Take the Schmidt Challenge

Loyal readers, we are calling on you once again to give assistance to one of our tax-hiking compatriots. As we wrote yesterday, our great Congresswoman Jean Schmidt is being attacked for her courageous decision to join Governor Bob Taft in raising Ohio's Gas Tax by 27%. We all know this was the right vote. Gas prices were too low and something had to be done about it.

Now it is time to unite behind Jean. We want you to take The Schmidt Challenge. This is how the challenge works: between now and October 31st, everytime you fill your tank send $0.10/gallon to the Schmidt campaign. If you add 10 gallons, send $1.00 to Schmidt. Individually it won't cost us a whole lot. But if all Republicans who love higher taxes join in, we will raise much money for Jean and ensure her re-election to Congress.

So who's in? Can we count on you to take The Schmidt Challenge?

This a great idea. We need to put our money where our mouths are and support high tax Republicans like my dear old pal Jean Schmidt. Every time I fuel up the family truckster I'll be sending a check to Jean!

I'm in too. I will defend Jean Schmidt's agenda of higher taxes wherever and whenever I can.
