**** Here are a few facts about Republican Steve Stivers as posted at Lobbyist for Congress:
Steve Stivers approved over $7,000,000 in taxpayer giveaways to Buckeye Check Cashing during his first day on the controlling board. [Ohio Controlling Board Minutes 1/9/06]

-On Stivers and taxes (Lobbyist for Congress):

The Taft Tax, as it is now known, was the largest tax increase in state history and Steve Stivers supported it. [Cleveland Plain Dealer. 6/27/03, Citizens for a Sound Economy, 6/27/03, National Federation of Independent Business, "State Spending in Ohio" USA Today, 2/9/04]

The tax contained 151 fee increases which disproportionately affected middle class families. [Columbus Dispatch, 6/27/03] It also raised tuition at Ohio universities over previously imposed caps. Tuition at Ohio State increase by 12.9 percent, and all other Ohio schools went up by 9.9 percent......

Aren't there enough lobbyists in Washington, DC? Do the people of Ohio's 15th congressional district really want a bank lobbyist as their member of Congress????? With the problems that banks and Wall Street are experiencing, we need someone that will protect people, not banks and corporations. We need Kilroy for Congress.

**** Ohio Republicans have a real knack in choosing candidates for the Ohio Senate and the Ohio House. The GOP looks for candidates with names similar to the names of movie stars. Here in Ohio, there are two Republican candidates running for office---- Kevin Bacon and Jimmy Stewart. Are these the best candidates that the Republicans could find? The Ohio Republicans are desperate.
