Taking it to the Streets
by Rick on 12.30.2009
I'm Jennifer Brunner's husband, a native of Columbiana County, Ohio, an attorney in Columbus, and a huge fan of classic rock-and-roll. In the late 1970s, the rock band, The Doobie Brothers, had a popular song called "Takin' it to the Streets." While many have appreciated the great sound and driving beat of the song, the message of the song is about fighting for social and economic justice.
That's what Jennifer's campaign for the Senate is all about, and thousands of Ohioans agree with this fight. Over the past few weeks, volunteers in our campaign's "Brunner Brigade" have been hitting the streets all over Ohio. Thanks to contributions of $10, $25, $50, $100, and more from everyday Ohioans like you, more than 100 canvassers have been sponsored in 18 counties from Lorain to Washington, Lucas to Hamilton, and Trumbull to Montgomery. We're already knocking on thousands of doors and we're just getting started. We're "Takin' it to the Streets" for Jennifer's fight for Ohioans like you and me.
Jennifer has been criss-crossing the state talking to everyday Ohioans about jobs, small business, clean energy, health care, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, hearing from them their cares, their hopes, and their dreams for their families and their state. She and I care deeply about our state, and she wants to do something about it. She's already returned Ohio's election system to the voters of Ohio and her work for our state has just begun.
For the next four months, we will continue running a grassroots campaign to win this election. Our opponents are raising money from the political establishment--corporations, banks, insurance companies, Wall Street types--the ones who got us into this economic mess. The only way to beat them is to join together and work hard. In the words of the song, "I ain't blind and I don't like what I think I see." We need you to help us take this campaign to the streets. Won't you join us?
You have been receiving e-mails from Jennifer's campaign, so you know that she's never been afraid to tell us where she stands and she won't be afraid to fight for us. We know this is a tough campaign, but as I've always said, nobody is going to out-work or out-fight my Jennifer.
So, will you help us? Your contribution of $25, $50, $100, $250, or whatever you can afford will help us train and equip the canvassers we need to win this election one vote at a time. Our canvassers need clipboards, campaign literature, pens, sweatshirts, and hot coffee during the cold Ohio winter. Your contribution will help us keep taking our campaign to the streets and win this election.
Jennifer and I are very grateful for your help.
Very truly yours,
Rick
