POL POLITICAL CRISIS IN OREGON'S ONE PARTY DEMOCRATIC DICTATORSHIP 2-5-2015

The Oregon House just passed the so called "motor voter" bill Friday. THIS WILL GUARANTEE A PERMANENT DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY IN OREGON FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DECADES.

Brown hasn't wasted any time in implementing her Marxist Agenda. The Democrats are saying that anybody too lazy or stupid to actually sign up to vote will still be automatically registered when they renew their driver's license. You will remember it took a popular initiative to overturn the house and senate vote to give illegals drivers licenses even though they weren't legally in the county. Kate Brown, the former Secretary of State also eliminated the "ballot secrecy envelope" in the vote by mail to make voter fraud easier for the Democrats.

Yep, Doomer Doug will give the ongoing status of the MARXIST DICTATORSHIP NOW BEING IMPOSED IN OREGON, CALIFORNIA AND WASHINGTON STATE. The radical anti gun #%%% Ginny Burdick, my House rep from Portland, is now going to push her wish list of gun safety measures to bully gun owners like she has wanted to do for decades now.
Oh boy, Dennis the liberals got their dander up in Oregon and are going to go for it all now. As bad as Kitzhaber was, Brown is even worse since she now has a "mandate" to "unify and purify Oregon." That headline has vanished into the memory hole since it is a bit too concentration camp invoking. LOL

This is freaking sickening. The whole thing. Last election, here in JoCo we had the ballot secrecy envelope. Is that no more?

The so called "secrecy ballot envelope" was eliminated, BY BROWN AS SECRETARY OF STATE, in the 2014 election cycle. It was "sold" as a cost saving measure. ROTFLMAO In reality, the vote by mail system is very easy to manipulate. We now have 300,000 new Democratic voters courtesy of Brown. Like I said the Democrats are going on the assumption now that Kitzhaber is gone they can do whatever they want.

We still had the secrecy envolope in the last election, IIRC...of course memory could be failing me but I'm pretty sure we had it. Anyway, I see everything you say. I wonder what the oath keepers around here are up to, they're involved in a lot of local stuff.

I suppose the silver lining is that by being clear about their goals and methods, this will wake more people up and get more people outraged enough to do something. What? well, State of Jefferson; recall petitions, ballot measures again, dig dirt on B.O.D. Brown and any other Dems... for starters. How about lawsuits? Reading all your news about this makes me sick to my stomach.

BW, it could be a county thing by the county election officials. I remember this in particular when I voted by mail in November. Brown has been PUSHING VERY HARD FOR ILLEGALS TO VOTE FOR AT LEAST A DECADE. She will do whatever she can to make that happen as governor.

Dennis, I am thinking a tidal wave of low level trash is going to pour into Oregon on July 1st when pot is legal. I am seeing a sharp increase in street trash, trash with two legs, four legs<G> since November. Oregon is pretty much road kill west of the Cascades at this point. Most of southern and eastern Oregon is still in pretty good shape, except for money issues.

Write it down, Brown is going to destroy Oregon in her two years and then create a permanent Democrat majority based on illegal voters, homosexuals and uber liberal morons running around Portland en mass.

Hayes is now claiming the Fifth Amendment regarding all her email now. The two men who refused to give Kitzhaber the emails have been placed on administrative leave. LOL We are, the Democrats assure us anyway, this isn't a whistleblower being sanctioned by his boss, or for embarrassing Kitzhaber by not having the emails vanish down the memory hole.

Oregon is now fully a one party democratic Party dictatorship. The Oregon House and Senate have introduced 130, yes Dennis, a total of 130 various "liberal type" bills they want to pass. For instance, I mentioned the 19 cents per gallon gasoline tax increase. This will be combined with a 10, 20, or even 30 percent utility rate increase depending on who you talk to.

