Work to Turn the 15th Blue

We have less than 2 years until the next election for Ohio's 15th congressional district. In the meantime, we have to start working now to bring in more Democrats for this district. Why? Examine some of Republican Rep. Deborah Pryce's votes:

Pryce:
Voted No on $84 million in grants for Black and Hispanic colleges. (Link)
Voted YES on allowing school prayer in schools during the war on terror.(Link)
Voted YES on giving federal funding only to schools allowing voluntary prayer. (Link)
Voted YES on deauthorizing "critical habitat" for endangered species. (Link)
Voted YES on continuing intelligence gathering without civil oversight. (Link)
And, of course, Pryce voted against raising the minimum wage 7 times.

Pryce calls herself a moderate, but she has continued to march in lockstep with the right wing conservatives of her party. Also, Pryce is a puppet for big corporations, oil PACs, and other well-funded groups who have contributed millions of dollars to her campaigns. Pryce won by only 1,000 votes this time and she will be even more vulnerable in the next election.
