Laura Bush headed to Ohio after all

No, the Rep. Steve Chabot campaign didn't reschedule her that quickly. Chabot had planned to host Laura Bush at a campaign fundraiser in Cincinnati tomorrow. Due to a funeral for a local soldier killed in Iraq happening at the same time, he has postponed the event.

Meanwhile, Sen. Mike DeWine is preparing to welcome the first lady to his campaign fundraiser later this month. DeWine's campaign told us Laura Bush would be hosting a luncheon for the senator on Wed., Aug. 16, at the NCR Country Club in Kettering, a suburb of Dayton.

Cost to attend is the same as it was to be for Chabot's event: $1,000 a plate; $2,100 for a private reception where you get to take a photo with the first lady.

Chabot faces Democrat John Cranley; DeWine faces Democratic Rep. Sherrod Brown.

Hey Laura - Here's the question that the wRong-wing extremists who control the Republican Congress will put before the Senate:

"Over seven million Americans can have a raise of $2.15 an hour by raising the minimum wage, but only if we give a tax cut to 7,500 ultra-rich people at a cost of $753 billion dollars."

It's despicable, it's wrong, and we need to stop it.

Senate Republican Leader Bill Frist has said that this will be the only vote he will allow on a minimum wage increase this year.

Enough is enough. Contact your Senators and tell them to reject this shameful bill by signing this petition:

Sign the Petition !!

Hey Laura, please stop calling my house. I realize that you love me, but 6 times in one day is too much.

I am of course referring to these godaweful automated phone messages that have been ringing off the hook today (as well as an annoyance the last couple months). Kindly stop, as it is doing your party no favors. I pick on you mostly because it is your voice that precedes at least the 2 most recent calls, which came 30 minutes apart.
