The Senate Democrats came up with a plan to stop some of the kickbacks and unfair trade practices.
So far it has fallen on deaf ears. Korea sold 275,000 Autos in America last year and only accepted 4,000 from America Mfg.?
This Republican Majority don't even have an oversight Committee to find out why the large gap? Someone is getting big kickbacks and a lot of Americans are losing jobs.
When will the people put the Democrats in the majority so we will have the power to put a stop to such unfair and corrupt practices?

For anyone who is interested, I've got some information about Sherrod Brown's "Democratic" challenger in the Ohio senate race now that Hackett has dropped out. (Click my name).

"Where is Paul Hackett?"

Why, backstabbed by the DCSS, and Swiftboated by the other State Democrats of course...it is the new strategy the DNC is employing to gain more Veteran Support with the "Band of Bothers". This will help them with the veteran vote, and other blue collar people that are needed to win Ohio. You see, the more we backstab Veterans, especially Decorated well spoken straight shooting OIF war Veterans...the more appealing we will be, you know, to everyone.
What the party needs now, is a guy like Brown. You know, a Washington insider, a real tea drinking liberal... I think his hyperverbalizations and political angles, and bloviating will be very appealing to the working class in Ohio, the kind of man I would expect to see at a Blue Collar type bar...a Man I can trust! Kind of guy I want leading me into combat, so he can have his cronies accuse me of war crimes later, then deny any knowledge, in a sort of round about politcal way, that never really addresses the issue of if such attacks are true, or if they are moral.
So, there you have it...

Boy-oh-boy, I hope Judge O'Neill has enough valid signatures!

Won't it be so sweet - truly delicious if he can win with out accepting any money at all? I'm gonna see if I can help him in any way he needs... I hope you other Ohioans do the same. This guy is the real deal, and if he can win without money, it'll change everything.

A real grassroots party doesn't need money at the statewide level... let's give the Judge the support he deserves!

er, correction: a real grassroots party doesn't need money for individual candidates at the statewide level.

Hi and my comments are regarding the discussion article in Dispatch today by Marc Dann and Chandre. They mentioned Montgomery's poor job performance. Here is a fact--Montgomery and Petro were sitting board members of STRS while our former director robbed us retirees and current teachers blind with all kinds of illegal stuff. It took terrific effort on the part of a superintendent of schools named Dennis Leone to get the crook out. Neither Montgomery nor Petro did anything to assist Mr. Leone to remove the crook. Montgomery, Petro, are now off the board by a law passed which showed conflict of interest. Bring this out during the campaign please as it will be important to a lot of us present and former teachers.
