We are committed to getting the People\u2019s work done, not facilitating an extreme, unlawful, unconstitutional agenda.\u201d\u00a0Senate Republican Leader Tim Knopp (R-Bend)<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-055f670 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"055f670\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-cd5a9d7\" data-id=\"cd5a9d7\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-18c85c0 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"18c85c0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-md\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oregonlegislature.gov\/thatcher\/Documents\/Why%20we%20re%20denying%20quorum%20in%20Oregon%20s%20Senate.pdf%202.pdf\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Why We are Denying a Quorum by Daniel Bonham & Kim Thatcher<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\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-e88e50f elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"e88e50f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-md\" href=\"https:\/\/mailchi.mp\/electdennis\/irreversible_harm-2023-0529-10000?e=%5bUNIQID%5d\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Irreversible Harm by Dennis Linthicum<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\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-0fc6148 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"0fc6148\" 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\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-687f8f5 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"687f8f5\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4437178\" data-id=\"4437178\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-18c7238 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"18c7238\" 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><strong>Citizen Involvement.<\/strong> Your emails, complaints, reports and pressure matters.

Wagner<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Unlawful, Uncompromising, Unconstitutional Actions<\/strong><\/p>\nThe 2023 session has been punctuated with mostly hyper-partisan chicanery. Here is a list of how Senate Rules, statutes, and the Constitution have been purposefully violated and ignored by Senate President Rob Wagner:\n<br><br>\n\n<strong>1. DISENFRANCHISING PUBLIC PARTICIPATION WHILE VIOLATING OREGON LAW:<\/strong>\n<br><br>\nRob Wagner has allowed bills to pass that violate the Oregon Constitution Article 4 Section 21, Senate Rule 13.02, Oregon Statute ORS 171.134, and Legislative Councils Form and Style Manual (chapter 8). He has done this despite being made fully aware that each bill summary is required to comply with legal reading standards so the public can better participate. Even a judge said he believed Rob Wagner and the Democrats were violating this law. By violating these laws, the Senate President has abandoned the rule of law\u2014a cornerstone to a healthy democracy.\n<br><br>\n<strong>2. PARTISAN TESTIMONY TIME CONSTRAINTS:<\/strong>\n<br><br>\nRob Wagner has allowed certain committee chairs to pack the agendas so people have little time to testify. This stifles public input. At the same time, he has allowed certain committee chairs to prioritize democrats special interest groups with much more time to testify. This has a chilling effect on public participation and is antidemocratic.\n<br><br>\n<strong>3. REFUSAL TO HEAR FROM EXPERT TESTIMONY:<\/strong>\n<br><br>\nRob Wagner allows certain committee chairs to refuse invited testimony from Republicans. In one instance, one of Rob Wagner\u2019s appointed committee chairs refused to give meaningful time to a PhD who drove from Montana to talk on his expertise. This is unacceptable and speaks to the Senate Presidents persistent partisanship. Once again, this is not leadership encouraging healthy democratic participation (<a href=\"https:\/\/OregonLegislature.us4.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=253a82dbce0b48fef0fac1fd3&amp;id=a2c7477b29&amp;e=47485aa30b\">See Exhibit A<\/a> - refusal emails to Senator Linthicum).\n<br><br>\n<strong>4. TURNING NONPARTISAN STAFF INTO PARTISANS:<\/strong>\n<br><br>\nRob Wagner has allowed nonpartisan staff to be used inappropriately for partisan reasons. He allowed chairs of committees to use the LPRO staff to draft measures and amendments without informing the rest of the committee members. This makes it difficult for LPRO to remain independent of political partisanship as they are torn between informing the committee they serve, and the Chair Rob Wagner appointed. They have done this to the point where they are in violation of Senate Rule 13.11 that requires any committee measure or amendment to NOT be treated confidentially. (<a href=\"https:\/\/OregonLegislature.us4.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=253a82dbce0b48fef0fac1fd3&amp;id=419494ea59&amp;e=47485aa30b\">See Exhibit B<\/a> - Senate Republican and Independent letter March 24, 2023.)