[Corey_Baker08]

I'm Workin My Ass Off Where I Live In My Ohio 8th District To Ensure Boehner Will Not Be Re-Elected!
We have the ability in Ohio to defeat Boehner. For the first time in a long time he had primary opponents. Its not going to be a good year for Incumbents and I truly believe that with a little DU support to our Democratic candidate West Point Army Graduate Justin Coussoule. Justin brings a wealth of experience and a passion for public service to his fight to take Ohio’s 8th Congressional District back from the grip of Washington’s ultimate insider and champion of corporate special interests, John Boehner, and return forward progress to the district and in the state and we will NEVER HAVE TO SEE BONER AS THE LEADER OF THE HOUSE!!!

I could not imagine seeing him standing behind President Obama and beside Vice President Biden During the State of the Union Address!!!

Heres a little from his website about him and where he stands...I URGE YOU TO VISIT WWW.COUSSOULE.COM AND DONATE RIGHT NOW!!!

Justin brings a wealth of experience and a passion for public service to his
fight to take Ohio’s 8th Congressional District back from the grip of
Washington’s ultimate insider and champion of corporate special interests,
John Boehner, and return forward progress to the district.

Working-Class Roots
Justin was born and raised in Adams, a small town of fewer than 9,000, named
for patriot Samuel Adams and the birthplace of suffragette Susan B. Anthony.
An all-American community ringed by pastoral dairy farms and the picturesque
wooded hills of the Berkshires, Adams is home to working-class families that
have experienced the decline of a once thriving manufacturing base and know
well the struggle to create new economic opportunities. From a family whose
heritage is Greek, Irish, Italian and French, Justin's roots represent the promise
of American opportunity.


Justin's Issues

I'm running for Congress this year to stand up for the voters of the district who are suffering job loss, decreasing wages, and insecurity about their children's future. I want to fight for you - to ensure progress, not partisanship, in Washington, and to work constructively toward solutions that benefit the people of our district. Please check out some of my thoughts and ideas on the issues that matter to the people of the district.

Growing Our Economy and Creating Jobs
Rebuilding the middle class by growing our economy and creating jobs must be our number one priority.

Returning Responsible Oversight to Wall Street
Even a revitalized Main Street will remain forever vulnerable to the recklessness of Wall Street, unless we bring oversight and accountability to the financial sector.

Strengthening the Middle Class

As the son of a carpenter and a commercial food service worker, I believe firmly that America's economic security is tied directly to the strength of our middle class. We must collectively reinvest in ideas, values and programs that will create jobs while strengthening and expanding the middle class.

Ending the Foreclosure Crisis
The current foreclosure crisis, decades in the making, was caused by the actions and inaction of both the government and the mortgage industry. Ending the foreclosure crisis will likewise take the long-term, active involvement of both the public and private sectors.

Reducing Our Debt and Controlling Spending
Our long-term prosperity, continued economic growth and national security depend on dramatically reducing our national debt in the very near-term. Shamefully, many of our elected officials have carelessly approved spending beyond our country’s means for years, acting with knowing disregard for responsible and sustainable fiscal practices, and choosing instead to put our children’s futures at risk by embracing uncontrolled deficit spending.

Preserving Our Freedom and Security

The two greatest threats to our national freedom and security today are terrorism and the proliferation of nuclear weapons. Defending America from these threats while supporting our brave men and women in uniform is a fundamental responsibility of our government.

Investing in Our Children and Our Future
Public education offers an equal opportunity to all citizens when we provide the environment necessary for students to thrive. And making a high-quality public education available to all our children is the foundation for America’s future.

Pursuing Sustainable Energy Solutions

The events of the past three decades have dramatically demonstrated the direct link between energy policy, our economy and our national security.

Supporting and Honoring Our Veterans

As a graduate of West Point and former Army officer, I believe that supporting our men and women of our Armed Forces is a duty and responsibility of the highest order. Not only am I a veteran, I am also the husband, son, brother-in-law, and son-in-law of veterans. I will always fight for veterans’ rights and interests. As a nation, we owe no higher obligation than to those who serve and have served.

