Who are You
Voting For?
Met a man at Watershed
meetings in 1992 and 1993.
His suggestion was to burn all
the forests and plant alfalfa.
Put all the river water on the
hay fields and raise sheep. The
carbon dioxide would make
the hay grow. He said “we
don’t need fish and game”. All
the people that are fishermen
or hunters could get rid of their
guns and boats and make a for-
tune raising sheep and hay.
He claims to be a sci-
entist but he got fired from
his job for falsifying a re-
port about vitamin C.
Oregon is one of the few
states without nuclear pow-
er because we have hydro-
electric. Japan wishes they
didn’t have nuclear power.
He and his three kids are
nuclear scientists. I hope they
have no plans for Oregon.
Once I met him shop-
ping in Grants Pass. He was
still wearing knee-high rub-
ber boots. Peter DeFazio
doesn’t need any B.S. boots.
I will vote for whoever
runs against Art Robinson
even if it isn’t an Italian.
