Laura Bush heads to Kentucky, Ohio
First lady Laura Bush will be in the tri-state area tomorrow for a slew of campaign fundraisers.She'll start the day in Lexington, Ky., for a 10:30 a.m. breakfast fundraiser at a private home for Rep. Geoff Davis, a Republican from Hebron who faces former Democratic Rep. Ken Lucas.
Mrs. Bush will then head north to Kettering, a suburb of Dayton, for a 1:10 p.m. fundraiser lunch at the NCR Country Club for Sen. Mike DeWine, a Cedarville Republican. DeWine faces a difficult re-election campaign this year against Democratic Rep. Sherrod Brown of northern Ohio.
After a quick lunch, Mrs. Bush will visit the Wright-Dunbar Village in Dayton at 1:55 p.m. with DeWine and Rep. Mike Turner, a Republican from Centerville who might be running against Democrat Stephanie Studebaker.
Notice which lawmaker is missing from the action?
Rep. Steve Chabot had planned to hold a campaign fundraising lunch at Cincinnati's Union Terminal with the first lady two weeks ago on Friday, Aug. 4, but he had to postpone it at the last minute due to a funeral being held at the same time for a soldier killed in Iraq. No word yet on when that fundraiser has been rescheduled for. Chabot faces Democrat John Cranley.

Post a Comment*So, the wRong wing witch can make it to every fund raiser in the tri-state but couldn't make it to the soldiers funeral on the west side when it was planned for her to be in the area anyway ??
PATHETIC !!
HAD ENOUGH, VOTE DEMOCRATIC 2006 !!
With Chabot's own polls showing him in a double-digit deficit to John Cranley, it is no surprise that even Laura Bush is ashamed to be seen with him.
Laura Bush has too much class to be in the same building as Steve Chabot. Ever.
Perhaps this is Chabot's way of distancing himself from the Bush Administration at a time when nationwide polls show Bush's popularity falling.

Taking the first district away from Steve Chabot and back to the people of Cincinnati
Westwood needs to wake up and smell the coffee. Republicans like Chabot don’t give a crap about them and never will. The rich will always have their abortions, and gay rights, like civil rights, will eventually come to pass. Deal with it. Start voting for your economic security and our national security. Our military can’t protect us from terrorists if our soldiers are spilling blood for oil companies.
1. Chabot is a native of Westwood. Or at least the Westside.
2. He's not rich.
Is Mrs. Bush going to make a quick stop at the Schmidt headquarters and take a ride in Mean Jean’s new SUV?
Chabot supports the rich. Take a look at his voting record. He gives away billions of dollars in tax cuts to oil companies and the wealthiest one-percent. How does this help our city and our country?
Trickle-down economics was invented by a group of think-tank Republicans in the 1970s. Every respected economist on the planet says it's a sham. Look at the record deficits under Reagan and the current Bush.
Chabot doesn't care about anybody except his campaign contributors.
He needs to go.
Is her:
Husband an Idiot ??
This just in on the wRong wingnut whackos:
I want you to be the first to hear the best news for civil liberties that we’ve had in a long time. A federal court in Michigan has ruled that the Bush administration’s NSA program to monitor the phone calls and e-mails of millions of Americans without warrants is unconstitutional and must be stopped. It’s news of a stunning courtroom victory that your continuing support made possible.
I couldn’t be more proud of lead counsel Ann Beeson and the rest of our legal team, including attorneys Jameel Jaffer and Melissa Goodman. As you know, the day that we learned about this massive and systematic spying, ACLU lawyers started working on this lawsuit. The hours and the blood, sweat and tears they have put into it have now paid off. Just as your support of this important work is paying off.
This ruling, in the first federal challenge ever argued against the president’s program, is a landmark victory against the massive abuses of power that have become the hallmark of the Bush administration, and is a victory for all freedom-loving people in our country.
U.S. District Court Judge Anna Diggs Taylor declared that the NSA program violates Americans’ rights to free speech and privacy under the First and Fourth Amendments of the Constitution, but also the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) passed by Congress.
Judge Taylor summed it up perfectly when she wrote in her decision:
We must first note that the Office of the Chief Executive has itself been created, with its powers, by the Constitution. There are no hereditary Kings in America and no power not created by the Constitution.
You and the ACLU have been working so hard on this because you understand that this case is about more than putting an immediate end to the Bush administration's warrantless spying program; it is an important step in the battle to curb the government's abuses of power. Believe me, we could not have come this far without the effort and passion of all the ACLU members and activists. Your support on these issues has been invaluable. You are making a difference.
Now we need you to stand with us in our crucial efforts to hold the president accountable in the weeks and months to come as we gear up for the next battle to protect our rights, with two congressional committees poised for September votes to try to legalize this spying under Vice President Dick Cheney’s supervision.
Instead of demanding that the President answer for breaking the law, Cheney and his allies want Congress to rewrite our laws to condone his behavior and give him and all future presidents a blank check to conduct domestic spying programs without individual warrants. Your efforts today are crucial to ensure that Congress doesn't undo this historic victory.
Today, we are celebrating and analyzing this decision. Tomorrow there will be much work to do. Your involvement, belief in and support of our work have never been more important than right now.
From all of us at the ACLU, thank you for your partnership in all of our efforts.
Sincerely,
Anthony D. Romero
Executive Director
ACLU
