Sharen’s eight county tour ….

Steve Austria’s staff and “volunteers” showed up at the Lancaster stop on Sharen’s 8 county listening tour to disrupt the conversation.  They’re standing out on the street in front of Annies Cheesecake and Tea Room waving signs, and encouraging people to honk.  They’ve even sent a tracker - a kid with a video camera - to tape Sharen.  Well, really to try to intimidate her.  

Steve, you should really know better.  Sharen’s not going to be intimidated by cheap tricks any more than the voters of the 7th district are going to be tricked by your 10 years of filling a chair in Columbus.  You’re part of the problem, and your time is up.

Sharen’s very excited to have been added the Democratic National Campaign Committee’s ‘Red to Blue’ program.  

According to the DCCC:

The Red to Blue program highlights top Democratic campaigns across the country, and offers them financial, communications, and strategic support. The program introduces Democratic supporters to new, competitive candidates in order to help expand the fundraising base for their campaigns.

Red to Blue was a proven success in the 2006 cycle. In 2006, the Red to Blue program raised nearly $22.6 million for 56 campaigns averaging $404,000 per campaign. Red to Blue was also responsible for solidifying the structure of dozens of campaigns and making a real difference for Democrats across America.

Here’s video of another beautiful weekend on the campaign trail in the 7th District.   Blogger Joe Ritchey, of Pickerington accompanied Sharen on parts of her travels this weekend.  You can read about his experiences on his blog, Fundamental Truths.
