Update: NO longer a rumor. Mr Mark "I support the 2nd amendment, except when I'm not" Kelly will be making an appearance.
Nice article by Dave Workman here. He raises a few good observations! <broken link removed>

Just got this in my email alert from Gabby and the spaceman. If they do decide to roll over from Washington to Oregon for the same dog and pony show in Salem, be sure to let your legislator know you object to:
1) Letting out-of-state non-subject experts testifying on Oregon bills that do not affect them.
2) If they do speak, not to allow any more time than allowed to Oregon citizens who actually live here (Gabby got 10 minutes in Washington. I believe the average for citizens of Washington was 90-120 seconds.)

In Oregon, background checks are almost as popular as pizza.
The Oregon state legislature is about to consider a bill to establish universal background checks. But while 78% of Oregon residents support background checks - nearly as many as the 81% who like pizza - the vote in the legislature will be close and key members are still undecided.
This vote is an important opportunity to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and the dangerously mentally ill, while continuing to protect our Second Amendment rights.
Will you join Gabby and me in urging Oregon lawmakers to expand background checks for gun sales?
(insert gun-control email notification system)
Where Congress has failed to act, its up to state legislators to make our communities safer from gun violence.
Oregons February legislative session starts Monday, and its important that we start off the session with a strong show of support for this bill.
All the best,
