Sticking it to Ken Blackwell in Southwest Ohio, Day 1

[roseBudd]

First off I did tons of GOTV in the inner city for Kerry in '04 so I already kind of knew I would have no problem if I asked African American owned businesses to display my Blackwell flyer. In fact the first one I walked into I asked if they remembered me from '04 and the barber said "sure you gave us the Eminem CD (burned copy of Mosh)

I explained I had a new thing and showed them my Blackwell flyer and told them Ken Blackwell was running for Governor and that in '04 he tried to prevent blacks from having their votes counted. Showed them the flyer, they said "stick it in the window".



Walked to the next barber shop, not one I remembered visiting in '04, told the female owner what I was up to and got an earful about blacks being told they were not registered, standing in the wrong precinct line etc. Even though I said I brought my own tape, she pulled out her tape and hung it in the window.



What makes this extra sweet is this was just blocks from where Blackwell grew up and today it was announced another local African American Republican Charles Winburn was spearheading his campaign.
