More endorsements from working women and men in Ohio

I'm happy to report that our campaign has picked up two more endorsements.

First, I received a letter dated August 2, 2006 from the Ohio Association of Public School Employees (OAPSE) announcing their support of my candidacy. The OAPSE represents over 38,000 working men and women who serve in schools, Head Starts, MRDD's and libraries in Ohio. I look forward to working with this group in the future for the betterment of Ohio.

Next, on August 6, I had the occasion to speak with Dave Sadowski, who is a Union Representative for the United Food & Commercial Workers Union, Local 911, and he informed me that the UFCW Local 911 had endorsed my candidacy. Local 911 represents over 8,000 working women and men in Northwest Ohio and I am proud and happy to accept their endorsement.

Again, I want to thank all the groups who are coming together to support our cause to send a message to the power brokers in Columbus that the status quo is no longer acceptable. We must demand change that will return the government to the people in Ohio and take it back from the special interests now in control. They have had their turn, now it is our turn to affect positive change that works for ordinary, law abiding citizens in our great state.

Thank you and good evening,

Mark
