George Voinovich is a liar

It seems that our senior Senator is going around calling Barack Obama a "socialist." This is just one example of the ugly desperation of the Republican Party at this point. Well, I decided to call dear old George out on his lie:

Dear Senator Voinovich:

I am writing to tell you that your characterizing Barack Obama as a "socialist" is unacceptable. Using such partisan lies as scare tactics should be beneath a U.S. Senator. Apparently, they are not. I am truly disappointed in you. For my part, I will make sure that everyone I know--Democrats, moderate Republicans, and undecided voters--is aware of your unseemly statement.

Just remember: you represent ALL Ohio citizens, not just the Republican ones. Those of us who will vote for Senator Obama will not forget that you tried to disparage him. We will use our votes this year and in 2010 to grant him the largest Democratic Congress possible. With a friendly Congress, he can try to undo all the damage that your party has done the last eight years.

If you want to challenge Senator Obama on real issues, fine. But the mudslinging will come back to haunt you and your party on November 4.

Best regards,

Veronica C. Johnson

I sent this message through his Senate website's contact form. I will also be calling his Cleveland office and his Washington office. I urge you to do the same. Be civil, but don't let Republican lies go unchallenged!
