occasional musings from the heartland, removed from distractions like mountains, seacoasts, and any elevation of the land -- flat other than the several glacial ravines that run through the area.

Campaigning


Back at Deborah Pryce's office at the end of August--focussing on the costs to local taxpayers of the Iraq war Pryce has supported. Over $660 milllion to date.

We've also spent time doing volunteer work for Mary Jo Kilroy (www.kilroyforcongress.com) in Ohio's 15th District. All indications are positive--and from the sudden influx of expensive 4-color brochures from Pryce (all franked, of course, so we're paying for the mailings, if not the printing--which, come to think of it, we probably are, since although they're clearly campaign material, they're billed as newsletters or surveys) that have arrived in the last couple of weeks, she's running scared. Polls seem to show a dead heat at this point, which is a bit astounding. So there's hope for some progressive representation at last!
