I’ve been left no choice but to proceed with a state initiative to&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;“Ban Studded Tires”&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;in the Oregon.  This is a huge undertaking; there are no political motives or hidden agendas.  Our goal is to make our roads safe year round, protect the huge investments we’ve made in our roads and free up “wasted” money fixing the damage caused by studded tires. &lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Times New Roman;&quot;&gt;This Facepage will be use to help organize anyone interested in volunteering, donating money, providing leadership &amp;amp; experience to see the State Initiative make the ballot in 2012.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Times New Roman;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;What we need right now:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol type=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Times New Roman;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;An Attorney that can write the Proposed Initiative in a Legal format.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Times New Roman;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Locate an office space that can be used for 2 years.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Times New Roman;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Host a Website&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Times New Roman;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;A Treasurer, accounting experience necessary.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Times New Roman;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;2 people willing to put their names on the “Prospective Petition for State Measure.”  Takes 3, I’m one of them.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Times New Roman;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;HELP!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Times New Roman;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Long Term Needs:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol type=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Times New Roman;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fund raising&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Times New Roman;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Signature gathering (we will be using paid petitioners)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;font-family:&#39;Times New Roman&#39;;font-size:100%;&quot;  &gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Times  New Roman;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Please help stop special interest from running Salem.
