Lindland wins the primary election

The primary election is over and against the predictions of all the “certified smart” people I won the primary by a margin of 59% to 41%. That was a whopping 19 point margin. Truly unexpected.

However, I could not have done it without the help of folks like you. Since I am not a “politician” the special interest groups were lined up against me and supported my opponent. I had to rely on the financial support of average folks to get the word out about my campaign and I am exceedingly grateful for your support.

Now the big work begins. We have to move on to the general election campaign and again I am up against your standard politician, and again I am counting on hundreds of supporters to help me out.

Your financial support is pivotal in helping me pay for mailings, radio ads and lawn signs. Your support will also help me in sending a strong message to the special interests that might want to get involved in this campaign. If they see that I am supported by hundreds of individuals then they will be more likely to stay out of the race on the side of my opponent.

This seat in Oregon is an “open” seat, which means there is no incumbent in the race. This particular district has traditionally been a Republican district and I am the Republican candidate with a strong independent streak.

I hope you will visit my website (http://mattfororegon.com/) and make a contribution to my campaign. It is easy to do. Simply click on the “Donate” button and fill out the information. Many of you have already done so.

If you reside in Oregon you can take advantage of the “Oregon political tax credit.” That allows you to deduct, dollar for dollar, up to $50 from your STATE income tax return. Or if you are married they will allow you to deduct up to $100 from your STATE return.

In essence, if you are in Oregon, your political donation is free.

I believe in limited government principles. I believe that the state of Oregon is taxing businesses too much and creating more and more road blocks to business expansion and job creation. My opponent is getting her marching orders from her caucus and will undoubtedly move the state in the wrong direction.

Once again I want to ask for your help. I have a strong stable of dedicated volunteers but I need to get them materials for distribution. In order to compete against my opponent I need to pay for mailings, radio ads, newspaper ads and lawn signs.

If everyone receiving this email were to respond with a contribution, of any size, it will shock, again, the “certified smart” people of politics.

Thank you for your help in the primary election and thank you in advance for your help in the general election.

Sincerely,

Matt “the law” Lindland.
