Freedom Works in Oregon is circulating initiatives (referendums) to stop the $733 million tax hike passed by the 2009 Democrat-controlled House and Senate and Democrat Governor Ted Kulonski. Russ Walker of the organization is receiving a great deal of support from local conservative KYKN talk show host, Bill Post and Walker said the process is going well. By September 9 the 55,000+ signatures required by law have been gathered but now they are gathering extras as a buffer because they are well aware that the Democrat Secretary of State will be quick to disqualify thousands of them on mere technicalities and they have every right to be concerned. The deadline is September 25 to put the tax measures up to a statewide vote in January. Any Oregonian who wants an initiative can call 503-Stop-Tax or go to StopJobKillingTaxes.com. Americans for Prosperity are also involved so anyone who wants initiatives from them can call 503-508-5948. Republican Jeff Kroft, former legislator, grass seed farmer and another talk show host in Portland, Oregon heads the Americans for Prosperity. It should be noted that Oregon is 3rd in business bankruptcies. The governor held up signing the bills for as long as possible so the process didn’t begin until the end of July. The Democrats are great when it comes to dirty tricks.

The liberal left must be worried because the recently elected Secretary of State, Democrat Kate Brown is using a team of private observers/investigators for the first time to monitor and do random spot checks of petition campaigns. The $135,000 to pay for the 10 investigators was conveniently tucked into a final catchall budget measure that passed in the closing hours of the 2009 Oregon legislative session. Please recognize that Oregon could not have balanced its budget without help from the federal stimulus to the tune of $3.9 billion according to an 8/3/2009 Statesman Journal article. Every “Tâ€

SOROS’ DEATH PROJECT

Between 1994-2004 Soros’ Open Society Institute (OSI) and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation poured $200 million in the Project on Death in America. (p. 135) In a speech to physicians at Columbia University School of Medicine in 1994, Soros told them of his Death Project. “Its overt purpose was to help the elderly and the terminally ill go to their deaths more comfortable, by providing hospices, pain reduction and other sorts of ‘palliative’ care, designed not to cure them but simply to help them relax, feel better and accept the inevitable. The real purpose was to save money…the fear is that the dying of the elderly will drain the national treasury…â€

The Shadow Party

A new book by David Horowitz and Richard Poe has enraged the Left and alarmed many conservatives. It exposes the machinations of a radical clique working at the highest levels of government and finance to undermine American power. That book is The Shadow Party: How George Soros, Hillary Clinton and Sixties Radicals Seized Control of the Democratic Party. It hit the New York Times bestseller list in its first week in print.

Here to tell us about The Shadow Party is co-author Richard Poe, our esteemed colleague at the David Horowitz Freedom Center, where he serves as director of research. Mr. Poe has written a number of bestselling books. His last two releases were Hillary's Secret War and The Seven Myths of Gun Control.

FP: Richard Poe, welcome to Frontpage Interview.


Poe: Thank you, Jamie.



FP: So what exactly is the Shadow Party?



Poe: The Shadow Party is the real power driving the Democrat machine. It is a network of radicals dedicated to transforming our constitutional republic into a socialist hive.



The leader of these radicals is multibillionaire George Soros. He has essentially privatized the Democratic Party, bringing it under his personal control. The Shadow Party is the instrument through which he exerts that control.



FP: How does it work?



Poe: It works by siphoning off hundreds of millions of dollars in campaign contributions that would have gone to the Democratic Party in normal times, and putting those contributions at the personal disposal of Mr. Soros. He then uses that money to buy influence and loyalty where he sees fit.



In 2003, Soros set up a network of privately-owned groups which acts as a shadow or mirror image of the Party. It performs all the functions we would normally expect the real Democratic Party to perform, such as shaping the Party platform, fielding candidates, running campaigns, and so forth. However, it performs these functions under the private supervision of Mr. Soros and his associates.



The Shadow Party derives its power from its ability to raise huge sums of money. By controlling the Democrat pursestrings, the Shadow Party can make or break any Democrat candidate by deciding whether or not to fund him.



During the 2004 election cycle, the Shadow Party raised more than $300 million for Democrat candidates, prompting one of its operatives, MoveOn PAC director Eli Pariser, to declare, “Now it’s our party. We bought it, we own it…â€

God help us , evil has descended on us.
