An Oregon teacher’s letter to lawmakers: We don’t need your prayers, we need your courage

10. Are you in Chuck Riley's district? I got a phone poll before I even knew of the recall attempt...

... and the way they were trying to get him to "trip himself" on words in some interview that was done.

Yes, the gun lobby tried and failed to get a number of recalls here earlier. Fortunately most Americans see these bastards for what they are!

Though I don't thank Bloomberg for trying to get us to pass open primaries here last election (prop 90), i do thank him for helping get senators like Riley elected so that we could have a significant majority to at least do some partial work on putting in gun regulations here last term.

I hope he speaks heavily on this Roseburg shooting as well as the local cop shooting we had a few miles away here in Aloha tonight that killed a 55 year old woman who probably didn't have to die if we had competent cops responding to that situation.
