While we face the continuation of a grim economic climate, as families struggle to make ends meet, businesses work hard to remain competitive and our governments strive to meet increasing demands for public services, there is some good news to share. Oregon has made great strides to make it easy and convenient to register and vote. *n March 1, 2010, we made it simpler, more efficient and more secure to register to vote through *regon's online voter registration system.You can register online if you have an Oregon driver's licens��, glate ID or driver's permit. If you're already registered but need to update your address or change your party affiliation, you can do that online as well.

With the help of the federal Help America Vote Act, we have aggressively pursued options to meet the needs of voters with disabilities so they can vote privately and independently. Did you know that a voter who is unable to use a standard ballot could get a ballot in large print, or an Alternate Format Ballot?The Alternate Format Ballot allows a voter to use their own computer and existing accessibility features (for example, a screen reader) to read, fill out and print their ballot.

Fellow Oregonians, I have never been a politician, nor been someone inter- ested in being a politician. I have never been very skilled at speaking out both sides of my mouth, or saying one thing and doing something totally opposite.Those traits don't get you very far when you are self employed or a business owner. However, I have been increasingly dismayed at government policies at all levels over the last few years, and in particular in the last 6 months. I don't understand why those we elect to represent us can't use a little common sense on our behalf. Does it make sense to: -spend more than you make year after year -make a tax code so complex nobody can follow it -have legislators vote on 1000+ page bills without time for a basic review -take over health care without free market solutions included - %/ nil frnm qnm.- and not drill here others Our Founding Fathers believed that a person elected to public office should go and represent their cities and states for a term or two, then return to their lives as teachers, doc- tors, coaches, or businessmen. I will go to Washington for a term, 2 at most, to provide common sense solutions to the problems facing our country. I have a web site, commonsensetom.com, which explains in detail what we need to do for J —;,, k—l+k —r. reform n LQ�•endence, and tax code simplification.

I co -sponsored a 2009 bill that set up the state government transparency website and will continue to expand this effort. MoreTo Be Done: I am one of a growing number of legislators, business organizations and individuals that have the political will to: Identify core functions of state government. What services should Oregon taxpayers support and what services are no longer necessary? Reduce the size of government and oppose Salem's reckless tax and fee increases. Ensure our public employee benefit and retirement com- mitments are not becoming unsustainable and breaking the backs of the Oregon taxpayer.

Precinct Committeemen and Committeewomen are the grassroots representatives for the Republican Party in Oregon. A Precinct Committee Person (PCP) is the "face" of the party and an advocate for Republican political principles in their neighborhoods and comm unities. They attend regular meetings of their county Republican Central Committee in order to help set the party agenda in the county and to strategize how to spread the Republican message at the local level. What do they do? As a PCP, you have a voice in selecting Republican Party leadership on the county, state, and national levels.You may even seek a leadership position yourself. County leaders, in turn, help select the state party leaders who participate on the Republican National Committee and elect the national party leaders. PCPs also select Oregon delegates and alternates to attend the Repub- lican National Convention. PCPs are often called on by Republican candidates to help with grassroots campaigning.You may be asked to "walk" your precinct with a candidate and introducing the candidate to friends and neighbors.You may also be asked to participate in making phone calls and distributing campaign materials in your precinct.You will become the Republican Party in your community! What is the Republican Philosophy? • Republicans believe the strength of our nation lies with the individual and that each person's dignity, freedom, ability, and responsibility must be honored. • Republicans believe in equal rights, equal justice, and equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, creed, sex, age, or disability. • Republicans believe that free enterprise and the encouragement of individual initiative has brought this nation opportunity, economic growth, and prosperity. • Republicans believe government must practice fiscal responsibility and allow individuals to keep more of what they earn. • Republicans believe the proper role of government is to provide for the people only those critical functions that cannot be performed by individuals or private organizations, and that the best government is one which governs least. • Republicans believe the most effective, responsible, and responsive government is government closest to the people. • Republicans believe that Americans must retain the principles that have made us strong while developing new ideas to meet the challenges of changing times. • Republicans believe that Americans cherish our national strength and pride, while working to extend peace, freedom, and human rights throughout the world. • Republicans believe our party is the best vehicle for translating these ideals into positive and successful principles of government. This fall, Oregon Republicans will work to elect Republicans in the Oregon House and Senate, United States Congress, and the U.S. Senate. PCPs will play key roles in bringing about these victories. Join Us! We need your help. We need you to become a PCP to make the Republican Party and our nation stronger.
