Is this any less corrupt than vote harvesting? Jungle primaries? Gerrymandering? I believe our republic is lost!
Card Check is a done deal the next time Democrats get control of all 3 branches.
Anti-Christian Oregon has possibly reached the tipping point. This state is royally screwing up in every field of endeavor. From taxes to freedom
