Take Action! Run for Office in 2022! List of Empty Seats in Oregon

Take Action! Run for Office in 2022! List of Empty Seats in Oregon

Summary: March 8, 2022, the filing deadline, ended with multiple legislative races in Oregon with no candidates—ten seats in total (4 seats with no Republican candidate; six with no democrat candidates). These uncontested seats were an opportunity for conservative candidates who could potentially have advanced to the general election simply by registering to run in the primary.

Take Action Briefing

What: Oregon needs good conservatives to run for office. The list below shows open seats with no current candidate.
Who: All conservative Oregonians. Republicans and democrats. (NAVs don’t have primaries.)
How: Take action right now register with the state of Oregon for one of the seats that currently have no candidates.
When: Now, now, now! You must register for office by Tuesday, March 8, 2022 at 5 p.m.
Why: If there are no other primary candidates for your political party, you will advance to the general election. In a year that should be good for conservatives up and down the ballot, way too many of these possible legislative seats have no candidates at. Do you really want to just give up a seat to the crazy Left? In New Jersey, some seats were won by conservatives in the general election spending less than $2,500. Oregon is struggling and they need your help!

The Great Pushback Against Tyranny

Have you noticed more and more countries are throwing off the mandates? First the U.K. Then Denmark. Now Finland. And others soon to follow.

And even here in the U.S., more and more cities and states are just done with the mandates.

Resisting Tyranny in Oregon

This week, we’re talking with two public-official heroes (in our book) who are standing up to the overreach of Oregon’s government — from inside government.

Mary Starrett, who tangled with her county’s public health board to get accurate data and more balance to their website, rather than just the official narrative. But doing so led to an strange fight with county health board. Which seemed oddly desperate to get a letter from the county commissioners as they sought accreditation from a non-profit no normal person has heard of. Or cares about.

Why so desperate? Could it be they want to be the “Ministry of Truth” for health? Setting up the one true narrative for covid? Why is Yamhill County Health so afraid of alternative treatments? “Accredited” sites are, of course, a means to look like theirs is the “sanctified source,” which then—psychologically—becomes the ministry of truth for all things covid.

And seizing control of the narrative stops people from being able to ask questions. Because under tyranny, you’re not allowed to ask questions. You’re not allowed alternative treatments. But you are allowed to obey.

As mentioned on the show: Try it! Go to NIH.gov and type “Ivermectin and cancer” into the search box. Or just click this link to jump to the search. Prepare to be amazed.

Watch for Mary Starrett in future I Spy Radio shows.

Is Oregon Attempting to Blackmail the Alsea School District?

Marc Thielman, as Alsea school superintendent, seems to be always tangling with the State. This time, it’s about masks — and the state’s attempts to essentially blackmail Alsea into compliance.

Weird! Is it a mask mandate? Or a mask fetish? (Click for full size)

Recently, his school district decided to make masks optional. Why? Because that’s CDC guidance. (Bet you haven’t heard that, have you?) But Oregon can’t tolerate being disobeyed. Why does Oregon want so desperately to keep people — especially kids — in masks? It’s a weird psychosis, really.

And considering that more and more studies are showing the mandates, from lockdowns to masks and plenty in between, have done more harm than good, bureaucrats might just be headed for a lawsuit.

VIDEO: Watch Marc Thielman on the Laura Ingraham Show on Fox News. Is Oregon trying to blackmail Alsea School District? You decide.

Real School Choice

Marc Thielman was also the chief petitioner to get Real School Choice on the ballot, which would have created an amendment to Oregon’s constitution, giving it an extra level of security from a regular bill passed into law, making it harder for future legislators from dismantling it. But elected Democrats say they’re for education, just not good education and no one should be able to teach kids except democrats. Which is why democrat Secretary of State, Shemia Fagan, killed it. Find out the ridiculous, convoluted “reasoning” behind her decision. And why she was so wrong. But it’s not over. More resisting tyranny in Oregon on this front too.

Marc Thielman for Governor

Marc is also a candidate for governor on the Republican side. Which means its own set of challanges. Find out the roadblock the Oregon Republican Party (ORP) has set in front of candidates this election.

Hint. They need donors.

If you want to support a fighter resisting tyranny in Oregon, visit Marc’s campaign website: MarcForOregon.com. Stay up to date with news and events. And while there, be sure to give him some love.

As mentioned on the show, right now, they need numbers. It’s the number of donors the ORP is looking at, not just dollars.

This week: Stories in the Making

It’s Christmas time. And that always makes us think about the Christmas story. So this week, we’re focusing on the importance of stories and storytelling. And, how this could lead to a happily ever after for Oregon.

Jim Huggins holds two doctorates, is an ordained pastor, has a master’s degree in engineering—and before that was a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Air Force. Now, he is the CEO, Producer, and Director of a successful film company, New Shepherd Films (www.newshepherdfilms.com). Could all that experience be just what Oregon needs?

Or we could just go on with reruns: keep electing the same people to office and somehow expect different results.
