Welcome to "Where is Joe Atkins?" The site was created to shed light on a voting record that has been discussed very little since he came into office several years ago. Members of the 39b Republicans, and others who may be interested, will be asked to post their research on Representative Joe Atkins and his voting record.

ReplyDeleteI wanted to see how incumbent Representative Joe Atkins rated on Abortion issus, and I was not surprised by the results. Here is how he rated each of the last two years.
2009 Representative Atkins supported the interests of the Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life 0 percent in 2009.
2008 Based on a point system, with points assigned for actions in support of or in opposition to Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life's position, Representative Atkins received a rating of 0.
(To see where all of House representatives for Minnesota House rated with Pro Life, check out their website at http://votesmart.org/issue_rating_detail.php?r_id=4896
This is exactly the right approach- Joe wants to point out the 5% of his votes that address carefully selected issues that make him appear moderate. Someone needs to just lest EVERY vote and what the bill was for.
