Pouring rain. 10-hour long lines. A final margin of just 2%. This was Ohio in 2004.
But one year before any votes are cast in the general election, we have a chance to send a message to voters in Ohio and across the country: 2008 will not be 2004.
Robin Weirauch is running for the open seat in Ohio's 5th congressional district. Voters will be hitting the ballot box in less than two weeks on December 11.
A victory in OH-5 will send a message across Ohio and America that voters are ready to turn the page on George W. Bush and the Republicans. Contribute to Robin's campaign today!

As the daughter of a retired Master Sergeant in the United States Air Force, Robin will do more than simply repeat slogans like "Support the Troops." She will fight to bring a responsible end to the war in Iraq and make sure our veterans receive the health care they deserve.
A former Emergency Medical Technician and the wife of a retired police officer, Robin has honest middle class values. She understands the critical issues for working-class people such as education, fair trade policies, and bringing good jobs back to Northwest Ohio. She will ensure that all Americans have access to the opportunities that will help them and their children succeed in the 21st Century.
Northwest Ohio and Congress need Robin's strong, honest, independent voice.
Give Robin the final push she needs to win this seat for Democrats and give us the momentum we need heading into the 2008 elections!

Like many of the races I've asked you to help with in the past, this is a tough district. It's a Republican district, but as I've said before, we've got to compete everywhere. Republican districts can become Democratic districts. Republican states can become Democratic states. But only if we contest the seats.
I remember campaigning last year in Montana with Jon Tester, standing with Jim Webb in Virginia, and barnstorming some of the reddest Congressional districts in the final days of the 2006 elections. With you by my side, we changed the map.
We have the chance to do it again. Bush won this district by 20 points in 2004, but in 2006, Governor Ted Strickland and Senator Sherrod Brown carried it for Democrats. Now in this special election, just 13 days away, Robin Weirauch can win Ohio's 5th district...with your help.
Please rush a contribution to Robin in these final days before the special election on December 11.

That last graphic looks like the inside of my brain... I've been very busy .. and yet I'm always thinking about the state of our Union, and I'm fit to be tied!
I lurk often, and appreciate all of your posts! :)
Take care!

Been hoping your overbooked schedule would allow time to start working on Congressional races!

Accordning to this blog the DCCC isn't funding this race because she is anti-NAFTA. They mention Wes' letter to this group.
Do the links in the above article lead to a Clark specific contribution page?
There was a diary on Kos stating that Wes raised over $10,000 in one day for Weirauch - see kaflinn's blog in the recommended list here on CCN.

It worked! I guess I'm not the only one to come to this late as the total is now over $13500. I hope the information that I posted about the Democratic party not helping is somehow in error. The results of these special elections always get honorable mention on the news.



Best of luck to Ms. Weirauch!
