welfare , and they have the nerve to call my retirement entitlements. WITH THEM WORKING LESS THAN 9 MONTH'S OUT OF THE YEAR, MAYBE THAT'S WHY NOTHING SEEMS TO BE GETTING DONE?
GOOD LUCK MARTHA SCHRADER ON YOUR RUN FOR THE CLACKAMAS COUNTY COMMISSION. SHE CAN BE HELPED AT www.C-esys.com/marthaschrader/donationaspx !

NEPHEW RHYON IS BACK FROM AFGHANISTAN, AND NEPHEW CHRISTOPHER IS BACK ON BASE IN S. CALIFORNIA, AND HE WILL BE HOME FOR THE CHRISTMAS HOLLIDAY'S; (I did text him Veterans Day, to say THANK YOU; BUT NOW WE HAVE COUSIN AMY PAHUT TO WORRY ABOUT) THE PRESIDENT DID SAY HE WOULD BEGIN DRAWING DOWN TROOPS SOON, AND ANNOUNCED THE WAR IN IRAQ WILL BE OVER BY THE END OF THE YEAR (I think). But a prayer a day from all my readers would still make me feel better.
LETS BRING THE REST HOME, NOW !!
PLEASE SUPPORT THE OREGON MILITARY SUPPORT NETWORK, AND THANK YOU MICHELLE AND GLENN FOR YOUR DEDICATION.
Joining Forces: As part of the Obama Administration's commitment to America's military families, the First Lady and Dr. Jill Biden launched their Joining Forces initiative, which will bring together all sectors of American society to lend a hand to military families, I have seen a few of their adds and they were very well done.
If you are flying the American Flag, please keep flying it until ALL our Troops return home, soon I hope as I am running out of yellow ribbon, and my flag is getting pretty faded.
At the 11th Hour, on the 11th Day, of the 11th Month a cease fire was signed to end the war to end all wars in 1918. How's that worked out so far ?
AOH REPORT:
I have ordered MY issue of the “History of the AOH in America”.
OUR LAST AOH MEETING WAS GREAT, AND WE HAD A GREAT DISCUSSION ON WHICH POLITICAL PARTY IN IRELAND WE MIGHT BELONG TO IF WE WERE RESIDENTS AND VOTERS. WE ALSO FOUND OUT GERALD IS OPENING ANOTHER KELL'S AT 21ST AND EVERETT, BUT I THINK IT WILL JUST BE BREW PUB AND SPORTS BAR.
This is my short report on the “Unite Ireland” issue. I am going to put the “Portland AOH” facebook page in here, and the wikipedia link to “Monahans, Texas”.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monahans,_Texas !
http://www.facebook.com/people/Portland-Oregon-Aoh/100002392556842 !
I still think we need a few OREGONIANS on Father McManus's “Congressional Friends” list. We must never forget the Ballymurphy Massacre of 1971, (40 years searching for justice). We need to realize along with a number of Irish Catholic's, including a priest that were assassinated that day there were also a number of Northern Irish Protestants. This battle for justice that is being waged here in the U.S.A. by father McManus is also being waged in Belfast Northern Ireland by a heroic Belfast protestant named Raymond McCord Sr., whose son was also assassinated. I have received Father McManus's book and it was signed by our New Assistant G.P., and I now have a better understanding of commissioner Fritz's racist Animosity towards the Irish. I did send Father McManus a check to join his efforts and he sent me a thank you and I am now a Congressional friend of Father McManus.
I AM REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING COUSIN DAN AND GETTING MY COPY OF FROM BELMULLET TO ANACONDA ON MONDAY, AND BOBBIE I HAVE A SURPRISE FOR YOU.
SPORTS:
I ALSO THINK maybe we (AOH) can get an “Irish Appreciation Night” fundraiser at Jeld Wen field, and that would go a long way to having the funds for future actions, and they did announce they were increasing the capacity.
FOOTBALL – THE DUCKS ARE IN THE PAC 12 CHAMPIONSHIP, FRIDAY I THINK, AND I DID PICK UP MY SURPRISE FOR COUSIN BOBBIE FOR THIS MONDAY ALSO. GO SEAHAWKS, GO STEELERS, MARTY AND DEAN ARE PROBABLY STILL HAPPY NOW AS THE RAIDERS WON AND ARE IN FIRST PLACE, BUT MARTY MAY BE A LITTLE JEALOUS AS COUSIN JOE WILL BE AT THE GAME TODAY.
GREED IS KEEPING ME FROM HAVING A PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL REPORT, but I did hear that they may restart on Christmas Day.
COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS & CHARITIES:
The American Rights at Work still needs help; now more than ever. We must not take our eye off that MAIN issue, our two Senators haven't; E.F.C.A. And based on what I have been seeing and hearing, the Republicans have Organized Labor directly in their cross hairs at least for the next 2 years.
THE LOCAL 290 “DON SALEE” MEMBER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM; AND YOU CAN EVEN MAKE A DONATION THROUGH THE U.A. CREDIT UNION. THANKS AL, FOR YOUR DONATION AT YOUR FUNDRAISER.
LOCAL UNION REPORT:
IT PAINS ME TO SAY THIS, BUT IT APPEARS A COUPLE OF OUR LONGTIME UNION CONTRACTOR'S ARE OPERATING LIKE THE BIGGER NON UNION CONTRACOR'S, I THINK AFTER THE ACTION TAKEN LAST NIGHT THEY WILL SEE THE ERROR OF THEIR WAYS. STEVE, I AM NOT SURE IF JIM WOULD EVEN RECOGNIZE THE COMPANY HE BUILT.
LET'S SEE 1) YOU HAVE UA WORKERS DOING U.A. WORK !
2) YOU HAVE NON UNION WORKERS DOING U.A. WORK !
3) YOU HAVE RAT CARPENTERS DOING UA WORK !
WHAT IS IT THEY ALL HAVE IN COMMON, THEY WORK FOR HOFFMAN CONSTRUCTION !!!!!
AL SCHROPSHIRE FOR BUSINESS MANAGER. SHORT AND SUCCIENT, NOW LET'S GET TO WORK. You can find out more about him on his face book page at al@vote4al.org !
OTHER STUFF AND COMMUNICATIONS:
THANK YOU AGAIN, FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND THOUGHTS FOR RHYON, CHRISTOPHER AND FOR COUSIN AMY PAHUT.
I did get my new supply of “Business Cards” from Hollywood Impress and I need to remember to start carrying them with me; here is the link for all you Politico's that are in need of a “BUG” on your STUFF. www.himpress.com I have used them for decades and they have ALWAYS met my needs, and I picked up 200“RAT PATROL” buttons, and they are at the Hall.

PLEASE KEEP THE SOLDIERS PRAYER GOING FOR COUSIN AMY PAHUT
PERSONAL & PROPAGANDA:
I awoke this morning at 6:15am, and after 8+ hours of sleep and I awoke to a 3-. I have missed a few posts, I think because after 3 straight day's of turkey dinner I have enough “triptofan” (sp) to sleep for about a week. We went to sister Danni's on Thanksgiving Day, and had a Gluten Free turkey dinner at home Friday; and a left over Turkey Dinner last night. Judi did email me the photograph of the brothers and cousins at the convention and I did forward it to Betsy to see if she could get it in the Montana Standard, and I did manage to get it posted on the front page of my blog. I did have a skype conversation with Betsy, but cousin Larry was already in bed because he was going elk hunting. She also told me her daughter Amy was activated and heading to Kuwait after the first of the year, so please keep her in your thoughts and continue that “soldiers prayer”. It appears we are in for some good weather for the next few day's and I should be able to get some picketing in at the local B. of A. for a few hours. Judi, Shelly and Gary went up to Gloria'z for their “screening” of their advertisement and she did take my CD of the P.I.P.E. Program if Dean see's fit to play it. The “WALL STREET, BANKSTERS demonstrations continue and, I still believe that the credit Unions should get together and have a “C.U.M.O.” Credit Unions are Member Owned, gathering around the City. and the city should BILL the Banks for the Cities clean up costs, with some sort of “Business License fee” to pay for the clean up; and I did send this suggestion to Mayor Adams.

The Administration opposes H.R. 3094 because it would undermine and delay workers’ ability to exercise their right to choose whether or not to be represented by a union. H.R. 3094 also attacks the freedom of individuals to choose the co-workers with whom they wish to seek representation.

