especially considering how the big$$$ was put into voting against it. I wish all the states would do the same.

The Yes on 101 campaign had a solid and effective media presence. Not so much for the no campaign.

She really is making big progressive changes. Just last month a law passed to be able to confiscate guns from people with Domestic Violence issues or suicidal tendencies. It bold and brave of her to tackle that subject in Oregon. Oregon is Gun country.

Oregon is really leading the country on some many issues.

She also says she is not done with this issue. It's brave politically because Oregon is red other than Portland and Eugene

I live in Medford and guns all over here. Had long talks with my pt guy about it. He has a bunch, but at least keeps them all locked up.

is political bravery. You know we have a republican SEC of State that is trying to " redraw" the map here. Thank god Kate Brown can VETO that shit. I'm still confused how Dennis Richardson was elected.

I have some family there who were hoping this would pass.

Love, love, love Oregon.

thank all who voted for it! Yay, a little good news for a change!

We just dropped our ballots off today since we're terrible procrastinators

A big FU to the Republicans!

Thanks for posting the results

family Peeps!

Mahalo Mme Defarge Oregon

à vous!

Two of my daughters won't have to struggle financially to provide the essential supplements their sons require to lead a normal, healthy life.

Thank you Oregon voters!

I'm more than happy to pay 1.5% on my insurance to provide for others.

In the long run it will save us money with access to good preventive care lowering the number and lessening the seriousness of emergency room care.

It's more than just being a decent human being. I, by the way, am an atheist. I don't need a book or a religion to tell me how to be a decent human to others. These days it seems pretty much like a whole lot of the people who do have those are not following them very well.

On the economics side it makes sense as you pointed out. In the long run it will cost us all less.

wants this, at least the reasonably well informed parts. Only the kook brothers and their surrogates that they have installed in so many state houses rail against providing health care for Americans.

The state one lives in is increasingly going to determine one's quality of life.

When I was struggling financially many years ago in the 80’s I got help and its the right thing to do even if it costs me some money.

I just heard our governor saying she is proud of us, made me feel good. It was a very unselfish vote.

I kind of hemmed and hawed around since I usually vote No on all the taxes the state and city always come up with (we're a one income household basically), but I wanted to pay it forward as well.

I was a struggling young hippie mother in the late '70s and it's so much harder to get that kind of help these days. Now, you have to be really, really poor and I didn't want today's little children to be running around with runny noses and ear infections and desperate mother's. (Especially the infants. )

I wonder why the rural counties voted No, besides being Republicans. I read that undocumented children will be covered and thought maybe they didn't want little brown migrant kids to have a leg up.
