What you can do

 

Join thousands of Oregonians in preserving our rights as citizens, particularly the Right to Vote on significant if not monumental and culturally destructive bills and laws, and thereby protect and preserve our families, our religious freedoms, the eternal rules of Order and Right, and good government.

 

1.     Participate in the signature gathering effort. Sign up as a petition ‘circulator’ and discover the important ways you can help to repeal both bills.

 

2.     Make a contribution to Concerned Oregonians, the Political Action Committee that has been formed to assist in placing Initiatives 145 and 146 on the November ballot.

Note: Contributions to Concerned Oregonians are not deductible as charitable contributions or as a business expense for federal or Oregon income tax purposes.

 

 

10,000 Oregonians Are Needed

 

10,000 Oregonians utilizing the Oregon Political Tax Credit by donating $50 - $100  translates into:

 

$750,000.

 

That is the amount needed to:

 

1.     Obtain 150,000 petition signatures on Initiatives 145 and 146 and…

2.     Conduct a Successful Campaign to Repeal Both laws in the November Election

 

The Oregon Political Tax Credit is one of Oregon’s greatest gifts to its citizens. An individual who gives up to, or more than $50 to a certified Oregon political action committee (PAC), which Concerned Oregonians is, can subtract $50.00 from the bottom line of their 2008 Oregon tax filing.  It is a credit, not a deduction.  A married couple that gives up to or more than $100 can subtract $100.00.*

 

10,000 Oregonians is only one out of every 40 eligible to Vote Evangelical and Born Again Christians in the State of Oregon, not to speak of the thousands who do not profess a belief in Christ, but hold the same moral views.

 

The Cost to Oregonians?

 

In the final analysis, the financial cost to those who contribute to this effort could be ‘Zero’!

 

Please stand with us to place these two bills before the voters of Oregon in November.

Sign up to be a ‘circulator’ TODAY, as an individual, a family, an organization, business, association, home group leader, or a church, if you are a pastor.

Consider the Cost…If we fail to rise to the challenge

 

When we prevail, the immoral and ungodly agenda of the homosexual movement will be set back not only in Oregon, but throughout the nation.  Failure to obtain even the required signatures however, will telegraph every GLBT organization in the nation that:

 

·         Christians will not stand and sacrifice for the very institutions that are fundamental to their faith.

·         Secularists, anti Christians, and homosexuals, will stand for what they want.

·         Those who want to change the definition of marriage, family, and morality, across the nation need only to persevere.

 

 

 

Please email or mail your friends and encourage them to visit www.concernedoregonians.com to sign up as a circulator and make a contribution to Concerned Oregonians.  Together, we can put  We have no 'deep pockets'. But what we do have is thousands of Oregonians who care about marriage, family, and the mores of our state and nation.  Please help us reach them, and send your contribution, of any size to:

“As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression.  In both instances, there is a twilight when everything remains seemingly unchanged.  And it is in such twilight that we all must be most aware of change in the air – however slight – lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness.”

 

William O. Douglas

Associate Supreme Court Justice   1939 – 1975
