THANK YOU to the Oregonians who have supported the Senate Republicans for denying quorum to prevent cap & trade, a gas tax disguised as an environmental bill for Democrat special interests, from passing. We are stronger thanks to you. https://t.co/Nh8XmKZnBB https://t.co/gqOqHhVUxM

These Oregonians that live in the counties that have signed proclamations against cap & trade CANNOT be ignored. Cap & trade needs to be referred to voters. Let the people decide! https://t.co/ZbaupkmZ4w
Senate Rs asked for a revenue impact statement on the cap & trade tax, but were told it could not be provided. Unbelievable that Ds are determined to pass SB1530 without knowing the economic impacts or how cap & trade will impact the state... it should be referred to the people. https://t.co/2r41MERSrD
Senate Republicans have asked since last year for cap & trade to be referred to the people. Oregonians should decide on this gas tax disguised as an environmental bill! https://t.co/JGZqREO7Xt

We all care about the environment, but cap & trade is a bad idea. If the Oregon Legislature is going to pass SB 1530, the least it can do is send the bill to the Oregon voters and let us make our case to all Oregon voters. https://t.co/0vmq9RlD1S
