The OH-05 Special Election Matters
Let's keep this district Republican and one less vote for Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco agenda.

I am running for Congress in Ohio's Fifth Congressional District. Our Special Election is next Tuesday, December 11 and I need your continued support to get my message out to Ohio's voters.
Make no mistake. Ohio's Fifth Congressional District is conservative. But my liberal opponent is getting some help from Nancy Pelosi and the liberal netroots helping her put false, defamatory ads up on the airwaves. And this race is extremely close.
I need to continue to get my message of getting tough on illegal immigration, supporting the sanctity of life, protecting our Second Amendment rights, and cutting taxes stays out to the voters by keeping my ads on the air in these crucial final days.
Your support is truly helping and we are all taking notice.
I want to thank the Republican netroots community for supporting my candidacy, especially those at Slatecard, Redstate, and Blogs for Victory.
If you have a minute, please consider supporting my candidacy with a financial donation today. Whether it's $1,000, $500, or even $50 -- it will make a difference and help me get my conservative message out.
Also, if you are in Ohio, or would like to come here to help, please email us and let us know.
With your help, we'll keep this district Republican and one less vote for Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco agenda.
Thank you,
Bob Latta

I don't know Bob...if Ohio's Fifth Congressional District is conservative...why do we keep getting pseudo-conservatives like you? I mean you claim: you are tough on illegal immigration, supporting the sanctity of life, protecting our Second Amendment rights, and cutting taxes...please tell me how you have attempted to tackle these problems in the past? All I hear from you are platitudes. You think that joining in with the herd in Columbus by voting on a select issue here and there gives you the right to claim that you are a conservative? We need more than a "yes" man in DC. We need someone with conservative principles, i.e., a person who is philosophically committed to conservatism...not just giving us lip service.
I don't understand what all this fuss about San Francisco is about. Nancy Pelosi may be a liberal and she may represent San Francisco, but associating an entire political movement with one city is, well, disingenuous. New York liberal makes sense, or Cambridge liberal, or South Florida liberal, or wherever it is that liberals tend to live, but I really don't get the point of making everything about San Francisco. Maybe we should also talk about Mississippi conservatives? I don't think any of us would find that this makes sense at all. I'm all for insulting Democrats, but perhaps real insults might work better than associating them with an arbitrary city.
In particular, the candidate running in OH-5 does not have San Francisco values. That phrase makes no sense. If her values are like those of San Francisco, that's a pretty large fallacy from there to saying that the values are FROM San Francisco. I don't know anything about her, but I'm sure her values are from Ohio just like yours, but hers are from a different segment of the population. Remember that Dennis Kucinich is from Ohio -- your state has its crackpots.
Is that the message that you want conservatives to fund? Try again. It is Republican like you, Mr. Latta, that soured the GOP's reputation on fiscal matters that helped lead to the 2006 bloodbath. Like Rush said after the 2006 election, I'm tired of carrying water for big government Republicans like you.
