Oregon Executive Club

Sanctuary for illegals? Really? Helping law breakers avoid
lawful prosecution and removal from our state and country?
Not good! Whack!

Two more limitations on private gun ownership? Only allowing
criminals to have "scary" guns? Shackling guns in a safe?
What's next, holster padlocks? Not good! Whack! Whack!

But teaching the legislature a lesson, since they seem bent
on twisting what should have been clear language before,
requiring a 3/5 majority to raise revenue? Fly, eagle, fly!

There's more coming, but let's hear a panel of warriors
discuss and answer questions about those 4 petitions:

Kristian
Roggendorf
Opposing Anti-2A
IP43 & IP44

Shawn Cleave
Supporting
3/5 majority:
"A tax is a tax"

Shaun Jillions
Supporting
3/5 majority:
"A tax is a tax"

Jim Ludwick
Supporting
"No Sanctuary"
IP22

Kristian Roggendorf is a Lake Oswego attorney who has
supported gun rights in Oregon from all angles during
his career, and now sees an attempt to outlaw even the
best training rifle in history (used to train his own
kids and mine): the Ruger 10/22.
He brings a mallet to whack IP43 and IP44!

Shawn Cleave has more than 18 years experience as a
political policy insider working for conservative goals,
both as a legislative staffer as well as a lobbyist in Salem.
Shaun Jillions is a West Linn attorney with many years
experience representing trade associations and other clients.
They bring an eagle, IP31, to keep the legislature in line!

Jim Ludwick is co-founder and communications director for
Oregonians for Immigration Reform, with a long history of
advocacy for respect for citizen rights and immigration
law. He brings an IP22 mallet to whack Brown's sanctuaries!

The Freedom Foundation is a regional think and action tank dedicated to removing government unions influence on the political cycle

This month SEIU 503 finished their nationwide search to find their new executive director. They looked no further than their previous political director, Melissa Unger. This says a lot about the direction that SEIU, the states largest government union, and the direction that they want to head in light of the Janus decision coming through the Supreme Court. Recognize the last name Unger? You may, her brother is the executive director of the union funded group, Our Oregon. Nothing like keeping it in the family, let's see if she can last longer in their than her predecessor, who barely broke 12 months.

Here at the Freedom Foundation we are also gearing up for the groundbreaking Supreme Court case, Janus v. AFSCME, that is expected to grant national right to work to all states. For Oregon this will mean that finally government employees can no longer be forced to pay dues to a union as a condition of employment. We've developed our message, and this will be the start of the end for government unions reign in Oregon.

We currently have 5 ongoing lawsuits with unions in Oregon. Stay tuned to hear more about our battles in the courtroom and on the ground.
