We won this one, but the vote was close. In glaring and trumpeting silence, not one word is mentioned of the blatant unconstitutionality of these actions. Both Blumenauer and Walden received notice of this fact, accompanied with ample documentation.

Many thanks to those of you that helped.

Blumenauer is quoted 3 times, mentioned 10 times by name, and is referenced once more with "he said"... in just 18 sentences. How's that for name-recognition PR assistance?

(Walden is mentioned 3 times by name, and quoted twice.)

"...Portland do greater damage to waterways and the environment than farmers do..."

Yep. How many millions of gallons of water apiece do the estates of all those enviro-zealot zillionaires like Bill Gates use? He build one in Oregon a couple of years ago, didn't he? I read about it at leat two years ago, on the web...Google searches aren't helping...does anyone remember about the water usage of those huge estates "out in the country" in Oregon?

...Speaking of water...still looking for that, but have to log off temporarily. Thunderstorms. Copper phone wires.

"We should lose no opportunity to make incremental improvementsTheft," Blumenauer said. "I think this is close to a no-brainer for objective observers Leftist Liberals."
