Quotes
edit- Allow me to congratulate you, and, through you, the people of Oregon, that peace and prosperity surround us.

Though we have had a winter of unprecedented severity and devastating floods, no traitorous hand has been raised to tear down our national flag and subvert our beloved institutions.
