Hard to spread the word and get them help if they do not talk to us.

Saw the gov.on PBS the other night running off at the mouth. Turned her off. Didn't know she was trying to arrest the publicans. I'll check a couple of sites and see if anything is going on.

Several states have the power to arrest lawmakers when they refuse to show up, in order to prevent a quorum. You don't see it done very often, but there's nothing really unconstitutional about arresting the GOP lawmakers who are on the lam. I would just as soon we stay out of this. Those state senators know what they're doing, and I doubt they want our help anyway.

This is just part of the ongoing low level conflict. I expect to see much more of this crap.

Personally, I could care less if what the gov is doing is illegal or not. The leftist/dem agenda needs to be stopped by any means necessary.

Oregon politicians sure do seem to have a flair for the dramatic, don't they?

There's a petition to recall Kate brown. I don't know how far it'll go - this online petition certainly won't count - but we'll see.

“Come Heavily Armed”: Oregon Dem Senator Threatens Violence As Governor Hunts Down Republican Lawmakers
Escalation began after Republicans boycotted vote on carbon credits

By Zero Hedge Saturday, June 22, 2019

A standoff between Republican and Democratic Oregon state senators escalated on Friday after Governor Kate Brown (D) authorized state police to track down Republican lawmakers who have stalled a vote on carbon credit legislation by walking out and refusing to vote.

“Under the proposed cap-and-trade bill, Oregon would put an overall limit on greenhouse gas emissions and auction off pollution “allowances” for each ton of carbon industries plan to emit. The legislation would lower that cap over time to encourage businesses to move away from fossil fuels: The state would reduce emissions to 45% below 1990 levels by 2035 and 80% below 1990 levels by 2050.”

“Those opposed to the cap-and-trade plan say it would exacerbate a growing divide between the liberal, urban parts of the state and the rural areas. The plan would increase the cost of fuel, damaging small business, truckers and the logging industry, they say.” –ABC13

While Oregon Democrats have a rare 18 to 12 supermajority in the House and Senate, they cannot approve the bill without at least two Republicans present. After several days of heated debate between the two sides, eleven GOP members mutually agreed to boycott the vote.

“The Senate Democrats have requested the assistance of the Oregon State Police to bring back their colleagues to finish the work they committed to push forward,” Brown said on Thursday, adding “As the executive of the agency, I am authorizing the State Police to fulfill the Senate Democrats’ request.”

(Of note, Oregon House Democrats once fled the capitol in 2001 for five days over a redistricting proposal – which Brown said at the time was “appropriate under the circumstances.)

Sen. Brian Boquist (R) didn’t take too kindly to Brown’s threat – telling a reporter he was prepared for a bloody standoff if state troopers show up for him. Boquist had previously told Brown that “hell is coming to visit you personally” if she went forward with the threat.

“Send bachelors, and come heavily armed; I’m not going to be a political prisoner in the state of Oregon, it’s just that simple,”

Oregon state senator @BrianBoquistGOP said if R’s walk out to stop a vote on Cap and Trade and @OregonGovBrown sends state police to bring him back, they should be single and well armed. Your take? pic.twitter.com/Fcu8NXXl8h

Meanwhile, Oregon’s Senate President Peter Courtney’s office told ABC13 that each missing Senator was hit with a $500 fine on Friday, which would continue daily until they vote on the legislation.

Republicans immediately pushed back.

“We will file legal action,” said Sen. Tim Knopp, a Republican from Bend who has said he has been in three states in the past three days. “If they were trying to bring us back, threatening to arrest us and impose fines isn’t going to work.”

Senate Majority Leader Ginny Burdick said Republicans have no legal recourse as the fine is explicitly written in statute. A GoFundMe to cover the rogue lawmakers’ expenses and fines raised nearly $30,000 in less than a day. State ethics laws prohibit officials from receiving gifts exceeding $50, so it’s unclear whether senators could access the money. -ABC13

State police, meanwhile, will have the ability to track down senators and force them into a patrol car to return to the capitol, though the agency promises to use “polite communication” and patience throughout the process.

If Boquist starts shooting, we imagine that could change rapidly.

Any bets that NONE has the balls to pull a trigger?

Typical politicians, all talk and NO action.

Flush Down Kate Brown. Some people are getting serious about having her recalled. Good.
