5. Here is a sign for em
Make a large sign which says something like "Hey Bush, where is Melvin Saddler and why did you call him?" - no idea who the person is, but I am sure rove and crew will spends hours trying to figure it out - best to keep them busy on nothing rather than something!

Might even be fun to make up a story on the net to go with it and track who reads it :)

6. You can bet there's a $2,000 a plate fundraiser
at the end of his trip though. God I wish he'd stay out of this beatiful state. It smells for a week every time he comes here.

7. Yeah, I read today where Chimp will stop
in Findlay and Toledo after Lima. Findlay might as well host a Repug convention and Toledo has slid somewhat from being a formidable Democratic bastion.

18. Yes.
Findlay is, sadly, a republican backwater. I'd be very surprised if the last Democratic presidential candidate to take this distrct wasn't FDR.

Still, there's a few of us here and I've seen a couple of Kerry/Edwards stickers... in Findlay, that's like a massive groundswell of support for a Democrat. ;)

Sadly, this district will probably go for Bush, even though we've lost quite a lot of jobs here, especially white collar jobs, and Marathon is getting ready to offshore even more of their IT folks. :(

As for me, I've about had it with Findlay and hope to move in the next year or two.

9. He's there THIS Saturday? Listen up, Ohio DUers!!!
Time for a road-trip to Lima. It's not far from Dayton, and therefore not far from Cincinnati. Let's caravan up to Lima, and protest Bush's visit to our state!!!

Let's give WLKjr a hand... seriously.

I'll organize,
Jennifer

10. I sure hope they give the location soon
I have a question I would like to ask the asshole.

"Mr. President, I will be graduating next June from college and have a Associate Degree of Applied Science in Computer Network Systems. If I wanted to find a job now in the IT field, I would have an extremely hard time doing so becuase quite a few of the IT jobs have been shipped overseas with all the outsourcing that has happening in the past few years. Just how will you stop outsourcing so I don't have to move to another country to find good job in the IT field?"

14. Sadly...
I work in IT here in Findlay and I am not too optimistic for the long term. My company is hiring a little at the moment, but Marathon has laid off 200 people and from what I've heard they're getting ready to offshore their IT department, too.

Short term I should probably be OK, long term I am thinking of going back to school, maybe at OSU-ATI, and get into something that can't easily be offshored, like landscaping.

At any rate, Bush was here in Findlay today, creating a real mess in traffic... I think he was still here when I got back this afternoon, since there were helicopters circling around.

Wish he'd quit coming around and defiling the area, though. :(
