Governor Kate Brown has signed into law, effective immediately, HB 4111, which will allow persons in the United States with an Employment Authorization Document issued by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services to be issued an Oregon Driver’s License.  The person who applies for such a license under this HB is not required to provide proof of legal presence in the United States when applying for a limited term identification card or driver’s license. Limited term driver’s license will not be accepted as proof of citizenship for Concealed Hand Gun License.   
 
 
 
As such, effective on June 3, 2019, all persons who wish to apply for a Concealed Handgun License in Coos County will need to bring proof of citizenship with them when applying.  This can be done with an original birth certificate or a US Passport or other government issued identification that meets the required identification requirements. One example is the “new” Real ID compliant drivers license issued by Oregon DMV which requires an additional fee to DMV.

Here's why:
CHL requires proof of ID. a while back the legislature attempted to give licenses to illegal aliens claiming it would make the roads safer as they would buy insurance etc… However the voters said no. The legislature has over ruled the voters and authorized a drivers license gain. However those license will not meet the real ID rules as the previous licenses had been doing, as required by federal law.  The new real ID license require an additional fee to the state via DMV if I read the new rule correctly.

Community objects to the proposed Q’alya ta Kukwis shichdii me Traditional Cultural Property Historic District Salem, Ore. Thursday, May 23, 2019 -- The Oregon State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) has determined that the opponents of the proposed Q’alya ta Kukwis shichdii me (Jordan Cove and the Bay of the Coos People) Traditional Cultural Property Historic District (District) in Coos County submitted enough objections to prevent listing the District in the National Register of Historic Places. According to federal rules for the program, if a majority of the private property owners within a proposed district object to the listing, the district cannot be listed in the National Register. There are 1,001 owners in the boundaries of the proposed district, and 696, or 70%, submitted valid objections.

The SHPO sent the nomination document to the NPS on May 23, 2019 for a “determination of eligibility.” In this process, the NPS determines if the District is eligible for listing in the Register, but does not actually list it. The SHPO expects the NPS to respond before early-July 2019, following a consideration period of up to 45 days.
The nomination document and all materials submitted to the National Park Service (NPS) are online at http://bit.ly/coostcp.

The proposed Q’alya ta Kukwis shichdii me Traditional Cultural Property Historic District is a 20-square mile area that follows the general horseshoe shape of the Coos Bay Estuary. The District includes portions of the cities of Coos Bay and North Bend and Coos County. A Traditional Cultural Property (TCP) recognizes the cultural significance and identity of a living community. A TCP not only tells the stories of the people who have historically called the area home, but recognizes how the descendants of those people keep the traditional practices and beliefs alive.

The Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw Indians (CTCLUSI) nominated the District for its cultural significance to the Tribe. The Tribes tribe’s continued use of the estuary since time immemorial to present is shown by archaeological sites, named places in Hanis and Miluk dialects of the Coosan Language, and the presence of prehistoric and historic burials of peoples at former villages and Native American subsistence sites.

The State Advisory Commission on Historic Preservation, a governor-appointed volunteer commission of people with interest and skill in Oregon history, first reviewed and recommended approval of the nomination in February 2019.

​INTERIOR ANNOUNCES $30.1 MILLION IN PAYMENTS TO RURAL SCHOOLS IN WESTERN OREGON COUNTIES
News Release from Bureau of Land Management Ore. & Wash.
May 15th, 2019 9:26 AM

​WASHINGTON – U .S. Secretary of the Interior David Bernhardt announced today the issuance of $30.1 million to 18 counties in western Oregon as a part of the Secure Rural Schools (SRS) and Community Self-Determination Act extension. The funding will go directly to the counties, supporting investments in education, infrastructure, public safety, health services, and other critical expenditures made by these jurisdictions.

“The money appropriated to these communities through the Secure Rural Schools Act is critical to their continued prosperity and the vibrancy of our public lands,” said Secretary Bernhardt. “At the Department of the Interior, we are committed to being a good federal partner and neighbor, and this program is one way we help these local economies.”
 
