 And we want the government of Oregon to
understand that we are Oregonians.

Governor Atiyeh has come from Lebanon. His
father may have come, that does not matter. If he
can be an Oregonian, why cannot you be an
Oregonian? In fact, everybody in America is a
foreigner except the Red Indians. Others have
invaded the country. They have entered the country
without any visa. They have exploited the poor
people of the country. Their forefathers had no
green cards...
