Keep the progress moving in Ohio and America

Election day is fast approaching. I have already voted and have volunteered for candidates I believe in. It is too easy to forget about events which transpired in the last ten years which brought us to the brink of financial disaster in September/October 2008. We are now in the midst of a slow but steady recovery. I regret that there are well too many folks unemployed and underemployed, but we have two choices in Ohio and across our great country.

We can choose to go back to the politics of large tax breaks to the richest folks without a way to pay for these tax breaks along with a shortsighted hands off deregulation of the banking/financial industries: We've already seen how these policies have panned out in the past for the period of 2001 through 2008.

Or we can continue to chart a new course which we began in 2009, I repeat, BEGAN in 2009. It is much too early to determine if this new course will lead us to the prosperity we saw in the 1990's, but I believe we should give it some time, say, perhaps, two more years to dig out of the eight year hole that George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and their comrades created with their ill conceived policies.

I believe in our President and in our leadership team in Ohio which includes Governor Ted Strickland and Atty General Richard Cordray. Having met these two men in person, I have looked into their eyes and can tell that they have our best interests at heart.

Please support our entire Democratic ticket in Ohio. Give us 8 years in Ohio to continue the slow but steady progress we have seen. The foundation has been laid and the future is bright if we have the courage to continue.

Thanks for reading and have a good evening !

I wonder what Rich Iott is going to dress up as for Halloween

Here is a link that is somewhat disturbing. I have a good friend whose parents lost many family
members during the reign of terror which was Nazi Germany. And our congressional candidate
dressed as one to "bond" with his son. Maybe they could have played catch with a baseball, or collected baseball cards, or golfed together.
