The Blogosphere Takes Note of Mike

DownWithTyranny, one of the big national bloggers, has posted an extended article on Mike detailing why he believes the Netroots should get involved in our campaign. I recommend you check it out if you have the time.

DownWithTyranny has also added Mike to Blue America fundraising page on Act Blue, which is maintained by DownWithTyranny, FireDogLake, and Crooks & Liars. Mike is now on the list alongside other Netroots heros like Jon Tester, Francine Busby and Jerry McNerney. Mike is also the first Oregonian chosen for the list and only the second canididate running for a state legislature.

Again, Mike is very excited about the involvement of the Netroots in his race. This campaign is about people-powered politics, which is a sharp contrast to the special interest-powered politics of Mike's opponent, Wayne Scott.

So thank you for your support in this campaign. With your help, we can elect Mike to the state legislature and send a message of change to Salem and across this country.

Hey readers!
Look for an in-depth interview with Mike, appearing at Loaded Orygun in the next couple of days...I'm just finishing the transcript of our talk in his Oregon City office last week. Why is Wayne Scott so wrong for the 39th? What should the role of community colleges be in our smaller cities and towns? Why are there fewer troopers on the highway and more kids per class in the schools in Wayne's district, and what will Mike do about it? Find out the answers soon...
