Campaign slogan help
I have a dear friend who is running for a vacated Republican seat in a special, upcoming Congressional election in Ohio. She's a physician with a wealth of real, hands-on public health experience nationally and internationally. She's smart, engaging and best of all, a real Democrat.

Currently mulling over:

Caring for Our Future
Dr. ---- for Congress

as a campaign/yard sign slogan. Any other ideas? Help.

3. What is the seat?
What are the issues? Are there any personal issues you want to exploit with your candidate or the other? It should be based on the message of the campaign.

5. 2nd Congressional District of Ohio
Bush tapped the encumbent Bob Portman to be US Trade Representive.

The main issues are health care, education, the economy. Below is some information she presented to her local Dem Party and to Emily's List folks.
---------------------------------------------------------------
"As a doctor, I know that health care needs to be excellent and affordable. As your congresswoman, I will:

1. Ensure Medicare coverage for prescription drugs for seniors;
2. Reduce the cost of health coverage for small businesses; and
3. Guarantee that Social Security continues to provide the benefits promised us.

We want, need, and deserve a strong economy, safe world, clean environment, and secure future. These begin with better health for our families.”

Some of my ideas about what I'd (want to) do in Congress:
- Listen to SW Ohioans, represent them fairly, honestly, transparently.

- Bring together people with different priorities, values, and develop consensus in policy and law.

- Make every pregnancy a planned one: diminish the need for therapeutic abortion to near zero.

- Improve health care to the poor, rural and urban, via community health workers

- Work for fairer distribution of taxes so that communities that need more resources per child can get them. Counter-act the general trend that the rich-get-richer and the poor-get-poorer because our system institutionalizes inequality.

- Increase voter registration, voter turnout, and voter responsibility.

- Encourage community activism and “giving back” to the community, especially through volunteering.

- Wake politicians – and voters up. Throw off the Republican hegemony.

- Create, maintain, encourage a “Peace College,” with as much funding as the “War College.”

- Increase jobs programs to reduce unemployment, drug use, and crime.

- Attract high-tech and bio-tech firms to SW Ohio, including multi-nationals, attracted by our high quality of life and low cost of living.

- Offer tax incentives to companies that reduce air, water, and soil pollution.

- Make SW Ohio a tourist attraction for the region (Mid-Atlantic, South East, South, Mid-west, and Great Lakes). Promote development consonant with the rural and simple lifestyle of many of us.

6. Isn't she getting some serious help from DCCC
and other groups? Or is it an unwinnable race?

7. not sure
Before the special election, there is actually a primary between her and another Dem -- a repuke-lite Marine, with recent experience in Fallujah. He's anti-gay, anti-choice, pro-gun (NRA guy) ... and for those reasons viewed as more electable in a repub district. Why he just doesn't go over to the GOP should be the question since he sounds like a DINO and will vote like a repuke.
