Email from Ohio GOP Chairman Bob Bennett

Have you ever heard of Ted Strickland? Not many Ohioans have, and since he's running for governor we thought you might like to know a few things about him:

• Strickland was rated last week by a non-partisan research group as one of the most ineffective members of Congress (#402 out of 435 members), ranking lower than a non-voting delegate from American Samoa!
  
  
• He voted for the LARGEST tax increase in U.S. history, which raised taxes by $241 billion on income, gas and Social Security.
  
  
• He opposed tax cuts for 4.4 million Ohioans and thousands of Ohio's job-creating small businesses and received an "F" from the National Taxpayers Union.
  
  
• He served on the taskforce that developed HillaryCare - Hillary Clinton's failed effort to create a national socialized health care bureaucracy.
  
  
• He has never held a government administration job, balanced a budget, or even served in state or local government.

And this is the man Democrats want to be Ohio's chief executive?! Even Strickland himself admitted recently that he "never, ever felt comfortable with the thought of being governor." We're confident a lot of Ohioans will share that opinion of him.

It's time to stand up, take action, and keep Ted Strickland away from our tax dollars.
