To the editor: We may not be the one’s yelling, but we are the ones who are thankful for all the work Greg Walden is doing for us. Most recently he has worked to fix some of the forest management at Crooked River Ranch, passed legislation to end the opioid crisis, worked to expand rural broadband, and obtained a pardon for Dwight and Steven Hammond — and all of this has happened in just a little over a month.

To the editor: The Hammond pardon was secured by a great many people. It was like a huge jigsaw puzzle with many different pieces which all had to go together at the right time to make it happen. Everyone was working to correct and make right a grave injustice. Congressman Walden was a big piece of the puzzle to help secure the presidential pardon for Dwight and Stephen Hammond of Harney County.

To the editor: I support Gregg Walden for his efforts and success in which he lobbied the White House for the pardon of Dwight and Steven Hammond. Thank you also to the Oregon Cattlemen’s Association and Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke who also supported the Hammonds.

To the editor: An open letter to U.S. Rep. Greg Walden: When I was growing up in The Dalles (along with you), my personal conscience was once described to me as this sharp cornered thing inside me that would rotate when I did something wrong and the pain it caused was my sense of guilt letting me know I was doing something wrong.
