If they did it on a Saturday nobody would even know about it or care, politics is a topic that will hugely affect them and their future!

Politics is life and death, if they are educated enough in the issues facing the world that they want to protest, they should be allowed to.

Adults are ignoring the science. relying only on what's here now. and how changing their carbon footprint would affect their lifestyle

What better way is there for students to become a part of the process whereby the public lets their representatives know what is important to them?

Only if they are willing to accept the consequences of skipping school (missed lessons, homework...)

Absolutely not!! They must be in school to learn. Politics should be outside of school hours. Oregon already has a graduation, test score problem. Keep politics out of the schools. So sick of politics

Students need to be in school! If they want to make this earth better study hard get a great education and come up with solutions that will fix the problems. Protesting does not fix problems!!!

Their “job” is to attend scho and become informed. They can strike after scho hours.

These kids are being led by the nose by their teachers influence. Liberals teach climate change and socialism and not about American government anymore. No one should be influenced by others.

Instead of standing on a street corner wasting taxpayers money that is paid for kids to be in school how about actually doing something like volunteering with Forrest service and replant the Forrest

Not sure what happened to learning, and I suppose they don’t have to make up the day lost.

they were coached by liberal teachers, who should teach them about the fossil record and the fact the climate is constantly changing. could have done this during spring break.

Because they totally do not know all the answers and they don't get taught enough in school without them leaving school to cause chaos.

School is for learning, not for political protesting. There is plenty of time outside of school to protest.

The strategic oil reserves are for times like this. We should also keep an eye on the oil companies and make sure they are not making extreme profits off the backs of the American citizens. After all that petroleum is being pumped from American taxpayers land that has been leased to these oil co.

No, the reserve is not for time like this, it is for times when we don't have oil available. We do have oil available now, and a LOT of oil available. It is just that Biden (and pseudo-environmentalists) don't want us to use it.

The US shouldn't be relying on foreign sources of energy when we have more than enough to be energy independent again. We were energy independent just over one year ago. But that ended on day one of this administration.

Absolutely! Prices are way too high! Just another attempt of oil companies taking advantage of a big situation like in the 1970's.

Explain why oil companies would not provide as much oil as possible at a time when prices are sky high. No, the prices are high due to speculation of shortage, given Biden's refusal to open up the spigot (the oil leases he claimed unused are not proven, exploration still necessary. ANWAR is KNOWN

We may need our reserves for war before this is over. Increase supply and lower costs by reversing Biden's orders and policies. https://americansforprosperity.org/biden-policies-raising-gas-prices/?fbclid=IwAR3jOvKpxrWnyT1iz2JrBflODu-aV7aHZdj_B4JgTndUI-8XFvAwXp3M1Jw

Absolutely not. Oil prices (and therefore gas prices) would drop dramatically if Congress would just reverse the disastrous executive orders Biden has put into effect restricting U.S. oil production.

Why tap into a reserve that is meant for when Oil is unavailable? We have plenty of oil available, it is just that irrational environmentalists don't want us to use it: https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2022/03/07/greenpeace_environmentalism_allowed_putin_to_invade_ukraine_820399.html

These letters allow people who can't financially compete with investors the opportunity to stand out.

It's your property, you should be able to use whatever information you want to decide the sale. Say I'd rather sell my property to a local family instead of a corporate developer that should be my choice.

Yes they should. That is how I sold a piece of real estate I had. Happened four years ago. Was given a higher offer from a developer but I went with the people that sent me the letter. I was able to pick who was going to live next door to me. Have never regreted it. They are the best neighbors!
