Governor Strickland's support for Issue 2, the corporate attempt to hi-jack the state Constitution by agri-business, leads me to call upon Jerry Springer to challenge Governor Strickland for the Democratic nomination for Ohio governor.
Governor Strickland has regularly dissed his left flank since taking office.
He has drastically cut the social safety net. He has forsaken renewable energy sources and supported dirty Big Coal, Oil and Nuke power instead. He has been silent about single-payer, Medicare for All which would save the state and local levels of government billions of dollars each year by reducing the cost of health insurance for public employees.
Governor Strickland helped to unconstitutionally rob Attorney General Marc Dann of his elected office. He continues to support the death penalty. And, he appointed Taft/Bush acolytes throughout state government.
Ohio continues to be on the wrong track. Strickland's trickle-down, Reaganomics will not bring back our manufacturing and innovative base.
The people of Ohio decisiviely voted for real change in 2006 and 2008. Governor Strickland deserves a Democratic primary challenge from someone who will not be beholden to corporate and tycoon campaign contributors.
Jerry, you've made enough money. Come on home.
Springer for Governor in 2010!
Let Jerry know that Ohio needs him. Here's a link to his Facebook page:
