Southern Oregon

An official Smashboards thread for the use of posting public Smash Bros. information in regards to the southern areas of Oregon; south of Portland.
To be read in a 1700's Jeffersonian accent:
The Declaration of the regions of Southern Oregon
When in the course of Smash Community events it becomes necessary for one region to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all Smashers are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience has shown that Smashers are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these regions; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the current heads of Northern Oregon is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over Southern Oregon. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
"A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people."
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Portland brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their agendas to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our presence here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

- Their complete disregard for all regions of Oregon outside their own when publishing information.
- Misrepresentation of State Rankings.
- Proclamations in name of Oregon without the consent of the Smashers.
- Consolidating an Oligarchy to push agendas that benefit those in supposed authority.
- Pushing rhetoric and tyranny of majority as sole excuse to disregard reasoning and wishes of the people.
- Composed a goon squad and sent hither sycophants to harass any people that question the supposed authority.
- Excited domestic insurrections amongst us.
- In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury.

This thread is a base of work to bolster our local communities without being impeded by any outside our region.