The ENTIRE 19 CENTS GAS TAX INCREASE PER GALLON will not be spent on any transportation programs at all: NO bridges, no roads, no paving NO NOTHING. Instead it will be used to reduce Oregon's so called "carbon footprint" by about as close to zero as you can get. Further, the ENTIRE OREGON CARBON REDUCTION will reduce total USA carbon emissions by also about as close to zero as you can get.
Some of the more conservative Democrats, not the RADICAL MARXISTS IN CHARGE, are getting very nervous, especially since the Oregonian had an editorial pointing out that in six to 12 districts the Democrat Party registration advantage was under 2000 from the Republicans. It would seem that when your average Oregonian gets hit with such a massive tax increase, WITH NO RESULT IN TRANSPORT PROJECTS, the Democrats in those districts just might get voted out in 2016. Still the purists are now in charge of the Democratic Party and they may very well TAKE DOWN THE OREGON ECONOMY IN A SPASM OF ENVIRONMENTAL PURITY. <g>

If any of you want to know what Obama has planned for you, just keep your eyes on Oregon. Dennis, I will keep a bunker warm for you. he he he

Execution ban extended by Kate Brown

:eleph:The voters or Oregon passed a ballot measure requiring the death penalty in 1978 and 1984. It has been in and out of court for at least the last decade. The Oregon Supreme Court overturned the 1978 vote and said the Death Penalty was unconstitutional. The voters then voted the 1984. The radical leftist Kitzhaber merely decided he wouldn't enforce it in 2011, even though it was sanctioned by the voters of Oregon twice. The Leftist elite has simply ignored the will of the people/voters when "they" don't agree with it.
Kate Brown, an even more EXTREME MARXIST THAN KITZHABER WAS just said she will continue the ban on executions no matter the criminals have been convicted and sentenced. We have some criminals on death row that go back to the mid to late 1980s now. In fact, we have one guy who actually sued Kitzhaber to execute him. LOL

At any rate, the Marxist state of Oregon is well along the path to ruin on so many levels. The ongoing death penalty saga, first by the Oregon Supreme Court in 1981, then by Kitzhaber in 2011, and now Brown in 2015, show why the will of the people means little to the leftist scrum running Oregon.

By the way, gang it means little 60 percent voted not to grant driver's licenses to illegals. The Driver License 300,000 bill is a backdoor effort to overturn the recent ballot measure.

We are dealing with liberal democrats here in Oregon. THEY ARE LYING, CHEATING, DECEPTIVE SCUM WHO DO WHAT THEY WANT TO.

Doomer Doug, thanks for keeping up posting what's happening in the cesspool formerly known as the state of Oregon. Boy oh boy, it's going to get interesting.

I see there is not a lot of interest in what the liberal majority is doing in Oregon right now. I am just documenting this for people outside of Oregon for now. I will repeat: everything, the 130 bills, the carbon tax etc, are going to be test driven in Oregon first. If some of you don't think that will effect you, I will just say wait till Obama finishes destroying the US coal industry for power generation purposes. Oregon is going to remove ALL COAL FIRED POWER PLANTS WITHIN THE NEXT 5 YEARS UNDER THIS CARBON BILL. The cost will be staggering, and it is coming to as many states as Obama can get away with. Given the failure of the Republicans to fight Obama, I am thinking everybody in the USA will have a 20 cent gallon gasoline tax increase. Some of the damage is being masked by the fall of the oil price, but we shall see how much in the end.

I know those of us in OR are highly interested in this - as detestful as it is, I see silver lining in that the commiepukes are revealing themselves in the full 3-D horror show. Which as you suggest above, will turn a lot of the "moderate" aka "clueless" Dem voters away from not just the D party, but the horror show of what commiepuke-ism actually leads to.

The good news is the Democrats are now in full Imperial Overreach mode with their full agenda. The result of that may be many independents will take a closer look when their energy bills skyrocket for instance. The Independent Party of Oregon just reached official status a few days ago for one thing. The bad news is we are going to see the full loony tunes unleashed on Oregon relating to every single idiotic idea the radical left has. All of them are now going to be implemented in Oregon, or at least tried to. We shall see how the few remaining moderate Democrats, or at least the ones in competitive districts react to this tidal wave of leftist drivel. They can pretty much do whatever they want to until 2016; after that they will have to face the voters.

DD, If the citizens of Oregon make too much noise, TPTB will just import more illegals to vote to make y'all irrelevant like they have in California.

People always say just move away... But I fear that California and Oregon are just testing grounds for what will be foisted on the rest of the US. Just increase the amount of illegals in a targeted state overwhelming the conservatives voters with there numbers and voila an insurmountable majority to fully implement the marxist/fascist agenda.

