Forget Canada or any other socialist country, just look at America's current single payer system, the Veterans Administraiton. After reading this article, ask yourself how would it be different here in Oregon or in America?
Outlook Photo: Josh Kulla-Dan Christensen discusses his opposition to spending on equity training in front of a mock pig stationed outside the Gresham-Barlow School District offices on Eastman Parkway.

Former Gresham-Barlow School Board member Dan Christensen broke the story on Fox News and Bill O'Reilly's show and Petunia decided to follow up with her prestigous Porker Award.
Oregon Senator, Doug Whitsett, exposes smoke and mirror savings in 3194 A (pathway for early release of dangerous sexual criminals) and the bait and switch as the Dems budget redirects the money from community corrections to other stuff.
Read his latest newsletter here. Ask yourself, will you feel safer after such a bill passes?
"We ultimately need our criminal justice system to meet its intended purpose of keeping our streets safe by functioning in the most cost-effective way possible. Allocating the projected savings resulting from HB 3194-A to Community Corrections will serve that purpose.
Currently, the Co-Chairs are planning to use about $38 million of those funds for other purposes. I believe their proposed action would be a huge disservice to Oregonians. Reducing funding to Community Corrections will only serve to weaken our very important criminal justice system. We must do everything we can to ensure that does not happen.
Please remember--if we do not stand up for rural Oregon, no one will."
Senator Doug Whitsett
