Ok Patriots, don't forget to set your DVR for the Daytona 500, Trump is the Grand Marshal for the race today. Let's help drive the ratings up for this event. Bill Clinton was the only President to do this before and he was booed.
Senator Kim Thatcher announced her bid for Secretary of State today at the #timberunity Convoy to the Capitol. Exciting to see a very capable Republican throw their hat in to the ring. #oregon11
As Secretary of State, Kim Thatcher will work for you — the hard-working taxpayers and small businesses of Oregon— and not use the Secretary of State office to advance a partisan agenda.
We are sending letters to every Rep and Senator opposing Cap and Trade. Will hopefully be read on the floor and will also be submitted as written testimony.

So you say voting does not matter? Well guess what Columbia County, your elected state legislatures passed considerable changes to rural zoning last session and now it is coming straight on hitting landowners in Columbia County. Columbia County Planning Division is holding learning sessions to help you understand these new, tighter regulations regarding what you can and can't do with your own property. The Oregon Legislature is stripping your rights and freedoms at every turn. Be informed, be prepared. Ready for change?
Owners of certain types of property in unincorporated areas of Columbia County will face new rules in 2021 and a series of public open houses next month will be used
What doesn't cost any money and the time commitment is just a few hours per month?
The answer is becoming a Precinct Committee Person - or a PCP!
PCPs are the first level of elected government officials and represent their very local areas of anywhere from 100-500 of their neighbors.
Here are examples of some of the responsibilities of the PCP:
• Decide local party leadership roles.
• Have a voice and vote in filling state legislative vacancies in off session years!
• Help with the operations of local parties
• Propose and vote on county resolutions
• Do outreach at community events
• Help facilitate local Get-Out-The-Vote efforts
• Volunteer recruitment and development
• Represent voters in your area.
It is really this simple and we will help you!
We need OUR PEOPLE to fill those seats. Please let us know if you are interested and/or if you have questions. We here as your local leadership for the group will be happy to answer your questions and get you signed up.
“That prompted Sen. Dallas Heard, R-Roseburg, to caution Senate President Peter Courtney, D-Salem, against a maneuver Courtney used in 2019 to get the last cap-and-trade plan out of the budget committee: commandeering the seat of Sen. Betsy Johnson, D-Scappoose, a committed opponent of the plan.
“That’s called rigging the vote,” Heard said during a floor speech Monday morning, during which he also acknowledged Senate rules are on Courtney’s side. “It’s immoral, it’s unethical. And the people of Oregon are not going to stand for it anymore.”
“In a letter to Courtney on Monday, Senate Republican Leader Herman Baertschiger Jr. of Grants Pass appeared to anticipate criticism that his caucus would likely face if they stall or kill those other priorities by walking out to halt the climate bill.
“I propose that we focus on the true intent of the short session and work on the budgets, emergencies, and fixes to other legislation,” Baertschiger wrote. “We need to live up to the intent of the short session that Oregonians voted for.”
Republicans in both chambers of the Legislature have expressed their willingness to leave the Capitol and deny Democrats the two-thirds quorum necessary to conduct business. Stress and acrimony have been building in recent weeks, with political insiders predicting Republicans could walk out later th...
Tomorrow afternoon at 1pm this legislation will receive a bill number once the House Rules Committee accepts its introduction.
What does this mean?
This bill is not going to the House Committee on Energy and Environment because we are nearly halfway through the short session, policy committees will be closing soon.
The only way a brand new bill can be introduced is by sending it directly to Rules or Ways & Means.
What can you do about it?
Call, email and visit Democratic Legislators and tell them what a bill like this would do to you, your family, and your way of life.
Show up tomorrow at 1 pm in Hearing Room E to show Legislators that you do care, you are paying attention, and you can’t afford legislation that will increase your costs of living and potentially cost you your job.
We anticipate a public hearing on this bill on Thursday, so if you can make it to the capitol that day, please do.
We can still make a difference here, but we need your help.
