Clark fundraising for OH-05 Special Election: Robin Weirauch

[Adelante]

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!

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.

3. It's $11,623 now!

This is Paul Gilmour's old seat -- the guy they found dead. It's a heavily Repubican district, but it can be won by a Dem. Robin Weirauch made a significant gain, percentage-wise, on him last time and she's got the name recognition over the Repub nominee now. It'd be a good omen for 2008 if we could take this one.

4. $11,623

That's great. Somebody in the Ohio forum says she's getting good labor support, too.

I was thinking about you today, so you know :hi:

6. I was wrong about the name recognition tho

The Repub nominee is the son of the guy who held the office before Gilmour. :(
