Here in the State of "Tyranny", formerly known as "Oregon", we have a very interesting and disgusting situation going on.
Let me give a quick background.
We have a very liberal Dimocrat governor (Kate Brown).
Both of our legislative chambers are ran by Dimocrats, and in fact they have a super-majority in BOTH chambers.
They pretty much can do whatever the fuck they want, and Republicans can only sit and watch. Even when all GOP lawmakers agree to stick together and vote as a block, they're votes are useless to stop this insane progressive agenda.
That is until yesterday...………………………………………………………………..
The fucking Oregon House Dims passed a radical cap and trade bill that is going to skyrocket fuel taxes, and shut down some industries as well as increase power rates across the board.
The bill went to the state Senate, which as I mentioned earlier is controlled by a Dim super-majority.
A celebration was all set up, since everyone knew it was just a formality for the Oregon Senate to send the bill directly to the leftist nut governor who would quickly sign it.
Problem is, NONE of the Republican state Senators showed up for the vote, and since they needed at least two to cast their NO votes, before the Dims could steam roll the bill through, the vote never took place.
Now is where it gets just fucking bizarre.
The governor had her lawyers check to see if she could sent the State Police to arrest at least two of them and bring them back to the capitol.
Reports are that the GOP Senators may all have left the state.
This is the only tool available to stop this tyrannical rule that has been going on all this legislative session.
I am proud of these Republicans, and hope they remain standing tall !!
Oregon sends police to bring back Republicans who left state over climate bill
[QUOTE
Washington (CNN)Oregon Democratic Gov. Kate Brown on Thursday authorized state police to locate Senate Republicans and bring them back to the state Capitol after some left the state to block the chamber's proceedings.
After more than eight hours of fruitless negotiations late into Wednesday night, Republican state senators in Oregon walked out of a session on Thursday over disagreements on HB 2020, a cap and trade climate bill. All 11 GOP senators failed to appear later Thursday for floor proceedings, leaving the legislative body two senators short of a quorum, according to Kate Kondayen, a spokeswoman for Brown.
At least some of the senators have left the state, according to a statement from the Oregon Senate Republicans, and the wife of one of them says they are all in Idaho at an undisclosed location.
"They all left and are in Idaho. I don't have a way of contacting him," Peggie Boquist, wife of Oregon GOP Sen. Brian Boquist, told CNN when asked the location of her husband.

I would suggest that the conservative runaways do their jobs.
Elections have consequences.
Also, as typical of conservatives To bloviate bullshit Cap and Trade laws don’t run anyone out of business. If you want to pollute, you will have to pay for it.
Lol
21 June.... Fucking global warming!
LolLol
21 June.... Fucking global warming!
Please stop with the local weather verses global climate.
It just makes you look stupid.
There is climate change... and man has nothing to do with it. Fact
LolLolLol

Please stop digging further into your personal stupid.
Because it's a bad idea, moron.Dude, it’s not an extreme bill. Other states and countries have Cap & Trade policies.
You just don’t like it because your party didn’t propose it.

Cap and trade is not the way. It punishes people by raising the prices of energy. Meanwhile big polluters can simply pay an "indulgence" fee to cap and trade politicians. So how serious are they about pollution? Not all that serious.Because it's a bad idea, moron.Dude, it’s not an extreme bill. Other states and countries have Cap & Trade policies.

Good to hear that you’re for more regulation of polluters to reduce emissions.

What a wonderful childish notion...that we can spur amazing technological advances that will save the planet (even though it's not at all clear the planet is in existential danger) by making it tough for the average middle class family to get by. If a criminal gang did that, threaten someone to magically come up with entirely new non polluting forms of energy or the Jones family will get it, we would send the person making those threats to prison.How would Cap & Trade rise the energy costs of renewable energy sources such as solar?
Lowering the cap over time would cause polluters to innovate or die.

You don't know what you're talking about.
These Republicans ARE doing their jobs. They are representing the people of their districts that want no part of this draconian extreme bill.
This is the only way they now have of fighting them. The tyrannical super-majority would steam roll this bill in an instant, and send it to the leftist governor for signing.
This kind of extreme bills need to be in front of voters, and then we will see how the people truly feel.
The Democrats are cowards when it comes to the vote of the people. They are afraid of us.
Climate change that it is man-made.Lol
21 June.... Fucking global warming!
That’s what happens to good people living in rural areas when a single fuck-up liberal city is allowed to rule the state.Lol, if they have all but 12 seats I'd say they represent the will of the people by a large majority.Sounds like the Dims are holding the state hostage.12 people holding the whole state hostage. Definitely sounds like a GOP tactic.Here in the State of "Tyranny", formerly known as "Oregon", we have a very interesting and disgusting situation going on.
