Ohio's Second District - MY district

Dr. Victoria Wulsin is challenging Jean Schmidt for this seat once again. Wulsin narrowly lost last cycle, and the addition of an independent challenger won't help her, but hopefully she'll pull it out this year. Here's ad from 2006:

While the numbers in the ad have since changed (casualties in Iraq, national debt number, etc.) the results of Ms. Schmidt's tenure in Congress have not: she is an unmitigated disaster. Here she is, earning her "Mean Jean" credentials during her very first speech on the House floor:

What an embarrassment. She was subsequently voted one of the Top 10 Conservative Idiots in 2006. No surprise there.
Here's a more recent Wulsin ad:

PEPFAR

What the heck is PEPFAR? It's the Current Occupant's (President's - if I must for an acronym's sake) Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief which

channels United States' development assistance to support life-saving treatment, prevention and care for people suffering from HIV/AIDS around the world. PEPFAR was announced by President Bush in 2003 as a five-year, $15 billion initiative. Currently, a bipartisan bill to increase AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria funding to $50 billion over the next five years is working its way through Congress.

Trouble is, the bill is being held up by Republicans. Surprise, surprise!

Take action here to help re-authorize the bill before it's too late.
