Oregon Another back door move by liberals

PiratePast40 · Jun 18, 2023

Legislation that does not seem to affect firearm rights can have a profound effect, and we should be aware of what's going on. Ranked choice voting is up for another hearing/work group on Tuesday. HB2004 would allow ranked choice voting. Proponents claim that it makes voting as easy as choosing an ice cream flavor. It actually dumbs down voting process and makes it easier to stack votes in your favor. It's ideal for those that don't want to actually learn about the ramifications of their vote but just like having warm fuzzy feelings. Do yourselves a favor and read some of the testimony. If this passes, it ensures that we'll have a liberal government for the foreseeable future.

During the same hearing, HB2107 will also be open to testimony. It's another voter registration grab by the ultra left that will allow voter registration via Oregon Health Authority. Read the testimony yourself to see some of the ramifications. Bills like this are the camels nose under the tent. We already have significant issues with election integrity. Laws like this makes it even easier to stack the deck.

Both of these bills are examples of how the left seizes and solidifies power. At the very least, submit testimony and make some phone calls. These two are more reasons for the House to walk out to deny quorum.

If we ignore these bills, don't be surprised when the nooses get even tighter.

walking out is a cry baby move. don't like the rules, get out and let someone else fight. they are paid to do their job and if they don't they should be kicked out. this is for BOTH sides.

Republicans up and down the ballot across the country do really well under ranked-choice voting. In fact, it's not a partisan policy.

Hardly - when your vote has zero effect in the legislative houses, but walking out can determine whether or not the vote can take place, then walking out is the ONLY option if you strenuously oppose pending legislation. Staying to fight is the dumb move.

They never stop do they? And as far as voting, do you trust a fox in the hen house to keep your chickens safe?

The requirement for a quorum is in the rules. Your post is kind of ironic, if you think about it.

So you agree with arranging, without parental consent, the cutting out of the breast tissue from a young girls chest? Giving puberty blockers to young developing male children to turn their reproductive organs into little shriveled up adipose tissue hanging from his groin area?

Turns out it seems it didn't matter anyway seeing as some of the so called "Representatives" decided they think it's okay too.
