Republican leaders failed to produce a legitimate agreement.\u00a0 Today, all Senate Republicans protested the Senate floor session in solidarity with the three members who reached 10 unexcused

majority to justify moving forward with an extreme, unlawful, and unconstitutional agenda.\u00a0 Democrat leadership offered no solutions to rectify the constitutional and legal dilemma we raised and are instead aiding and abetting a culture of corruption.&#8221;<\/p><p>Yesterday, the Oregonian Editorial Board wrote:<\/p><p>&#8220;But as a general rule, the state shuld not be giving children an avenue for pulling away from parents &#8211; their key support system &#8211; in such a serious situation, especially since the state won&#8217;t be sticking around to help that child afterwards.\u00a0 While Democrats cast this bill as if it keeps government out of patients&#8217; medical decisions, in reality, it helps keep parents out of their kids&#8217;

legislators as well as Democrats.<\/p><p>Today we have a different story.<\/p><p>As we told you earlier, every single Republican Senator refused to show up today for the grotesque parody we have been witnessing in Salem.<\/p><p>Today, three of then reached their tenth day of \u201cunexcused absences\u201d meaning under Ballot Measure 113, they cannot run for office in the next election cycle. We have no reason to believe more will not follow in the days ahead.<\/p><p>So, before we do one more thing, let\u2019s send our gratitude to those who took the point in the the ugliest time in Oregon politics.<\/p><p>They crossed the Rubicon for us and for something the bottom dwellers in the Democrat caucus could never understand. Principle.<\/p><p>So right now, please reach out with an expression of thanks for a level of courage unheard of in modern politics.<\/p><p><strong>HEROS<\/strong><\/p><p><a href=\"mailto:Sen.BrianBoquist@oregonlegislature.gov\">Senator Brian Boquist<\/a><br \/><a href=\"mailto:Sen.DanielBonham@oregonlegislature.gov\">Senator Dan Bonham<\/a><br \/><a href=\"mailto:Sen.DennisLinthicum@oregonlegislature.gov\">Senator Dennis Linthicum<\/a><\/p><p><strong>ZERO<\/strong><\/p><p><a href=\"mailto:Sen.RobWagner@oregonlegislature.gov\">Senator Rob Wagner<\/a><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oregonlegislature.gov\/senaterepublicans\/Documents\/2023-5-15%20Weekend%20Negotiations%20Were%20Not%20Done%20in%20Good%20Faith.pdf\">Wagner personifies everything venal, arrogant, petty<\/a> and, ultimately, stupid about Oregon\u2019s modern Democrats.<\/p><p>He has no concept of personal integrity, no honor, and no interest in anything except the acquisition of power. So it\u2019s been instructive to watch him grow increasingly frazzled as his threats and bluster failed to intimidate the Senate Republicans.<\/p><p>Today he blathered on about the Constitution. Something he and his fellow Democrats have never given a damn about before and certainly have not considered as they steamrolled extremist bills they know are unconstitutional.<\/p><p>Wagner is outraged ! OUTRAGED! that Republican Senators have peacefully walked away from this disgraceful sideshow even as his ilk praise the riots and disruptions that take place when something happens his party does not like.<\/p><p>He continually refers to the passage of Ballot Measure 113 as some kind of holy grail because the \u201cpeople\u201d of Oregon passed it, never mentioning that they also passed the catastrophic Ballot Measure 110 and a series of other ballot measures the leftists in the legislature immediately went to work to overturn. The will of the \u201cpeople\u201d only counts when it aligns with his extremist agenda.<\/p><p>The \u201cwill of the people\u201d meant nothing when the people of Columbia County voted twice for a Second Amendment sanctuary ordinance.<\/p><p>But now Wagner and his fellow travelers are out of plays. The Senators they have been threatening have called their bluff and placed integrity over self interest. And cowards and liars like Wagner have no cards left to play.<\/p><p>Please take a minute to send a message of support to the men who stood up for us today.<\/p><p><b>&#8211;Oregon Firearms Federation<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b36d7b6 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"b36d7b6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f8bf059 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f8bf059\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );\">05.15.2023<\/span><br><\/p>\n<p>Today, Senate President Rob Wagner delivered a hideously hypocritical speech, once again trying desperately to mislead the public about the Democrat\u2019s disgraceful agenda.