On this day, May 22, 1843, The 1st wagon train with over 1000 people departed Independence, Missouri for Oregon. Known as the "Great Emigration," the expedition came two years after the first modest party of settlers made the long, overland journey to Oregon.
Also on this day, May 22, 1902, Crater Lake National Park was established. Featuring the deepest lake in America at 1,943 feet, the lake was formed when Mt. Mazama, a volcano taller than today's Mt. Hood, erupted and collapsed over 7,000 years ago.
Only bills intended to restore freedom
Senator Dallas Heard (R-Roseburg) released the following statement:
“Today we as Senate Republicans pulled to the floor
SB 867 which would have required public schools return to full-time and in-person classroom instruction during the 2021-2022 school year. For the first time this entire session I was able to vote yes on a measure.
Only bills intended to restore the freedoms stolen from our citizens during the past 14 months should be passing the Senate floor until the people of Oregon have been restored to their rightful place in the State Capitol building. Our children's education has suffered a great and lasting impact due to the reckless decisions made by Kate Brown and her supporters within the Democrat elected power base. If we, as Oregonians, hope to continue to be a prosperous and blessed people, we must restore our children to their rightful place in the classroom.
I am calling on the free people of Oregon to demand that their elected House and Senate members legislatively strip Kate Brown of her emergency powers that she has repeatedly used in an abusive, discriminatory, and tyrannical manner by passing SR 2.â€