PLEASE SUPPORT THE OREGON MILITARY SUPPORT NETWORK, AND THANK YOU MICHELLE AND GLENN FOR YOUR DEDICATION.
Joining Forces: As part of the Obama Administration's commitment to America's military families, the First Lady and Dr. Jill Biden launched their Joining Forces initiative, which will bring together all sectors of American society to lend a hand to military families, I have seen a few of their adds and they were very well done.
If you are flying the American Flag, please keep flying it until ALL our Troops return home, soon I hope as I am running out of yellow ribbon, and my flag is getting pretty faded.
At the 11th Hour, on the 11th Day, of the 11th Month a cease fire was signed to end the war to end all wars in 1918. How's that worked out so far ?
AOH REPORT:
I have ordered MY issue of the “History of the AOH in America”.
OUR LAST AOH MEETING WAS GREAT, AND WE HAD A GREAT DISCUSSION ON WHICH POLITICAL PARTY IN IRELAND WE MIGHT BELONG TO IF WE WERE RESIDENTS AND VOTERS. WE ALSO FOUND OUT GERALD IS OPENING ANOTHER KELL'S AT 21ST AND EVERETT, BUT I THINK IT WILL JUST BE BREW PUB AND SPORTS BAR.
This is my short report on the “Unite Ireland” issue. I am going to put the “Portland AOH” facebook page in here, and the wikipedia link to “Monahans, Texas”.

I still think we need a few OREGONIANS on Father McManus's “Congressional Friends” list. We must never forget the Ballymurphy Massacre of 1971, (40 years searching for justice). We need to realize along with a number of Irish Catholic's, including a priest that were assassinated that day there were also a number of Northern Irish Protestants. This battle for justice that is being waged here in the U.S.A. by father McManus is also being waged in Belfast Northern Ireland by a heroic Belfast protestant named Raymond McCord Sr., whose son was also assassinated. I have received Father McManus's book and it was signed by our New Assistant G.P., and I now have a better understanding of commissioner Fritz's racist Animosity towards the Irish. I did send Father McManus a check to join his efforts and he sent me a thank you and I am now a Congressional friend of Father McManus.
I AM REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING COUSIN DAN AND GETTING MY COPY OF FROM BELMULLET TO ANACONDA NEXT WEEKEND.
SPORTS:
I ALSO THINK maybe we (AOH) can get an “Irish Appreciation Night” fundraiser at Jeld Wen field, and that would go a long way to having the funds for future actions, and they did announce they were increasing the capacity.
FOOTBALL – THE DUCKS WON HANDILY YESTERDAY, AND I DID PICK UP MY SURPRISE FOR COUSIN BOBBIE FOR NEXT WEEKEND ALSO. GO SEAHAWKS, GO STEELERS, MARTY AND DEAN ARE PROBABLY STILL HAPPY NOW AS THE RAIDERS WON AND ARE IN FIRST PLACE, BUT MARTY MAY BE A LITTLE JEALOUS AS COUSIN JOE WILL BE AT THEIR GAME TODAY.
GREED IS KEEPING ME FROM HAVING A PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL REPORT, but I did hear that they may restart on Christmas Day.
COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS & CHARITIES:
The American Rights at Work still needs help; now more than ever. We must not take our eye off that MAIN issue, our two Senators haven't; E.F.C.A. And based on what I have been seeing and hearing, the Republicans have Organized Labor directly in their cross hairs at least for the next 2 years.
THE LOCAL 290 “DON SALEE” MEMBER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM; AND I YOU CAN EVEN MAKE A DONATION THROUGH THE U.A. CREDIT UNION. THANKS AL, FOR YOUR DONATION AT YOUR FUNDRAISER.
LOCAL UNION REPORT:
IT PAINS ME TO SAY THIS, BUT IT APPEARS A COUPLE OF OUR LONGTIME UNION CONTRACTOR'S ARE OPERATING LIKE THE BIGGER NON UNION CONTRACOR'S, I THINK AFTER THE ACTION TAKEN LAST NIGHT THEY WILL SEE THE ERROR OF THEIR WAYS. STEVE, I AM NOT SURE IF JIM WOULD EVEN RECOGNIZE THE COMPANY HE BUILT.
AL SCHROPSHIRE FOR BUSINESS MANAGER. SHORT AND SUCCIENT, NOW LET'S GET TO WORK. You can find out more about him on his face book page at al@vote4al.org !
OTHER STUFF AND COMMUNICATIONS:
THANK YOU AGAIN, FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND THOUGHTS FOR RHYON AND CHRISTOPHER; AND PLEASE KEEP IT UP FOR COUSIN AMY PAHUT.
I did get my new supply of “Business Cards” from Hollywood Impress and I need to remember to start carrying them with me; here is the link for all you Politico's that are in need of a “BUG” on your STUFF. www.himpress.com I have used them for decades and they have ALWAYS met my needs, and I picked up 200 “RAT PATROL” buttons, and they are at the Hall. I am promoting them; not selling for them.
Whether you attend a church service, a Mosque, GLBT gathering, or Synagogue service, please say a prayer that God; yours, mine or ours; keeps our service men and women in the Palm of their hand.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING AND WELCOME BACK RHYON.
PERSONAL & PROPAGANDA:
I awoke this morning at 7:30am, and after 9+ hours of sleep I awoke to a 3-. Niece Stephanie stopped by last night for a smoke and we had a nice visit, and she shared some good news; nephew Rhyon has returned from Afghanistan and is in Hawaii. I also was told yesterday that Kelly's brothers surgery went well. Thank You All for your prayers and good thoughts. We are going over to sister Danni's for Thanksgiving Dinner today and that is only one reason it is a HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Judi is also going to email me the photograph of the brothers and cousins at the convention and I will forward it to Betsy and Patti Ann to see if they can get it in the Montana Standard. It appears we are in for some good weather for the next few day's and I should be able to get some picketing in at the local B. of A. for a few hours. The “WALL STREET, BANKSTERS demonstrations continue and, I still believe that the credit Unions should get together and have a “C.U.M.O.” Credit Unions are Member Owned, gathering around the City. and the city should BILL the Banks for the Cities clean up costs, with some sort of “Business License fee” to pay for the clean up; and I did send this suggestion to Mayor Adams. SHOCK OF ALL SHOCKS, Commissioner Fritz was supporting the “occupiers” right to protest, so far anyway, it's alright here but apparently not in Ireland. I did hear that Commissioner Fritz voted against the “jobs” Columbia River Crossing project, and I missed posting yesterday.
My flier for the local branches of Wells Fargo, Chase and Citibank, have been very popular at the union, and the AFL-CIO rally downtown, and maybe this week I will have a good day for me to picket, I hope.
KAISER – M.S. REPORT:
MY B.P. TODAY IS 147/87/60 AT 12:15pm.
WHY IS IT WHEN YOU ARE DIAGNOSED WITH M.S. PEOPLE BELIEVE YOU HAVE NO MEMORY, AND CAN'T HEAR, and now that I have my mineral supplements; I feel better already.
I will put the prayers I have been posting again right here up front, and thank you all for Rhyon and Christopher.
“Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen.”
Prayer to St. Jude for Eternal Life
You are my solace, St. Jude, in the face of loss and sorrow. I pray that you will guide my heart away from the darkness of fear and into the light of Christ. May the hope that St. Jude keeps alive in my heart be a source of comfort to all those who grieve. For in that hope, we know God's mercy, and we trust God's promise of eternal life. My soul longs for the fullness of life, which is only to be revealed when I meet my Maker in heaven. Stay by my side, St. Jude, so that my soul will always know the power of your healing love. Amen.
**** My daily prayer, is to Mary Mother of God…..”O Most Blessed Mother, heart of love, heart of mercy, ever listening, caring, consoling, hear our prayer. As your children we implore your intercession with Jesus your Son. Receive with understanding and compassion the petitions we place before you today. For sister Danni, nephew Steve, sister Clare, cousin Mick, uncle Hank, nephew Aaron, Kelly's brother, Brother Bruce Temple; good friend and brother Jeff Lyles and their speedy recoveries, good friends Ron Wyden, Shelly Nelson, Pat O'baby, good family friend Pat Percin, brother Gerry Bruce, sister Donna, the Arnnott, the Goetsche, the Commissioner Leonard, the R.B. Gilcrease and the Brasee families, and those who are having health issues; protecting Christopher and Rhyon and all in need. We are comforted in knowing your heart is ever open to those who ask for your prayer. We trust to your care and intercession, those whom we love and who are sick or lonely or hurting. Help ALL of us, to bear our burdens in this life until we may share eternal life and peace with God forever, Amen.”

