Are fossil fuel companies paying Republican lawmakers who walk out on us?

Dear John, Who are Oregon’s Republican legislators really walking out for—their constituents, or the fossil fuels companies sending them money?   The fossil fuel industry will stop at nothing to continue business as usual, including rewarding politicians who vote against c…

The Walkout Continues: Guarding Our Democracy

Dear John, Here at the Capitol, things are eerily quiet. As you probably know, Oregon’s Senate and House Republicans walked out on us earlier this week. For the fourth time in less than a year, they’ve stopped showing up for work and brought the entire legislative process to…

Breaking: Stop the Republican Walkout

Dear John, Today, Oregon’s Senate Republicans walked out to prevent a vote on our climate bill (SB 1530). This is the fourth time in less than a year that they’ve denied quorum to prevent a bill from going to a vote. Oregonians are fed up with this childish behavior.    By…
