For those in and around Eugene Oregon….A Testimonial for Peggy IIleen Johnson
Peggy enticed me with the idea of professional photos of myself. I figured I had been getting out into the business community so much I should have some photos that capture more than what I get with my cell’s camera. Little did I know how much goes into a pro-photo-shoot!
I arrived on time and with several outfits that Peggy suggested I bring. Then we did a little prep work and talked about what kind of look and feel I wanted to get out of this. Unsure I place my complete trust in the professionals hands, or eyes in this case.
Not only did the photos turn out wonderful, but Peggy made the whole experience fun. Nothing stuffy here. She even pulled out sample pics she had on file and had me try to strike some of those poses. That’s exactly what I thought the shoot should be like when I pictured it the previous few days before.
Peggy didn’t just take pictures, she pulled me into the camera and made me feel like a star the whole time.
If you are looking for more than just pictures, be sure to check out the www.EugenePhotographer.com Peggy IIleen Johnson
Trust the professional to take care of you when you go to a professional…Peggy is all that and more!
Thank you for the memories I will have for ever and the prints that I can share with friends, family, and business colleagues.

—————————————————————————–
Tax Day is coming on Monday. And Michael Moore has a message about why you should join with other MoveOn members and fellow progressive groups in Eugene to call out the big corporations who aren’t paying their taxes while programs to create jobs and help the needy get cut.
Dear Brian,
Do you wonder (like I do) what the tax accountants and executives are doing over at GE this weekend? Frantically rushing to fill out their IRS returns like the rest of us?
Hardly. They’re taking the weekend off to throw themselves a big party and have a hearty laugh at all of us. It must really crack them up to see us like suckers scurrying around to make sure we report everything to Uncle Sam—and even send him a check, if necessary.
The joke’s on us, folks. GE and tons of other corporations will have a tax bill for 2010 of ZERO. GE had $14.2 billion in profits in 2010. Yet they will contribute NOTHING to the federal government while every last dime is soaked from us.1
In the latest budget deal, our politicians could have tackled the deficit by stopping the flow of these ill-gotten billions to corporations. Instead they cut billions from “wasteful” programs that do “wasteful” things, like create new jobs, drive economic growth, and help the needy and our nation’s children. It’s Democracy in reverse and it sickens me.
GE spends $20 million a year to lobby Congress to throw themselves this party.2 But do you know what speaks louder than $20 million? 20 million votes! 20 million people, and more, standing together and taking to the streets. That starts now, with you.
This coming Monday, April 18 is Tax Day—and that’s the day when “we the people” will demand our country back from these corporations in events all across the country. The folks at MoveOn tell me that the nearest event to you is in Eugene. I hope you’ll be there:
Host: Katherine W—fellow MoveOn member
Where: East 11th Ave. and Pearl (in Eugene)
When: Monday, Apr. 18, 2011, at 12:00 PM
Just wanted to share some local politics that are happening.
This is from Commissioner Rob Handy
Sent today.

Dear Friends and Neighbors,
I am writing today to clarify my position on the subject of funding for Centro Latino Americano.
An article in the Sunday, April 10 Register Guard concerning an appeal for funding by Centro Latino Americano being rejected by the Lane County Board of Commissioners was deceiving. The article left the impression that there was consensus on the rejection of Centro’s appeal.
In fact, I made a motion to support the Centro appeal, a motion seconded by Commissioner Sorenson. However, the conservative majority of the Board of Commissioners voted to OPPOSE the Centro appeal, on a 3-2 vote. Those opposing the appeal were Sid Leiken, Faye Stewart, and Jay Bozievich; Pete Sorenson and I voted to support the Centro Latino Americano appeal.
This trend of obscuring facts behind biased media reporting is disturbing, as is the Board’s own effort to promote a sense of consensus where there is none. The tea party politics and tactics being practiced by the conservative Board majority is evident in recent policy changes they have ushered in.
We all must be more diligent than ever in following the votes of local elected officials. We must be informed about how elected officials are voting, and be prepared to hold those officials accountable for their votes. Those of us who work on behalf of the broadest public interest need to remain distinct from those who practice tea party conservative politics.
Thanks,
♦