THE LOCAL 290 “DON SALEE” MEMBER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM; AND I YOU CAN EVEN MAKE A DONATION THROUGH THE U.A. CREDIT UNION. THANKS AL, FOR YOUR DONATION AT YOUR FUNDRAISER.
LOCAL UNION REPORT:
I ABSOLUTELY HAD TO RESPOND ON THE OUR290 FACE BOOK PAGE AS FOLLOWS;
Today, I have a few responses to brother Lyman Warnock's posting. The first thing I have to say is I apologize to Al. I am apologizing to Al, because he asked me not to respond to your assertions. As a strong supporter of The Al Schropsire campaign for Local 290 Business Manager, I respect your different choice for the next Business Manager; but I totally disagree with your logic. You keep stating that the Local Union need's a person with an experienced a business back-round, because the local is a multimillion dollar business. This is my biggest complaint with your logic. My personal experience with Lou, I hope you are aware, has been my personal battle with Kaiser Permanente; and is over their refusal to reimburse me for over charged co-payments. He has directed the Trust Attorney to work with me and Kaiser to fix my issue. And I will say he has been responsive and I have received 2 of the dozens of payment's from Kaiser I believe they owe me. One of the other things that bothered me at the nomination meeting was the reference many times of opinions by the attorney, Steve Buckley, concerning the issue's with Intel. I have known Steve Buckley for many years; he is the collections attorney for the Local. A much needed position for a union; he is a specialist in that field. He is not a Labor Lawyer. Getting Labor Law advice from him, I would liken it to getting piping system advice from a carpenter; after all they are both construction workers. ( no disrespect to my friend Steve). The other major difference, in my opinion, is Al believes this union is a FRATERNAL organization first and foremost; and the first duty of our officers is to take care of their sisters and brothers. I apologize to all the OUR 290 members for going on so long but and, my apologies to Al as he asked me not to respond to these personal attacks.
IT PAINS ME TO SAY THIS, BUT IT APPEARS A COUPLE OF OUR LONGTIME UNION CONTRACTOR'S ARE OPERATING LIKE THE BIGGER NON UNION CONTRACOR'S, I THINK AFTER THE ACTION TAKEN LAST NIGHT THEY WILL SEE THE ERROR OF THEIR WAYS. STEVE, I AM NOT SURE IF JIM WOULD EVEN RECOGNIZE THE COMPANY HE BUILT.

This battle for justice that is being waged here in the U.S.A. by father McManus is also being waged in Belfast Northern Ireland by a heroic Belfast protestant named Raymond McCord Sr., whose son was also assassinated. I have received Father McManus's book and it was signed by our New Assistant G.P., and I now have a better understanding of commissioner Fritz's racist Animosity towards the Irish. I did send Father McManus a check to join his efforts and he sent me a thank you and I am now a Congressional friend of Father McManus.
SPORTS:
I ALSO THINK maybe we (AOH) can get an “Irish Appreciation Night” fundraiser at Jeld Wen field, and that would go a long way to having the funds for future actions, and they did announce they were increasing the capacity.
FOOTBALL – DARN THE DUCKS LOST BY 3 POINTS SATURDAY TO USC 38-35, GO SEAHAWKS, GREAT WIN SUNDAY, GO STEELERS, MARTY AND DEAN ARE PROBABLY HAPPY RIGHT NOW AS THE RAIDERS WON AND ARE IN FIRST PLACE.
GREED IS KEEPING ME FROM HAVING A PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL REPORT, but I did hear that they may restart on Christmas Day.
COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS & CHARITIES:
The American Rights at Work still needs help; now more than ever. We must not take our eye off that MAIN issue, our two Senators haven't; E.F.C.A. And based on what I have been seeing and hearing, the Republicans have Organized Labor directly in their cross hairs at least for the next 2 years.
THE LOCAL 290 “DON SALEE” MEMBER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM; AND I YOU CAN EVEN MAKE A DONATION THROUGH THE U.A. CREDIT UNION. THANKS AL, FOR YOUR DONATION AT YOUR FUNDRAISER.
LOCAL UNION REPORT:
I ABSOLUTELY HAD TO RESPOND ON THE OUR290 FACE BOOK PAGE AS FOLLOWS;
Today, I have a few responses to brother Lyman Warnock's posting. The first thing I have to say is I apologize to Al. I am apologizing to Al, because he asked me not to respond to your assertions. As a strong supporter of The Al Schropsire campaign for Local 290 Business Manager, I respect your different choice for the next Business Manager; but I totally disagree with your logic. You keep stating that the Local Union need's a person with an experienced a business back-round, because the local is a multimillion dollar business. This is my biggest complaint with your logic. My personal experience with Lou, I hope you are aware, has been my personal battle with Kaiser Permanente; and is over their refusal to reimburse me for over charged co-payments. He has directed the Trust Attorney to work with me and Kaiser to fix my issue. And I will say he has been responsive and I have received 2 of the dozens of payment's from Kaiser I believe they owe me. One of the other things that bothered me at the nomination meeting was the reference many times of opinions by the attorney, Steve Buckley, concerning the issue's with Intel. I have known Steve Buckley for many years; he is the collections attorney for the Local. A much needed position for a union; he is a specialist in that field. He is not a Labor Lawyer. Getting Labor Law advice from him, I would liken it to getting piping system advice from a carpenter; after all they are both construction workers. ( no disrespect to my friend Steve). The other major difference, in my opinion, is Al believes this union is a FRATERNAL organization first and foremost; and the first duty of our officers is to take care of their sisters and brothers. I apologize to all the OUR 290 members for going on so long but and, my apologies to Al as he asked me not to respond to these personal attacks.
IT PAINS ME TO SAY THIS, BUT IT APPEARS A COUPLE OF OUR LONGTIME UNION CONTRACTOR'S ARE OPERATING LIKE THE BIGGER NON UNION CONTRACOR'S, I THINK AFTER THE ACTION TAKEN LAST NIGHT THEY WILL SEE THE ERROR OF THEIR WAYS. STEVE, I AM NOT SURE IF JIM WOULD EVEN RECOGNIZE THE COMPANY HE BUILT.
AL SCHROPSHIRE FOR BUSINESS MANAGER. SHORT AND SUCCIENT, NOW LET'S GET TO WORK. You can find out more about him on his face book page at al@vote4al.org !
OTHER STUFF AND COMMUNICATIONS:
THANK YOU AGAIN, FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND THOUGHTS FOR RHYON AND CHRISTOPHER.
I did get my new supply of “Business Cards” from Hollywood Impress and I need to remember to start carrying them with me; here is the link for all you Politico's that are in need of a “BUG” on your STUFF. www.himpress.com I have used them for decades and they have ALWAYS met my needs, and I picked up 200 “RAT PATROL” buttons, and they are at the Hall. I am promoting them; not selling for them.
Whether you attend a church service, a Mosque, GLBT gathering, or Synagogue service, please say a prayer that God; yours, mine or ours; keeps our service men and women in the Palm of their hand.

