June 19 – 23, 2023 Action Alert! Last Week!

We’ve been hearing mixed emotions on the walkout from disappointment and feelings of surrender to feelings of minor victories from Senators who have returned.  Emotions certainly are flying high in the heat of what many of the conservative constituents viewed as “long overdue” in standing against some very bad legislation and disregard for the process/law from the Democrats. 

The longest walkout in Oregon Legislations’ history.  What was gained?  What was lost?  How does one measure success in such a seemingly flawed system?  It’s difficult when you are a minority and fighting a majority hell-bent on taking power and control over all Oregonians in the state from food at our tables to how we raise our children.

The Democrat corruption, their money-laundered campaign donations, and their stacks of cash yielded us their majority.  To think, we were only 1500 votes from separating their majority from one of shared power.  But alas, we are the minority.  We failed at taking those seats.  How can we possibly turn this around when the party remains so divided?

Is it better to attack our fellow conservatives for returning or should we be attacking those who are attacking our freedoms more?  Where should we now focus our attention?  I personally think we need to focus on how to change that minority into a majority, the weak will always follow.  In my opinion, replacing conservative legislators should not be the main focus – they are weak, however, adding conservative legislators and making this state Red should be, this will and is our greatest battle, work needs to begin now.

Some Republican Senators have not returned and disagree on providing a quorum to Democrats, even though a few of the most tyrannical bills are being negotiated and amended to made less bad.  These Senators feel that the negotiations still do not address the outright and ongoing corruption by the Democrats, the tyrannical bills, the ongoing Constitutional concerns, and the breaking of rules by Democrats.  They feel that until issues like this are addressed, they will not return.  I support them in their decision.  They are not weak.

We all still don’t know what the Governor had planned (special session?) if a quorum had not returned before 6/25.  Something to also think about.  Do we know the entire story or game plan or is there one?

The Democrats achieved a quorum on June 15 and some of these despotic bills moved through the legislative process at lightning speed much to our dismay.  Even though the session ends June 25 and some of these horrible but now amended/watered down bills will now go back to the House (who, by the way, have not walked out and cannot possibly accrue 10 absences between the 21st and the 25th), will 21 Representatives stand up?  Many of us have lost faith that such boldness is not in the blood of a conservative politician.  We all also know and realize that this point in history will not be the end of the very caustic long-term agenda of the Democrats.  They have much more in mind and their agenda is being pushed at full-speed all the while being supported by mainstream media.

Make no mistake about it, the Democrats are still after our children, our agriculture, and our 2nd Amendment rights in their strife for total power over every position of government and every role of families in this state.  They want every law-abiding citizen disarmed, to control our elections, and our complete way of life.  The true definition of tyranny is this and there is yet more to come.

It is now up to you all, the public to become acutely aware and to search for truth, for the real answers and to find conservatives that can take these seats away from the Democrats by speaking and telling truth in your social media about the Democrats, who they are, what they are after and how to fight.  The only way to stop this is to become the majority and to stop fighting ourselves.  As Senator Thatcher stated, “I urge you all to pay closer attention to the words being said and what is being printed in the way of “information.”  Watch for their “buzz” words.  Definitions have changed and nothing in reality is what you think it is.”

Below are a few newsletters from legislators, periodicals and organizations with varying opinions.  We will all form our own opinions, but at the end of the day, if we can find a way to work together, we can and will defeat this.  I firmly believe that now is the time to circle those wagons and figure out how to become the majoriy.  Let’s fight together, for divided, we will surely fail.  We truly need America to be first again!  As always, IMHO.
