Support Issue 1



Comrades,

I am writing regarding an issue of the utmost importance. We need to unite in support of Ohio Issue 1 in the upcoming election. Don't know what Issue 1 is? You may remember my extremely successful Third Frontier initiative. With the help of my fellow travelers in the Ohio Legislature such as Michelle Schneider I was able to push $1.6 billion in new state debt for a high-tech jobs initiative.

Ohio's Issue 1 will renew my wildly successful Third Frontier initiative with $700 million in new state debt. If my time as Governor has taught you anything its that higher debt and massive government intervention in market economics is a good thing. In fact, it's vital to economic stability.

The results speak for themselves! Ohio's economy has never been better. Ohioans from Cincinnati to Cleveland and everywhere in between are inundated in new high-paying, high-tech jobs. Can't you see it? Our fine state's unemployment rate is nearly non-existent.

My high-tax allies in the newspaper editorial boards are doing their duty by endorsing this important big government initiative. They have been bolstered by loyal tax and spend Republicans from all corners of the State. I need you to do your part to support the effort. Please call all of your chronically unemployed friends, family, and neighbors and encourage them to vote YES on Issue 1. According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, the University of Cincinnati received a $36 million grant that created zero jobs thanks to the first Third Frontier effort. Perhaps with another $36 million they could create one or two additional jobs on top of the original zero. I can't think of a better way to leverage your hard-earned tax dollars. We must have this initiative. Our state's future depends on it!

Yours in taxes,

Governor Bob Taft

Bob Taft is a credit to the moderate wing of the GOP where me and my husband Joe proudly stand. I strongly support Taft's 3rd Frontier as much as I support a $200 million streetcar for Cincinnati.

Please support my re-election to the State Central Committee so I can take my moderate tax-and-spend record to the Ohio GOP.

I also support this important big spending initiative. My hubby needs it to pass so we can try to squeeze money out of it for the Cincinnati Streetcar. All loyal Republicans like me should be for big government boondoggles. It's our duty!!!

I would like to endorse this program again just like I did the first time it passed. Anytime you need an endorsement for higher taxes and more spending, come look me up!

Third Frontier? Hell, I remember the First Frontier, back when the wheel was "high-tech".

When are you guys going to endorse Michelle for State Senate? Whats the hold up? If you want to ensure that she is back in the legislature to raise our taxes, you guys need to endorse quick!

Bob Taft said...

Nick is obviously not a regular reader or he would know that we love Michelle.

Nick, we have already endorsed Michelle Schneider for State Senate. With her fantastic record of raising taxes, we have no choice but to back her 100%.
