This Activist Loves Oregon More Than He

We Want You To Visit Our State Of Excitement Often. Come Again And Again. But For Heaven's Sake, Don't Move Here To Live. Or If You Do Have To Move In To Live, Don't Tell Any Of Your Neighbors Where You Are Going.

The Interests Of Oregon For Today And In The Future Must Be Protected From The Grasping Wastrels Of The Land. We Must Respect Another Truism - That Unlimited And Unregulated Growth, Leads Inexorably To A Lowered Quality Of Life.

We Who Are Privileged To Be In These Chambers Today Can View The Challenges We Face As Opportunities, Not As Reasons For Despair. We Can Do This Only If We Blend Our Independent Spirits In Terms Of Reverence For The Life And Respect For Nature. Each Of You Might Suggest Different Words, But Our Goal Certainly Is The Same: A Better Oregon.

If The Salmon And Steelhead Are Running, Then As Far As I Am Concerned, God Knows That All Is Well In His Worldthe Health Of The Environment Is Good If The Salmon And Steelhead Are Around. It Is That Simple.

This Activist Loves Oregon More Than He Loves Life.
