3. We, The Electorate of the State of Ohio Must Show Up On Election Day...

I am 1000% convinced that if the Democrats who supported President Obama in 2012 show up to vote this November, we will not only rid the Buckeye state of these Rethugs, we can forever change the way the state of Ohio conducts it elections, ensures the right\s of Unions & Union Workers, and ensure that the American people are confident that when the people of the state of Ohio go to the polls to vote, the results will reflect the will of the people, not the whim of technological malfunction and or election fraud....

I Support All Democratic Candidates Running For Office In My State, The State of Ohio, & I Will Show Up To Vote In November because if we can change this state, we can change this country & elect the Democratic Nominee for President with the Electoral Votes of the State of Ohio!

Please Do Whatever You Can To Support Ohio Democrats, I Do Not Exaggerate When I Say The Fate Of This Country Could Ultimately, Once Again, Rest In The Hands Of The Democratic Voters of the State of Ohio...

Happy 4th of July My Fellow Ohioans, My Fellow Americans, & Most Importantly, My Fellow Democrats. We Can And We Will Win These Vital Elections