IS IT REALLY PRESIDENT OBAMA'S FAULT FOR THE 99%'ERS ?
PERSONAL & PROPAGANDA:
I awoke this morning at 7am, and after 9+ hours of sleep I awoke to a 3-. Niece Erin stopped by last night for dinner and we had a nice visit. I didn't make it to the CPBT yesterday but I did make it to the credit union and picked up a few business cards and I made it to the local B. of A. for some more picketing, about 2 hours. I did get good responses from all but 1 person who was a 99%er put all the blame for what is going on on the shoulders of President Obama, and he did say he was a lifelong democrat but he was going to change his registration to republican because, as far as he was concerned; the President has not fulfilled most of his campaign promises. I also emailed BOLI and the Oregon Attorney General with personal complaint's about Hoffman's assignment of work on their project in Salem. I did get to NWOLC and got some more “i am the 99% placards and stickers, put one on my picket sign and took them to the meeting and they seemed to go pretty fast, I wish I would have picked up some voter registration cards. I did finally email Grady Storms with the email I got from Congressman Blumenhauer. The “WALL STREET, BANKSTERS demonstrations continue and, I still believe that the credit Unions should get together and have a “C.U.M.O.” Credit Unions are Member Owned, gathering around the City. and the city should BILL the Banks for the Cities clean up costs, with some sort of “Business License fee” to pay for the clean up; and I did send this suggestion to Mayor Adams. SHOCK OF ALL SHOCKS, Commissioner Fritz was supporting the “occupiers” right to protest, so far anyway, it's alright here but apparently not in Ireland. I did hear that Commissioner Fritz voted against the “jobs” Columbia River Crossing project, and I missed posting yesterday.
My flier for the local branches of Wells Fargo, Chase and Citibank, have been very popular at the union, and the AFL-CIO rally downtown, and maybe today will to be a good day for me to picket, I hope.
KAISER – M.S. REPORT:
MY B.P. TODAY IS 136/81/56 AT 9:15am.
WHY IS IT WHEN YOU ARE DIAGNOSED WITH M.S. PEOPLE BELIEVE YOU HAVE NO MEMORY, AND CAN'T HEAR, and now that I have my mineral supplements; I feel better already.
I will put the prayers I have been posting again right here up front.
“Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen.”
Prayer to St. Jude for Eternal Life
You are my solace, St. Jude, in the face of loss and sorrow. I pray that you will guide my heart away from the darkness of fear and into the light of Christ. May the hope that St. Jude keeps alive in my heart be a source of comfort to all those who grieve. For in that hope, we know God's mercy, and we trust God's promise of eternal life. My soul longs for the fullness of life, which is only to be revealed when I meet my Maker in heaven. Stay by my side, St. Jude, so that my soul will always know the power of your healing love. Amen.
**** My daily prayer, is to Mary Mother of God…..”O Most Blessed Mother, heart of love, heart of mercy, ever listening, caring, consoling, hear our prayer. As your children we implore your intercession with Jesus your Son. Receive with understanding and compassion the petitions we place before you today. For sister Danni, nephew Steve, sister Clare, cousin Mick, uncle Hank, nephew Aaron, Kelli's brother, Brother Bruce Temple; good friend and brother Jeff Lyles and their speedy recoveries, good friends Ron Wyden, Shelly Nelson, Pat O'baby, good family friend Pat Percin, brother Gerry Bruce, sister Donna, the Arnnott, the Goetsche, the Commissioner Leonard, the R.B. Gilcrease and the Brasee families, and those who are having health issues; protecting Christopher and Rhyon and all in need. We are comforted in knowing your heart is ever open to those who ask for your prayer. We trust to your care and intercession, those whom we love and who are sick or lonely or hurting. Help ALL of us, to bear our burdens in this life until we may share eternal life and peace with God forever, Amen.”
POLITICAL:
THE JOINT COMMITTEE ON DEFICIT REDUCTION'S CRASHED AND BURNED A COORDINATED EFFORT I BELIEVE, TO TRY TO MAKE THE PRESIDENT LOOK BAD, BECAUSE HE WOULDN'T REALLY LET THOSE AUTOMATIC CUTS TAKE PLACE. IT WAS APPARENT TO ME THE R'S ALL WERE GOING TO SKUTTLE THIS EFFORT.

STATEMENT OF ADMINISTRATION POLICY
H. R. 3094 – Workplace Democracy and Fairness Act
(Rep. Kline, R–MN, and 37 cosponsors)
The Administration opposes H.R. 3094 because it would undermine and delay workers’ ability to exercise their right to choose whether or not to be represented by a union. H.R. 3094 also attacks the freedom of individuals to choose the co-workers with whom they wish to seek representation.
SENATOR MERKLEY THINK'S IT'S TIME FOR A CONSTITUTIONAL AMMENDMENT TO REVERESE THE SUPREME COURTS SELLING OF OUR DEMOCRACY, “CITIZENS UNITED” DECISION, I ABSOLUTELY AGREE !!

Entitlement YOUR ass , I paid cash for my social security insurance!!!! Just because THEY "borrowed" the money , doesn't make my benefits some kind of charity or handout !! Congressional benefits: aka. "free" healthcare , outrageous retirement packages , 67 paid holidays , three weeks paid vacation , unlimited paid sick days , now that's welfare , and they have the nerve to call my retirement entitlements. WITH THEM WORKING LESS THAN 9 MONTH'S OUT OF THE YEAR, MAYBE THAT'S WHY NOTHING SEEMS TO BE GETTING DONE?

CALIFORNIA, BUT I DID HEAR HE MAY BE HOME FOR THE CHRISTMAS HOLLIDAY'S; (I did text him Veterans Day, to say THANK YOU; BUT THE PRESIDENT DID SAY HE WOULD BEGIN DRAWING DOWN TROOPS SOON, AND ANNOUNCED THE WAR IN IRAQ WILL BE OVER BY THE END OF THE YEAR (I think). But a prayer a day from all my readers would still make me feel better.
LETS BRING THEM ALL HOME, NOW !!
PLEASE SUPPORT THE OREGON MILITARY SUPPORT NETWORK, AND THANK YOU MICHELLE AND GLENN FOR YOUR DEDICATION.
Joining Forces: As part of the Obama Administration's commitment to America's military families, the First Lady and Dr. Jill Biden launched their Joining Forces initiative, which will bring together all sectors of American society to lend a hand to military families, I have seen a few of their adds and they were very well done.
If you are flying the American Flag, please keep flying it until ALL our Troops return home, soon I hope as I am running out of yellow ribbon, and my flag is getting pretty faded.
At the 11th Hour, on the 11th Day, of the 11th Month a cease fire was signed to end the war to end all wars in 1918. How's that worked out so far ?
AOH REPORT:
I have ordered MY issue of the “History of the AOH in America”.
OUR LAST AOH MEETING WAS GREAT, AND WE HAD A GREAT DISCUSSION ON WHICH POLITICAL PARTY IN IRELAND WE MIGHT BELONG TO IF WE WERE RESIDENTS AND VOTERS. WE ALSO FOUND OUT GERALD IS OPENING ANOTHER KELL'S AT 21ST AND EVERETT, BUT I THINK IT WILL JUST BE BREW PUB AND SPORTS BAR.
This is my short report on the “Unite Ireland” issue. I am going to put the “Portland AOH” facebook page in here, and the wikipedia link to “Monahans, Texas”.

Today, I have a few responses to brother Lyman Warnock's posting. The first thing I have to say is I apologize to Al. I am apologizing to Al, because he asked me not to respond to your assertions. As a strong supporter of The Al Schropsire campaign for Local 290 Business Manager, I respect your different choice for the next Business Manager; but I totally disagree with your logic. You keep stating that the Local Union need's a person with an experienced a business back-round, because the local is a multimillion dollar business. This is my biggest complaint with your logic. My personal experience with Lou, I hope you are aware has been my personal battle with Kaiser Permanente; and is over their refusal to reimburse me for over charged co-payments. He has directed the Trust Attorney to work with me and Kaiser to fix my issue. And I will say he has been responsive and I have received 2 of the dozens of payment's from Kaiser I believe they owe me. One of the other things that bothered me at the nomination meeting was the reference many times of opinions by the attorney, Steve Buckley, concerning the issue's with Intel. I have known Steve Buckley for many years; he is the collections attorney for the Local. A much needed position for a union; he is a specialist in that field. He is not a Labor Lawyer. Getting Labor Law advice from him, I would liken it to getting piping system advice from a carpenter; after all they are both construction workers. ( no disrespect to my friend Steve). The other major difference, in my opinion, is Al believes this union is a FRATERNAL organization first and foremost; and the first duty of our officers is to take care of their sisters and brothers. I apologize to all the OUR 290 members for going on so long but and, my apologies to Al as he asked me not to respond to these personal attacks.
IT PAINS ME TO SAY THIS, BUT IT APPEARS A COUPLE OF OUR LONGTIME UNION CONTRACTOR'S ARE OPERATING LIKE THE BIGGER NON UNION CONTRACOR'S, I THINK AFTER THE ACTION TAKEN LAST NIGHT THEY WILL SEE THE ERROR OF THEIR WAYS. STEVE, I AM NOT SURE IF JIM WOULD EVEN RECOGNIZE THE COMPANY HE BUILT.
AL SCHROPSHIRE FOR BUSINESS MANAGER. SHORT AND SUCCIENT, NOW LET'S GET TO WORK. You can find out more about him on his face book page at al@vote4al.org !
OTHER STUFF AND COMMUNICATIONS:
I did get my new supply of “Business Cards” from Hollywood Impress and I need to remember to start carrying them with me; here is the link for all you Politico's that are in need of a “BUG” on your STUFF. www.himpress.com I have used them for decades and they have ALWAYS met my needs, and I picked up 200 “RAT PATROL” buttons, and they are at the Hall. I am promoting them; not selling for them.
Whether you attend a church service, a Mosque, GLBT gathering, or Synagogue service, please say a prayer that God; yours, mine or ours; keeps our service men and women in the Palm of their hand.