<\/p>\n<p>He even threw into the mix a quote from Lane Shetterly, a former Republican legislator, who was (and continues to be) a mouthpiece for leftist Democrats.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );\">But, today, not a single Republican came to the floor to participate in the massive fraud that is this legislative session.<\/span><br><\/p>\n<p>For some, this commitment to integrity comes at an enormous price.<\/p>\n<p>God bless every one of them.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4b6f30d elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"4b6f30d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-67cdae3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"67cdae3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>05.11.2023<\/p><p>Thursday, May 11, 2023, after a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/olis.oregonlegislature.gov\/liz\/mediaplayer?clientID=4879615486&amp;eventID=2023051106&amp;startStreamAt=257&amp;stopStreamAt=280\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-segment-action=\"add\" data-segment-id=\"0210a866-c683-11ed-9f8c-fa163e37306a\">brief poetry reading<\/a>, Senate President Rob Wagner seemed to grasp the reality that sometimes it\u2019s best not to be a jerk.<\/p><p>After once again noting that there was not a quorum, which meant the Democrats were, once again, prevented from shoving some truly awful legislation down the throats of Oregonians, Wagner adjourned until Monday.<\/p><p>You will recall that Wagner was having floor sessions every day, including unprecedented Sunday sessions, in an effort to speed up the process of punishing Republicans who don\u2019t share his twisted world view.<\/p><p>As you know, as soon as any Republican had ten \u201cunexcused absences\u201d they were subject to the truly mindless rules imposed by Ballot Measure 113, which prohibits them from holding office in the next election cycle.<\/p><p>So Wagner\u2019s decision to not hold floor sessions Friday, Saturday, and Sunday is a breakthrough.<\/p><p>Also, Republican Senator Cedric Hayden was officially \u201cexcused\u201d today even though Wagner swore there would be no more excused absences. Hayden was one of four Senators who was dangerously close to the ten day mark.<\/p><p>It\u2019s interesting to note that Hayden was also the Senator who filed an official complaint against Wagner for refusing to allow him to have an excused absence to attend church, something that, as far as we know, has never happened before.<\/p><p>In a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oregonlegislature.gov\/senaterepublicans\/Documents\/2023-5-11%20Leadership%20Talks%20Continue.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-segment-action=\"add\" data-segment-id=\"0210a866-c683-11ed-9f8c-fa163e37306a\">press release<\/a>\u00a0today the Senate Republican leader said \u201cFollowing Wednesday\u2019s leadership meeting, at my request, President Wagner agreed not to hold floor sessions this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

href=\"https:\/\/olis.oregonlegislature.gov\/liz\/mediaplayer\/?clientID=4879615486&eventID=2023041162\">Joint Ways and Means committee meeting <\/a> 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>\nDuring the committee meeting, the Ways and Means Democratic co-chairs <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OregonHouseGOP\/status\/1646950923758112769?s=20\"> audibly gasped<\/a> when Legislative Counsel confirmed that 10-year-olds would be able to get abortions without parental knowledge \u2013 despite one co-chair <a href=\"https:\/\/olis.oregonlegislature.gov\/liz\/mediaplayer?clientID=4879615486&eventID=2023041162&startStreamAt=1819&stopStreamAt=1827\">boasting<\/a> they were \u201cintimately involved with the development of this bill.\u201d\n<br><br>\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 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oregon.gov\/oha\/hsd\/ohp\/pages\/healthier-oregon.aspx\"> Healthier Oregon<\/a> 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 <a href=\"https:\/\/secure.sos.state.or.us\/oard\/viewSingleRule.action;JSESSIONID_OARD=X9vENIRQH0jK0z2mUqAFjH67m25tUHf2V7oVi-KjNaf_f9AmCoVL!1131481227?ruleVrsnRsn=270061\">no time requirement<\/a> to establish residency.\n<br><br>\n\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<br><br>\n\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.\nJohn Doe\n\n<br><br>\nHouse Bill 2002 B is scheduled for a vote on the House floor on Monday, May 1.