One small beam of sunlight in the dreary climate of Oregon politics is the growing number of counties that are proactively standing up to the state legislature by enacting resolutions against the proposed background check law modeled after the one in Washington state. Some county sheriffs are writing letters stating that they will not enforce the law if it's passed. Alas, our county will not even consider this, but it is encouraging that others are taking a stand. For those of us stuck in Oregon, the Oregon Firearms Federation is a good source of information on what is going on in the state.

This too shall pass.
How many coal-fired power plants ARE there in Oregon?!? I thought almost all of our power came from hydroelectric?

I'm really hoping to see more strenuous movements towards secession by the more conservative counties.

OR has no coal plants afaik. And for some insane commiepuke reason, hydro is NOT considered "Sustainable". Only solar which fries birds and wind which purees birds are sustainable (whatever the eff that means, obviously not any sane person might think it meant).

We are in for it now in Oregon, gang. The Oregon House just passed the "Carbon Tax" by a much closer vote, 31 to 29, than straight Party lines would have the vote. It seems four "conservative Democrats" concluded they will be voted out of office if they voted for a 20 cent gas tax and a 10 to 20% utility rate hike.

I will remind you all this tax increase DOES NOTHING AT ALL TO DEAL WITH OREGON'S TENS OF BILLIONS IN DELAYED ROAD, BRIDGE AND OTHER TRANSPORT PROJECTS. THIS MEANS THERE WILL NEED TO BE ANOTHER MASSIVE TAX INCREASE TO DEAL WITH ALL THAT.

Portland General Electric has operated a coal burning power plant in Boardman, Oregon for the last few years. They are going to phase it out, again as part of the carbon tax scam, and replace it with a natural gas one at a cost of MULTIPLE MILLIONS PAID FOR BY THEIR RATE PAYERS. Several older dams are being taken down to save the salmon. Again, the ratepayers pay the cost of dam removal for both PGE and Pacific Power<Warren Buffet who thinks he doesn't pay enough taxes<G>> both charge their ratepayers for dam removal.

Pacific Power got a 25% rate increase several years ago. Oregon has some of the highest utility rates already. We can expect another large electric rate increase shortly. There is much discussion now in Oregon as to how badly the Democrats are going to get stomped in 2016 once the carbon tax utility rates, as well as the road taxes etc all kick in. Soccer Moms have their limits as the RADICAL MARXIST DEMOCRATIC PARTY ENVIRONMENTAL FASCISTS ARE GOING TO FIND OUT.

At any rate, Oregon is going to be, along with the gutted California under Governor Moonbeam, an experiment as to what happens when massive tax increases are imposed at the state level. By the way, the price of gasoline went up THIRTY CENTS A GALLON THE LAST FEW DAYS. We are told it is due to refinery problems in Californian. IT IS A FIRST STRIKE BY THE OIL INDUSTRY TO LET PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THE CARBON TAX IS REALLY GOING TO BE LIKE. Yep, the inmates are now officially in charge of the mental asylum called Oregon.:eleph:

Interesting, I didn't know there was a coal plant in OR. Our rates have gone up about X3 since we started paying electric bills around 2004 here. We went a few years without electricity and then they forced us to have it.

The so called Motor Voter Bill just passed and will go to Brown who will sign it. I am wondering if this is revenge/backdoor attempt to get the illegal registered even after we voted down the issuing of drivers license to illegals. I am not sure what the requirements are to get a drivers license issued in Oregon are anymore. The ongoing collapse is now gaining speed. The bills are mostly passing with a three to four vote edge with NO Republicans voting for them at all.

Oregon seems to be catapulting itself towards disaster. If there is no terrible news on the national front by the end of each day, we can now depend on the state to take up the slack. I am numb at this point. I used to think that if CA fell off the continent because of the Big Quake, we as a nation would be much better off. I'm thinking that we shall have to go, too, now. As distasteful as that might be, it might be the better end.

