I am so very tired of seeing these inaccurate commercials being run for the republican candidate for senate. Bob Strictland was governor of Ohio from 2007 to 2011. Who else was in office the first 2 years of Strickland’s term of office. That's right, George Bush, unarguably the worst president in modern history. I seem to recall that Bush put the economy in the tank during those years.

Governor Strictland, started to cut state spending. In January 2008 he ordered a 733 million reduction in state spending. Seeing that the Bush economy was tanking the country in September 2008, he ordered another 540 million in state spending.

Now you see he did not order a tax increase like republicans like to charge the Democrats do all the time. He did however see the need for additional revenue so in 2009 he canceled the final year of a five-year income tax cut that had started in 2005 under the previous republican administration. This action took $844 million in tax refunds planned for Ohioans and instead gave it to the government to fill the budget gap.

Strickland's has been accused of draining the state's rainy day fund. Well, that is actually true. The state's rainy day fund was reduced from $1 billion to 89 cents in order to balance the state budget. Some estimates claim Ohio would have experienced a $7 billion deficit if Strickland hadn't made such moves and cuts to the Ohio budget.

All in all I see a man who being faced with the worst economy since the great depression of the 1930’s did his best to keep Ohio working and fiscally sound and I know if he gets the chance will make a great United States Senator.

Is it time for a medical service corps?

The sorry state of the healthcare system in the United States is abysmal. While the Affordable Care Act is a beginning step, it’s not going to fix what is wrong with the healthcare system in the United States. We are still dealing with for profit insurance companies.
We need another solution if we want to provide for the general welfare as instructed in the preamble to our Constitution. The capitalistic system has brought us to where we are now. It's time to try something else.

According to an article in The Columbus Dispatch, True the Vote that wanted to monitor 30 Franklin County polling places for potential voter fraud was thwarted by county elections officials because their appointments were improperly filed.
read the article here.
this is good news for keeping Franklin county blue. I voted, have you?

With the republican assault on the Post Office, we need to let the men and woman that thru rain & shine, cold & snow bring us the mail that we care. I have drafted a small note to the present gentleman that brings us our mail. It reads:
To our letter carrier;
This family believes in YOU,
YOUR UNION
And an independent USPS.
The American people will not let the republicans destroy the USPD.
We have your back!!!

I would suggest we do this on Monday, Oct. 3 2011. Lets let them know we care!!

According to the prestigious EIB (Excellence in Buttkissing) listening to right wing radio can (and usually does) cause rectal cancer. Yes, listening to viewpoints so far removed from reality requires either your head stuck so far up your ass that you live in an alternate universe or you pull your talking points out of your ass.
The American Institute of Proctologists recommends that you listen less then 1 hour per day. Any more than that can cause you to help before mentioned Proctologists buy that next Cadillac.
More over flip

I am extremely disappointed on the way our so called Democratic reps voted on the health care bill.The marginalization of our sisters in the abortion amendment was the so called straw. We need to organize our assets here at Kos.

This will be a short diary. Probably shorter that the legal size. I'm not bothered by that. I am bothered by the amount of republican talking points put out by the obama supporters. This site has been taken over by them. I do not enjoy all of the over the top rhetoric.

I subscribed the first day they were offered. All went well for about 2 weeks. Then when I would log in I would get invalid user or password. No big deal I thought, I will just request another password. I've requested 3 passwords and none of them work. I have written the webmaster 3 times. I have heard NOTHING in return. I have written Stephanie twice. I have heard NOTHING in response. Of course, yesterday they charged my credit card another 7.95. I am calling my bank today and canceling the deduction form my account. So if you want to throw away 8 dollars a month go ahead and subscribe. I am going to listen to the show today and I am going to write all of her advertisers and tell them of what shitty service I got and that I will not buy any products advertised on her show because of the HORRIBLE response I got from her & her people.
