At the end of the day, these are our representatives who were elected by the people. When the people speak up, it's difficult for those representatives not to listen.

Elected officials should be listening to their constituents. They are representing the people or should be.

I don't think dramatic protests carry as much weight as individual complaints or other forms of protest when it comes to persuading legislators of change.

No, it's amusing to them all. Considering the majority of the time their minds have already been made up, as to their ill judgement and direction. Just (feel good) common courtesy to us the public

Dave Voiles

I think it used to make a difference, not anymore. the dems are like the Borg. They think only of their agenda, just look at the divisiveness in our state. All socialists now.

Heidi Owen

They are all bought and paid for. especially here in Oregon.

No. Unless you're Trump. He's been having "campaign" rallies throughout his term in office. I can't see any influence that has come from them, except to boost his giant, but fragile ego.

Leslie Ann

They never have care and they never will. The people don't mean anything to the government.

We need that money in our own country to help our schools, Medicare and education. Don’t you care about our neighbors and communities?

Dave

That money won't help our neighbors and schools when Iranian nukes start hitting our allies and eventually us! That is their goal as they have stated for years!!

Ka San

If it even needs saying, the Military Industrial Complex is the MOST bloated budget of the entire federal budget. If our current "completely-in-over-his-head" Def Sec + idiot prez hadn't started a completely unnecessary war, we would not have depleted stores of weapons and this be on nobody's radar!

Dave

Ka San, You sound like a radical liberal. Guess you'd rather have nukes start flying around in the middle east and then closer to home in a couple years.

As a tax payer and resident of Deschutes County I am tired of my tax dollars being used to clean up the filth the homeless people leave behind. If this is a deterrent for them living there then we won’t have to clean it up again. Thus saving tax payer dollars and the rocks are a better look.
