More help for Atkinson

I have created the Jason Atkinson for Governor of Oregon Blog Network.  Look along the right-hand sidebar and you will see it.

I took the liberty of including a few blogs I am pretty sure are onboard.  If you would like to have your blog added to this blogroll, here are the rules:

1) Copy the script below and place it on your blog.

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="http://rpc.blogrolling.com/display.php?r=ca8c47cb3777320a3bd0b4697882dc21"></script>

2) Next to the blogroll, place a relevant picture or button.  I used this photo from the Senator's legislature web page:

3) Link that picture or button to Jason Atkinson for Governor of Oregon.

4) Include a link to this post, so your readers can find out how to join as well.

5) Make sure all the above is easy to find on your blog!  And put some sort of label on it, so your readers know what the blogroll represents.

6) Send an e-mail to the blogroll address, including the name and URL of your blog, expressing your desire to be included.

It's that simple!

I don't get the procedure...

I did endorse Jason on my blog back in April however... so if that is what you are looking for...

[Gullyborg]

The procedure is to join the blogroll. You put the blogroll code on your blog, and in return you get your blog added to the blogroll. Thus, reciprocal links are created, boosting blog traffic.

If you want in, shoot me an e-mail and I'll add your blog to the blogroll.

[Bob]

I'll have a one-shot cut and paste up by tomorrow evening.

[Gullyborg]

Thanks Bob! I added a link back to this post to your code, so anyone using it should automatically refer their readers back to this page--hopefully, readers will want to join and this will snowball until we get most of the conservative blogs onboard.

I'm in... although I'm concerned about the ethics of voting for a Republican for Governor who wasn't previously a Democrat...

Isn't there a state law against voting for actual Republicans?

[Tammy Brotton]

we are endorsing senator Jason Atkinson for Govenor
Senator Gary George and a few others would like to see Jason Atkinson for Govenor
Senator Gary George is a senator who gets things done
and so will Jason Atkinson if he wins Govenor.

[Tammy Brotton]

Im endorsing Jason Atkinson for Govenor Take a look around you how has Demonrats helped us in measure 37 Just check out oregon lives in oregon Live how Ted K went against the will of the peoples votes in Measure 37 and measure 36 stands a change of being overturned how has Mannix or Ted K helped in those areas Jason Atkinson will stand for Measure 37 he will give the votes back to the people and so will he in measure 36 with no civil unions.

[Tammy Brotton]

we need to have Government that gives the will back to the people in votes that our votes Actually count if we the people voted for Measure 37 why did they go against the will of the people and or measure 36 or any issue people vote on it should not be just special interests in Government but the will of the peoples votes Matter.for more information on these topics check out oregon live.com

[Gullyborg]

wow! what enthusiasm!

[Tammy Brotton]

what concerns me is our free speach I am just a volunteer and a voter and not paid or anything but oregon has the vote by Mail system going where we vote by mail it worries me
especially the will of the people have voted for measure 37 and Ted k overturned the peoples votes how has demonrats helped us yet if you care about the rights of free speech please endorse Jason Atkinson for Govenor he will bring the will of the peoples votes back.

[joe's pizza]

Please check your facts DANEquerus. Senator George has not to my knowledge come out in favor of Jason Atkinson. You could show me where I'm wrong, however.

You should check with him first hand to find out where he stands and why he maybe is another rock solid conservative colleague who has yet to endorse Jason.

You heard the most principled house member, Jeff Kropf (and also real good friend of Jason) endorse Saxton today. The few principled members of the legislature who are not or havent endorsed Jason is deafening.

Hopefully Jason will grow thru this experience and become a full time dedicated Senator with firm proposals to show himself a true leader. IMO, he's not ready for the post.

[Tammy Brotton]

It does not matter if Senator Gary george or Jeff support Jason or not we will.Jeff and gary George are going wrong Direction
My support is for Jason Atkinson for Govenor. he has stood behind us in the senate agains't civil uions and we will stand behind him he has stood for moral and principal

[Tammy Brotton]

It does not matter if senator Gary George and or Jeff kropf support Jason or not my support of Jason still remains strong for him I have proof he can stand up to things Jason can I am one worried about free speech and religious rights especially for radio stations and amongst even what we can talk about on blogs even some other blogs such as even yahoo or aol has been difficult to post thoughts on Jason will stand behind us on those issues he did so in the senate against Kate brown and we will stand behind him
politics should not be about money but about moral and principal.

[Tammy Brotton]

and by the way Jason stands agains't Kate brown in the senate he can stand
agains't things Maybe you should check his records in legislature on it Ron saxton has not done squate in the senate so how do you know if he stands for anything...Jason has already stood agains't the evil acluer herself Kate brown I respect him for it

[Tammy Brotton]

Jason can stand up for alot he does in the senate take a look here at this article from world net daily.
Oregon to OK same-sex unions?
Bill expected to pass Senate today, but likely DOA in House
Posted: July 8, 2005

Though a bill to establish same-sex civil unions in Oregon is headed for likely passage in the state Senate today, opponents of the measure are confident it will die a quick death in the House of Representatives.

SB 1000 would give same-sex couples benefits similar to those of marriage. The bill also includes language outlawing discrimination against homosexuals in jobs, housing and public accommodation.

The Oregon Senate consists of 18 Democrats and 12 Republicans. Two Republicans who co-sponsored the bill likely will vote in favor and potentially all the Democrats. The bill passed the Senate Rules Committee June 23.

Said Senate Majority Leader Kate Brown: "The Oregon Senate will be making a very important statement about prohibiting discrimination in this state and providing all of Oregon's families with stability and security."

If the bill becomes law, Oregon would be the third state to establish civil unions. Vermont has civil unions and Connecticut will begin offering them in October. Massachusetts is the only state that allows same-sex couples to marry.

Pro-family advocates are confident, however, the civil-unions bill will be dead on arrival in the House of Representatives, which is controlled by the Republicans.

"It will never be heard of again," Cheri Adkins, an aide to Republican Sen. Jason Atkinson, told WND. Atkinson voted against the bill in committee and planned to do the same on the Senate floor.

Even the homosexual website 365gay.com reported the bill's chances in the House are "slim and none."

GOP House Speaker Karen Minnis has said the civil-unions section of the bill violates the state's constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage.

Republicans charge Democrats with using the bill as a tool to curry favor with the homosexual community, all the while knowing the measure wouldn't see the light of day in the House of Representatives.

"This bill is just for show," Adkins said.

Oregon Family Council has been active in opposing SB 1000.

"The bill is pretty flawed in that it literally changes or amends every marriage law in the state," Mike White, executive director of the organization, told WND. "In some cases it actually removes terms like 'husband' and 'wife' and replaces them with 'spouse.'"

White noted last fall Oregon voters approved by a 58-42 percent margin a ballot initiative defining marriage as between a man and a woman.

"Another concern is the bill gives minority-status protection to sexual behavior," White said. "That's disturbing to us."

White contends homosexuals in Oregon are not discriminated against, saying the bill's proponents couldn't cite one specific example during committee hearings.

The activist agreed the legislation amounts to a "political favor" because proponents know it has virtually no chance of becoming law.

Democratic Gov. Ted Kulongoski supports the bill and has said he would sign it if it reached his desk.
