Mike McCarter knows his American history al stanley deutschland most as well as he knows his Bible. His family has lived and worshipped in Oregon for four stanley mug generations. The only time I lived out of the state was during the Vietnam War when I was in the military, he said.But his Oregon may not be the Oregon you re thinking of, the one with the misty rugged coastline, pinot noir wineries, and its loyally Blue politics. McCarter lives in the town of La Pine, in the state s rural and more sparsely populated part ndash; the Red side of Oregon. It s almost like the Grand Canyon goes right along the Cascade Range, he told correspondent Lee Cowan. It is a big divide. What that means politically, he says, is that the Blue part of Western Oregon always outweighs the Eastern stanley cup quencher part s Red. In talking to a legislator over in the Portland area, I said, The legislature doesn t listen to our people, our representatives over here. He said, Whoa whoa whoa, stop, Mike. We hear what they re staying. We just out-vote you. So, McCarter decided to look for greener pastures - or in this case, at least ones a little more red. Last fall, when Sunday Morning first met McCarter, he was spearheading a campaign called Move Oregon s Border. The group had been busy introducing ballot measures all across the state asking voters about the idea of pushing the urban, Blue bits of Oregon into a smaller but still populous state, and then taking the rural Red bits and creating Qvln I m not going anywhere : Northam vows to remain in office despite calls to resign
CBS Lafayette Square i stanley cup n Washington is a park mostly known for its stunning views of the Nor stanley cup th Lawn of the White House, but today it will become the demilitarized zone between warring factions. On one side, the White House, and on the other, the business community s most influential Washington power broker, the United States Chamber of Commerce. This morning, President Obama will cross the divide, both literally and figuratively, as he heads across the square to speak in the inner chamber of the Chamber itself.He s most likely looking for a reset of their testy relations over the past years. The Chamber proved to be a formidable foe - strongly opposing most of the administration s key regulatory reform achievements, health care and financial reform. It also spent tens of millions of dollars to help Republican candidates win seats in November s mid-term elections. But, the Chamber has supported the stimulus and has endorsed some other pro-business investment proposals. Recently the Je stanley nz kyll and Hyde bipolar feel of the White House-Chamber relationship came to prominence as the Chamber supported the congressional Republicans attempt to repeal the health care bill, but also put out a statement of support with their other arch-rival, organized labor, no less supporting Mr. Obama s push for new investments in infrastructure.

TRENTON, N.J. -- New Jersey lawmakers voted Thursday to override Gov. Chris Christie s veto f stanley mugs or the first time since he became chief executive in 2010 -- after more than 50 prior attempts.The state Senate voted 27-12, with three Republicans joining all the Democrats, on a bill that requires prospective gun-buyers to notify law enforcement if they seek to expunge mental health records.
