There is a Democratic kid named Corey Foister running in Ohio’s 8th CD for Boehner's seat. That’s right, John fucking Boehner. This is not an impossible win for the kid. It’s a special election this Tuesday, June 7th. 5 days from now.
It’s not a primary, it’s not the general election, it’s a special election and not a whole lot of people turn out for special elections. Especially since the Republicans think they have this one in the bag. We have a chance to take the bag away from them though and they’ll never see it coming.
We just need to get as many Democrats as possible to show up and vote instead of staying home and watching some reality show about naked people surviving a first date on an island. This special election is going to be much more exciting, believe me.
If all the people who showed up to vote for Hillary and Bernie in the primary show up to vote for this kid Tuesday, he wins. That’s in everyone's best interest; Ted Strickland, Hillary and Bernie. All of Ohio is going to look great. People will be saying “Look how strong the Democrats are.” "Look what they did in Ohio".
They’ll be saying “Holy Shit, that Daily Kos is one powerful blog!” and Kos will be making the rounds of the talk shows. This kid, Corey Foister will be sworn into Boehner's seat for 7 months at least. That will be amazing and we can make it happen.
I’m starting by emailing everyone on my list to ask if they know anyone in the Ohio’s 8th Congressional District. I’m going to ask them to email everyone in their email list to ask the same thing.
I’m going to see if I can help by volunteering over the weekend in any way. Maybe phone banking. I really do want to help and all but I live in TN and if I can drink Pina Colada’s while I do it, well then I’m just one happy volunteer.
If you worked with the Hillary or Bernie campaigns in Ohio, please give them a call. Explain to them how important this is, what a powerful message we can send by doing this.
I’m going to be calling Ted Strickland’s campaign to point out how great it will be for him if this kid wins. His number is 614.804.3160.
I’ll be calling the Ohio Democratic Party Chairman David Pepper, his number is 614.221.6563, and tell him to back this kid.
I’m going to be calling and emailing all the county Democratic Parties that the 8th district represents and tell them to back this kid.
