I think counties should have the right to defy state laws because every county should have their own choice.

We have to get Oregon out of the Democrat's hands and their destructive ways!

Sussie Due

Federal law trumps state or local laws...UNLESS the state or local laws benefit then the state or local laws prevail. For example. If a federal law says you cannot protect yourself but a state or local law says you can, then the helpful law prevails. Its been like that for years.

Kimra Tollefson

The state is no longer representing the people. The laws are contrary to the Constitution. The government is betraying its own people.

Andy Dobrinin

Local control of government. No laws shall be passed that infringe on individuals rights. 2 ND amendment is for the citizens to maintain control of their own person and their government. Without it the country will fail.

Dawn Williams

When laws are contradictory to the Constitution they should not be enforced. When tyranny becomes law disobedience become necessary! STOP VOTING FOR LIBERAL DEMOCRATS

Kelly Jones

The right of the people to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED

If the state can defy federal laws, the counties should be able to defy state laws.

Tarasem

Laws are anti-freedom.

Mary M

Depending on what they are? In this case for guns yes because the State is going against the Constitution for our 2nd amendment right.. "SHALL NOT INFRINGE" SAYS IT ALL!!!

P Robbins

That's not what the Supreme Court said in Heller.

Matt Cyrus

Every elected official takes an oath to uphold the Constitution and are obligated to ignore any law they believe to believe to be unconstitutional.

P Robbins

No. The Supreme Court decides what is or is not Constitutional, not individuals.

Robert Northrup

Multnomah County doesn't follow the laws. Portland is quickly becoming like Chicago. Crime and murder are on the rise all over Oregon. Oregon, California and Washington are being destroyed by democrats.

Gabe West

Conservative counties should defy liberal laws

Tarasem

Everybody should defy all laws.

I think every county should follow state laws. If they see an ordinance has a conflict with state law, it shouldn't pass.

No but, they have the right (and should benefit from it) to deviate from the FEDERAL norms and mandates when warranted. You know the goose and the gander comparisons don't you?..........Same here!

k san

I can't even believe this is a question!! Of course, they should!

Les Adams

Well, because that's the system in place to protect EVERYONE'S welfare, whether we like every specific law or not.

P Robbins

Laws are for everyone. Without our laws we have anarchy. This is a ridiculous question for a "poll".

Tarasem

Laws are anti freedom.

Biden needs to open the keystone pipeline and resume oil exploration

Paul Owen

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.

Gabe West

Biden needs to resume oil exploration and open the keystone pipeline

Greg Moore

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.

Nik Myles

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.

Steven Huillet

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

Gabe West

Bide the keystone pipeline and resume oil exploration

Greg Moore

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

Loretta Jones

Price is getting ridiculous. Average working person can't afford commuting to and from work.

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

David Tucker

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.

Greg Moore

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

Ben Hargis

Don't waste the reserves......open the keyst one pipeline, increase production and exploration in the West

John Philo

OPEN THE KEYSTONE PIPELINE!

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

Rob Mozz

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.

Sussie Due

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!

k san

Why not???

Ben Hargis

Who cares? How is it not fair? Anyone can write a letter. Just another issue liberal politicians waste time and money on.

Robert Northrup

We have a Democrat controlled legislature that thinks it should have total control over our lives even to the extent of taking away our freedom of speech.

Gabe West

Good idea!
