This year, Senator Sherrod Brown and others will be hosting a series of fundraisers to Secure Our Senate. As you may know, after eight difficult and destructive years, our next president will only be able to effect the change we so desperately need if the Senate cooperates in adopting better policies--like health care for all, stopping the looming catastrophe from climate change, etc. Realistically, that will only happen with new leaders in the Senate (and keeping a few of the good folks who are in competitive races this year).

Gov. Ted Strickland is the special guest speaker at the Worker's Memorial Day event tonight (4/28) from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the UAW Local 647 Hall, 10020 Reading Road.

From the UAW site:

Seven UAW members died on the job in 2007 and three have already lost their lives this year.

These sad facts underscore the importance of Workers Memorial Day on April 28, 2008. On this day, we remember those who have died on the job and recommit to making sure every worker arrives home at their end of their shift in the same condition as when they left home to report for work.

The challenges are daunting. There are employers out there who see health and safety as an afterthought compared to profits and productivity, especially in a down economy

"As UAW members, we know nothing is more important than our health and safety," UAW President Ron Gettelfinger said. "Even though membership in a union means far better focus on health and safety when compared to non-union workplaces, we must remain ever vigilant about protecting ourselves from dangerous workplaces. We owe that to ourselves, our families and our communities."

Music, food, and drinks are featured at tonight's event.

State Rep. Dan Dodd (D-Hebron) will hold a Town Hall Meeting on Monday, April 28th, from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the Hocking County Library in Logan.

Challenger David Robinson (D-Columbus) will be attending a Dublin house party at the home of Lucy and Al Gabel, located at 7190 Coffman Road at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 29th.

On the fifth anniversary of George Bush's infamous "Mission Accomplished" speech, Cuyahoga County Commissioner Tim Hagan and North Shore Federation of Labor Executive Secretary Harriet Applegate will respond to John McCain's campaign event in Cleveland.

The press conference at 9:00 a.m. at the North Shore Federation of Labor, Laborers Local 310, 3250 Euclid Avenue in Cleveland will be followed by a demonstration outside the McCain town hall event at the InterContinental Cleveland at 9801 Carnegie Avenue at around 10 a.m.

Full details here.

While our Democratic Presidential campaigns continue the primary process, John McCain has begun the general election. He has just this week come to Ohio on a "Reinvention Tour" seeking to fool Ohioans into believing he can fix our economy.

We don't have a Democratic nominee to fight back yet, so telling the truth to the people of Ohio about his record of failure on the economy is our job. Will you join?
