We Have a District (Maybe Not)
Dear Friends,
When we last talked, we had a district. Today, an effort is being made to take it away.
In the past week a mind-boggling number of re-mapping efforts by Democrats in the Ohio General Assembly have been made to try to reshape our district in such a way as to dilute the strength of my core constituency in Cleveland, Cuyahoga County. Yes, the Republicans drew a Democratic district, using most of my present district and creating a seat which is based in the Cleveland area. This map gave the advantage to my constituents in the greater Cleveland area. I have said so. Some statehouse Democrats want to repeal this map. I don't. We will find out today who will prevail.
In the meantime, if I am to remain in Congress to continue to stand up for jobs for all, health care for all, education for all, retirement security for all, a cleaner, greener environment and peace -- I will need your help, your contributions, your organizing skills.

As you know I have taken a fiercely independent path in Congress, challenging my own party and my own president whenever they lost their way through support of bailouts and wars. Twice I pursued the Democratic nomination for president to attempt to redefine what a Democrat should stand for and to offer a new direction with jobs for all, prosperity for all, and peace. The Democratic Party bosses in Washington D.C. have lost their way. But I've never gotten lost in the mix of money and political madness. I've always been the same person from the west side of Cleveland who went to Congress to take a stand on behalf of working men and women and their families.
Later this afternoon there may be a new congressional map, and with it a new direction. With your immediate contribution -- and continual support -- I will continue to be of service.
