In this February 28, 2026, episode of Noncompliant America, host Joshua Michael interviews Cindy from Oregon Citizen (@oregoncitizen_), a native Oregonian and influential citizen journalist/activist focused on government transparency, fiscal accountability, and "detoxing from politics" to engage directly in governance. The discussion highlights widespread administrative waste in state grants (e.g., agencies retaining $500,000 to manage a $10 million grant, as revealed in Cindy's interview with Rep. Virgle Osborne), behind-the-scenes "arm-twisting" in the Democratic supermajority legislature (including a dramatic example from HB 4145 where a committee vote was halted and allegedly coerced), and citizen pushback against policies like tax hikes under Gov. Tina Kotek. Key topics include opposition to bills such as SB 1507 (partial disconnection from federal tax breaks, preserving state revenue but criticized as a tax increase) and SB 1599 (attempting to move a transportation tax referendum to May instead of November to avoid general election impact), successful referendums (e.g., the "No Gas Tax" effort with 250,000+ signatures), voter frustration across party lines, issues like homelessness, crime, and voter integrity, and the potential for a Republican gubernatorial win in 2026 amid growing momentum. Cindy emphasizes citizen engagement through public records requests, testimony, local involvement, and following legislation via her platform. The episode promotes the upcoming Oregon Voice Debate (a people-focused Republican primary debate hosted by Joshua Michael, with public-submitted questions and free rebroadcasts encouraged) as a key opportunity to energize voters and build toward reclaiming the governor's office.Links and References:Oregon Citizen's Website (Cindy's main platform for research, bill tracking, testimony guides, and citizen empowerment resources): https://www.oregoncitizen.com/

On this Valentine's Day special of Noncompliant America, host Joshua Michael exposes the latest regime push in Oregon: massive tax breaks and rezoning of nearly 2,000 acres of prime farmland for Big Tech data centers that will suck up water, spike power bills, kill jobs long-term, and hand windfalls to speculators, private equity like BlackRock, and cronies—while everyday Oregonians foot the bill and lose their voice.

We dive into the Hillsboro community uprising against Sen. Janine Sollman's shady bill, the governor's stacked "advisory" committee, and parallels to past resource thefts like Nestlé's water grabs. The awakening is real—people across party lines are rejecting the manipulation, the Overton window is swinging toward liberty, and grassroots resistance is sprouting everywhere.Special guest Ronnie Daniels joins to rip into fiscal insanity: exploding budgets, handouts to illegals, nonprofit waste on homelessness that only grows, skyrocketing utilities, and the urgent need for accountability—not more entitlement. He calls out the road to serfdom, praises boots-on-the-ground fighters like Rep. Ed Diehl, and demands Republicans go on the offense.We break big news: The Oregon Voice GOP Governor Debate is set for April 2 at Salem's Historic Grand Theater—public-submitted/voted questions, youth focus, live-streamed transparency to ditch curated BS and put real issues (voter ID, border, economy, self-governance) front and center. Tickets at aftontickets.com/oregonvoicedebate. Submit questions soon—your voice matters.This isn't defense; it's offense. Peaceful noncompliance is the counterculture. The future looks bright when We the People stop playing their game and start building our own.#TeamHumanity #NonCompliant #OregonAwakening #StopTheLandGrab #oregonvoicedebate #LibertyOverTyranny(Include clips/artwork: protest footage from Hillsboro, data center imagery, debate promo graphic, or chains-breaking visuals to fit the vibe.)