TODAY IS THE DAY FOR THE, SO CALLED, BI-PARTISAN BUDGET COMMITTEE TO REACH AGREEMENT OR THE CUTS WILL BE AUTOMATIC.
PERSONAL & PROPAGANDA:
I awoke this morning at 6:45am, and after 9+ hours of sleep I awoke to a 3-. The Nominations for Local 290 went way too long. I did make it there early (5:30pm) enough for the tailgate party Al put on, and other than being too wet and cold it was a lot of fun; well done Al, I am still cold to the bone and fighting a slight cold. I also thought I posted a message on the Our 290 face book page Saturday but apparently I hit the wrong button and it didn't get posted, so I will put it here on my blog again today in the my local Union section. I did post another message on the OUR 290 face book page yesterday, and It did make it on. I did get to NWOLC and got some more “i am the 99% placards and stickers and took them to the meeting and they seemed to go pretty fast. I still have not emailed Grady Storms with the email I got from Congressman Blumenhauer, I know I have her card with her email address; I just need to find it. The “WALL STREET, BANKSTERS demonstrations continue and, I still believe that the credit Unions should get together and have a “C.U.M.O.” Credit Unions are Member Owned, gathering around the City. and the city should BILL the Banks for the Cities clean up costs, with some sort of “Business License fee” to pay for the clean up; and I did send this suggestion to Mayor Adams. SHOCK OF ALL SHOCKS, Commissioner Fritz was supporting the “occupiers” right to protest, so far anyway, it's alright here but apparently not in Ireland. I did hear that Commissioner Fritz voted against the “jobs” Columbia River Crossing project, and I hope everyone appreciated my very short posting yesterday, but I didn't get to say Thank You, and go up the hill to see Mom and Dad.
My flier for the local branches of Wells Fargo, Chase and Citibank, were very popular at the union meeting last night, and the AFL-CIO rally downtown, and maybe today will to be a good day for me to picket, I hope.
KAISER – M.S. REPORT:
MY B.P. TODAY IS 124/80/62 AT 8:45am.
WHY IS IT WHEN YOU ARE DIAGNOSED WITH M.S. PEOPLE BELIEVE YOU HAVE NO MEMORY, AND CAN'T HEAR, and now that I have my mineral supplements; I feel better already.
I will put the prayers I have been posting again right here up front.
“Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen.”
Prayer to St. Jude for Eternal Life
You are my solace, St. Jude, in the face of loss and sorrow. I pray that you will guide my heart away from the darkness of fear and into the light of Christ. May the hope that St. Jude keeps alive in my heart be a source of comfort to all those who grieve. For in that hope, we know God's mercy, and we trust God's promise of eternal life. My soul longs for the fullness of life, which is only to be revealed when I meet my Maker in heaven. Stay by my side, St. Jude, so that my soul will always know the power of your healing love. Amen.
**** My daily prayer, is to Mary Mother of God…..”O Most Blessed Mother, heart of love, heart of mercy, ever listening, caring, consoling, hear our prayer. As your children we implore your intercession with Jesus your Son. Receive with understanding and compassion the petitions we place before you today. For sister Danni, nephew Steve, sister Clare, cousin Mick, uncle Hank, nephew Aaron, Kelli's Mom, Brother Bruce Temple; good friend and brother Jeff Lyles and their speedy recoveries, good friends Ron Wyden, Shelly Nelson, Pat O'baby, good family friend Pat Percin, brother Gerry Bruce, sister Donna, the Arnnott, the Goetsche, the Commissioner Leonard, the R.B. Gilcrease and the Brasee families, and those who are having health issues; protecting Christopher and Rhyon and all in need. We are comforted in knowing your heart is ever open to those who ask for your prayer. We trust to your care and intercession, those whom we love and who are sick or lonely or hurting. Help ALL of us, to bear our burdens in this life until we may share eternal life and peace with God forever, Amen.”
POLITICAL:
THE JOINT COMMITTEE ON DEFICIT REDUCTION'S FIRST COMMITTEE HAS JUST STARTED ON C-SPAN2. IT TOOK PLACE SEPTEMBER 8TH AND WHILE MOST OF THE MEDIA HAVE BEEN SAYING IT'S A USELESS EFFORT, MOST ALL OPENING STATEMENT'S WERE SAYING WE (THE COMMITTEE) CANNOT FAIL. IT ACTUALLY GOT THROUGH ABOUT 4 MINUTES UNTIL THE REPUBLICAN REPRESENTATIVE FROM MICHIGAN WAS INTERUPTED, A COORDINATED EFFORT I BELIEVE, BUY A YELLING MATCH FROM THE AUDIENCE. BASED ON SENATOR KYL'S (R-AZ) OPENING STATEMENT IT WAS APPARENT TO ME THE R'S ALL WERE GOING TO SKUTTLE THIS EFFORT.
REPRESENTATIVE JAMES CLYBURN OF SOUTH CAROLINA MADE THE BEST; IN MY OPINION HAS MADE THE MOST IMPASSIONED AND GOOD OPENING STATEMENT.
THANK YOU PRESIDENT OBAMA; EMPLOYEE FREE CHOICE ACT.
November 17
EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20503
STATEMENT OF ADMINISTRATION POLICY
H. R. 3094 – Workplace Democracy and Fairness Act
(Rep. Kline, R–MN, and 37 cosponsors)
The Administration opposes H.R. 3094 because it would undermine and delay workers’ ability to exercise their right to choose whether or not to be represented by a union. H.R. 3094 also attacks the freedom of individuals to choose the co-workers with whom they wish to seek representation.
SENATOR MERKLEY THINK'S IT'S TIME FOR A CONSTITUTIONAL AMMENDMENT TO REVERESE THE SUPREME COURTS SELLING OF OUR DEMOCRACY, “CITIZENS UNITED” DECISION, I ABSOLUTELY AGREE !!
I HOPE YOU NOTICED, BUT I HAVE MADE A SLIGHT CHANGE IN MY HERO LIST; I STILL LIKE SENATOR RON WYDEN AND CONGRESSMAN EARL BLUMENHAUER, BUT THEY ARE TOTALLY WRONG ON THEIR STAND AGAINST THAT “KEYSTONE?” PIPELINE PROJECT; GOOD UNION JOBS THAT ARE DEFINITELY NEEDED, BUT I HAVE TO SAY EARL'S BILL TO EXTEND UNEMPLOYMENT GETS HIM BACK TO BE A HIGHLIGHTED HERO.
I HAVE ALSO DECIDED TO RESTART MY ZERO LIST, BEING MY FEW REPUBLICAN FRIENDS ARE ALSO ANGRY AT SOME OF THEIR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS, AND WHILE I REMOVED MAYOR ADAMS FROM MY HERO LIST, I WILL NOT PUT HIM ON MY ZERO LIST.
MY PICKET SIGN, AND LEAFLET'S HAVE SURE BEEN WELL RECEIVED, AND I NOW HAVE MORE “i AM THE 99%” PLACKARDS, AND STICKERS, LETS HOPE FOR A DECENT DAY TODAY.

Entitlement YOUR ass , I paid cash for my social security insurance!!!! Just because THEY "borrowed" the money , doesn't make my benefits some kind of charity or handout !! Congressional benefits: aka. "free" healthcare , outrageous retirement packages , 67 paid holidays , three weeks paid vacation , unlimited paid sick days , now that's welfare , and they have the nerve to call my retirement entitlements. WITH THEM WORKING LESS THAN 9 MONTH'S OUT OF THE YEAR, MAYBE THAT'S WHY NOTHING SEEMS TO BE GETTING DONE?
GOOD LUCK MARTHA SCHRADER ON YOUR RUN FOR THE CLACKAMAS COUNTY COMMISSION. SHE CAN BE HELPED AT www.C-esys.com/marthaschrader/donationaspx !
MY MOST IMPORTANT SECTION STILL:
YELLOW RIBBON SECTION:

http://www.lbeh.org/
Don't forget to say THANK YOU, to all those servicemen and women who have served or are serving.
NEPHEW RHYON IS BACK IN AFGHANISTAN, AND NEPHEW CHRISTOPHER IS BACK ON BASE IN S. CALIFORNIA, BUT I DID HEAR HE BROKE HIS LEG; (I did text him Veterans Day, to say THANK YOU; BUT THE PRESIDENT DID SAY HE WOULD BEGIN DRAWING DOWN TROOPS SOON, AND ANNOUNCED THE WAR IN IRAQ WILL BE OVER BY THE END OF THE YEAR (I think). But a prayer a day from all my readers would still make me feel better.
LETS BRING THEM ALL HOME, NOW !!
PLEASE SUPPORT THE OREGON MILITARY SUPPORT NETWORK, AND THANK YOU MICHELLE AND GLENN FOR YOUR DEDICATION.
Joining Forces: As part of the Obama Administration's commitment to America's military families, the First Lady and Dr. Jill Biden launched their Joining Forces initiative, which will bring together all sectors of American society to lend a hand to military families, I have seen a few of their adds and they were very well done.
If you are flying the American Flag, please keep flying it until ALL our Troops return home, soon I hope as I am running out of yellow ribbon, and my flag is getting pretty faded.
At the 11th Hour, on the 11th Day, of the 11th Month a cease fire was signed to end the war to end all wars in 1918. How's that worked out so far ?
AOH REPORT:
I have ordered MY issue of the “History of the AOH in America”.
OUR LAST AOH MEETING WAS GREAT, AND WE HAD A GREAT DISCUSSION ON WHICH POLITICAL PARTY IN IRELAND WE MIGHT BELONG TO IF WE WERE RESIDENTS AND VOTERS. WE ALSO FOUND OUT GERALD IS OPENING ANOTHER KELL'S AT 21ST AND EVERETT, BUT I THINK IT WILL JUST BE BREW PUB AND SPORTS BAR.
This is my short report on the “Unite Ireland” issue. I am going to put the “Portland AOH” facebook page in here, and the wikipedia link to “Monahans, Texas”.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monahans,_Texas !
http://www.facebook.com/people/Portland-Oregon-Aoh/100002392556842 !
I still think we need a few OREGONIANS on Father McManus's “Congressional Friends” list. We must never forget the Ballymurphy Massacre of 1971, (40 years searching for justice). We need to realize along with a number of Irish Catholic's, including a priest that were assassinated that day there were also a number of Northern Irish Protestants. This battle for justice that is being waged here in the U.S.A. by father McManus is also being waged in Belfast Northern Ireland by a heroic Belfast protestant named Raymond McCord Sr., whose son was also assassinated. I have received Father McManus's book and it was signed by our New Assistant G.P., and I now have a better understanding of commissioner Fritz's racist Animosity towards the Irish. I did send Father McManus a check to join his efforts and he sent me a thank you and I am now a Congressional friend of Father McManus.
I ALSO THINK maybe we (AOH) can get an “Irish Appreciation Night fundraiser at Jeld Wen field, and that would go a long way to having the funds for future actions, and they did announce they were increasing the capacity.
SPORTS:
My baseball reports are over now that, THE WORLD SERIES HAS A NEW CHAMPION, THE ST. LOUIS CARDINALS !
FOOTBALL – DARN THE DUCKS LOST BY 3 POINTS SATURDAY TO USC 38-35, GO SEAHAWKS, GREAT WIN SUNDAY, GO STEELERS; MARTY AND DEAN ARE PROBABLY HAPPY RIGHT NOW AS THE RAIDERS WON AND ARE IN FIRST PLACE.
COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS & CHARITIES:
The American Rights at Work still needs help; now more than ever. We must not take our eye off that MAIN issue, our two Senators haven't; E.F.C.A. And based on what I have been seeing and hearing, the Republicans have Organized Labor directly in their cross hairs at least for the next 2 years.
THE LOCAL 290 “DON SALEE” MEMBER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM; AND I YOU CAN EVEN MAKE A DONATION THROUGH THE U.A. CREDIT UNION. THANKS AL, FOR YOUR DONATION AT YOUR FUNDRAISER.
LOCAL UNION REPORT:
I ABSOLUTELY HAD TO RESPOND ON THE OUR290 FACE BOOK PAGE AS FOLLOWS;
Today, I have a few responses to brother Lyman Warnock's posting. The first thing I have to say is I apologize to Al. I am apologizing to Al, because he asked me not to respond to your assertions. As a strong supporter of The Al Schropsire campaign for Local 290 Business Manager, I respect your different choice for the next Business Manager; but I totally disagree with your logic. You keep stating that the Local Union need's a person with an experienced business back-round, because the local is a multimillion dollar business. This is my biggest complaint with your logic. My personal experience with Lou, I hope you are aware, has been my personal battle with Kaiser Permanente; and is over their refusal to reimburse me for over charged co-payments. He has directed the Trust Attorney to work with me and Kaiser to fix my issue. And I will say he has been responsive and I have received 2 of the dozens of payment's from Kaiser I believe they owe me. One of the other things that bothered me at the nomination meeting was the reference many times of opinions by the attorney, Steve Buckley, concerning the issue's with Intel. I have known Steve Buckley for many years; he is the collections attorney for the Local. A much needed position for a union; he is a specialist in that field. He is not a Labor Lawyer. Getting Labor Law advice from him, I would liken it to getting piping system advice from a carpenter; after all they are both construction workers. (no disrespect to my friend Steve). The other major difference, in my opinion, is Al believes this union is a FRATERNAL organization first and foremost; and the first duty of our officers is to take care of their sisters and brothers. I apologize to all the OUR 290 members for going on so long but and, my apologies to Al as he asked me not to respond to these personal attacks.
IT PAINS ME TO SAY THIS, BUT IT APPEARS A COUPLE OF OUR LONGTIME UNION CONTRACTOR'S ARE OPERATING LIKE THE BIGGER NON UNION CONTRACOR'S, I THINK AFTER THE ACTION TAKEN LAST NIGHT THEY WILL SEE THE ERROR OF THEIR WAYS. STEVE, I AM NOT SURE IF JIM WOULD EVEN RECOGNIZE THE COMPANY HE BUILT.
NOMINATIONS THIS WEEK DOWNSTATE.
AL SCHROPSHIRE FOR BUSINESS MANAGER. SHORT AND SUCCIENT, NOW LET'S GET TO WORK. You can find out more about him on his face book page at al@vote4al.org !
OTHER STUFF AND COMMUNICATIONS:
I did get my new supply of “Business Cards” from Hollywood Impress and I need to remember to start carrying them with me; here is the link for all you Politico's that are in need of a “BUG” on your STUFF. www.himpress.com I have used them for decades and they have ALWAYS met my needs, and I picked up 200 “RAT PATROL” buttons, and they are at the Hall.

WELL DONE AL
PERSONAL & PROPAGANDA:
I slept in this morning until 9:30am, after 8+ hours of sleep and awoke to a 3-, still very tired, from a long Union meeting last night then took my am pills. The Nominations for Local 290 went way too long. I did make it there early (5:30pm) enough for the tailgate party Al will be putting on, and other than being too wet and cold it was a lot of fun; well done Al. I did get my massage hoping it would give me enough energy to last the whole meeting, but even that didn't help; yesterday was a very busy long day. I did meet with Greg from the Oregon Historical Society Wednesday and we had a good 2 hour+ session, and he had a full schedule prepared for me and we didn't get done, and it appears we will have a few more sessions; after Thanksgiving. I also got the minutes from the 1st 290 nominations and election after we were taken out of trusteeship; a real interesting thing I found from those minutes was, as pissed off as the membership were following the merger neither meeting took over 2 and a half hours. I finally left the meeting last night at about 11:30pm. I did get to NWOLC and got some more “i am the 99% placards and stickers and took them to the meeting and they seemed to go pretty fast. I also have not emailed Grady Storms with the email I got from Congressman Blumenhauer, I know I have her card with her email address; I just need to find it. The “WALL STREET, BANKSTERS demonstrations continue and it should be pretty interesting on the talking heads shows tomorrow. I would make a suggestion that the credit Unions get together and have a “C.U.M.O.” Credit Unions our Member Owned, gathering around the City. and BILL the Banks for the Cities clean up costs, with some sort of “Business License fee” to pay for the clean up, I did send this suggestion to Mayor Adams yesterday. SHOCK OF ALL SHOCKS, Commissioner Fritz was supporting the “occupiers” right to protest, so far anyway, it's alright here but apparently not in Ireland. I did hear that Commissioner Fritz voted against the “jobs” Columbia River Crossing project, and I hope everyone appreciated my very short posting yesterday, but I didn't get to say Thank You, and go up the hill to see Mom and Dad.
My flier for the local branches of Wells Fargo, Chase and Citibank, were very popular at the union meeting last night, and the AFL-CIO rally downtown.
KAISER – M.S. REPORT:
MY B.P. TODAY IS 138/70/60 AT 5:45pm, not bad considering the late night yesterday.
WHY IS IT WHEN YOU ARE DIAGNOSED WITH M.S. PEOPLE BELIEVE YOU HAVE NO MEMORY, AND CAN'T HEAR, and now that I have my mineral supplements; I feel better already.
I will put the prayers I have been posting again right here up front.
“Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen.”
Prayer to St. Jude for Eternal Life
You are my solace, St. Jude, in the face of loss and sorrow. I pray that you will guide my heart away from the darkness of fear and into the light of Christ. May the hope that St. Jude keeps alive in my heart be a source of comfort to all those who grieve. For in that hope, we know God's mercy, and we trust God's promise of eternal life. My soul longs for the fullness of life, which is only to be revealed when I meet my Maker in heaven. Stay by my side, St. Jude, so that my soul will always know the power of your healing love. Amen.
**** My daily prayer, is to Mary Mother of God…..”O Most Blessed Mother, heart of love, heart of mercy, ever listening, caring, consoling, hear our prayer. As your children we implore your intercession with Jesus your Son. Receive with understanding and compassion the petitions we place before you today. For sister Danni, nephew Steve, sister Clare, cousin Mick, uncle Hank, nephew Aaron, Kelli's Mom, Brother Bruce Temple; good friend and brother Jeff Lyles and their speedy recoveries, good friends Ron Wyden, Shelly Nelson, Pat O'baby, good family friend Pat Percin, brother Gerry Bruce, sister Donna, the Arnnott, the Goetsche, the Commissioner Leonard, the R.B. Gilcrease and the Brasee families, and those who are having health issues; protecting Christopher and Rhyon and all in need. We are comforted in knowing your heart is ever open to those who ask for your prayer. We trust to your care and intercession, those whom we love and who are sick or lonely or hurting. Help ALL of us, to bear our burdens in this life until we may share eternal life and peace with God forever, Amen.”

