I live in Cleveland too and pray to God Herman wins! In the city itself Boy Blunder Denis the Menace will probably will, as will Hanoi John. This town is polluted with brian-dead Union Goons. You'd think after Jim Traficant made NE Ohio the laughing stock of the nation Dims would wise up. There is hope in the 'burbs---pleeeeease, dear God!!
If you want on or off freepmail me.
Gotta Love Ed Herman. Can we help canvas the district for Herman?
Welcome to Free Republic!
To volunteer call Ed Herman for Congress headquarters, 216-221-8476
Thanks dubyaismypresident. It would be cool to pass out Ed Herman yard signs at another Ohio City Marketplace FReep too.
I don't live in the district but I'll be supporting Herman with a donation.
There is a chance that Dennis the Menace cooked his goose by acting the fool on the national stage for months, and flipflopping bigtime on abortion.
His strength in the past has been the european ethnic vote,
who like his populist "little guy" stance but will be turned off by his anti-war and pro-abortion posturing. They are socially conservative and patriotic, and won't cotton to a "Department of Peace."
Kick Kucinich Out.
diago, i think ed has a real chance to unseat dennis this november. in the spirit of having some fun, a group called the disgruntled voters have recorded a parody song called the wreck of the dennis kucinich. it is outstanding. any and all ed herman supporters who would like to hear this song can e-mail ekimann@aol.com and a downloadable version will be sent. for comments or questions the disgruntled voters can be reached at 216-556-0035. go ed!!!!!!!!!
Herman, a fresh-faced, 30-year-old Lakewood real estate agent, hopes to parlay his experience as a U.S. Army interrogator sent to Afghanistan in the wake of 9/11 into a stunning November victory.
Fluent in Arabic, Sergeant Herman grilled al-Qaida and Taliban prisoners, first at a detention center in Kandahar and later in Bagram, north of Kabul, for nine months from December 2001 to August 2002.
"In the beginning, at Kandahar, the phone would ring and it'd be [Secretary of Defense Donald] Rumsfeld calling to find out what was going on," Herman remembers.

As a member of Task Force 202, the first Army intelligence unit deployed in the Bush war on ism, Herman is featured in a new book, The Interrogators: Inside the Secret War Against Al Qaeda (Little, Brown and Co.; $25.95), written by Chris Mackey, the man who recruited Herman when they both were students at Fordham University in New York City
Eric, I wish you had stayed in C-Town. We coulda knocked off Kucinch!
Same here. That poor redistricting is another thing we can thank TAFT for. We could have possibly gotten rid of this communist or Sherrod the Red. Of course the PD just endorsed Dennis the Red Menace. And people wonder why Cleveland is #1 in poverty and business capital is fleeing the area.
I missed that, and I guess I'm glad I did...what are they thinking?! We stopped by Herman HQ today to get yard signs...still had Bush-Cheney ones, but all their Ed Herman signs (they had 4000 to start) are long gone...I've seen more Herman than Dennis signs over here West suburbs, although the Kerry vs. Bush count might be a toss-up! Except...the Dem's plaster signs everywhere (including the tree-lawn in front of O.L.A...the groundskeeper hopefully will notice and remove promptly!) and the GOP'ers tend to be more restrained...and since I've seen almost equal numbers of W. signs, I'm saying "my side" is ahead (knock on wood!)!
The endorsement was on Thursday 10/14/04. You can use it to cover your keyboard while you read. I've been trying to get a Herman sign or at least a bumpersticker and am going to try the website. There are nowhere near that many Dennis? signs around as last time -- they're too damned embarrassed and they know it.
There are Herman bumper stickers available at the HQ...Madison Ave. in Lakewood...but no signs left...HOWEVER...my "orginal" Bush-Cheney bumper sticker from '00 was also a "knock-off"...some enterprising local person got more printed up in a "timely fashion" (Herman HQ isn't expecting anymore signs because they didn't "re-order" soon enough to get them before the election...but that's GOOD, right?!)...so let me know if you come across any alternative ways to get Herman signs/campaign buttons!
FReegards, and go W!
