Marion County Republican Party Chairman Joel Pawloski has been speaking out about the political climate in Oregon and how an adherence to constitutional law may be what is needed to restore the people's confidence in Oregon government. Pawloski gave the following statement to the Northwest Observer.

"The first Section of the first article of the Oregon Constitution defines your political power", said Pawloski. "Section 1. Natural rights inherent in people. We declare that all men, when they form a social compact are equal in right: that all power is inherent in the people, and all free governments are founded on their authority, and instituted for their peace, safety, and happiness; and they have at all times a right to alter, reform, or abolish the government in such manner as they may think proper.— Read the last sentence again. One more time. Let it sink in."

"Section 1 does not say the legislature", Pawloski continued. "It does not say the governor. Section 1 declares that the people of the state have the right to alter, reform or abolish the government of the state of Oregon. This is your political power."

"In the past there are efforts to separate you from your political power. Many well meaning but destructive to your knowledge of your rights. You were taught at a young age that we don’t talk about religion and politics. It makes people upset. You have been taught about the separation of church and state which does not exist. Keep your religious opinions behind the closed doors of the church. In this way you have censored yourself, doing the work of your political opponents for them."

"There are other ways the people have given up their political power", Pawloski said. "Not voting is one. As a US citizen it is your responsibility to cast an informed vote for representatives that will safeguard you and your posterity. Do not allow the doomsayers or the media or the pollsters to convince to not vote. It is one of the three primary ways that you exercise political power."

The Marion County Chairman continued to explain, "When you do not speak up in public or vote. That vacuum will be filled by those that may not have your interests in mind. You give others unfettered access to your political power by not using it. Another expression of your political power is to join with like minded people to affect change that benefits the people. Non-compliance with government dictates is another. Thus you see the reason for Freedom Business Fellowship is the expression of political power."

"We will use this political power of the people to affect change in Oregon, change that will benefit everyone, change that will ensure that the political power that belong to us and our posterity will not wane. We will do this through the initiative process. With only 1,000 signatures we can create an initiative. With only 8% of the population, we can put before the people of Oregon a change in the Constitution of Oregon."
