Normally, we'd have plenty of time to rally and submit opposition statements in the voters pamphlet. But because they passed this so late, we've got a razor-thin deadline – we need as many people trying to get their voice heard as possible!

We hosted an energizing forum featuring candidates for State Rep District 9 and County Commissioner. Highlights included Claire Lynn and Troy Cribbins tackling cost of living, public safety, and education; Rick Coleman and Chris Ensley focusing on homelessness and leadership; incumbents John Sweet and challenger Brandi Martindale addressing funding crises and cultural shifts.

Being a strong conservative means more than voting Republican—it's a commitment to principles that have sustained America through trials and triumphs. In our Coos County group, let's embody these values daily: volunteer in our communities, support local candidates who align with them, and educate others on why conservatism offers the best path forward.

Youth speakers shared inspiring stories of global journeys, free speech, and faith. TPUSA rallied for conservative clubs, and Maureen Bannon fired up the crowd: "We're in a war of good vs. evil—keep fighting for America's future!" Honoring Charlie Kirk's legacy amid protests.

Moderated by Marty Kuhrt, the event featured Coos County Commissioner candidates Brandi Martindale (challenging incumbent John Sweet, focusing on communication, crime reduction via rehab, and property rights) and Rick Coleman (challenging Democrat Rick Osborne, emphasizing public safety funding, timber revival, and constitutional enforcement).

There were 2 “protests” on June 14th. The first one was a “no kings” protest, full of hate for half of the community, cussing at children, vulgar signs and complete disrespect for the community as a whole. An hour later, there was a “flag wave”. That protest had a completely different feeling. No hate, no vulgar signs, no cussing…

If the governor signs this legislation, the immediate impact will be felt in Bandon, North Bend, and Reedsport.   City councils will gain unilateral authority to set utility rates without voter approval. The longer-term consequences may include higher utility costs, decreased transparency in rate-setting processes, and further erosion of direct democratic participation in a local government's decision-making authority.

Understanding Tax Increment Financing is understanding how the shell game works. And, once you see it, you cannot unsee it. The question is whether enough taxpayers and the newly elected board members of the North Bend School District will educate themselves to fight back, like the former members of the North Bend School District did.

A group of Patriots gathered at the Coos Bay boardwalk for a flag wave to celebrate our country’s flag. It was great seeing everyone out there. Special shoutout to our organizers Jim and Lynda!

The City of North Bend has been promoting that crime "dropped significantly in 2024", but their own yearly report says otherwise…

Until the city decides to care about their taxpaying citizens and their safety, these homeless will be allowed to continue to terrorize this beautiful city until they destroy the city. We should expect more from our leaders.
