For those who don't know what this is about:

Yeah, this is some pretty pathetic stuff, but it gets worse:

Wow! The GOP senators have a lot of friends. $32,255 of $49,500 goal already raised for their behalf.

Fundraiser by Carol Williams : "Encourage the Walking Senators"

UPDATE #2: I have just been informed that Kate plans to fine the Senators $500 per day for every day they are out! This is outrageous.

UPDATE #1: The senators have walked. Our goal only provides $500 per person. Please help our courageous senators. (our goal was adjusted to cover any unjust fines that may be levied)

Our senators are prepared to walk out in order to not allow the Super Majority to pass the dangerous Cap & Trade Bill (HB 2020) that will harm all Oregonians. They will need to leave the state. Please support their decision to protect your family against this disastrous bill. All money raised will pay for expenses for the senators. The ruling majority has prohibited them from raising funds on their own. all donations will be returned to donors if they are able to get an agreement and not walk.

Senators that will benefit from these funds are: Herman Baertschiger, Cliff Benz, Brain Boquist, Fred Girod, Bill Hansell, Dallas Heard, Tim Knopp, Dennis Linthicum, Alan Olsen, chuck Thompson, and Kim Thatcher.


Expenses that may be paid are traveling expenses, or any other expenses needed while out of state, or unlawful fines imposed by Kate. I will be withdrawing funds into my own personal account and they will then be funneled to the senators through the methods that are approved by Oregon state law. I am working with a family member and other Oregon Senate employees to get the funds dispersed in the appropriate and legal manner.
 
Cap and trade: What could Oregon’s carbon policy cost you? - oregonlive.com

As a Californian, I have nothing but empathy for the people who will be soon facing higher gasoline costs and rural residents who have to travel farther than most will feel it even more.

“The bill makes the urban-rural divide stronger than ever because the biggest polluters are in Oregon’s large cities,” said Senate Republican Leader Herman Baertschiger, Jr., R-Grants Pass. “It is fundamentally inequitable to put the responsibility of cleaning up their pollution on the backs of rural Oregonians.”
 
Cluster ****ed.

First of all, nice of you to bypass the word censor in the most obvious way possible. :lol:


Failing to show up for a vote isn’t a crime so I wonder why the police would even be amenable to trying to “apprehend” the congressmen (or whatever they are).

am I missing something....

Nope, except a portion of those recalcitrant Republicans and threatening militia members are Hispanic, Native American and mixes. A few are even, (dare I say it) Black. Weird, huh?

Dave Stewart, not Annie Lenox's former husband, but one of the Vermont representatives to the Iroquois Tribal Council, and a Republican, has announced he's going to run for Bernie Sanders' seat. His campaign motto, "I'm kinder than shooting that old bugger in the head." Damn. Fortunately there are a half dozen or so other contenders from both parties. Vermonters are strange.

The real terrorists in this country, white, christian right wing extremists. **** those dumb redneck trash

Meanwhile, republicans actually stealing elections, gerrymandering, being completely dirty, blocking everything, refusing to vote. But the right wing POS should be up in arms. Screw those hypocritical assholes.

Well the senator who threatened to shoot the police is certainly white. Not that it really matters at all. Senators threatening to shoot the police shouldn't be tolerated.
 
i guess certain people Trump supporters and the GOP have the right to shoot policemen if they feel the police is detaining them for a reason they dont agree with ...wow.....that is deep !!!!!!
 
White men / people???

Really!!! this is America what other race can threaten the police here and live to see another day.... dont insult people here please!!!!
 
This is how scummy republicans are and how brainwashed and idiotic their base is. THey continually suck corporate D. They are doing this for what? To take measures to improve air quality, try to stop global warming? That's what they feel the need to take a stand and arm themselves with right wing terrorist for? My god, they are the ultimate scumbags.

Actually, not as much of scumbags as the idiots they pander to by doing this stuff.

That's what republicans stand for, they don't want to prevent pollution and improve teh climate, that and they don't want people to have affordable healthcare.

My god, they are absolute scum.

What did the Democrats take a stand against hwne they fled the state in other states? Absurd power play by the republicans to extreme gerrymandering to rig elections.

Right wingers truly are evil scum
