“Senate Republicans have flouted the democratic process and acted like bullies who have not
gotten their own way.” Now it appears @ORsenateRs may have violated state law as well. Time to investigate. #orpol #orleg #GetBackToWork https://t.co/hflMrMTtc3

[Dirk VanderHart @dirquez]

An Oregon child-welfare worker has filed a government ethics and campaign finance complaints against Republican senators, with backing from progressive groups. The complaints stem largely from a GoFundMe to help Senators who've staged the walkout. #orpol #orleg

Incredible rally in Hood River where constituents delivered a clear message to @ChuckThomsen: Stop this anti-democracy hideout and #GetBackToWork #orpol #orleg

Today’s the day! @OregonGovBrown is signing the Student Success Act into law at Washington Elementary in Salem, making a historic investment in Oregon schools. #orpol #orleg #YesonStudentSuccess

Kids learn better when they have access to healthy meals. This investment is incredible, and it's yet another reason why the Student Success Act is such a game-changer for Oregon students! #YesonStudentSuccess #orpol #orleg

Oregon will pay $40 million a year to provide free lunch and breakfast to over 60% of its students, in what's the largest statewide expansion of the federal free lunch program. One in seven Oregon households don't have regular access to food. #orpol #orleg

History! The Oregon Senate just passed the Student Success Act, sending it to the Governor's desk. These education investments will change lives! #YesonStudentSuccess #orpol #orleg

[OEA @oregoneducation]

Remember: it took decades to get us here. Our students need and deserve schools that can afford to give them what they need to succeed. #YESonStudentSuccess #orleg

[Fair Shot Oregon @FairShotOR]

Senator @RobForOregon knows the #StudentSuccessAct is a “once in a generation bill.” YES. IT. IS. #ThisIsOurShot #orpol #orleg

[A Better Oregon @BetterOregon]

Senator @RobForOregon: The Student Success Act is "our shot to give our children the best opportunity to succeed in school in career and in life … it’s the Oregon way.” #orpol #orleg #yesonstudentsuccess

[A Better Oregon @BetterOregon]

Senator @LewFrederick calls the Student Success Act "long overdue" in an impassioned speech: "We’re on the verge of truly investing in our schools" #orpol #yesonstudentsuccess

[A Better Oregon @BetterOregon]

And we're off! Senator Roblan, co-chair of JCSS lauds the lengthy 16-month process: "There has never been a committee that was as comprehensive, open, transparent, and inclusive than the group that was put together." #orpol #Yesonstudentsuccess

[A Better Oregon @BetterOregon]

And we have a quorum. The Senate is expected to vote on the Student Success Act this afternoon, a historic investment in Oregon students. #orpol #yesonstudentsuccess

[A Better Oregon @BetterOregon]

Tell @hansell4senate to stop hiding from the public and start serving his constituents. Call him today and urge him to get back to Salem so the Senate can vote on the Student Success Act: 503-986-1729 #orpol #orleg #YesOnStudentSuccess

[A Better Oregon @BetterOregon]

A tale of two walkouts:

> 30,000+ educators rallying across the state VS. 12 @ORSenateRs hiding from constituents

> Fighting FOR funding for students VS. Fighting AGAINST funding for students

> Showing up, rallying VS. hiding out-of-state

[A Better Oregon @BetterOregon]

Now it’s time for @ORSenateRs to stop hiding and start serving their constituents. Oregon students in your districts and across the state deserve a shot at a better future. #YesonStudentSuccess #orpol #orleg
