Letter body: 

President Obama was elected on promises of “hope” and “change.” We’ve definitely seen the change, but we haven’t yet found the hope.

Thousands of people are breaking into America’s house through our southern door; the national debt will soon be double the $10 trillion it was six years ago; more than 100 million able Americans can’t find work; record numbers are living in poverty, and there are numerous unanswered scandals, including using government agencies to intimidate the president’s opponents.

The administration is lying about its failing health care plan and a foreign policy that’s made the world a more dangerous place, to further its agenda. America is now a laughingstock when it comes to anything our administration says.

Democrats have been in control in Washington for nearly six years and Obama vacations, attends fund-raisers and seems totally disengaged.

In Oregon the governor who took an oath to defend our laws says he won’t enforce the death penalty (or any other law he disapproves of) and has proposed giving illegal immigrants driver’s licenses without their having to meet legal requirements Oregonians must meet. He also didn’t instruct our attorney general to defend our voter-approved one man/one woman marriage law (which was overturned by a homosexual judge who was recommended by Oregon Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley).

Democrats have been the majority political party in Oregon for decades. Hope will be long in coming to Oregon and to the United States so long as Democrats remain in the majority.