Joining Forces: As part of the Obama Administration's commitment to America's military families, the First Lady and Dr. Jill Biden launched their Joining Forces initiative, which will bring together all sectors of American society to lend a hand to military families, I have seen a few of their adds and they were very well done.

AOH REPORT:
I have ordered MY issue of the “History of the AOH in America”.
OUR LAST AOH MEETING WAS GREAT, AND WE HAD A GREAT DISCUSSION ON WHICH POLITICAL PARTY IN IRELAND WE MIGHT BELONG TO IF WE WERE RESIDENTS AND VOTERS. WE ALSO FOUND OUT GERALD IS OPENING ANOTHER KELL'S AT 21ST AND EVERETT, BUT I THINK IT WILL JUST BE BREW PUB AND SPORTS BAR.
This is my short report on the “Unite Ireland” issue. I am going to put the “Portland AOH” facebook page in here, and the wikipedia link to “Monahans, Texas”.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monahans,_Texas !
http://www.facebook.com/people/Portland-Oregon-Aoh/100002392556842 !
I still think we need a few OREGONIANS on Father McManus's “Congressional Friends” list. We must never forget the Ballymurphy Massacre of 1971, (40 years searching for justice). We need to realize along with a number of Irish Catholic's, including a priest that were assassinated that day there were also a number of Northern Irish Protestants. This battle for justice that is being waged here in the U.S.A. by father McManus is also being waged in Belfast Northern Ireland by a heroic Belfast protestant named Raymond McCord Sr., whose son was also assassinated. I have received Father McManus's book and it was signed by our New Assistant G.P., and I now have a better understanding of commissioner Fritz's racist Animosity towards the Irish. I did send Father McManus a check to join his efforts and he sent me a thank you and I am now a Congressional friend of Father McManus.
I ALSO THINK maybe we (AOH) can get an “Irish Appreciation Night fundraiser at Jeld Wen field, and that would go a long way to having the funds for future actions, and they did announce they were increasing the capacity.

THANK YOU REPRESENTATIVE BLUMENHAUER & PRESIDENT OBAMA
PERSONAL & PROPAGANDA:
I awoke this morning at 6:30am, after 9+ hours of sleep and awoke to a 3-, still pretty tired and and took my am pills. Tonight is Nominations for Local 290 and I hope you all can make it. I am going to try to be there early (5:30pm) enough for the tailgate party Al will be putting on. Yesterday was a busy day, It started for me at the retiree's meeting and finished at Gloria'z with dinner with Judi, Shelly and Gary and there was a surprise Birthday “party” for both Dean and Gloria. I did see Jim and Suzy Judge as they are back from their trip resettling Suzy's dad in Yuma. I missed posting yesterday, as it was a very busy day. I did have Greg from the Oregon Historical Society Wednesday and we had a good 2 hour+ session, and he had a full schedule prepared for me and we didn't get done, and it appears we will have a few more sessions; after Thanksgiving. The DOW is up over 50 points, so far. I did get to NWOLC and got some more “i am the 99% plackards and stickers. I did fall off the “keno” wagon last night but I still I don't think they are going to name a park after me anyway ! I have also started to read Woody Guthrie's autobiography “Bound for Glory”; he passed away in 1967 but you might think he was speaking of the times we are in right now. The “WALL STREET, BANKSTERS demonstrations continue, and it appeared on the news last night things went rather badly; they are sure making a big deal about the cost's being born by the City. I would make a suggestion that the credit Unions get together and have a “C.U.M.O.” Credit Unions are Member Owned, gathering around the City. and BILL the Banks for the Cities clean up costs, with some sort of “Business License fee” to pay for the clean up, I did send this suggestion to Mayor Adams yesterday. SHOCK OF ALL SHOCKS, Commissioner Fritz was supporting the “occupiers” right to protest, so far anyway, it's alright here but apparently not in Ireland. I did hear that Commissioner Fritz voted against the “jobs” Columbia River Crossing project.
My flier for the local branches of Wells Fargo, Chase and Citibank, were very popular at the union meeting, the AFL-CIO rally downtown, I have got a few more 'i am the 99% placards” and I will be taking them to the Union meeting tonight.

Entitlement YOUR ass , I paid cash for my social security insurance!!!! Just because THEY "borrowed" the money , doesn't make my benefits some kind of charity or handout !! Congressional benefits: aka. "free" healthcare , outrageous retirement packages , 67 paid holidays , three weeks paid vacation , unlimited paid sick days , now that's welfare , and they have the nerve to call my retirement entitlements. WITH THEM WORKING LESS THAN 9 MONTH'S OUT OF THE YEAR, MAYBE THAT'S WHY NOTHING SEEMS TO BE GETTING DONE?

