My Fellow Oregonian,
Welcome to The Freedom Brief, the weekly OFC newsletter that gives you timely updates on what’s happening in Oregon and how OFC is fighting for Oregonians’ freedom. Each week you’ll get a short message from me with a brief explanation of important issues in Oregon or an update on something big OFC is doing. You’ll then get a look at the different articles, policy explainers, media highlights, action items, and much more from OFC that week.
Today, I want to highlight our new membership program we launched last weekend. We are asking you to partner with us in restoring and reclaiming Oregon. Starting at $5 per month, you can help fund our mission.
But this isn’t just a pay-and-go-away membership.
OFC Membership is a way for you to actively join in the fight to make Oregon accountable, affordable, responsible, and safe. Your membership is designed to give you opportunities to fight in a real, tangible, and effective way. There’s a petition that needs signing? We’ll notify you first and give instructions as to when and where. A bad bill in the legislature? We’ll ask and help you to testify. Elected officials needing to be pressured? We’ll help you contact them.
Oregon is ready for change. Your membership ensures that we can make it happen. Join OFC today!
God bless,
Happening at OFC
Be One of the First – Here’s the Diehl #1
Last week, we launched OFC Membership. In this special edition of his newsletter, OFC President Ed Diehl lays out his vision for the program and how it helps restore and reclaim Oregon.
Not-So-Imminent Eminent Domain – Blank Check Report #5
Lake Oswego School District recently displayed a disgusting use of force when it authorized the use of eminent domain, prompting OFC CEO Nick Stark to ask a question: Should Oregon reform its eminent domain laws to narrow the scope of its use? He details the case for this in the latest Blank Check Report.
No Real Protection, Only Harm
The Climate Protection Program (CPP) is intended to fight climate change. In reality, it’s a worthless virtue signal that delivers no environmental benefit in exchange for significant economic harm. In a recent piece, OFC CEO Nick Stark explains the CPP and why Oregonians should support its full repeal–and not a cap-and-trade compromise.
Kudos to Coos – Good Governance Spotlight
These days, it seems as though good governance is hard to come by. That’s why OFC started the Good Governance Spotlight to showcase examples of government acting responsibly. In this week’s Good Governance Spotlight, we highlight Coos County for taking a responsible wait-and-see approach to budgeting new revenues.
