Important update

The following Facebook post from Rep Bill Post of Keizer.  Get it on the website right away.

Tomorrow (2/18) the Oregon House will take up the vote on raising the minimum wage with SB 1532. I don’t know if the other side is just dumb or they really intended this to happen but guess what one consequence is? A $10,000 a year pay raise for legislators! Yep. Here’s a story on that (oh, and in case you think that’s a partisan statement, the non partisan Legislative Fiscal Office gave Rep. Paul Evans a report confirming this fiscal impact). Rep. Shemia Fagan in the Business and Labor Committee on Tuesday night said that the stories from businesses telling about their fears of what might happen should we pass this were “hypothetical”. Yep. Folks, you don’t need to write me, either here or by email….you need to write YOUR state representative and ask them “are you voting for a pay raise?”

Myths About Malheur Wildlife Refuge Standoff

Tillamook County Conservatives:

     Malheur County is a long way from Tillamook County, but not that far.  Grazing rights, logging rights, mining rights on lands in Oregon owned by the federal government (is this Constitutional?) are in question not just in Malheur but right here in Tillamook County.  Government overreach could & does happen here, just like Malheur.

     The following article from the Capital Press comes from an agricultural perspective.  I look at it from a Constitutional perspective.  This begs the question:  do we live in a free country; a country founded on individual and state’s rights with a central government that has the permission of the people, and the sovereign states, to administer our Constitution; in other words, a Constitutional Republic?  Well, do we; food for thought?

We must dispel myths surrounding protest

It is time to dispel a few myths about what is going on.

Oregon Gov. Kate Brown sat in her office Jan. 20 and drafted a letter to the U.S. attorney general and the director of the FBI. She wrote that negotiations with the “radicals” occupying the Malheur Wildlife Refuge had failed and insisted on a “swift resolution to this matter.”

Local officials, including Harney County Judge Steve Grasty, made similar demands. On Jan. 26, they got what they asked for.

Authorities, including the FBI, ambushed and arrested Ammon Bundy and others on their way to a meeting in neighboring Grant County. They shot LaVoy Finicum dead. He was not holding a weapon.

Awful. Grasty and Brown knew what might happen should the FBI decide negotiations had failed. Few have forgotten the stand­offs at Waco and Ruby Ridge and that “swift” federal action often means people die — in many cases, indiscriminately.

It’s ironic, but the behavior of the judge and the governor goes a long way to make the refuge protesters’ case for them. Blind devotion to federal authority is terribly dangerous to lives and to liberty.

The protest in Harney County will certainly not be the last over federal overreach. Here is hoping people find reason next time, before demanding dangerous federal intervention. Continue reading
