Democracy for All

"Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." - attributed to Thomas Jefferson

We are one of many communities bubbling up across the country demanding our rights as guaranteed by our Constitution.  The right to local self-governance is a fundamental and inalienable right. 

• The Declaration of Independence's asserts that governments are instituted to secure the rights of people. 
  
• Section 1 of the Oregon Constitution recognizes "all power is inherent in the people". 
  
• Article VI, Section 10 of the Oregon Constitution guarantees home rule powers to Counties.
  
• Section 203.035 of Chapter 203 of the Oregon Revised Statutes, grants counties ordinance-making power to address matters of County concern.

"I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial by strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country." ~Thomas Jefferson
