It is time for Oregonians to wake up and take a stand. The laws that are being pushed by our governor and senators are not only bad, they are dangerous to all of us.

  • To push for legalized marijuana is insane. Not once is anything said about the dangers of pot. It is 100 times more dangerous than cigarettes. Any politician backing this is doing it for one of two reasons: to be able to smoke it legally or to draw in the millions in taxes to spend on crazy plans.
  • Sanctuary cities or states are dangerous and should be illegal. Any politician pushing and voting for this and forbidding our law enforcement officers to help the feds should understand that they are aiding and abetting serious crime and when it occurs (and it will), should be charged and sued by the victims.
  • The fine for driving in the fast lane, except to pass, is another insane law. People having to change lanes that often will cause as many accidents and injuries as the legal pot. Of course, look at the money each of these laws brings in to those in office. 

God, please bless Oregon. Our politicians won’t.