Hang in there everyone that cannot afford to leave. They will self destruct. All one has to do is wait.
31 of the 36 counties in Oregon consistently vote conservative and actually gave the vote to Dennis Richardson. The news about Hayneshaber debacle was deliberately supressed to make sure they would keep a Dem in place. The moment you have to do sneaky things to stay in power is the moment of turning point. They will stay on their self destructive slide--and will do more harm to their own people--than anyone else---far more than those who haave always been here and know how to survive. The tide will turn just as it is turning today in Gold Hill.
And omigosh is it fun when the political tide goes out and all you can smell is the mudflats.
We have much the same thing happening in Gold Hill today as is slowly unspooling in Salem.
I hear there is a Cali. link in all of that Salem stuff and Federal investigations and lawsuits coming right up.
Keep the pressure on to clean out the corruption. It is likely that Kate will be implicated in some of the Hayneshaber debacle.
All of the anti gun stuff is falling by the wayside as every county asserts their 2nd amendment rights.
If Kate has an ounce of self -preservation in her being she will veto that low carbon fuel thing--it will be her undoing as all her liberal buds cannot afford to drive anywhere.
Life is good. When you deal honestly with others.
I will add the latest Gold Hill news--this is just part of whats been happening from the thread I started the other day. I recommend getting involved on a local level --where you can have an impact--it will trickle upwards.

So busy watching the fun in Gold Hill since the Monday City Council meeting that I've not had a chance to even think about the forum we need.
The City Council voted to put video surveillance in City Hall--to keep track of the he said--she said-- claims all brought on by the sleaze of a city manager they hired, rather than the original proposal of cameras downtown.
The Law Enforcement meeting is scheduled after some degree of interference by the city manager--he does not want the budget committee convening--I wonder why. But that's another issue for another day.
The real fun ensued the next day. The media showed up for Mondays City Council meeting. Channel 5--true to form--interviewed people prior to the meeting and then left before the meeting was over, so they missed the real story--typical. The Rogue River Press--socialist was there--no clue what hes going to write--and no one cares anyway.
The Mail Tribune reporter was there--Buffy Pollock--the one that broke the original story about the BOLI suit filed against the City manager Hohnbaum. Harassment sexual/physical/verbal--it made a minor ripple.
I'm sure the mayor caught some flak over hiring this guy after the first article appeared.
Pollock --when reporting about the newly approved video cameras rehashed the harassment story from the original article--logical--to keep the public up to speed about one of the issues that brought about the discussion of cameras. the other issue has to do with a newly raised water rate at the behest of the city manager--which makes Gold Hill's water rate the highest in the valley and how townspeople have verbally abused city staff when paying their bills.
But none of that compares to what happened when Buffy's article hit the online edition.
The mayor decided she was going to 'set the record straight' and she signed on using her husbands facebook and said that the whole thing about the city manager's employee harassment was determined to be unfounded by the investigator they hired. That that was the outcome of the executive session of their meeting.
Not true--what really happened was an agreement to drop the suit in favor of mediation and training meetings about workplace conduct.
(Yes--she violated the rules of an executive session of a city council meeting) which breached Federal laws concerning discrimination.
Now what was a local matter has jumped a magnitude.
To add fuel to the fire one councilor who has always sided with the abusive city manager texted her chastisement to the reporter and likewise violated the law of an executive session.
Text messages are not private and are admissable in court--in case you did not know. I'm guessing she did not know.
Now the cm as of this morning has insisted that the Council reconvene on Monday so the Mayor can rescind her tie-breaker vote for cameras in City Hall or he will sue.
Not sure of the Roberts Rules of Order on this one--more research coming up.

:popcorn1: It just keeps getting better and better.
We still need a forum--so as soon as Mondays diversion is over--if we meet-- I will get back on the forum plan--because we
are far from done with needing a forum for citizens to talk about Gold Hill's needs.

They may win a couple more battles but we are winning the war--count on it.

