Okay, here is my plan to help the Ohio Democrats and an idea for how you can help on a Grassroots

basis in your town or your district or your state...

First, I am going to get the House District breakout of the Health Care Benefits for GOP House Members from this wonderful site that BooinBloo posted just a few minutes ago...

Here is the link from his thread...

Next I am going to the Congressional Maps for each Republican District in Ohio that can be found here:

Then I am going to EMail the breakout to every Democratic Chairman in a GOP District. Then I am going to send a letter to each of the local papers in the GOP District with the Benefits spelled out. I think I will also send an EMail to the radio and TV stations in the District.

Of course I will preface this by asking if they know this was in the bill your republican congressperson voted against basically because they didn't want the president to have a political victory. And did they know there were over 200 GOP amendments added to the Bill before it was voted on on the floor.


I am going to do the same for the Democratic House Members, except Zack Space and Steve Driehaus because they voted against it, and point out that these are the tangible benefits from the just passed and signed Health Care Reform legislation. It makes no difference since the filing deadline has passed and these guys are safe, at least from the left...

I think if we all do this on a personal level, it will have a very good effect.

I have about seven tax returns I have to get done first but I promise you, I will get this all done before Monday.

How about you....

I went in half with my county Dem org. to put a quarter page ad in our local paper months ago with those figures for Jim Jordan to look at. Not much chance, but I'd do most anything to get rid of him.

My County has Dennis and Marcie Fudge so we are pretty well covered...

.... I live in a city that is the home of four insurance company headquarters and an idiot who openly declared health to be a privilege and not a right.

I feel powerless to do anything ... but your OP is very encouraging.
