If you are a woman in Ohio, it is time to stand up to the Republicans and their attacks on the rights of women. Why do Republicans think that they have the right to make medical decisions for each woman in Ohio? Ohio Republicans must think Ohio women are stupid, uneducated, and not capable to make their own decisions.
OhioDemocrats have a petition online which will be sent to Gov. Kasich. To add your name to the petition, visit Ohio Dems Action page here.

Pennsylvanians are very serious about their cookies. If you attend any event in Pennsylvania, particularly Western Pennsylvania, you will see tables filled with cookies. Weddings, baptisms, showers, and holiday dinners always have cookies that have been made with loving care. Cookie bakers are very proud of their home baked cookies, their recipes, and their family history associated with the recipes.
It comes as no surprise that the awkward, arrogant, snobby Republican , AKA Mitt Romney, made an inappropriate remark that disrespected a cookie, the bakers, and generations of families.
Think Progress:
At a campaign stop in Pennsylvania Tuesday, Mitt Romney sat down with some regular Americans to discuss the economy and, apparently, his distaste for the cookies provided by a beloved local bakery. “I’m not sure about these cookies,” Romney said. “Did you make those cookies?” Romney said to one of the women. “You didn’t, did you? No. No. They came from the local 7-Eleven bakery or wherever.”
Unfortunately, for Romney, they came from Bethel Bakery — “a longtime South Hills staple,” according to a local ABC affiliate. Some loyal patrons were outraged by Romney’s put down of their local baked goods. “Maybe he’s just used to eating cookies with diamonds in them,” one customer said on Facebook, according to bakery owner John Walsh.....
Yes, ..."....wherever....." Once again, we see an aloof, snob, dismissing the hardworking men and women of our country. I guess Romney is accustomed to his cookies and pastries arriving on imported china, placed on silver trays.
(A NY Times article published in 2009, detailed the cookie cult in Pennsylvania. Since Romney stepped in it with his disrespectful comments about the origin of the cookies, I suggest that President Obama read the article before he does his campaigning in Pennsylvania.)
*** What was up with that campaign ad for Josh Mandel? Mandel can put on boots and touts his time in the Marines, but his right wing, anti-worker, anti-health care, anti-woman agenda is not discussed in it. Why didn't he talk about how he never goes to work and went to the Bahamas to get campaign money? Huh?????
