Ohio's Eight Years of Economic Pain

Republicans have controlled the White House for the past eight years. And during that time, reckless Republican policies have undermined Ohio’s economy and put its workforce and their families in great danger. How bad have these policies been for Ohio? Watch this new TV ad.

This is the ad that wins the Election in Ohio.

This week, the ODP made a decision to put the ad on hold, diverting money instead to its large scale Get Out The Vote efforts. Realizing the importance of talking to voters one-on-one, we made a decision to reach people at their front doors instead of keeping the ad on the air.

There is a lot at stake in this election. While the GOP continues to wage a smear campaign against Senator Obama, the Ohio Democratic Party has not forgotten what really matters to the people of Ohio—our jobs, our families, and our values. While we can deliver that message at the door, television is another important way to reach voters.

That’s why we are asking for your help today to get this ad back on Ohio’s airwaves. It is important that Ohioans see this ad – and you can make that happen.

Help us get this ad back on the air by donating $250, $100, $75 or $50 today! Donate online at www.ohiodems.org/donate.
