Just this week, the Oregon Senate voted to STRIP VOTERS OF THE RIGHT TO VOTE in an election to fill a vacant U.S. Senate Seat — which is current law. Senate Bill 952 would change the rules by letting the GOVERNOR DECIDE FOR THE VOTERS ON WHOM THEIR SENATOR SHOULD BE. With U.S. Senator Ron Wyden looking more frail than ever before and announced plans to run for re-election in 2028 — this bill may be prophetic.
THE GOVERNOR WILL CHOOSE YOUR CANDIDATE FOR YOU- Senate Bill 952 strips voters of the right to vote in U.S. Senate replacement elections. Cant vote for the candidate to represent you!!
STEAL YOUR KICKER TAX FOR YOU WITHOUT A VOTE!
• House Bill 1177 would by force steal the people’s kicker tax refund without a vote and DESPITE THAT ITS IN THE CONSTITUTION That bill had a speedy hearing so you wouldn’t notice your rights are being debated away. NO MORE KICKER!
• Gov. Kotek drafted House Bill 2528 would empower her agencies to extend taxes and ban products related to nicotine and TO DO SO WITHOUT A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE or the people’s elected representatives. People opposed this idea 9-to-1 and yet it is still being pushed.
• Senate Joint Resolution 30 would slow-down and Increase number of signatures needed to put a citizen measure on the ballot by as much as 33% and also require signature gathering jurisdiction requirements.
SB 687 WOULD REMOVE VOTER APPROVAL of local gas taxes.
• HB 3166 would strip political parties of the ability TO FULLY NOMINATE THEIR OWN CANDIDATE while forcing rank-choice voting on Oregonians despite that the fact that the rank vote scheme was rejected by Oregon voters just months ago in the November 2024 General election!