protecting Oregon\u2019s abortion rights post ruling on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abortionfinder.org\/abortion-guides-by-state\/abortion-in-oregon\">Roe vs. Wade. Roe vs. Wade<\/a> had no effect on Oregon\u2019s abortion laws. It is about <b>expanding<\/b> abortion to your children \u2013 without you as a parent\/guardian knowing. It\u2019s about \u201cgender affirming\u201d medical alteration experimentations for children - without a parent or guardian\u2019s knowledge - compliments of the Oregon Democrat Activist legislators. Yet, they\u2019re hiding their true agenda by telling you, the public, they\u2019re only \u201cprotecting your abortion rights\u201d. <a href=\"https:\/\/oregoncapitalchronicle.com\/2023\/04\/04\/oregon-bill-on-abortion-gender-affirming-care-clears-first-hurdle\">Oregon already allows abortion all the way to birth<\/a> - current law. Nothing changed.\n<br><br>\n \nThe truth is in the bill. Read it <a href=\"https:\/\/olis.oregonlegislature.gov\/liz\/2023R1\/Downloads\/MeasureDocument\/HB2002\/B-Engrossed\">here<\/a>.\n<br><br>\n \n<a href=\"https:\/\/olis.oregonlegislature.gov\/liz\/2023R1\/Measures\/Overview\/SJR33\">SJR 33<\/a> is the ugly sister that would solidify these bad ideas through the Constitution. Further, the proponents (or Activist Democrats) got to write the ballot title to ensure the Constitutional amendment passes! Normally ballot titles are written by the Attorney General with a back-and-forth appeals process available to help ensure accurate wording. There will be no such opportunity with this measure, thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/olis.oregonlegislature.gov\/liz\/2023R1\/Measures\/Overview\/SB27\">SB 27<\/a>.\n<br><br>\n \n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/olis.oregonlegislature.gov\/liz\/2023R1\/Downloads\/MeasureDocument\/HB2002\/B-Engrossed\">HB 2002-B<\/a> is the most extreme and partisan bill in our country. There are layers of unanswered questions created by this legislation, as well as terrible consequences that are being ignored. It also poses constitutional challenges. Democrat activists will tell you it needs to come to the senate floor for a vote and deliberation. Folks, the Floor of the Senate is not the place to vet any bills. Committees are supposed to vet bills. This bill was not thoroughly vetted in any committee and opposition to it was shut down. As with all bills going through the Oregon Legislature, the Democrats are in charge of which ones they want to move and which ones they want to die. They want this one \u2013 BADLY!\n<br><br>\n \n\nThis is a 46-page bill. The first 10 pages refer to abortions in stating that \u201cEvery individual has a fundamental right to make decisions about the individual\u2019s reproductive health\u2026to continue the individual\u2019s pregnancy and give birth or to terminate the individual\u2019s pregnancy.\u201d (Page 2, lines 16-19 of the bill). The word \u201cevery\u201d exactly means \u201cevery\u201d individual, regardless of age. A 10-year-old could, by herself, through resources at her school, get an abortion if this bill becomes law. Her parents or guardian would have no idea; however, her parent\u2019s or guardian\u2019s health insurance would be mandated to cover the cost with no deductions. The parent or guardian would never need to know.\n\n <br><br>\n\n<b>Here are just a few of the provisions of<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/olis.oregonlegislature.gov\/liz\/2023R1\/Downloads\/MeasureDocument\/HB2002\/B-Engrossed\">HB 2002-B:<\/a>\n\n <br><br>\n\n\u00b7    Any individual regardless of age can seek an abortion without her parents or guardians knowing anything about it. (Page 2; Page 4, lines 39-42)\n\n<br><br> \n\n\u00b7    For a parent or guardian to know their child is about to get an abortion or transgender medical procedures, <b>the child must sign written consent to notify the parent\/guardian<\/b>. You read that right, <b>a child must give written permission for their parent or guardian to find out the medical care their child is about to receive<\/b>. (Page 4, lines 39-42)\n\n <br><br>\n\n\u00b7    <b> Your child, the person you care for, could seek life-altering medical procedures <\/b>by having an abortion at a very young age; or secretly deciding to alter their natural bodily functions and processes and commit to life-long irreversible drugs or surgeries to satisfy his\/her gender preference, through his\/her public school resources.\n\n<br><br> \n\n\u00b7    <b>Your child would likely be referred to the nearest Student Health Clinic through his\/her public school resources.<\/b> There are hundreds of clinics popping up all over the nation \u2013 big money \u2013 big industry - for children to seek very controversial and experimental medical procedures behind their parent\/guardian\u2019s backs. (pages 9-10)\n\n <br><br>\n\n\u00b7    <a href=\"https:\/\/olis.oregonlegislature.gov\/liz\/2023R1\/Downloads\/MeasureDocument\/HB2002\/B-Engrossed\">HB 2002-B<\/a> <b>will ensure these experiments are continued to the detriment of children and their families, all with the State of Oregon\u2019s stamp of approval.<\/b> If you think they\u2019re not serious, there is a handy Student Health Center Reproductive Health Grant Fund within the State Treasury. (pages 9-10)\n\n<br><br> \n\n\u00b7    <b>Your children are being recruited through Social Media and the public schools, themselves.<\/b> OHSU is readying itself to supply the doctors for every phase of the granted procedures within HB 2002-B. . <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohsu.edu\/doernbecher\/doernbecher-gender-services\">Doernbecher has a number of Gender Clinics <\/a>offering a full range of experimental services for children to alter their gender.\n\n<br><br> \n\n\u00b7     <b>Follow the money<\/b> - Planned Parenthood, the gender clinics and all the doctors are salivating thinking of the money they\u2019ll rake in. Pharmaceuticals are poised to make a ton of money on the drugs they\u2019ll be supplying for the launching of this new industry in Oregon. Afterall, drugs will need to be supplied throughout the lifetime of the transgendered child who will be prescribed these life-altering chemicals. You will pay for it through not only your insurance premiums, but also through your taxes.\n\n <br><br>\n\n\u00b7    <b>Disturbingly, HB 2002-B deletes ORS 167.820 which would makes it no longer a crime to conceal a birth. This would<\/b> prevent law enforcement the ability to make a determination of whether the infant was born dead or alive. It would enable all kinds of creepy and criminal activity to take place. (page 43 of <a href=\"https:\/\/olis.oregonlegislature.gov\/liz\/2023R1\/Downloads\/MeasureDocument\/HB2002\/B-Engrossed\">HB 2002-B<\/a>, line 41 \u201c[and 167.820]\u201d\n\n <br><br>\n\n\u00b7   <b>HB 2002-B requires your private health insurance to pay for all expenses without deductions, for medical procedures relating to abortion or gender alterations.<\/b> Keep in mind, gender alterations are a lifetime commitment to hormone therapy, physical manipulations, surgeries, medications and everything that will be associated with the fight against a person\u2019s gender at birth. If you do not have private health insurance, don\u2019t worry, the taxpayers will cover it. By the way, there is no requirement to pay for any kind of reversal. (pages 11-12)\n\n<br><br> \n\n\u00b7    <b>Your insurance will be required to pay for cosmetic procedures without deductions for transgender surgeries:<\/b> tracheal shave, hair electrolysis, facial feminization surgery or other facial gender affirming treatment, revisions to prior forms of gender-affirming treatment and any combination of gender-affirming treatments. Again, if you do not have private health insurance, don\u2019t worry, the taxpayers will cover it. (pages 11-12)\n\n <br><br>\n\nIn other words, HB 2002-B creates a state-sanctioned secret between parents\/guardians and children, putting the state in charge of your children\u2019s health care without your consent or knowledge (Page 4, lines 39-42) and leaves you holding the bill for your child and everybody else\u2019s. And <a href=\"https:\/\/olis.oregonlegislature.gov\/liz\/2023R1\/Measures\/Overview\/SJR33\">SJR 33<\/a> solidifies it in the Constitution.\n\n<br><br> \n\nCommon sense would tell you, a child seeking an abortion without parental\/guardian influence would set off alarm bells that she might be a crime victim. Yet, there will be no such safeguards in place.\n\n<br><br> \n\n<b>Science being questioned by scientists - Altering our children\u2019s biological sex<\/b>\n\n <br><br>\n\nThe science promoting the safety and effectiveness of gender altering care (which includes puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries that are used to \u201calign\u201d an individual with their new gender identity) has been under increased scrutiny in both America and abroad. <b>Gender-affirming care is beginning to fall apart<\/b> and is under question by scientists themselves. It is controversial and by no means settled.