Just came back from a Thank You rally for Sherrod Brown in Yorkville Ohio

He played a big part in getting a steel mill running again. It is supposed to start up early next year. Charlie Wilson our former
Congressman was also there, he was defeated by teabagger Bill Johnson in 2010. Charlie said the latest poll had him up 49 - 44 over
Johnson, so we may gain a seat in congress. Another major player was our State Senator Lou Gentle, he is sure winner. Senator Brown's
motorcade was made up of 4 made in Ohio Chevy Cruzes.

That kid he's running against would lose by 20+ points in a normal election.

Thanks, Citizens United.

Sherrod will win if he has just enough resources.

And we can't afford to lose him.

I think he is only up 1 point in the polls. We have been carpet bombed by
the Kock brothers, Karl Rove, Bob Murray and his War on Coal BS and others since the first of the year.

Congressman Bill Johnson never as much as made a phone call to help the
mill get going, I guess he doesn't care about good paying union jobs. Johnson has
got to go. Neither did Gov. Kasuck. After the announcement was made for the
restart Rethugs Kasuck and Johnson showed up with the owner taking credit.

think we will ever see Mingo run again thanks to W's depression! It's a shame this is the first time in nearly two hundred years there is no iron poured in this valley.
