"Money, money, money, money... MONEY!"
(Sing it with me; you know the tune!)

That's Salem with liberals running things.
The gold on the roof should be a hint:
they want LOTS MORE of it.

They want to PROVE, once again, the saying:
"No man's life, liberty, or property are safe while
the Legislature is in session." -- Judge Gideon J. Tucker

Enter our speaker this month,
who digs for details and tells the tales.

Stuff the libs would rather you ignore until
they've emptied more wallets than a pickpocket
...in Times Square on New Year's Eve.

Senator Doug Whitsett

How about the "committee bills", concealing who's behind them?

How about the new attacks on the kicker?

How about the elimination of the super-majority?

Sales tax? Again? Really, greedy people?

Ready to say 'bye!' to measure 5... again?

Not to mention a plethora of energy bills,
designed to make your life impossible to fuel,
while pretending to reduce "pollution"
that's really essential plant food.

But wait! There's more!

Like... back room deals to get all that done,
and unravel what's left that's conservative in this state.

Portland Airport Shilo Inn ~~ 11707 Northeast Airport Way
Bring a friend! ~~ $20 buffet option ~~ no host bar

And of course, the cigar room, afterward

Next meeting after this: March 4th

Executive Club passes on meeting followup information as a courtesy to our speakers and members. Any member or speaker may submit, by email, a simple update text presentation to be sent to the club mailing list, to give the membership to have more details, or just a recap of your platform presentation. To be considered for publication, please be sure to submit your update within 24 hours of the close of the meeting. Please don't include any pictures in your text, but links to web pages, or links to things stored elsewhere on the web -- .pdf files, Word documents, or even pictures -- are OK now. Formatting and inserted pictures will not be copied, just the text content, so please don't use 4 fonts and 6 colors to convey your thoughts: you will be disappointed. Look at a previous followup email, or the bottom of most of the invitation emails, to see how they are presented. The simpler and cleaner your text, the more likely it will appear exactly the same in the email we send out.

The End of ObamaCare?:

Cascade Policy Institute is helping bring (Cato Institute’s health care policy expert Michael Cannon to Oregon on February 26th and 27th. Labelled in the media as “the man who could bring down ObamaCare” (http://www.vox.com/2014/11/19/7242671/obamacare-lawsuit-supreme-court), Michael is a prime architect of the legal strategy that has led to the U.S. Supreme Court hearing oral arguments on the King v. Burwell case on March 4th. By June the Court’s decision could force the Obama administration to follow the letter of the Affordable Care Act law which could deny subsidies to anyone purchasing insurance through the federal exchange. Michael will discuss how this might affect Oregonians, and how we can more in a more free-market health care reform direction in the future. He will speak at a public Cascade event in Portland on Feb. 26th and then at a Willamette Law School ObamaCare Symposium in Salem on Feb. 27th. Details will be available soon.

Details of all Cascade events and publications are available at http://cascadepolicy.org/ and you can sign up for Cascade’s free weekly Courier email list here.

Thank you all for your support!

3 years ago the debt was about $14 trillion dollars. It's grown dramatically since then. Obama's State of the Union speech had little to do with the state of the Union, or his pathetic legacy on the economy.

This is a priceless 2 minute video worth watching, regardless of your political affiliation.
