[QUOTE=892504x4;18571721]Good evening Jim.
We had a good day visiting with family and friends today.
Made what I thought would be quick stop at Bi-Mart and Renee found this. [/QU
Good afternoon Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Busy day getting ready for gun bill hearings in Salem tomorrow. Meeting with a couple of other fellows in a few minutes.
Mom's 92nd birthday and the shake down cruise on the rebuilt boat motor went well. Motor was smooth and purred like a kitten. More later.
Good morning everyone. 52° and rainy here. From the looks of the forecast I’ll probably be putting off the new landscaping projects that Jackie told me I’m doing until a later weekend.
Jim, go give the Democrats a piece of our mind today! I sent off my email testimony.
Morning all. There are some days I wonder why I even show up to the office....
Chris, any day you can come home with a new firearm is a good!
Jim, Give em hell! Something I learned by following Bill Post, if you're on social media, use the hashtag #orpol and everyone in the capital will see it.

Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Wet, rain showers and up to 49.
Spent over 12 hours in Salem yesterday. Even visited a with a few Reps up in the Office tower. Had a nice chat with the Op4, Brad Witt and then had an office sit down chat with Mike Nearman. Didn't have time to get over to the Senate Offices
We, (the opponents) of the omnibus bill SB 798 easily outnumbered the proponents by 20 to 1. Looking at some of the reports I've seen, you would never know it. At 0720 we had the hallway packed and there wasn't a single red shirt proponent in sight. Once again though, the red shirt Bloomberg group 'Mom's Demand Action' violated the rules and I'm sure they had help. You are not allowed to reserve seats or have signs in the hearing room. Get in the hearing room and they had the entire front row of seats marked with reserved signs. And, once again they got away with putting on the bright red, Bloomberg paid for, Mom's Demand Action Everytown for Gun Safety T-Shirts, with just about all of them being put on over the top of other clothing and NOT as primary wear. Some of their group organizers had big boxes of the T-Shirts they put on the proponent sign in table so they could grab one and put it on before going into the hearing room.
New tricks! Prozanski cut the hearing off 15 minutes early because they had no one left to testify except those of us who were there to oppose the bill. It also appears they added a couple of additional amendments for consideration the bill WHILE we were in the hearing with no opportunity to review them or testify against them.
They also have a second "place holder" bill that they have slipped onto the schedule for a hearing on April 8th. This SB 979. https://olis.leg.state.or.us/liz/201...Overview/SB979
So far this bill is still just a "place holder" ripe and ready for their sneaky underhanded "gut and stuff" tactics.
Here is the hallway out side the hearing room 15 minutes BEFORE they even showed up with the sign in sheets and opened the doors of the hearing room. It packed in almost double before they got there with the sheets and opened the hearing room up. Sorry for the poor quality. All I had was my Mil-Spec flip phone and apparently something in the lights they use really raised havoc with the camera on it, even with the flash turned on.
I got within a couple of feet of the governor. I've taken 5 showers since I've gotten home and I am still picking up a strange unknown odor. May have to go out to the farm and see if we have any sheep dip left.