\n<br><br>\n<strong>5. NO LEGISLATIVE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR BAD IDEAS: <\/strong>\n<br><br>\nRob Wagner has allowed certain chairs of committees to run rampant diminishing public participation and accountability. For example, the number of committee bills and committee amendments in the Senate Judiciary committee, far exceed any others in the last decade. (<a href=\"https:\/\/OregonLegislature.us4.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=253a82dbce0b48fef0fac1fd3&amp;id=217b17ef87&amp;e=47485aa30b\">See Exhibit C<\/a>). This process allows them to no longer put their names on legislation they introduce. The chair of the committee thought this was funny at the beginning of session. This has become an increasing abuse of the legislative process and a problem for accountability. When Senate President Wagner allows this to happen by his appointed committee chairs, he is turning a blind eye to transparency and the public is uninformed of who is introducing legislative concepts. This increased pattern of\u00a0\u00a0behavior makes a mockery of Senate Rule 12.01(1): \"Every measure introduced in the Senate shall bear the name of the chief sponsor(s) and shall comply with ORS 171.127.\"\n<br><br>\n<strong>6. ELIMINATING PUBLIC HEARING: <\/strong>\n<br><br>\nRob Wagner has allowed an extremely partisan bill, SB 393, to pass out of committee without a public hearing. There is no greater example of driving democracy into a ditch by allowing bills to pass without holding a public hearing.\n<br><br>\n<strong>7. BYPASSING PUBLIC HEARINGS: <\/strong>\n<br><br>\nRob Wagner has used the budgeting process to fast track the most controversial bills\u2014HB 2002 and HB 2005. In doing this, he has purposefully denied the Senate and the public a voice through policy debate. This is driving democracy into a ditch.\n<br><br>\n<strong>8. UNACCOUNTABILITY OF PUBLIC OFFICE: <\/strong>\n<br><br>\nRob Wagner has completely ignored legitimate complaints that Democrats are violating Oregon\u2019s Constitution by simultaneously holding two\u00a0lucrative government positions (Article II, section 10) and in violation of Oregon\u2019s Constitutional separation of power (Article III, section 1). (See <a href=\"https:\/\/OregonLegislature.us4.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=253a82dbce0b48fef0fac1fd3&amp;id=7c163dba9c&amp;e=47485aa30b\">Exhibit D<\/a> Attorney General Opinion to Brady Adams February 10, 1998 and <a href=\"https:\/\/OregonLegislature.us4.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=253a82dbce0b48fef0fac1fd3&amp;id=f45bcd605f&amp;e=47485aa30b\">Exhibit E<\/a>, LC opinion to Senator Boquist May 22, 2023.)\n<br><br>\n<strong>9. CULTIVATING A CULTURE OF RETALIATION: <\/strong>\n<br><br>\nRob Wagner is now violating Republican and Independent Legislators Constitutional rights to free speech, peaceful protest and to practice their sincerely held religious beliefs.\n<br><br>\n<strong>10. SILENCING OREGONIANS WE REPRESENT:<\/strong>\n<br><br>\nRob Wagner killed the entire Senate Republican Equitable Oregon agenda. He did this despite Republicans and Independents representing nearly 2 million Oregonians and roughly 90% of Oregon\u2019s natural resource lands. Later, Republicans attempted to bring 75 bills to the floor for consideration and Rob Wagner led his Caucus in voting no on each of these critical discussions. This is not good faith bipartisanship.\n<br><br>\nDemocratic majority rule is constrained by laws and the provisions of our Constitution. When the majority breaks these laws and willingly chooses to ignore them, they are in violation of their sacred oath of office and trampling on the very mechanisms that maintain a healthy representative democracy. It is our duty to protect these mechanisms of the law and vigorously hold them accountable. Rob Wagner is driving representative democracy off a cliff. We will not merely be a speed bump to these reckless and partisan violations of our laws.\n<br><br>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Ending The Current  Quorum Denial is Easy<\/p><\/strong>\n<br>\nThe conditions for Republicans and Independents to return to the Legislature and allow further legislation to pass are extremely modest. A sliver of bipartisanship is all we've sought, and we can worry about solving corruption on another day.\n<br><br>\n\nHere are a few examples required for a return:\n<br><br>  \n\u2022\tMake the Bill summaries Constitutional, and follow the readability standards set by law.\n<br><br>  \n\n\u2022\tStop HB 2005 and other unnecessary gun bills like SB 348. Agree no further attacks on the 2nd Amendment in Oregon through at least 2027.\n<br><br>  \n\n\u2022\tStop HB 2002 and its assault against Parent's Rights. Parents and legal guardians should come first, not state bureaucrats.\n<br><br>  \n\n\u2022\tAgree to return to taxpayers their full due of $5.5 billion (AKA - Kicker monies)  in the form of check this year. \n\n<br><br>\nStand with me to defend families, parents and their children!\nYour support is vital for Oregon's future!\n<br><br>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/oregonlegislature.us4.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=253a82dbce0b48fef0fac1fd3&id=39d3168c32&e=47485aa30b\">Contribute Today!<\/a>\n<br><br>\n\nIf we don't stand for rural Oregon Values and common-sense...

