As Ohio goes, so goes the nation.

No Republican has ever won the White House without winning Ohio. So to win the presidency, Democrats know they have to win here first.

That's why we created a new program called 88 in 08. We're asking loyal supporters such as you to contribute $88 (one dollar for each Ohio county) to help us build a statewide, grassroots organization in each of Ohio's 88 counties.

Here's what a single $88 contribution can do (based on statewide calculations):

• 226 Absentee Ballot Request Forms
• 1760 GOTV phone calls
• 31 new voters that can be identified and registered
• 117 yard signs
• 880 bumper stickers

These tools are critical to getting out the Republican vote this fall, and they'll help us establish a solid 88 county political strategy that will keep Ohio Republican.

In fact, every dollar raised from your county will be used to benefit Republican candidates right there in your county. So your generous contribution of $88 or $176 or more will help us defeat the Democrats right at your front door.
