He should be humbled by those contributions from the coal industry and corporations across the state of Ohio. He and Blackwell will serve their corporate paymasters, not the people of Ohio.

If we lived in a democracy we'd have a choice between ALL the candidates on the ballot. The media would give FAIR and BALANCED coverage. They would be clean elections instead of just auctions where the corporate candidates sell us out to the highest bidder.

Bill Peirce and Bob Fitrakis have been chosen by the PEOPLE of OHIO to represent the silenced majority.

This is a plutocracy!

Bill Peirce and Bob Fitrakis won't even get a combined 10% of the vote. So much for the "silenced majority". we call them fringe candidates for a reason.
