OREGON OBSERVATIONS.2 5 MAY 2023

Oregon Republican senators walk off floor ahead of abortion, gun votes. Regardless of the reason given (or NOT given) for the walkout, in the words of Rhett Butler – “Frankly Scarlett, I don’t give a damn,” I’m just glad it happened. I have no idea how many of us’ve written Republican senators and representatives begging them to reemploy the tried-and-true walkout to deny a quorum and stop Democrats and their WP legislation in its tracks. While Measure 113 would create a career hiatus after 10 unexcused absences during a session, the sacrifice of any Republican lawmaker won’t go unnoticed. Let’s face it. The state doesn’t pay them a living wage and then expects them to go to Salem and put up with the social justice, anti-gun rhetoric flowing out of the capital building. I certainly couldn’t do it, and daily I applaud any Republican or Independent who has the resolve to put up with the Democrats’ bullshit day in and day out.
