tell them to focus on real world problems instead of stalking & terrorizing peoples lives. really must have nothing to do

Elizabeth Spalding

1. How? Limit the internet? Block websites? = censorship 2. Why? = since when does the government become responsible for my mistakes? 3. This means the government can dictate arbitrary issues of conduct, do you know what that potentially means??!

Amy

I think the government has enough on its plate.

Fred Colbern

No. Government is not your mommy or your daddy (despite popular belief). Whatever happened to self-control and personal responsibility.

Brian Klein

Self control is the way.

Larry Ewart

Why would anyone want more government intervention in to their life? Its not the responsibility of government to be all things for us as individuals.

Rachel Abudaram

Because everyone in the world loves social media. It’s a thing we all love

Mike Aronow

No one's taking away my SquareOffs! Plus, it's far too subjective for the government to get involved.

Cindy Jones

Government has no business in my Social Media.

Larry Ewart

I am with you Cindy!

Catz nJazz

And your sugar addition, and your alcohol and coffee intake, and your fast food intake...do you really want to give the government even more power?

I now own my second hybrid.

If they ever made one that could go longer distances. I have seen only 1 recharging station for such cars at Fred Meyer. To make them attractive, need many more recharging stations. Until then, no thx

Torina Wilson

How about YES!, but it’s too expensive. Therefore, I’ll wait

Kerie Raymond

We have an EV for local & shorter range trips (have gone to Vancourver, WA & Eugene, OR) and a Hybrid for longer range trips. Electricity is $10/month, and nothing once we have PV. No maintenance cost

No, too expensive

Electric vehicles need to be cheaper for me to invest in one. I'm just trying to get from point A to point B on a budget!

Because I want to make that choice being I'm a free individual in the United States of America. Free to make my own choices and not be told by a dictator governor of the State of Oregon. FDKB.

George Pearson

No one forced me! I love getting 50 mpg while gas guzzlers are paying my share!

Fred Colbern

Government is already controlling you when you drive. Ever stop at a stoplight? That's some university indoctrinated bureaucrat deciding how long you will be made to sit there and wait for his little technocracy to "turn the light green" so you can go.

GT Thomas

I do not want a vehicle liberals try to force on me.

Bob A. Bui

Screwing your kids/grandchildren to own the libs? Nice.

George Pearson

No one is forcing you! Watch something else beside Fox for a change, to get a full picture!

poor turtle

I mean I would but they are too expensive. Honestly I would rather to not drive at all and take the bus everywhere but that isn't currently realistic.

Karen Barker Rouse

Can’t imagine it would make long road trips easy.

Kerie Raymond

Not easy, but doable! Worth it in the long run.

Douglas E. Wilson

We are being priced out of everything by so called do gooders!

Robert Northrup

If it would meet my needs yes. Unfortunately there are none currently that can.

Christena

I've always wanted a hybrid but having my vehicles paid off it's just not worth it.

dan bob

Although it’s environmentally friendly, it is far too expensive. Perhaps in the future when corporations become competitive in this area and sell vehicles at cheaper prices.

Hugh Jjggh

It’s not that it’s too expensive I just like gas powered cars and I love hearing the engine rev unfortunately kids today will never understand not only what that 3rd pedal is for but also a real car

Heidi Owen

Most people I know cannot afford them, but I'll bet kate brown can....

Kerie Raymond

We were fortunate to buy an EV new with substantial discounts and rebates, credits. $16K for a $34K new car. I don't think it's too expensive.

Ben Wiborg

Expensive or not the power cells are the problem when it come to disposal or manufacture.

Sam Ackerman

NO, I will however buy a vehicle that fits my needs.
