I think it's needed because walkouts prevent lawmakers from finishing work sessions.

Super majority is about control.Not representative of the true public opinion. The walkout stalls bad legislation. It's the only effective control for political overreach.

Our pubic servants are PAID TO DO THEIR JOBS! Walking out on a bill they disagree on is acting like a petulant child, Get in there and do the work. Otherwise, don't try to get elected for a job you do not intend to do.

Foster Fell

I think there is already a law preventing walkouts, but, sure, anything extra that would keep them on the job.

Katherine GoldenEagle

I'm not allowed to walk out on my job WITH PAY, if I don't like what's going on

Democrats & Republicans have been guilty of 'calling in sick'. In a democratic-republic, it is the act of a coward, or a scoundrel, to avoid doing their sworn-duty, when they are able. Military Veterans, and others, have endured great pain, and even death, for showing up, to do their job!

Rick Alexander Jr.

The supermajority doesn’t need the Republican votes. They only need two of them in order to completely screw this state into the ground.

I don't agree because this is the only tool we have to prevent the democratic majority from pushing their agenda.

With a supermajority hellbent on destroying personal liberties in this state, the only way to stop bad bills is to deny quorum.

Pam Beacock- Clevenger

This is the only way to not be a partisan government. The issues that were not attended had zero Republican input. We need a democracy that can compromise. One party rule leads to failure.

Robert Northrup

Democrats have rigged the system in Oregon to the extent that only by walking out are half of Oregon's population being represented. Democrats ignore the will of the voters because they think you are stupid.

k san

Rigged? Like McConnell changing the rules to suit HIS party? Like saying the next SCOTUS justice should be elected by the "next" POTUS - when he didn't want Obama's choice - but completely changing the rules when it was Trump in office. You guys talk out of both sides of your mouth!! Disgusting!

Rick Allen

NO not at all, The common sense party must have some way of thwarting the horrible Dems agenda which is damaging this country badly! We must fight and stop their Gestapo tactics to save America!!! Seriously look at the blue cities they are much, much worse off than the red cities! Enabling riots!

Dave Voiles

It's part of the checks and balance system. If the bill is so bad that there is no common ground it should be stopped or sent to the people for a vote. If the voters approve, then it should be law. Democrats have used this as well.

I try whenever I can.

If we want a plastic ocean then we should continue to do what we are doing.

Because it is the right thing to do.

Stuart Alpert

hello

Larry Ewart

As much as possible

Sarah Croom

I do but I go rounds w/ my guy. Ever since China stopped taking our recycling he stopped doing it. Idk if all that is real, I have noticed that our garbage guy just loads both cans into the same dump bin & it’s not sorted. So that’s really disturbing. Every little bit helps I feel. I rec. everything

Carolyn Morris

Always, I Re Use Water Bottles.

Misty Schrotberger

My mom has a cow if we don't

kaycstamper

I do what I can but live in an area where they don't have it. Still I save bottles and cardboard to take to recycling. I cook from scratch so don't really have cans.

Michael Stafford

It is the least we can do to preserve our resources.

Julie Brantley

We pay by the pound for certain items so why not pay less and recycle - it's the right thing to do for me and the environment.

JoãoVitorJ J

Yes, I recycle

Milena Santana

because it helps the environment

Cornelia H. Dunnings

I like to help the environment. I even pick up cans & bottles near my car in parking lots.

Joyce Koch

I feel I'm helping out.

Linda Jeffcoat Amick

Why not?

gena

Although I can only hope that it's useful because there is no proof that what is supposedly sent to the recyclers they actually carry through. You always hear about it not being done.

Evey G Quines

It's the least I can do

Bonita Davis

We take our own garbage to the dump and pay by the pound. Recycling is free so the more we recycle the less we have to pay.

Jill Hoadley Chalk

It's important to reuse as many things as possible.

Ann Wilbanks

Our duty to recycle. If it goes to the landfill, it piles up. Be responsible!!

Rachel Clara Smith

Of course! Everyone should recycle!

BJ Arey

We recycle everything possible. We also take cloth bags shopping, use insulated bag with blue ice for cold items & take reusable containers to restaurants for leftovers to take home.
