Never on a (Super) Sunday

If you are a voter in Ohio's 2nd Congressional District, Jim Parker will talk to you any time, day or night.

Just don't call him when the Super Bowl is on.

Parker, a health care administrator from Waverly, Ohio, wants to be the Democratic candidate against Rep. Jean Schmidt, and has been firing off position papers on everything from the economy to Medicare/Medicaid to middle class tax cuts.

But in his latest missive to media and supporters in the 2nd District, Parked added a proviso to his pledge to meet with reporters or prospective constituents anytime, anywhere.

"With the exception of Easter Sunday, the Super Bowl and a few football games, I am going to work like there is no tomorrow in order to try to be your next congressman,'' Parker wrote.

No word, though, on how he will handle the MLB playoffs and World Series next October if he wins the Democratic primary.

I sure hope the Cincinnati Enquirer takes a better picture next time. I guess I'll never look my best after driving hundreds of miles and talking with hundreds of people (after working all day)...

If I get to work with the US Congress to save Medicare, save American lives and build the Southern Ohio economy... then who cares if I have a bad photo day. It will all be worth the incredible effort that I have been giving. There are so many people in Southern Ohio who are worth what I am trying to accomplish.
