Get the picture?

Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy (OH-15-D) is in a tight race with Republican Steve Stivers, a former bank lobbyist and current darling of the Tea Party.  Kilroy has been attacked by all of the Stivers big money supporters including the Chamber of Commerce.

Kilroy for Congress on YouTube:



As I've said before-
Kilroy has fought persistently for the everyday, regular, hard working people, families, and students in Ohio's 15th congressional district.  Stivers, on the other hand, has sold his soul to bank PACs/executives, lobbyists, utility polluters, insurance company PACs/executives, mining PACs/executives, and others trying to protect their obscene profits at the expense of consumers.  Are you willing to support the rollback of these rights and laws that Stivers and his far right supporters want? Do you want someone like Stivers who has opposed consumer protection, opposed scholarships for the disabled, and supported pay day lenders?????

Steve Stivers provided his responses to a questionnaire provided by a 912 Glenn Beck group.  Here is what Steve Stivers is proposing if he is elected:

1. Repeal the health care reform bill
2. Repeal the 16th Amendment to the Constitution (see U.S. archives link)
3. Repeal the 17th Amendment to the Constitution
4. Eliminate the Department of Agriculture
5. Eliminate the Department of Education
6. Eliminate the Department of the Interior
7. Eliminate the Department of Housing and Urban Development
8. Eliminate the Department of Transportation
9. Eliminate the Department of Energy
10. Eliminate the Department of Veterans Affairs
11. Sell off the national parks


Which of these Amendments to the Constitution do you want to see repealed?  Are you willing to give up some of your rights to satisfy Stivers, the Tea Party, and the Republicans? 

Stivers has the support of big oil producers, mining companies, and utility corporations. His goal to sell off the national parks must be whetting the appetites of these major polluters.   Open Secrets has all the details about where Stivers is getting his money.

John Kasich and the Wall Street bankers sold schemes to investors and pension funds.  In the end, they lost money, but Kasich still got his bonus.  Is John Kasich still selling schemes to Ohio voters? 

John Kasich brought some of his old, white, conservative buddies to Ohio to campaign with him.  Kasich even campaigned with Newt Gingrich, who has an approval rating in the low single digits.
