       Email: Ted Stickland for Ohio Governor

From Jesse Taylor

H.L.,
I am Jesse Taylor The director of online Communications for Ted Srickland who is running for Governor of Ohio, as a Democrat against Ken Blackwell.
"[Ken] Blackwell made clear that he wanted no part of being secretary of state. "The only thing worse than running for secretary of state would be being secretary of state," he told the Dayton Daily News last January."

Cleveland Plain Dealer, July 31, 1998

For the past eight years, Ohio’s election system has paid the price for Ken Blackwell’s utter lack of concern about his job.

Now, he wants to be governor.

This week, Ohio took a huge step towards removing the stain of Republican corruption and incompetence on our state by choosing Ted Strickland as the Democratic nominee for governor: Ted Strickland.com.
Ted is a former Methodist minister and administrator at a Methodist children’s home, a trained psychologist and the current U.S. Representative for Ohio’s Sixth District, a three hundred mile swath of Southeastern Ohio.
Ted is fighting to take back the Ohio Statehouse from the GOP for the first time since 1990. To that end, he’s proposed a innovative and bold plan called Turnaround Ohio – proposals which will revitalize Ohio’s economy and educational system through targeted, fiscally responsible investment: http://www.testrickland.com/vision.
That isn’t the only reason why Ted can and will win in November. Ted also provides a stark contrast to Ken Blackwell’s regrettable record.
Where Blackwell is so extreme on abortion that he refuses to consider it even if a woman’s life is in danger, Ted is committed to vetoing any legislation that would take away a woman’s right to choose.
Where Blackwell wants to enact an even worse version of Colorado’s TABOR in Ohio, Ted has served with real fiscal discipline by opposing Bush’s tax cuts, voting for the balanced budgets in Congress that led to unprecedented peace and prosperity, and has given back nearly $50,000 in unaccepted Congressional health insurance and pay raises.
Where Blackwell is bitterly divisive, Ted has a record of winning in Bush-leaning counties, and doing so overwhelmingly.

I’m asking that you let your readers know about this race and about Ted. You know how bad Ken Blackwell would be for Ohio – we and Democrats around Ohio would be greatly appreciative if you could help spread the word about Ohio’s best hope to stop him: Ted Strickland.

Thanks so very much,

Jesse Taylor
