My name is John Boccieri and I would like to take this opportunity to thank the the online community for the tremendous support that has already been shown to my campaign for Congress in Ohio's 16th District
I offer my sincere gratitude to the men and women of VoteVets.org and to General Wesley Clark’s WesPAC for their support of my campaign.
I also want to express my thanks to Markos for his front page post about our campaign ("OH-16: Regula is in for the fight of his life.")
The online communities have given us overwhelming momentum. But TODAY Saturday, June 30, we have a deadline looming.
I need your help to raise $15,000 by the end of today for our first FEC filing. This election for Congress is important for our nation and our troops.
We need someone in Congress who understands that giving speeches about how much we honor our veterans, doesn't count for much if we place them in rat infested hospitals back home or they can't get access to the health care they deserve. We need someone in Congress who won't raise his own pay while voting against providing a bonus to our troops in Iraq.
As a C-130 pilot in the Air Force Reserve, and after serving four rotations in Operation's Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom, I say we need someone in Congress who believes its time to bring home our troops, safely, honorably and soon.
I recognize that it is a big responsibility to serve in Congress, and I'd be honored to serve.
This call to duty begins with your support today - Thank you for joining me in this fight. Thank you for your commitment.
Your contribution of $10, $25, or $50 dollars, will give us the needed resources to win this seat and chart a new course for America!

Any donation that you can afford to make will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
State Senator John Boccieri