bipartisan bills and the state budget. But the Democrats in control would rather sacrifice bipartisan legislation on wildfire, behavioral health, housing, and education in favor of an agenda that is unlawful, uncompromising, and unconstitutional. HB 2002 is an attack on the innocence of children and Oregon families. They are holding the issues that matter most to hard-working Oregonians hostage.<\/p><p>My quote in a recent New York Times\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/06\/04\/us\/oregon-legislature-republican-walkout.html?fbclid=IwAR3HQhmy9M9ajABXa_p9VEHAWMnbznp_F2_mnLENdxAei1rmb_s60p96Kto\">article<\/a><\/strong> about the walkout: &#8220;&#8216;Taking this stand was a moral obligation for me,\u2019 Mr. Bonham said. He said that when he left the Senate chamber, he purposely left a Bible on his desk there, open to a passage in which Jesus says that anyone who causes a child to stumble should perhaps be drowned with a millstone around his or her neck.&#8221;<\/p><p>The Bible does not mince words in Matthew 18:6, for a reason.

As I mentioned in a prior newsletter, Oregon tends to vote for Democrats on the federal level, but that&#8217;s not the case with statewide issues and candidates &#8211; where we are more balanced. <br \/>For example, our current governor won with only 47% of the vote &#8211; meaning more people wanted someone else to be governor. This, despite the fact that she spent more than $8 million more than her closest opponent to squeak out the victory last Fall; a sign that we are a more balanced state than some think.<br \/>Yet our redistricting process was painful and partisan, as special interests and carve outs were prioritized over Oregonians. We ended up with a map that does not reflect fair representation in Oregon.

Leader Knopp reiterated that Wagner is knowingly and willfully violating the readability standard explicitly laid out in Senate Rules, Oregon statute, and the Oregon Constitution. He stated: \u201cThey\u2019ve chosen to try to force unlawful bills, unconstitutional bills across the floor, and we are not going to allow that to happen.\u201d<\/p><p>Leader Knopp told the reporter that Republicans are willing to end the protest if staff rewrites bill summaries to comply with the law, and if Democrats set aside their most extreme bills whose summaries similarly don\u2019t comply with the law.

However, -1 amendment stops all operations upon renewal of license until adequate study is completed and addressed through laws and rules. It is written as if the study was already shown to need restrictions, so any study will be geared towards controlling CAFO, and not an objective study of what they are already doing right. Directs the Department of Environmental Quality and the State Department of Agriculture to not issue or renew a license or permit to allow the construction or operation of new industrial CAFO, additions or expansion of existing CAFO, or additions or expansions of existing livestock farm that would cause it to become an industrial CAFO. The definition of CAFO would apply to any large farming operation. The supporters of this bill do not understand farming operations or how much this would impact the food chain. Food prices are high now, this bill affects beef, pork, dairy, chickens, laying hens, turkeys, ducks, milk, cheese, eggs and all the by-products. Any study restricting farming practices will have a domino effect on the economy, impacting low income and homeless the hardest.\"\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div

Basically they would be outlawing AR firearm\u2019s UPPER receivers which were never required to have serial numbers, while ironically ignoring the parts they think they are banning.\n<br><br>\nIf Knopp and the Republican Senators fall for this deal they will have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory to placate the left wing media and once again stuck it to gun owners.\n<br><br>\nPlease

