Feeling Their Livelihoods Threatened, Thousands Protest Democrats’ Tyrannical ‘Climate’ Bills at Oregon Capitol With More Than 2,000 Trucks, Tractors


SALEM — Oregonians brought more than 2,000 trucks, tractors and other vehicles to the state Capitol this morning to protest climate bills and other legislation they say will threaten their livelihoods.

Trucks circled the Capitol, honking. The Capitol steps, mall and surrounding streets were thick with protesters.

Farmers, ranchers, loggers and others whose jobs are dependent on natural resources say the legislation — House Bill 2020, also known as cap and trade — will increase their fuel and energy costs while having a minimal impact on the climate.
