STOP HB 2015
In 2014, Oregon voters said NO to driver licenses to anyone without proof of legal presence. But, the party in charge at the Oregon Legislature is so arrogant they are willfully working to overthrow the will of the people. HB 2015 will have a work session Monday, June 10, 2019 at 1:00pm. Your calls, emails, tweets and Facebook posts are critical to shine a light on this bill. We can stop this - with YOUR help. Have you seen our billboards across the state?

June 24, 2017 OFIR meeting filled with anticipation
OFIR meetings continue to pack the house as national news reports give us hope about enforcement of our immigration laws. Here in Oregon, the Legislature just insulted every law-abiding Oregonian by passing a law to shield from detection and possible deportation, anyone in the country illegally. They also passed a "Healthy Kids" Act that provides free (tax funded) healthcare to approximately 15,000 illegal alien children at a cost of $55 million dollars.
