Jim Graham fo Congress! (R) (OH-17)

Jim Graham is running for Congress in the 17th district of Ohio - a seat currently held by Tim Ryan (D). Ryan is a very liberal democrat, a close ally of Pelosi and voted for ObamaCare, Cap and Tax, and every bailout and stimulis that his (former?) girlfriend's mother told him to. That's right - he dated Pelosi's daughter.

This is also the same seat (OH-17) that Jim ("Beam me up, Scotty!") Trafficant held until he was convicted and sent to jail.

Jim Graham is making a race out of it - Ryan is showing less than 50% in indirect polling and Trafficant is taking support from Ryan.

and they just bought over $115,000.00 of radio air time in the OH-17 district running negative ads against Ryan. The ads are now airing on local AM and FM stations!

Jim has also received an "A" rating from the National Rifle Association, and an "A" rating from the Gun Owners of America.

Jim Graham also has the hearty endorsement of Scotsman. I have known Jim Graham for over a year now, and he will NOT be a wallflower. This is the sort of man we need in Congress. He will fight tirelessly to repeal ObamaCare, reduce Federal spending and the mountain of debt we as a country and as individuals are saddled with, thanks in no small part to the voting record of the incumbent here in this (OH-17) congressional district.

Jim Graham is the best man for the job and his conservative values are greatly needed in Congress for the next two years.
