My Testimony regarding Oregon Senate Bill 76 (be certain that copies are available to distribute to all at the hearing)

 
February 3, 2009
 
 
 
BCCed to: Let your imagination run wild!
 
To the five members of the Oregon State Senate Committee on Environment and Natural Resources and everyone in attendance at today's hearing -- and to every PacifiCorp ratepayer and redblooded American property owner that stand to lose it all by such actions that masquerade as "legislation" and "law" -- I tell you this, as bluntly as possible:
 
Do this to others only if you have sold your soul to the devil, because God knows that no one following God's guidance would do such a thing.
 
Participate in the demise of Oregon's -- and America's -- property rights, i.e., freedom, only if you have decided that the property rights and freedom of others mean diddly squat.
 
Spit in the face of experience, facts, sound science and responsible utilization of natural resources only if you are possessed of something working on you that will eventually leave you looking like a hollowed-out pumpkin in late October.
 
Sit there in this hearing with your minds made up to scour the face of Oregon, America and the earth until there is property rights, i.e., freedom, left (for anyone but yourselves) only if you have considered the ramifications awaiting you at a later date.
 
I do not live in Oregon, but in rural Ohio. We have such things going on here, too, as Governor Strickland bellies up to those in D.C. and whines that Ohio must have billion$ of that "stimulus" in order to survive. I tell you and the current Oregon Governor that such actions -- the theft of people's freedom and property rights -- are nothing but theft.
 
Have you the unmitigated gall to steal these things from others, knowing that you would never allow others to take your freedom, your property rights?
 
If you would do these things to others, you should have no right to live in the beautiful and majestic state of Oregon or anywhere else in America, for you would forsake the very reasons America was founded. Read "The Man Without A Country" -- published in 1863  By Edward Everett Hale -- and consider, if you do this, that you should spend the rest of your life "living" in just the way Philip Nolan lived.
 
Oregon Senate Bill 76 is an unconstitutional abomination. It must be sent immediately to the shredder, along with anything in existence that purports to remove clean, renewable energy and a genuine quality of life from those that live in the region made healthy and independent by the Klamath River Dams: All of them.
 
I expect you to enter into the official, formal record every word of my testimony, changing nothing. Do not add or omit anything.
