The email reported in the news went out to Ohioans. Here's a copy:
John Kerry: Ken Blackwell Has Used his Office to Abuse our Democracy
August 29th, 2006 @ 9:07 am
As reported here earlier, John Kerry is turning up the heat on Ken Blackwell with allegations of election improprieties by the Ohio Republican who oversaw the deciding vote in 2004.
In his latest fundraising effort for fellow Democrats, John Kerry sent the following email today to 100,000 Democratic donors asking them to support U.S. Rep. Ted Strickland for governor of Ohio:
Dear Friend,
Almost two years ago today, Ted Strickland and I stood together on a stage in Steubenville and I heard Ted tell the crowd about the damage the Bush presidency and the Taft governorship had done to your state — the unemployment, the jobs shipped overseas, and corruption at the top.
As I write to you today, Ted Strickland is offering Ohioans a better choice in a campaign that our entire country is watching.
The choice couldn’t be clearer.
On one side is Ted Strickland — a good man admired by Democrats and Republicans alike. On the other side is his Republican opponent, Ken Blackwell, who has used his office to abuse our democracy and threaten basic voting rights.
Support Strickland. Beat Blackwell. Donate Now.
This isn’t just rhetoric. As you know, in 2004 while serving as a co-chair of George W. Bush’s 2004 Presidential campaign in Ohio, Secretary of State Blackwell oversaw the state’s 2004 election. He used the power of his state office to try to intimidate Ohioans and suppress the Democratic vote. Is he ashamed of what he did? No — he’s emboldened by it.
