I wanted to let you know about the Rasmussen poll just released in our race: Sherrod Brown: 44 Josh Mandel: 44 We're all tied up! Thanks to the support of so many grassroots volunteers throughout Ohio, we've brought this race to a dead heat. Make no mistake, Sherrod Brown will have a lot more money than us -- especially with all the dollars he's raising from Hollywood and Washington. In fact, from our last tally just weeks ago, the SEIU, AFL-CIO and Harry Reid's SuperPAC had spent more money on negative ads against us than against any Senate candidate in America! But we have something stronger on our side -- THE PEOPLE. Throughout Ohio and America, citizens are recognizing that the road to taking back the Senate and the White House runs through Ohio. It couldn't have been more clear than earlier this week in Beallsville, where Mitt Romney, Rob Portman and I stood shoulder-to-shoulder with a large crowd of hard-working coal miners -- Ohioans who labor every day to keep our electricity bills affordable and our country safe. Unfortunately though, their jobs and families' best interests are now under attack by the policies of their own U.S. Senator, Sherrod Brown. Here are a couple photos from the rally: If these poll numbers and photos motivate you to want to continue charging shoulder-to-shoulder with me, please consider making a contribution today. Just click here to give whatever amount is most comfortable for you and your family. Your contribution of $25, $50, $100, $250, $500 or more will send Sherrod Brown and Barack Obama a message that we won't back down from defending hard-working people who are being put out of work by their own government. Just click here to send a strong message to Obama, Brown and their cronies in Hollywood and DC! It's all tied up and it's not even Labor Day yet. Who knows what false and dishonest attacks will come at me next, but with your help we'll be able to defend against them and charge forward from 44% to 50%+! Thanks as always, Josh Paid for by Citizens for Josh Mandel, Inc.
