Norquist attempts to nudge his nasty dogma into Oregon

Apparently Oregon's government isn't drowning fast enough for ol Grover:

Dear Friend,

Gov. Kulongoski is pulling all stops to raise taxes on Oregonians! Your legislators need to hear from you that higher taxes are not an option.

While the governor is tossing around program names like "healthy kids" and bringing in big-name speakers to support his $500 million in tax increases, you will be the one stuck with the bill of up to $450 extra per year if legislators sign off on his spending spree.

The next two weeks are crucial for contacting your legislators and telling them to vote NO on higher auto insurance premiums, tobacco taxes, and taxes on the businesses that provide jobs for hard-working Oregonians.

A "spending spree"? Ensuring all children have access to health care is a spending spree? Cuz the private sector is doing such a whiz bang job of keeping prices down.

What a dick.

He can kiss my lilly white liberal ass. And stay out of Oregon politics and policy. We don't want or need the kind of irresponsible, anti-government, anti-Oregon crap he advocates.