Protecting the Environment and Growing Our Economy
I will fight to ensure environmental standards are upheld both here and with our trading partners abroad to protect the health of Americans, protect and preserve the environment and defend American workers from unfair competition.

Supporting Our Farmers

We must pursue forward-thinking agricultural policy initiatives that support our farmers as they work everyday to feed America. Our national farm policy should promote renewable energy, agricultural conservation and development of our rural economies. When we position our farmers to thrive in a rapidly changing global economy, then we all succeed.


Returning Public Service to the 8th Congressional District
For too long, the people of the 8th District have been ignored and taken for granted by our Representative in Congress. In fact, to often our Representative is not even in his district. ‘We the people’ should not have to shout over the iron fences of gated golf course communities, or all the way to the mahogany-paneled walls of private Washington D.C. clubs brimming with well-heeled lobbyists, just to try to be heard by our Congressman.

EVEN IF YOU CAN ONLY GIVE A DOLLAR DO IT. I HAVE AND WILL CONTINUE TO BUST MY ASS KNOCKING ON DOORS, DOING PHONE BANKS, SPREADING THE WORD ABOUT THIS UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO DEFEAT A CAREER POLITICIAN TO FRIEND AND FOE ALIKE!

YES WE CAN IN OHIO 8TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT WITH DU SUPPORT!!!

1. Where is the 8th based? n/t

[NYC_SKP]

3. Cincinnati and Dayton:

From wikipedia:

He serves as a U.S. Representative from Ohio's 8th congressional district, which includes several rural and suburban areas near Cincinnati and Dayton and a small portion of Dayton itself.

From dickipedia:

Political positions

While Boehner has recently become known for insulting reporters haircuts and skipping out on the supposed Republican "revolt" to play golf, Boehner does have several notable policy positions.

* In 2007, Boehner argued that benchmarks for the Iraq war would ensure failure, a measure supported by the Democrats. In weeks prior, he agreed with President Bush that benchmarks for the Iraq war were "good" and "very important." Many political scientists argue that it's probably not a great sign if one of the leaders of your party can't make up his mind about a central issue of an entire campaign cycle.

* Boehner does not believe in human contribution to global warming and once remarked: "The idea that carbon dioxide is a carcinogen that is harmful to our environment is almost comical. Every time we exhale, we exhale carbon dioxide. Every cow in the world, you know when they do what they do you've got more carbon dioxide." While many scientists have taken exception to the 15 things that are factually incorrect about that statement, researchers are most surprised at Boehner's inability to just say the word "defecate."

* Boehner receives campaign donations from what is essentially the set-up to a joke about republican stereotypes: pharmaceutical and cigarette manufacturers, health insurance companies, oil companies, military contractors, and Native Americans. One wonders how that Crying Indian would feel about donating his casino profits to a guy who has defended his environmental position by citing cow shit.
o That's not to be confused with "chicken shit," a designation, Boehner used in regards to President Barack Obama.

With no immediate solution to the current recession, it remains to be seen if Boehner will remain firm, rigid, and inflexible in his positions or whether the potential success of the Democratic majority will cause him to shrink away limp, deflated, and flaccid.

Parts of this district (Miami County, where I live) voted for Dole by 98%.

[EFerrari]

10. What are you all voting on nowadays, rucky?

[rucky]

14. Haha. Not absentee, that's for sure.

It's the Diebold, I'm afraid - with the printout you can see through the window. The "paper trail" doesn't really make me feel better about it, but, absentee ballots and provisionals don't either.

It's a good way to keep up, if you're not in our district (or even if you are, seeing that some of the small town papers won't cover him).

15. Question: Why does he live there? Grew up in Mass.

[JDPriestly]

19. He worked for Procter & Gamble which is in the Cincinnati area.

His videos are great.

[elleng]

23. Videos are good.

Why'd he leave Mass. to P&G? Wife/family in OH maybe?

[JDPriestly]

26. According to his website, he worked for P&G. I don't know about his wife and family.

I have family in the area who are supporting him, so I am pretty sure that he worked (might still be associated) for Procter & Gamble.
