A Timely Investment in Our Future
Just got this email from my friend John Kitzhaber running for Governor of Oregon. John’s got the drive to take on all of the non-sense you see going on in politics and, instead, solve problems and get something done for people. If you were ever going to donate to his campaign, particularly if you live in Oregon, now’s the perfect time. The campaign’s email explains why:
$50 doesn’t go as far as it used to. But a $50 contribution to Kitzhaber 2010 will give us the resources we need to create a better Oregon. Plus, if you donate before December 31st, you’ll get $50 back on your 2009 Oregon income taxes!
Donate today – give $50 today and get $50 back.
That’s right, your gift of $50 today, will get you $50 back on your taxes. It’s like getting something for nothing – and the something you get is a stronger Oregon. The Oregon political tax credit is $50 for individuals and $100 for couples, but it expires on December 31st. That’s just 3 weeks from today.
Donate today – give $50 today and get $50 back.
If you have already used your tax credit for 2009, we still hope that you can make a contribution today. This campaign is too important and the stakes are too high to sit on the sidelines.
With so much at stake this coming year, this is the perfect opportunity to invest in the future of Oregon and of this country. Please take a moment to help support Kitzhaber’s campaign to overcome partisan politics and solve the problems that are currently confronting all of us.
FULL DISCLOSURE: I’ve worked with John and been his friend since his first race in 1994, and I continue to advise and help him in any way I can.
