They know they will lose the vote because Republicans are in the minority and nine Oregon state senators have fled to neighboring states in order to deny the Democrat-dominated body the quorum needed to vote. The Governor has directed the state police to bring the Senators back to do their job and one of these legislators threatened to kill state policemen if they arrive to force him to attend the legislative session (“You better send bachelors and they better be heavily armed&rdquo, but now some of the very same militiamen involved in the Malheur standoff have announced they plan to rise to these senators’ defense. A “Rally To Take the Capitol” in Salem on Thursday.
