1. I Speak For Many Here In Ohio When I Say The Stakes Are Too High For Inaction

as a resident, as a student, as a volunteer, and as a Democrat I can say with absolute certainy that many of my fellow buckeyes are absolutely aware of the implications of this year, of this election, not only in this state, but the implications of this state on the future of our country and I personally couldn't live with myself if I sat on my hands while radical right wing extremist spread fear and misimformation in an attempt to steal another election and roll back on decades of progress we have made all the while absolutely dismantilying unions and middle class workers and families here in Ohio

Yet the one thing I think that we can all agree on is the fact this election will be decided by this state and we cannot falter, we cannot set back, we cannot take one single vote for granted because this will be a close election, and although I cannot fathom anyone here in Ohio supporting Rommney when he has so openly called for the disintegration of the automotive industry and the unions, and the teachers, and the firefighters and the police officers, I absolutely cannot justify in my mind how, why, when and where anyone who earns a paycheck would vote for a candidate that is so dangerously extreme and someone who says openly that this country does not need the many hardworking automotive & factory workers or police, fire, educational, and organized labor groups that are the heart of the people of the state of Ohio...

Yet if past elections have shown in Ohio, no matter how extreme, no matter how wrong or out of touch Republican candidates are, they can and they will smear and steal an election in a heartbeat.

I urge all, even if your not a resident of Ohio, please if you can, if it is possible, do what you can to help support not only President Obama's Re-Election bid here in Ohio, but also lend a hand anyway you can for the many state and local races here in Ohio because I believe that not only could and most likely will Ohio be the deciding factor in the Presidential Election, but additionally such important races here in Ohio like Sherrod Brown's US Senate Re-Election bid, as well as the many congressional races could and most likely will be a key to a Democratic Majority.

To All My Fellow Ohioans and volunteers on the ground here in Ohio, regardless of the uncertainy of the election results in Wisconsin which many including myself became very discouraged about the chances of winning Ohio, I have just three words for you, "YES WE CAN"