“This announcement is welcome news for Oregon counties that rely on this program,” said U.S. Rep. Greg Walden (OR-02). “I worked closely with the last two Republican Speakers of the House to secure SRS funding for our schools and counties. I applaud the Trump Administration for prioritizing rural Oregon and promptly issuing these payments. While we are all pleased the checks are getting written, what we really need is reform of forest management so we can reduce the size and severity of wildfires and produce good paying jobs and tax revenues in our forest counties. I look forward to continuing to work with President Trump and his team to achieve that goal.”
Background
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) manages the SRS program in Oregon and California Railroad Revested Lands, known as the O&C Lands, in concert with the U.S. Forest Service. The O&C Lands lie in a checkerboard pattern through 18 counties of western Oregon. These lands contain more than 2.4 million acres of forests with a diversity of plant and animal species, recreation areas, mining claims, grazing lands, cultural and historical resources, scenic areas, wild and scenic rivers, and wilderness. SRS payments are made to over 700 counties across the United States, including the 18 counties containing O&C Lands, according to a formula set by Congress.
​
The O&C Lands Act and Coos Bay Wagon Road (CBWR) Act require 50 percent of receipts collected from the sale of timber on O&C lands to be distributed among 18 counties in western Oregon. The payments follow a formula established by these laws, both of which authorize timber receipt-based payments to western Oregon counties, and both of which remain in effect following the expiration of the SRS and Community Self-Determination Act.

​Hello Everyone, 

The following is an explanation from the attorney for the Chief Petitioner in Columbia County on Judge Grove’s opinion concerning the Second Amendment Sanctuary Ordinance.   The reason our attorney had to write this letter was to show that the judge in Columbia County made a decision on whether or not the Chief Petitioner, Chris Brumbles , could file the SASO as an initiative petition for circulation and not for any other reason.

 Some of the county commissioners in other Oregon counties were using the outcome of this trial in Columbia County as a reason to deny the SASO in their county.  A few newspapers have published articles making assumptions on this decision that were incorrect.  The case was about whether the measure met the criteria for an initiative, not on the constitutionality of its content.   
 
The Oregon Firearms Federation and The Committee to preserve the Second Amendment are committed to defeating the county clerk’s denial to file the latest version of the Columbia County SASO, which our attorney modified according to the Judge’s decision.  Our attorney is confident that our legal claims are valid and that the SASO is sound law.  We agree with his assessment.   
 
Scroll down to read copies of the documents relevant to this case, including the original filing. 
 
Sincerely, Rob Taylor

What say ye!!

  The government was created by the people for one reason, to protect our Rights. What the government has forgotten, and unfortunately many people have also, is that the government is here to serve us, not the other way around.
 
More and more, we see our employees attempt to rule rather than to serve. Our employees let their ideology drive them instead of righteousness, reason, and morality. We watch as tyranny becomes the norm and cultural Marxism threatens our existence, and our Liberty.
 
Today we see politicians openly brag that they are socialists in a country that was founded on Judeo Christian principles, Natural Rights, as a Republic under the rule of law. Some fools refer to our country as “our democracy”; this has always been to spread confusion. Let there be no doubt, we are not, and have never been a democracy. The word Democracy is not in the constitution or in any state constitutions. You do not pledge allegiance to the democracy for which it stands. Democracy is mob rule, and the transforming of a Republic to an Oligarchy.
 
The end of government is justice, and justice is the absence of the theft of our property and Rights. Justice has been the first casualty in this cultural war started by traitors. Our country has been invaded from within by far left radicals who use political correctness, multiculturalism, censorship, and other forms of Marxist ideology to brainwash the masses, and totally extirpate our country, freedom, and our culture.
 
Our employees ignore our voices and care only about power and the next election as they destroy our children’s future, and lead them to chains. No place is this more evident than here in Oregon, where the legislature has gone completely off the reservation. The majority party pursues the complete fulfillment of the communist manifesto in a single session. They ignore the will of the people with impunity as they turn this state into the next Detroit, while destroying the rule of law, and criminalizing law abiding citizens.
 
If you live in Oregon, you have no justice unless you are a criminal, or illegal invaders; then you are the latest addition to the protected class. If you are a tax eating public employee union, the corrupt left will fill your coffers with plunder so that you may live the kings’ life in retirement and launder a portion to return to them. This cycle is vicious to people who just want to live and let live.
 
Let there be no doubt; there are no limits that the left will avoid in pursuit of their chimerical utopian dream. They enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought, reflection, or common sense.  They have declared war on the people of this great nation and will never stop. Their arrogance will not even allow them to hide it anymore.
 
We will not let the arrogance and tyranny of the left prevail. This great experiment in self-government will continue to exist and live on.  We will not comply with the illegal laws they pass, and we won’t be disarmed and wait for the boxcars. The constitution and Bill of Rights does matter, it is not outdated, and if they hate our country, let them move on. I will not say give me Liberty or give me Death, Liberty is not theirs to give, it is already given me by God and although my death will eventually come, when it does, I will be a Freeman. The only way to take my Liberty is by taking my life. What say ye!!

In Liberty,
Chris Brumbles