\n\n <br><br>\n\nOregon Democrats, on the other hand, are choosing to turn a blind eye in favor of the flawed science undergirding Oregon\u2019s guidelines for gender-altering care and are even doubling down. This reveals the reality that Oregon\u2019s Legislative Activist Democrats are more interested in following an ideology rather than actual science. \n\n <br><br>\n\nThe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brainfacts.org\/thinking-sensing-and-behaving\/aging\/2018\/when-the-brain-starts-adulting-112018\">human brain<\/a> is not fully developed until well into the 30s. The Oregon children targeted in HB 2002 do not have the mental capacity to understand the permanent, often devastating, nature of these decisions.\n<br><br>\n \n\nThese kids simply do not understand that their awkwardness is fleeting because they do not have the wisdom that comes with growing up.\n\n <br><br>\n\nNo child should feel alone or coerced by schools, government or social media to choose a certain path. Instead, we should be following what Sweden is doing by recommending treatment for these minors should not go beyond psychotherapy.\n\n <br><br>\n\n<b>Europe pulls back as gender-altering medical procedures are questioned<\/b>\n\n <br><br>\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.economist.com\/briefing\/2023\/04\/05\/the-evidence-to-support-medicalised-gender-transitions-in-adolescents-is-worryingly-weakNk8avmiwFIkg==&ch=4HBSjYsWyL8Dm2iWKju_Zq0YUdOqk8jjOL2c1BnFELWh5qftNdSO3w==\">There\u2019s so much controversy<\/a> behind the effectiveness and unknown long-term risks of these procedures that other countries are pulling back on gender-affirming care for minors. \n\n <br><br>\n\nIndeed, the science behind gender-affirming care is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmj.com\/content\/380\/bmj.p382\">not settled<\/a>. Oregon legislative Democrats, led by activism, refuse to acknowledge the flaws of the science of gender-altering medical procedures. They need to be willing to fully vet these flaws in committee, and without the conversation spiraling into accusations of questioners being \u201ctransphobic.\u201d\n\n <br><br>\n\nMany countries have concluded that the evidence backing the benefits of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries is insufficient, so much so that that the costs and risks of the irreversible procedures likely outweighs their benefits for gender dysphoric children.\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/ukom.no\/rapporter\/pasientsikkerhet-for-barn-og-unge-med-kjonnsinkongruens\/sammendrag\">Norway<\/a> \u2013 The Norwegian Healthcare Investigation Board (NHIB\/UKOM) recently found that its gender-affirming care guidelines were not evidence-based and relied on cherry-picked studies. The board concluded that puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and gender-affirming surgery for children and youth were experimental and proposed updated guidelines that these interventions be restricted to research settings.<\/li>\n <br>\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/segm.org\/sites\/default\/files\/Finnish_Guidelines_2020_Minors_Unofficial%20Translation.pdf\">Finland<\/a> \u2013 The Finnish Health Authority (COHERE) conducted a systematic review of the data in 2020 and concluded that psychotherapy, or what we might call counseling, should be the first line of treatment for gender dysphoric youth, not puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, which should be reserved for rare cases. <b>The review warned of the irreversible nature of gender-affirming interventions, and how a minor\u2019s lack of neurological maturity impacts these decisions.<\/b><\/li>\n\n<br>\n<li> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.socialstyrelsen.se\/globalassets\/sharepoint-dokument\/artikelkatalog\/kunskapsstod\/2022-3-7799.pdf:>Sweden<\/a> \u2013 The Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare in 2022 sharply curtailed youth eligibility for puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, and like Finland, said <b>treatment should seldom go beyond psychotherapy,<\/b> save for rare cases.

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
