I had the unique opportunity to sit on a jury early on in Rod's career. Long before he became an OBRA member. He is a remarkable attorney. I strongly support his campaign. I made a contribution ten days ago. Please consider the endorsements from Joe, Mark and myself and follow our actions with your support and votes for Rod.

> If you’re sick and tired of road rage-crazed motorists harassing cyclists, please join me in doing what you can to support OBRA/Bridgetown Velo rider Rod Underhill for Multnomah County DA. In addition to his career as an deputy district attorney and his passion for bike racing, Rod is a husband and dad who understands how important it is to protect us on the roads and to stick up for cyclist’s rights. You can bet that if the District Attorney directs his deputy district attorneys and the police and sheriff’s departments to take a hard line arresting and prosecuting motorists who harass cyclists, the situation out there will improve quickly.

> Individuals in Oregon get a $50 tax credit (not a deduction but a 100% credit) and joint filers get a $100 tax credit for a single political contribution. So you can contribute $50 (or $100 jointly with your spouse) to Rod’s campaign and fully recover your contribution with a $50 (or $100) credit against your next state income tax payment! http://oregontaxcredit.com/
