Jason Atkinson: A Guiding Light For Oregon
Some of you may ignore Jason Atkinson simply because he is young but that would be foolish. Jason Atkinson appears to be a politician who has a real sense of commitment and duty to the state of Oregon and it's residents. He has taken some criticism lately over his views on illegal immigration but if you revisit his ideals you will see that what he supports are things such as better legislation to assist in job growth for Oregonians, laws that will keep citizens safe from predators and keeping Oregon beautiful by supporting conservation.
I would suggest that any of you who care about Oregon and the future of the state to take a good look at what Jason Atkinson really stands for and in November ask yourself which is better, to cast a vote for a candidate like Jason who really cares or waste a vote on a typical cookie-cutter politician who will continue supporting special interests and protecting their political careers.
The choice is yours Oregon.

As an Atkinson supporter, I appreciate the message of this post. But having read previous posts and comments from you that are more negative about Jason, I am confused--perhaps it would be a good service for your readers if you went over all the good and bad, and offered up one long, detailed post that sums up how you really feel about the candidates this year.
