Even after Oregon voters overwhelmingly approved campaign contribution caps, the state Legislature dragged its feet on passing limits — and it’s since loosened them. By @robwdavis.bsky.social

We need volunteer representatives. Congress is a part time gig and can continue to be with the right group of people. WE can make sure they aren't in it for lobby money or defense contracts. I'll start- Remove Mike Johnson, Jim Jordan, James Comer, Tom Homan (Crooked Cop) Stephen Miller and more.

This is WHY so many people have STOPPED voting. We vote for something, the legislature tells us to kiss our collective ass.

The Gov has a chance to veto the latest egregious example on her desk right now. I think I know how this will go down: it will be signed into law with much lauding of their "private partnerships"

The voters said yes 5 years ago and the greedy overlords took five years to line their pockets. Isn’t this the way this is in government everywhere. Just look at the federal government. They eat lobster, steak and shrimp and WE THE PEOPLE are told to eat cereal. WTF

Stop voting for people who won’t rep us. Only there for self enrichment.

This isn’t complicated. If your representatives are doing the opposite of what you elected them to do then vote the fuckers out.

Regardless of Federal or State , the people we’ve put in office are only representing their needs. This is not a Red or Blue issue. Don’t fall for it, time to take our country back .

While there are a range of issues across the spectrum, this is like the 9th state where the populace has overwhelmingly voted up or down on an issue and the governor or the legislature as ignored the will of the people. So what’s the point of voting these days?

Government of the people, by the people, for the people? Obviously, legislators have something to lose by actually doing their job and following the people's will on *campaign contributions*. What could it possibly be??

Is it possible for voters to construct their own law and pass it ??? Maybe, require a certain majority to do so ???
