I will send Merkley an email about certain issues. He responds and most of the time agrees with me. That's good until I get a Megavote email. That email tells me how he really voted (many times opposite of what he was told me). I do not understand this.

But what finally did it was LNG. I don't know where you live, but on the southern coast, we have been dealing with the threat of LNG in our communities. For years Merkley would state in emails that he was against it. (Years, as in over ten.)

Yet when he came for a townhall, he 1st met with the LNG backers and promised them his support. It was obvious to all in the townhall as they all came out together, high fiving each other.

This is a huge deal down here. LNG kills property values and is unsafe.

I do not like representatives that lie. A big reason I will not for Her.