Update.\n<br>\n06.07.2023\n<br><br>\nYesterday, the state presented an \u201cexpert\u201d witness who hilariously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BJhXpukUV_Y\">claimed that it takes 5 seconds or more to change a magazine<\/a>\n<br><br>\nThis false and absurd statement was made in an effort to convince the court that low capacity magazines will protect people in mass shootings by giving them time to run away.\n<br><br>\nTo make his clearly ridiculous point, he theatrically and slowly counted down, 1\u2026.2\u2026. 3.. and then commented on how many people could have run away in that time.\n<br><br>\nThe \u201cexpert\u201d made other equally and unfounded comments as the state continues to try to divert the court from the real issue of whether Measure 114 is constitutional.  Instead, they continue to make arguments that the US Supreme Court has already ruled irrelevant.\n<br><br>\nAt the heart of the state\u2019s argument is their bizarre position that magazines are not \u201carms\u201d and therefore can be regulated and banned.\n<br><br>\nOf course, the logical extension of that position is that ALL magazines can be banned by a vote of the masses or the legislature rendering modern firearms useless.\n<br><br>\nWhether the judge recognizes the magnitude of this very dangerous idea remains to be seen, but OFF\u2019s witness, Damian Bunting, a private security professional, was able to make the point brilliantly and silence the state\u2019s lawyers when he was asked whether he would switch to ten round magazines if the court allows this clearly unconstitutional measure to become law.\n<br><br>\nWhen he replied that he would not, the state\u2019s lawyer was thrown off her prepared statements and searched her notes for what to say.  Was Mr. Bunting admitting he would break the law?\n<br><br>\nIt was then that Bunting accurately pointed out that any magazine for any of the firearms he carried would make him a criminal.\n<br><br>\nNo matter how this judge rules, she is now on notice and cannot avoid the fact that she knows this measure will (among many other things) outlaw virtually all firearm\u2019s magazines. It is simply impossible to imagine how anyone could consider that constitutional.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-q-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\"elementor-blockquote__author\">--Oregon Firearms Federation<\/cite>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Federal+Trial+Update.%0A%3Cbr%3E%0A06.07.2023%0A%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3E%0AYesterday%2C+the+state+presented+an+%E2%80%9Cexpert%E2%80%9D+witness+who+hilariously+%3Ca+href%3D%22https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DBJhXpukUV_Y%22%3Eclaimed+that+it+takes+5+seconds+or+more+to+change+a+magazine%3C%2Fa%3E%0A%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3E%0AThis+false+and+absurd+statement+was+made+in+an+effort+to+convince+the+court+that+low+capacity+magazines+will+protect+people+in+mass+shootings+by+giving+them+time+to+run+away.%0A%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3E%0ATo+make+his+clearly+ridiculous+point%2C+he+theatrically+and+slowly+counted+down%2C+1%E2%80%A6.2%E2%80%A6.+3..+and+then+commented+on+how+many+people+could+have+run+away+in+that+time.%0A%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3E%0AThe+%E2%80%9Cexpert%E2%80%9D+made+other+equally+and+unfounded+comments+as+the+state+continues+to+try+to+divert+the+court+from+the+real+issue+of+whether+Measure+114+is+constitutional.++Instead%2C+they+continue+to+make+arguments+that+the+US+Supreme+Court+has+already+ruled+irrelevant.%0A%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3E%0AAt+the+heart+of+the+state%E2%80%99s+argument+is+their+bizarre+position+that+magazines+are+not+%E2%80%9Carms%E2%80%9D+and+therefore+can+be+regulated+and+banned.%0A%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3E%0AOf+course%2C+the+logical+extension+of+that+position+is+that+ALL+magazines+can+be+banned+by+a+vote+of+the+masses+or+the+legislature+rendering+modern+firearms+useless.%0A%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3E%0AWhether+the+judge+recognizes+the+magnitude+of+this+very+dangerous+idea+remains+to+be+seen%2C+but+OFF%E2%80%99s+witness%2C+Damian+Bunting%2C+a+private+security+professional%2C+was+able+to+make+the+point+brilliantly+and+silence+the+state%E2%80%99s+lawyers+when+he+was+asked+whether+he+would+switch+to+ten+round+magazines+if+the+court+allows+this+clearly+unconstitutional+measure+to+become+law.%0A%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3E%0AWhen+he+replied+that+he+would+not%2C+the+state%E2%80%99s+lawyer+was+thrown+off+her+prepared+statements+and+searched+her+notes+for+what+to+say.++Was+Mr.+Bunting+admitting+he+would+break+the+law%3F%0A%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3E%0AIt+was+then+that+Bunting+accurately+pointed+out+that+any+magazine+for+any+of+the+firearms+he+carried+would+make+him+a+criminal.%0A%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3E%0ANo+matter+how+this+judge+rules%2C+she+is+now+on+notice+and+cannot+avoid+the+fact+that+she+knows+this+measure+will+%28among+many+other+things%29+outlaw+virtually+all+firearm%E2%80%99s+magazines.+It+is+simply+impossible+to+imagine+how+anyone+could+consider+that+constitutional.%0A+%E2%80%94+--Oregon+Firearms+Federation&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fightfororegon.com%2Fwordpress%2Fwordpress%2Findex.php%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F1681\" class=\"elementor-blockquote__tweet-button\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fab fa-twitter\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-blockquote__tweet-label\">Tweet<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-474539b elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"474539b\" 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-b0ff4d9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b0ff4d9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"SB891\" 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><strong>ALERT<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/olis.oregonlegislature.gov\/liz\/2023R1\/Measures\/Overview\/SB891\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-link-type=\"web\" data-segment-action=\"add\" data-segment-id=\"0210a866-c683-11ed-9f8c-fa163e37306a\">SB 891\u00a0Eliminates residency requirements for assisted suicide<\/a><\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Work Session held on 3\/29 in Senate Committee on Judiciary.