Oregon Dems are being hung by their own petard----


Take a look at Oregons reaction to the Watergate scandal back in the 1970's. The Gold Hill City Manager will be getting a dose of his own medicine tomorrow for trying to subvert Oregon meeting law---and make the mayor rescind her yes vote for surveillance cameras in City Hall to keep his abusive antics under wraps.
He told her he would sue the City if she did not rescind her yes vote. Can you believe this cad?
All this does is focus a light on the entirety of his stinky work product.
Never fear everyone the libs are beginning to self destruct. It may not look like it some days-- but never fear the harder they fight the more tenuous the hold--truth. :lol:

On a state level we have some very astute Conservatives--that's why the Hayneshaber scandal came to light and caused Kitz to quietly slink away.
Vigilance is of the essence right now --social media and small newspapers like Willamette Week (the one who wrote the expose series on Kitzhaber) will win this war-- count on it---that's why the libs FCC cowpie has to be squelched--and there are DC conservatives on it--pray for them.
Before when the MSM was Americans sole source of news --they had complete control--and we patiently accepted their pablum---not any more.
Read this gem that was just posted on our 'GOLD HILL POLITICAL after the hack'-- Facebook group--by one of our admins.
Oregon Government Ethics Commission Agency Overview
During the Watergate scandal of the early seventies, Americans were confronted with deceit and misuse of power by elected officials. Citizens across the nation began calling for accountability from their governments. In response, Oregon was one of the first states to create laws designed to open government to greater public scrutiny.
In 1974, more than 70 percent of the voters approved a statewide ballot measure to create the Oregon Government Ethics Commission. The ballot measure also established a set of laws (ORS Chapter 244) requiring financial disclosure by certain officials and creating a process to deal with the inevitable question of conflict of interest. The drafters of the original laws recognized that "conflict of interest" is, indeed, inevitable in any government that relies on citizen lawmakers.
The Oregon Legislature changed the agency´s name to Government Standards and Practices Commission (GSPC) in 1993. The Oregon Legislature during the legislative session of 2007 changed the agency's name back to Oregon Government Ethics Commission. The OGEC has seven volunteer members. Four members are appointed by the Governor upon recommendation by the Democratic and Republican leaders of the Oregon House and Senate. The Governor selects three members directly. All members must be confirmed by the Senate. No more than four of the members may be from the same political party. The law allows members to serve only one four-year term.
The OGEC is administered by an executive director selected by the commissioners. The commission also employs two investigators, two trainers, a program analyst, and two office support staff who are appointed by the executive director.
The manner in which the OGEC reviews alleged violations of law is prescribed in detail in ORS 244.260. While it is subject to strict statutory requirements, the OGEC process is not intended to be rigid or intimidating.
OGEC staffers are available for informal questions and discussions about statutes, administrative rules and the commission’s process. Public officials are encouraged to meet with OGEC staff at any time.
The OGEC members and staff consider that they are doing their job most successfully if they can help public officials avoid conduct that violates the relevant statutes. They encourage people to inquire into any point of the statutes prior to taking any action that may violate Oregon Government Ethic law, Lobbying Regulation law or the Executive Session provisions of Public Meetings law.

This is freaking sickening. The whole thing. Last election, here in JoCo we had the ballot secrecy envelope. Is that no more?

Now to get them to fill out the ballot and mail it or drive it to a ballot box. The ballots will look the same as before as well as the secrecy envelope.
The Rubicon the Libs are trying to cross at the moment is the 1st Amendment--they've lost the war on the 2nd Amendment--the little skirmishes are being mopped up neatly.
Here in Oregon-- the 2nd Amendment is being officially reaffirmed--county by county. Take that Bloomberg--thanks for the motivation.

Our county commissioners, at least two of them, are rotten corrupt steaming piles. Our good sheriff got voted out in a filthy election aided and abetted by at least one commissioner and both newspapers, which are of course run by leftistpukes. What to do???? too many hippies and CA newcomers I guess. :-(

The Democrats are going for broke now. Some Eugene Marxist Democrat is introducing a bill for "universal background checks" on all gun purchases by anybody in Oregon. Yep, the Democrats going after guns didn't take long!!!
The Democrats have raised gasoline taxes by 19 cents a gallon to fund "carbon reduction." This money will not fix ONE MILE OF ROADWAY OR PAINT ONE INCH OF A BRIDGE OR BE SPENT ON ANY EFFORT TO RESTORE OREGON INFRASTRUCTURE. Utility bills are going to go up between ten and twenty percent. This is before the tens of billions needed for repair are raised. They have passed the so called "motor voter" bill; they are going after ALL gun sales in Oregon. Yep, Oregon is now officially a ONE PARTY MARXIST DICTATORSHIP UNTIL 2016 AT A MINIMUM.
