Klamath Falls, OR— A ‘Protection Walk’ against efforts to build a liquid natural gas (LNG) pipeline from Coos Bay to Malin took place in Klamath Falls on October 9, 2016.
Chief Walking Eagle says it’s not only Native Americans that should be concerned about pipelines… “We all need to work together at this. Not just one band of people, but all people need to know about what’s happening.”
“We all need to work together at this. Not just one band of people, but all people need to know about what’s happening.”
Backers say the 1.7 billion dollar pipeline would create nearly 5,000 jobs – but Renee Frye disagrees: “There are other places to get jobs. We only have one Mother Earth.”
Today April 28, 2018, a Campaign Rally Against the Pacific Connector Gas Pipeline was held at Sugarman's Corner, 533 Main St., Klamath Falls. There was a petition made available to be signed by those passing by or those in attendance.
Michael Byrne was talking to people in attendance or people passing by about the petition and his candidacy for U.S. Representative for Oregon’s second congressional district.
Michael Byrne is out to unseat Congressman Greg Walden as the U.S. Representative for Oregon’s second congressional district. Byrne said he doesn’t believe Walden represents the actual people in his district.
“The reason I’m a Democrat is because Walden is a Republican, Byrne said. Byrne pointed out that he’s not a lawyer or a career politician. “I’m a regular person,” he said. “My perspective is I know how it works, because I’m on the ground.”
If elected, Byrne said, during his first term he’d get in touch with people who feel the same way he feels about an issue so that he would have a stronger voice.
He said he filed to run against Walden because he realized that someone had to do something.
I am a 65 year old grandfather who goes to work every day as a union stonemason to build lasting works of beauty, support my family and contribute to the quality of life we all share in Oregon’s Mighty District 2.
Together we can Kick Walden Out and get Oregon back on the Path to Progress

Jordan Cove is proposing to build an LNG export terminal on dredging spoils on a sand spit (an unstable sand dune area) located in a Coastal Shoreland of the Coos Estuary.

Jordan Cove is proposing to build an LNG export terminal on dredging spoils on a sand spit (an unstable sand dune area) located in a Coastal Shoreland of the Coos Estuary. This is a shorebird habitat area and not an industrial area. The proposed “greenfield” LNG project would not only negatively impact coastal shorelands, it would be located in a tsunami inundation and earthquake subduction zone, directly across the Coos Estuary (less than a mile) from the cities of North Bend, Coos Bay and the Southwest Oregon Regional Airport. LNG tankers would pass within feet of the end of the airport runway.
Close to 17,000 citizens living in the area would be located in Jordan Cove’s LNG hazardous burn zones. Sunset and Madison schools in Coos Bay would be located in Jordan Cove’s tanker burn zone that would put children at risk of receiving 2nd degree burns within 30 seconds on exposed skin should there be an accident with the LNG tanker ship in the bay and a pool fire was to develop.
