Hey, an Indiana middle school teacher is gearing to run against Tony Bennett.

He could probably use some DU bump. It looks like Bennett has $500,000+ in campaign funds and Mr. Oakley has....$8,000.

-- Here's his (modest) website - www.oakley2012.org

-- And facebook - http://www.facebook.com/pages/Justin-Oakley-2012/146223512140632

-- Also has a semi-detached page for thanking teachers with videos where people can thank teachers for changing their lives.

I don't know what chance he has of beating Bennett, but a little DU word of mouth couldn't hurt.

He seems like a good person who truly wants to help our schools dig out of the hole the republicans have put us in.

His web site is at:

I'm in the background of one of his photos.
