[]tmarkowitz Oregon Republican SB1: I am sponsoring this bill because this will keep America much safer at a much cheaper price and much easier less scarier way for Americans. The Oregon Congressman most like me in my opinion is __**Ron Wyden**__. Even though he is a Democrat and I'm a Republican we both agree on the issue of tobacco and how dangerous it can be.

I found out a lot of interesting facts about the state of Oregon. The first I found was that it was the last stop on Louis and Clarke's expedition. It is also home to the famous Crater Lake which was created after some mountains collapsed inward. It is also the deepest lake in the U.S. and covers an ancient volcano. Of course the famous Oregon trail leads to Oregon. Oregon has more ghost towns than any other state.

1. Over the last couple of years since 2006, taxes for basic things have gone up by 2 times. 2. Pollution of national parks has gone up. Even in Crater Lake in Oregon. 3.

1. Since 2006 basic taxes like schools and transportation have doubled. It would be nice if those were reduced. 2. The radiation from Japans disaster is coming across the Atlantic. This causes worry of sickness. It would be great to find a way to stop it. Or reduce it. 3. Tobacco has made many people sick. It kills thousands of Americans every year.
