Many of you reading this may not even know who Josh Mandel is… but if you don’t, then man do I have a story to tell you.
Josh Mandel is Ohio’s ethically-challenged State Treasurer, who was sworn into office just a few months ago after promising Ohio voters that he would “definitely serve” a four-year term and be a “darn-good Treasurer.” But days after taking office, Mandel broke his promise to Ohio and began campaigning for U.S. Senate.
Rather than being a “darn-good Treasurer” as he promised, Josh has travelled from coast to coast raising money for his next campaign. And not only does Josh Mandel break his promises; he also believes that the rules don’t apply to him.
In the few months he has been in office Josh has spent tens of thousands of dollars turning the State Treasurer’s website into a campaign-style site that allows Ohioans to search for the salaries of public employees. This expensive taxpayer-funded upgrade comes despite the fact that Josh Mandel is still hiding his personal finances from Ohio voters by breaking the law and refusing to file his Personal Financial Disclosure. And while Josh was eager to disclose the salaries of teachers and state workers, he hid information about his and others’ high-level political appointees.
Is there a more perfect example of Josh Mandel believing the rules don’t apply to him than this?
After breaking the rules and breaking his promises, Josh now wants to be Ohio’s United States Senator. But we can’t let this happen.
The Ohio Democratic Party is fighting back and holding Josh accountable every day. We have been busy working to expose Josh Mandel’s ethical lapses and broken promises so Ohio voters know exactly who he is. But we can’t do it alone. Will you give $5, $10 or $15 to the Ohio Democratic Party today to help us continue to expose Josh Mandel?
Thank you for your support,

100 Things You Can Say To Irritate A Republican
Ohio women are under attack from John Kasich and his extremist legislature.
From SB 5’s attempt to cripple public employee rights, which provide a path out of poverty for so many women, to HB 125, the “heartbeat bill,” which is by far the most extreme anti-choice legislation in the country, it’s time for women to fight back.

When women vote, Democrats win.
This simple truth is why I have recently joined the Ohio Democratic Party as the Women’s Caucus Director.
Our mission: energize and engage women around the state to fight back against the Republican extremism that’s threatening Ohio’s future.
In the coming months, the Ohio Democratic Women’s Caucus (ODWC) will be working to organize women from Youngstown to Cincinnati, from Toledo to Chillicothe. We will be recruiting and training future candidates and campaign staff; holding forums and policy discussions on women’s health and women’s rights; and engaging women in the fight to repeal SB 5.
This is the foundation for victory in 2012– but we can’t do it without you!
Women’s values are Democrats’ priorities. We need you to stand with us in this fight. Will you contribute $5 or more today to help grow the ODWC and show the Republicans that we are ready to take them on in every corner of Ohio?
We have some big battles ahead of us. But together, we will create big victories for women, for Democrats and for Ohio!
Yours in the fight,
Lauren Harmon
Women’s Caucus Director
Obama Administration’s Achievements (Thus Far)
"Now it is true that I believe this country is following a dangerous trend when it permits too great a degree of centralization of governmental functions. I oppose this--in some instances the fight is a rather desperate one. But to attain any success it is quite clear that the Federal government cannot avoid or escape responsibilities which the mass of the people firmly believe should be undertaken by it. The political processes of our country are such that if a rule of reason is not applied in this effort, we will lose everything--even to a possible and drastic change in the Constitution. This is what I mean by my constant insistence upon "moderation" in government. Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are H. L. Hunt (you possibly know his background), a few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid."- President Dwight D Eisenhower: Document #1147; 8 November 1954
