This is it ladies and gentleman. It's time to grow some more grassroots. We need to set aside our differences and unify our efforts to minimize the damage to our gun rights that is occurring in the State of Oregon. Let's face it we are outnumbered and our gun rights will not come out of this unscathed. We need to be creative and come up with force multiplying techniques to help equalize our disadvantaged position. Encourage others to join in and initiate their own efforts as well. Northwest Firearms is only a small part of the community and this fight can not be successful with out broad support from around the State.
This morning I would like to suggest an important but relatively easy task nearly everyone can do. I have compiled the following list of the top 5 plus 1 State Senators who won their district seat by the lowest margins. If 4 of these 6 Senators would join all 12 Republican Senators on any particular anti-gun bill, it could be stopped. I encourage you to write a letter, call or otherwise communicate with these individuals and try to convince them to vote against the most egregious of these anti-gun bills. IMHO they will give the most consideration to constituents that will aid their chances of staying in or being reelected to their seat. Learn about the Senator and use creativity when drafting your communications with them. They have heard from minors on one side of the issue but maybe not from our side.
Here's the Top 6 Democrat State Senators who should hear from us widely and repeatedly.
1. Jeff Golden District 3 won seat in 2018 with 55.1% of total votes.

2. Arnie Roblan District 5 won seat in 2016 with 48.24% of total votes. This was a squeaker of a race and he won by less than a 1% margin. Highest priority!

3. Laurie Monnes Anderson District 25 won seat in 2016 with 55.16% of total votes.

4. Lee Beyer District 6 won seat in 2018 with 59.1% of vote. Air Force Vet.

5. Chuck Riley District 29 won seat in 2018 with 59.3% of total votes. Air Force Vet.

6. Betsy Johnson District 16 won seat in 2018 with 82% of totals votes but she has split with her party in the past.

I realize these Senators have voted for anti-gun measures previously and I am open to adding or adjusting this list if better targets are provided. It's just a bad situation in this state. You don't realize how bad it is until you drill down in to the numbers. The other side not only has advantage in numbers but also in media and corporate favoritism. This will be an ugly year for us, we can only do our very best to make it less so. Our voices have to be heard and heard often around the State
