I just got a flyer from AFP in the mayors election

here in Columbus Ohio. I feel the need to sanitize the mail box since I have washed my hands twice after seeing who it is from. Does anyone know how I can reach the local Columbus office to scorch a few ears? Their web and facebook sites carefully have no phone numbers. ( My precinct is one of those that had 'problems' with enough election machines in Ken Blackwells' thieving year of 2004, we're kinda low income and mixed race in this precinct. ) I called the state party, county party , city councils' office to leave a message at Ginthers' office. I wound up emailing his web site phone number to see if they could help me. I am so peeved that those Koch stooges sent me something, the dog got up to put her head in my lap cause I was complaining so hard.

I am very familiar with the Americans for 'Prosperity'.

I just didn't connect the dots.

If the Koch's have anything to do with it, you know it is against everything that is good for

the working class, the poor, and America as a whole.

They represent zero taxation on the rich, zero regulations by government, and destruction of the environment.

That is why the Republicans and the Tea Party love them.

Thanks again.

the city of Columbus is deep blue, the surrounding suburbs are lighter blue ( corrected to say blue going to purple), the surrounding counties are pink & red. This precinct is not one that gets many mailers from R candidates....yes I notice...I have lived here 14 years, many Dem candidates and their supporters have stopped here over the years, the last R was here in 2004 (for shrub), I chased him off my porch, I was mobile then. Where in Ohio are you?

Tea Party, redneck, Bible belt.

I live in Seaman, Ohio.

I am very familiar with the Americans for 'Prosperity' and the Kochs.

I just didn't connect the abbreviation.
