OREGON: House bill introduced that ultimately effects land use rules.

[KarenD]

If you live in Oregon, please be aware of the committee meeting on the schedule for this coming Monday: https://olis.leg.state.or.us/liz/2013R1/Committees/HRULES/2013-02-25-15-00/Agenda

Take action by telling the members of the House Rules Committee what you think of this bill that fosters voter ignorance and veils the candidates.

As it stands right now, Oregon's county commissioners file by party, and I think we all know which party, generally speaking, wants to keep us locked out of publicly-owned lands.

If passed, this law would make commissioners non-partisan and thus not allow us to get a basic idea of candidates' ideologies. Are they for small government/big freedom or big government/little freedom? Of course, looking at where their money comes from and who their friends are is a great way to discern this, and it should be done, but out there in low-information voter land, it is very helpful to know the basic info regarding party affiliation.

Karen D, I don't see anything about metal detecting, or restrictions to being on public land there, in your link. Perhaps you have the wrong link ?

You won't find the words "mining" or "dredging" in this. This would *indirectly* impact mining in Oregon, by county, via planning. No, I don't have the wrong link.

We don't want any progressive, Agenda 21, radical environmentalists getting into offices which allow them to determine land use, and quite frankly, I don't want them anywhere.

If you don't like this stuff, then go to Russia...wait a minute, this sounds like Russia, my bad!

Heh.
*******
My point is that it is easier just to not plant the noxious weed than to keep sipping off unwanted branches.

KarenD - I like your style. The "change" is happening very insidiously. One of these days in the not too distant future America will be a different place.

Exactly. Looks like a riveting read.

All govt-sponsored roads lead to servitude and depopulation.

WOW - never seen so much scary stuff on one page. And no time to react.

 

[KarenD]

The scariest stuff is HB3200, by far.

This liberal trash needs to be stopped......Lets hope people wake up!
While I do not live in Oregon I used to (Rogue River) I love Oregon especially the prospecting. I would love to at least make a vacation out of a prospecting trip back there some day.....this is very disturbing.

Good luck Oregon! This idea that the Government knows better how to spend our money and run our lives is a cancer that needs to be excised from our lives or we will end up like all the 3rd world hell holes that our ancestors risked their lives to escape.
