Second police group endorses Gov. Strickland for re-election
The Ohio Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association has endorsed Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland for re-election.
Strickland earlier was endorsed by the Ohio Fraternal Order of Police.
“The O.P.B.A. endorses Gov. Strickland based on his strong record on law enforcement and public safety issues, and his continued support for the collective bargaining rights of public employees,” Terry Gallagher, executive director of the association, said in a press release on Thursday, July 29.
Strickland is running against Republican John Kasich, a former Columbus-area U.S. House member.
The O.P.B.A. represents police departments and law enforcement agencies throughout the state, including departments in many suburban communities.

SEIU, and other corrupt unions involved with political influence; ACORN; card check, of course called EmployeeFreeChoiceAct, which could not be further from the truth, that Nancy Puke lady says will pass – probably just deem it passed like other delusional democrat schemes. Our future is in the hands of far left radicals – and oblivious people are wishing them happy birthday, as though they actually care about America.

Remember Taft? It was bad and the economy was good. Can you imagine what it be like today, in a bad economy? I vote both ways, but for now, I think the smart vote is Strickland, if you think it through.

Put back in office the Republicans, when their policies cause the biggest economic financial failures since the Republican’s Great Depression of the 1930’s. No way. I am voting for Governor Ted Strickland.
