class=\"elementor-blockquote\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-blockquote__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\"In less than an hour of debate in a recent Joint Ways and Means committee meeting and with minimal time for questions, Democratic leadership forced a vote on this bill knowing there would be no further opportunity for public comment than the one hearing held in March.\n<br><br>\n\nDuring the committee meeting, the Ways and Means Democratic co-chairs audibly gasped when Legislative Counsel confirmed that 10-year-olds would be able to get abortions without parental knowledge \u2013 despite one co-chair boasting they were \u201cintimately involved with the development of this bill.\u201d\n\n<br><br>\n\nRepublicans had a multitude of questions that were left unanswered. We asked about the estimated fiscal impact on the health care insurance premiums for Oregonians. The answer? We will have to pass it to find out.\n<br><br>\nHowever, as budget committee staff confirmed, we do know that House Bill 2002 B vastly expands the types of irreversible sex-changing treatments and procedures funded by Oregon taxpayers. These services will be offered through the Healthier Oregon program, which provides health coverage to low-income individuals who would qualify for Medicaid except for immigration status and who \u201clive in Oregon.\u201d According to the Oregon Health Authority, there\u2019s no time requirement to establish residency.\n\n<br><br>\n\nWe believe it should be standard practice to know how much something costs before approving it. Nothing about this bill or the approach taken by Democratic leadership is fiscally responsible. This is a long and complicated bill. It needs more input, not less.\n\n<br><br>\n\nDon\u2019t be fooled, this is not an abortion or equality issue \u2013 this is a parental rights issue. This is the state of Oregon effectively telling you that the government understands the needs of your child better than you do. This is an extreme attack on the sacred relationship between a parent and a child.\n\n\n\nHouse Bill 2002 B is scheduled for a vote on the House floor on Monday, May 1. Please call your state representative and state senator and make your voice heard.\n\n\n\nParents \u2013 the time to take a stand is now.\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div

Simply doing so will allow a majority vote to be passed and allow this terrible piece of legislation which is blatantly unconstitutional according to Oregon Constitution and the United States Constitution to be passed. \n\n\ufeff\n<br>\n<br>\n\nThis bill will make law-abiding gun owners instant criminals and serve no purpose whatsoever other than to disarm my fellow Oregonians and criminalize possession of parts clearly allowed by federal law.\n\n<br>\nI am urging you urgently do not let this bill be voted on or go through. This is a last resort to protect Oregon's Citizens Second Amendment rights which are guaranteed by the US and Oregon Constitution.\n\n<br>\n---------------------------------------------------------------\n\n<br>\nDear Representative,\n\n<br><br>\nI beg you to fight for our 2nd Amendment rights as is in the Oregon constitution and the constitution of the United STATES OF AMERICA!\n\n<br>\n--------------------------------------------------------------\n\n<br>\nDear Representatives and Senators,\n\n<br><br>\nI write this note to you all, as you are in the safety of the capitol with state troopers guarding the door, and metal detectors in operation, and to remind you that you all took an oath to abide by the constitution.\n\n<br><br>\nBy passing this bill and the others that will come before you, you are disarming the very people who have the capability to protect you, the law-abiding citizens.\n\n<br><br>\nThe laws you have in place currently are not being enforced adequately; the social programs you have enacted are not working, what makes you think making more laws will stop the mentally ill, the criminals, and drug dealers from harming the people?\n\n<br>\nRequesting you really think about what you are about to do, and hope you sleep well.\n\n<br>\n--------------------------------------------------------------\n<br>\nDear Representative Boomer Wright,\n<br><br>\nAs a constituent, I ask you to please oppose House Bill 2005 A.\n<br><br>\nThis bill seeks only to disarm us law-abiding citizens and continue eroding our Second Amendment rights without improving public safety. Criminals, by definition, do not obey the law. Criminals already violate existing laws to obtain firearms and cause carnage. They will just ignore any new decrees from the Legislature as well. Please, instead, enforce existing laws on violent criminals, hold them responsible for their actions, get them off the streets, and keep them off the streets.\n<br><br>\nHB 2005 A goes beyond existing federal laws and regulations in restricting hobbyists from making their own firearms for personal use. It is already illegal for prohibited persons, such as felons, to possess any firearms, whether home-built or factory mass produced. It conflates lawfully home-built firearms with guns from which criminals have intentionally removed serial numbers with criminal intent.\n>br><br>\nAdults aged 18-20 are old enough to vote, enter into contracts, join the military without parent permission, and get married. It is unreasonable for something to deny them Second Amendment rights. There is no indication that this group of adults contributes to crime: this bill just strips them of their rights.\n<br><br>\nWeakening preemption will only cause Oregon to have a more confusing patchwork of gun laws and their citizens across the state to not have the same rights. Allowing localities to restrict carry will also create more arbitrary zones where law-abiding citizens are left defenseless against criminals who ignore such boundaries. Concealed carry permit holders are among Oregon\u2019s most law-abiding citizens. They don't commit crimes. If they did commit a crime, they wouldn't be eligible for the permit. They are not the problem. \"\n\n\n\n\n\n<br>\n<br>\nCapitol Phone: 503-986-1409\n<br>\nCapitol Address: 900 Court St NE, H-372, Salem, OR 97301\u200b\u200b\n<br>\n Email: <a
