NO they are trying to protect all of us Oregon citizens. This is an underhanded bill that will kill Oregon businesses.

I think our Great Governor Brown should send the police after them, hand cuff them, thrown them in jail and fine them. Then make them do their jobs, if they do it again, hand cuff them to their desks

These are elected officials sent to the capital to do their jobs-running and hiding (and threatening violence) is immature-stand and fight and if you lose, man up-how embarrassing.

I hope they stay out as long as it takes and to send the police after them is rediculous and fine them is even more rediculous.

No, they shouldn’t be fined. It was a way to respond to those who wouldn’t listen to them or work with them to come to a mutually good solution for the majority of the state.

Democrats will not negotiate with the Repulicans even to get this onto the ballot so we can all vote on it. The Dems have forced the Republicans out, and they have no other option.

When it has to do is something that should be put before the voters and the voters would not even agree with it, we want our senators to not show up because that bill should never be passed!

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

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!
