Ohio Blizzard

We are experiencing a blizzard in central Ohio. With snowfalls around 12" and powerful winds, most people have accepted the fact that the weekend will be spent inside at home.

*Ohio's 16th congressional district has a well-qualified Democrat for this fall's election. John Boccieri has accomplished a lot and intends to bring change to Washington. Here are some highlights from John's bio:

....Still a Major in the Air Force Reserve, John has served our nation in more than 40 countries and has 11 years of service in the U.S. Military. An aircraft commander aboard the C-30 Hercules, he recently deployed in four rotations in Iraq and Afghanistan in Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom....
...He worked to lower property taxes for working families and sponsored a bill to help grandparents raising their grandchildren with housing grants. John has fought for Ohio’s steel industry jobs, helped give seniors access to donated prescription drugs, co-sponsored legislation to safeguard pension funds from corporate greed, and has been an avid supporter of conservation efforts in Ohio....
....John’s record of standing up for Ohioans has earned accolades from groups throughout Ohio. He received the Merle Shoemaker award for integrity in office by Ohio Democrats and was recognized as the Legislator of the Year by the AMVETS and East Central Ohio Education Association in 2004. In addition, he received the 2006 Legislator of the Year award from the Ohio League of Sportsman for state conservation efforts....
