Let’s get tough on crime. Fund law enforcement first and everything else second. Less government spending on homeless programs and D.E.I. propaganda. More transparency and public engagement. Hands off my private property. Respect the Bill of Rights.
Let’s regain local control and give power back to We The People.
We need to reject destructive liberal policies and take action to ensure our neighborhoods are safe & free of criminals.
We will not tolerate the continuing dismantling of our criminal justice system. Criminals need swift & appropriate consequences for their actions if our society is to function properly. It is unacceptable that our leaders have not made any progress in dealing with the steep rise in drug use or property crimes these past couple years. Coos County needs a jail that is open to full capacity and a justice system capable of handing out well deserved jail sentences to the growing population of career criminals.
In an economy where budgets are tight, we cannot afford to waste money on programs that enable drug dependency and perpetual unemployment.
Not a single penny of the Coos County budget should be used to directly or indirectly finance bum-enabling organizations like the Devereux Center in Coos Bay that are a blight on the community. We should only support programs that promote personal accountability, zero-tolerance drug use, and respect to the neighborhood.
Our nation was founded on capitalism and a hands-off approach to governance. It is time to return to traditional American values.
We need to do away with the regulations and departments that are strangling local business owners and home builders. A permit fee for this, a fine for that — you have the right to run your business or develop your property without interference from Big Brother. It is time we stand up and defend your rights.
"It is the duty of the patriot to protect his country from its government."

News & Notes

Fascinating experience at the Coos County democracy rally today. Spoke with folks from all walks of life - some concerned about government overreach, others worried about threats to democratic norms. While opinions differed, I was struck by the shared desire to see our country thrive. Reminded that even in divisive times, we have more that unites us than divides us as Americans. Dialogue and mutual understanding will be key as we work to address the complex issues facing our nation.
The video covers a “democracy” rally held in Coos Bay, Oregon, where the host, Chris Castleman, interviews various participants and discusses their views on topics such as democracy, fascism, immigration, and the current political climate in the United States.
Key Topics:
Democracy and Fascism:
Participants express concerns about the country moving towards authoritarianism and fascism under the current administration.
They believe the president is making decisions without the consent of the people and Congress, which they see as undemocratic.
Some participants draw parallels between the current administration's actions and those of Nazi Germany.
Immigration:
There are differing views on immigration, with some participants criticizing the administration's treatment of immigrants, including the deportation of those with legal status.
Others believe the country should follow the proper legal process for immigration, though they disagree with the administration's methods.
Women's Rights:
Participants express concerns about the potential infringement of women's rights, particularly regarding reproductive freedom and healthcare.
There is a discussion about transgender individuals and their participation in sports, with differing opinions on the issue.
Government Efficiency and Accountability:
Participants discuss the importance of government efficiency and the proper protocols for firing government employees.
Some believe the current administration is not following these protocols and is acting in an undemocratic manner.
Political Divisions and Bipartisanship:
The rally appears to be attended primarily by left-leaning individuals, with few visible Republican or conservative participants.
Participants express a desire for bipartisanship and the ability to have constructive dialogues with those on the other side of the political spectrum.
While the participants had diverse perspectives, the overall tone was one of concern and a desire to defend democratic principles. However, no specific decisions or next steps were recorded, as the event seemed to be focused on raising awareness and mobilizing support rather than planning coordinated action.