NEPHEW RHYON IS BACK IN AFGHANISTAN, AND NEPHEW CHRISTOPHER IS BACK ON BASE IN S. CALIFORNIA, BUT I DID HEAR HE BROKE HIS LEG; (I did text him Veterans Day, to say THANK YOU; BUT THE PRESIDENT DID SAY HE WOULD BEGIN DRAWING DOWN TROOPS SOON, AND ANNOUNCED THE WAR IN IRAQ WILL BE OVER BY THE END OF THE YEAR (I think). But a prayer a day from all my readers would still make me feel better.
LETS BRING THEM ALL HOME, NOW !!
PLEASE SUPPORT THE OREGON MILITARY SUPPORT NETWORK, AND THANK YOU MICHELLE AND GLENN FOR YOUR DEDICATION.
Joining Forces: As part of the Obama Administration's commitment to America's military families, the First Lady and Dr. Jill Biden launched their Joining Forces initiative, which will bring together all sectors of American society to lend a hand to military families, I have seen a few of their adds and they were very well done.
If you are flying the American Flag, please keep flying it until ALL our Troops return home, soon I hope as I am running out of yellow ribbon, and my flag is getting pretty faded.
At the 11th Hour, on the 11th Day, of the 11th Month a cease fire was signed to end the war to end all wars in 1918. How's that worked out so far ?
AOH REPORT:
I have ordered MY issue of the “History of the AOH in America”.
AT OUR LAST AOH MEETING WAS GREAT, AND WE HAD A GREAT DISCUSSION ON WHICH POLITICAL PARTY IN IRELAND WE MIGHT BELONG TO IF WE WERE RESIDENTS AND VOTERS. WE ALSO FOUND OUT GERALD IS OPENING ANOTHER KELL'S AT 21ST AND EVERETT, BUT I THINK IT WILL JUST BE BREW PUB AND SPORTS BAR.
This is my short report on the “Unite Ireland” issue. I am going to put the “Portland AOH” facebook page in here, and the wikipedia link to “Monahans, Texas”.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monahans,_Texas !
http://www.facebook.com/people/Portland-Oregon-Aoh/100002392556842 !
I still think we need a few OREGONIANS on Father McManus's “Congressional Friends” list. We must never forget the Ballymurphy Massacre of 1971, (40 years searching for justice). We need to realize along with a number of Irish Catholic's, including a priest that were assassinated that day there were also a number of Northern Irish Protestants. This battle for justice that is being waged here in the U.S.A. by father McManus is also being waged in Belfast Northern Ireland by a heroic Belfast protestant named Raymond McCord Sr., whose son was also assassinated. I have received Father McManus's book and it was signed by our New Assistant G.P., and I now have a better understanding of commissioner Fritz's racist Animosity towards the Irish. I did send Father McManus a check to join his efforts and he sent me a thank you and I am now a Congressional friend of Father McManus.
I ALSO THINK maybe we (AOH) can get an “Irish Appreciation Night fundraiser at Jeld Wen field, and that would go a long way to having the funds for future actions, and they did announce they were increasing the capacity.
SPORTS:
My baseball reports are over now that, THE WORLD SERIES HAS A NEW CHAMPION, THE ST. LOUIS CARDINALS !
FOOTBALL – GO DUCKS, GREAT WIN AGAINST STANFORD, GO SEAHAWKS; GO STEELERS !
COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS & CHARITIES:
The American Rights at Work still needs help; now more than ever. We must not take our eye off that MAIN issue, our two Senators haven't; E.F.C.A. And based on what I have been seeing and hearing, the Republicans have Organized Labor directly in their cross hairs at least for the next 2 years.
THE LOCAL 290 “DON SALEE” MEMBER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM; AND I UNDERSTAND YOU CAN EVEN MAKE A DONATION THROUGH THE U.A. CREDIT UNION. THANKS AL, FOR YOUR DONATION AT YOUR FUNDRAISER.
LOCAL UNION REPORT:
IT PAINS ME TO SAY THIS, BUT IT APPEARS A COUPLE OF OUR LONGTIME UNION CONTRACTOR'S ARE OPERATING LIKE THE BIGGER NON UNION CONTRACOR'S, I THINK AFTER THE ACTION TAKEN LAST NIGHT THEY WILL SEE THE ERROR OF THEIR WAYS. STEVE, I AM NOT SURE IF JIM WOULD EVEN RECOGNIZE THE COMPANY HE BUILT.
NOMINATIONS TONIGHT, HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE; AND AT AL'S TAILGATE BBQ AT 5:30PM.
AL SCHROPSHIRE FOR BUSINESS MANAGER. SHORT AND SUCCIENT, NOW LET'S GET TO WORK. You can find out more about him on his face book page at al@vote4al.org !
OTHER STUFF AND COMMUNICATIONS:
I did get my new supply of “Business Cards” from Hollywood Impress and I need to remember to start carrying them with me; here is the link for all you Politico's that are in need of a “BUG” on your STUFF. www.himpress.com I have used them for decades and they have ALWAYS met my needs, and I picked up 200 “RAT PATROL” buttons, and they are at the Hall. I am promoting them; not selling for them.
Whether you attend a church service, a Mosque, GLBT gathering, or Synagogue service, please say a prayer that God; yours, mine or ours; keeps our service men and women in the Palm of their hand.
Bobbie, my blog is 6 pages and over 2,200 words.
I awoke this morning at 6:30am, after 9+ hours of sleep and awoke to a 3-, still pretty tired and and took my am pills. Tonight is Nominations for Local 290 and I hope you all can make it. I am going to try to be there early (5:30pm) enough for the tailgate party Al will be putting on. Yesterday was a busy day, It started for me at the retiree's meeting and finished at Gloria'z with dinner with Judi, Shelly and Gary and there was a surprise Birthday “party” for both Dean and Gloria. I did see Jim and Suzy Judge as they are back from their trip resettling Suzy's dad in Yuma. I missed posting yesterday, as it was a very busy day. I did have Greg from the Oregon Historical Society Wednesday and we had a good 2 hour+ session, and he had a full schedule prepared for me and we didn't get done, and it appears we will have a few more sessions; after Thanksgiving. The DOW is up over 50 points, so far. I did get to NWOLC and got some more “i am the 99% plackards and stickers. I did fall off the “keno” wagon last night but I still I don't think they are going to name a park after me anyway ! I have also started to read Woody Guthrie's autobiography “Bound for Glory”; he passed away in 1967 but you might think he was speaking of the times we are in right now. The “WALL STREET, BANKSTERS demonstrations continue, and it appeared on the news last night things went rather badly; they are sure making a big deal about the cost's being born by the City. I would make a suggestion that the credit Unions get together and have a “C.U.M.O.” Credit Unions are Member Owned, gathering around the City. and BILL the Banks for the Cities clean up costs, with some sort of “Business License fee” to pay for the clean up, I did send this suggestion to Mayor Adams yesterday. SHOCK OF ALL SHOCKS, Commissioner Fritz was supporting the “occupiers” right to protest, so far anyway, it's alright here but apparently not in Ireland. I did hear that Commissioner Fritz voted against the “jobs” Columbia River Crossing project.
My flier for the local branches of Wells Fargo, Chase and Citibank, were very popular at the union meeting, the AFL-CIO rally downtown, I have got a few more 'i am the 99% placards” and I will be taking them to the Union meeting tonight.
KAISER – M.S. REPORT:
MY B.P. TODAY IS 136/76/58 AT 10:am.
WHY IS IT WHEN YOU ARE DIAGNOSED WITH M.S. PEOPLE BELIEVE YOU HAVE NO MEMORY, AND CAN'T HEAR, and now that I have my mineral supplements; I feel better already.
I will put the prayers I have been posting again right here up front.
“Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen.”
Prayer to St. Jude for Eternal Life
You are my solace, St. Jude, in the face of loss and sorrow. I pray that you will guide my heart away from the darkness of fear and into the light of Christ. May the hope that St. Jude keeps alive in my heart be a source of comfort to all those who grieve. For in that hope, we know God's mercy, and we trust God's promise of eternal life. My soul longs for the fullness of life, which is only to be revealed when I meet my Maker in heaven. Stay by my side, St. Jude, so that my soul will always know the power of your healing love. Amen.
**** My daily prayer, is to Mary Mother of God…..”O Most Blessed Mother, heart of love, heart of mercy, ever listening, caring, consoling, hear our prayer. As your children we implore your intercession with Jesus your Son. Receive with understanding and compassion the petitions we place before you today. For sister Danni, nephew Steve, sister Clare, cousin Mick, uncle Hank, nephew Aaron, Kelli's Mom, Brother Bruce Temple; good friend and brother Jeff Lyles and their speedy recoveries, good friends Ron Wyden, Shelly Nelson, Pat O'baby, good family friend Pat Percin, brother Gerry Bruce, sister Donna, the Arnnott, the Goetsche, the Commissioner Leonard, the R.B. Gilcrease and the Brasee families, and those who are having health issues; protecting Christopher and Rhyon and all in need. We are comforted in knowing your heart is ever open to those who ask for your prayer. We trust to your care and intercession, those whom we love and who are sick or lonely or hurting. Help ALL of us, to bear our burdens in this life until we may share eternal life and peace with God forever, Amen.”

EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20503
STATEMENT OF ADMINISTRATION POLICY
H. R. 3094 – Workplace Democracy and Fairness Act
(Rep. Kline, R–MN, and 37 cosponsors)
The Administration opposes H.R. 3094 because it would undermine and delay workers’ ability to exercise their right to choose whether or not to be represented by a union. H.R. 3094 also attacks the freedom of individuals to choose the co-workers with whom they wish to seek representation.
SENATOR MERKLEY THINK'S IT'S TIME FOR A CONSTITUTIONAL AMMENDMENT TO REVERESE THE SUPREME COURTS SELLING OF OUR DEMOCRACY, “CITIZENS UNITED” DECISION, I ABSOLUTELY AGREE !!
I HOPE YOU NOTICED, BUT I HAVE MADE A SLIGHT CHANGE IN MY HERO LIST; I STILL LIKE SENATOR RON WYDEN AND CONGRESSMAN EARL BLUMENHAUER, BUT THEY ARE TOTALLY WRONG ON THEIR STAND AGAINST THAT “KEYSTONE?” PIPELINE PROJECT; GOOD UNION JOBS THAT ARE DEFINITELY NEEDED, BUT I HAVE TO SAY EARL'S BILL TO EXTEND UNEMPLOYMENT GETS HIM BACK TO BE A HIGHLIGHTED HERO.
I HAVE ALSO DECIDED TO RESTART MY ZERO LIST, BEING MY FEW REPUBLICAN FRIENDS ARE ALSO ANGRY AT SOME OF THEIR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS, AND WHILE I REMOVED MAYOR ADAMS FROM MY HERO LIST, I WILL NOT PUT HIM ON MY ZERO LIST.
MY PICKET SIGN, AND LEAFLET'S HAVE SURE BEEN WELL RECEIVED, AND I NOW HAVE MORE “i AM THE 99%” PLACKARDS, AND STICKERS.
