>>federal agencies used to offer 200 million board feet for timber production in Oregon’s Santiam Canyon. Now, he said, that’s down to 1 million board feet per year.
Is there a fort or other needful building in Santiam Canyon? If not, then why does the federal government own the land? They should sell it off to private owners.
Psalm 19:1-2 (King James Version)
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
It is time for Oregonians to get on their phones and letters to tell your state Reps to vote no against the Cap-and-Trade bill. The ones who are going wobbly are Bruce Starr, Kevin Mannix, Kim Wallen, Christine Drazan, and Jeff Helfrich who are willing to negotiate chopping their voters heads off at the eyebrows rather than the neck. There is no honor in losing by ten points rather than twenty.
This bill is going to tax everything that moves and half of what doesn’t. You are going to see anything they don’t like such as efficient oil, NatGas, Propane, and electricity triple in cost within three years to get themselves past the next election. It is going to make diving cars and trucks more difficult in an already car-hating state and going to punish you at the registration.
The Democrat Communist Party is always claiming to be champions of the little guy but who is going to be hurt the worst with confiscatory heating and cooking prices. Who is going to be hurt with charging another fifty cents a gallon on gas so they can waste it on their windmill and choo choo train boondoggles. This is drastically going to raise food prices on the middle and lower classes, driving them into poverty and out of their homes. You need to tell the Repubs to not give the Dims cover on this when people are feeling the full effect of their complete mismanagement of Oregon’s resources.
It is time to sell Oregon’s land. All of these oppressive taxes are caused by their closing of the forests. They closed the forests down to give more land than the Biden administration required for the Spotted Owl by around double and then repeated Climate Change fifty times. There was not one page of science and nothing more than their pagan worship of the earth and now every Oregonian is forced to tithe to their pagan gods through Cap and Trade.
There is no reason to punish Oregonians with this massive tax increase if they were to manage the state resources effectively. This would be the wealthiest state in the union if not for these politicians. They have to stand up and say there is no such thing as manmade Climate Change which is really weather. There is no reason for Oregon to commit suicide over a myth invented by Al Gore who was a divinity school dropout. How do you flunk Bible School? Did he get caught cheating ? Yet, Oregon is willing to destroy its entire massive rural economy for this false prophet.
Even people in Oregon are moving away from these crazy ideas and towards Trump’s common sense. Their days are numbered before they are voted out of office and then clean up the election fraud. We need to call and write these Repubs as well as your own Communist to let them know you are not buying Climate Change any longer and they have to understand it is a giant scam to tax people out of their houses and cars. You do not have to threaten them but remind them Oregon will be wide open for anyone who stands up against these tax and burn politicians who are willing to make life harder on people rather than helping. Remind them this is nothing more than a religion and you do not want to worship the Creation rather than the Creator with your tithes and taxes.
It is time to sell the 10,000 square miles of land the state has locked up. This would generate revenues for the state and alleviate the people while making the lands more maintained ending these massive wildfires which have been plaguing the state. It is the real solution to their financial and forest crisis destroying the state. Call these Reps to let them know you expect them to vote no on massive taxes on their voters.
Pray for Stopping Cap and Trade
If only it were that simple. Can you imagine what would happen to the timber business if the State of Oregon or Washington were in sole control? While it is true that true federalism would eventually betray the foolishness of "hands off" management, that lesson would come at a huge price to local communities there.
I have a pet peeve in timber management, which is transport of weed seed and other pests. I'd like to see a lot more energy on that. FedGov Inc. allowed the import of the "shot hole borer" in recent years likely to do immense damage to our local ecology. If Trump wanted to emplace means to support timber workers, control of exotic pests in lumber would be at the top of my list.
