Southern Ohio

Obama should visit southern Ohio, particularly areas such as Chillicothe. Visiting with Gov. Strickland, who is very popular in southern Ohio, could help shore up some of his weaknesses in that important part of the state. President Clinton visited the area multiple times, and President Bush visited in the 2004 campaign.

Capitalize on the Economy with Bill Clinton

With the economy in distress and momentum moving towards Obama, why not run away with the race right now, and bring Bill Clinton along. Everyone remembers how great the economy was in the 90's. The economy is the strongest issue for Obama in this election, so why not bring President Clinton out and pound McCain on the economy.

Obama needs to publicly address the Voter Disenfranchisement

We are hearing of more and more examples of GOP dirty tricks to disenfranchise voters. In Virginia students are being scrubbed from the voter rolls, in Florida it's blacks, in Michigan the GOP is scrubbing voters who are in foreclosure, and the latest crime is in Ohio where millions of fake absentee ballots have been sent to likely Obama voters with the wrong address for the Voter Registrar.

Free ID for anyone who registers to vote

I believe the entire voting system is just ridiculous. How many election fraud attempts have succeeded and/or been suggested in the past decade. First of all, change the system to required paper trail AND require voters to show a valid (state or national) ID which they can get FOR FREE (one time offer) when they register to vote.

Focus on Ohio and Michigan

These two states have been hit hardest by the failed policies of the Bush Administration. I live in Ohio and am sick of seeing McCain ads almost exclusively. We need to see ads that attack McCain's new views, and talk about Sarah Palin's involvement in the bridge to nowhere. We need to see ads of real Ohio and Michigan families talking about the situation that we are in, and why we NEED change.

Ensure citizens aren't prevented from voting

To prevent those from poorer constituencies being prevented from casting their ballot on election day, Democrats have to seriously address the voting "mishaps" of 2000 in Florida and 2004 in Ohio now, before the election is stolen from us once again by people not being allowed to vote or by having the decision being made by the Supreme Court. Therefore, we have to do three things:

Obama Needs to Address the Massive Voter Purges by Republicans

While the media focuses on the antics of McCain's chosen VP battleground states are purging their voter rolls. In Colorado, one fifth of all voter registrations were dropped. Florida is refusing to accept 85,000 new registrants -- overwhelmingly blacks. Ohio & Nevada are scrubbing tens of 1000s of voters who lost their homes.

Show Americans Working in Plants Making Wind Turbines in Ohio

Ads that show regular Americans in the following situation:

People working on a foundry line making the parts for wind turbines at the Swiger Coil Systems Plant in Cleveland, Ohio or Green Energy Tech in Akron, Ohio. These are companies who are creating jobs within the alternative power industry.
