“A preposterous parade of medical elites, bureaucrats and their media cohorts are needlessly frightening the people of Oregon during the COVID-19 political pandemic. Instead of leaders that portray optimism and innovation in the face of uncertainty, the Democrats and their bureaucratic cronies want to force all Oregonians into their twisted view of absolute subservience under the guise of safety.

“We see this with OR-OSHA making daily, indiscriminate attacks on employers and private enterprise. OR-OSHA’s new rule proposals are a callous assault on the American cultural, social, spiritual, and economic prosperity that rightfully belongs to every Oregonian.

“We are witnesses to the arbitrary overreach of Governor Kate Brown’s unhinged reign and fear- mongering to maintain power. COVID-19 cases are going up in Oregon because we are testing more, thanks to an influx of tests from the federal government. Follow the bottom line, or follow the money, to understand the governor’s arbitrary decisions during the political pandemic: some larger university sports programs are operational because they rake in revenue for the state, while smaller school programs remain locked down, forcing some students to pursue their dreams in other states.

“This example, and countless others, coupled with Governor Brown’s continuous Executive Orders, which were recently extended to keep Oregon locked down until early January 2021, are all declarations of unprecedented and unconstitutional abuse of power, which carries devastation and distress to new levels here in Oregon. I am proud to be part of a lawsuit to protect the people of Oregon in an attempt to curb Governor Brown’s horrific abuse of government power.”
