We also got an orer in for 60 signs and other things for the workers on the Ohio Turnpike. Keep it coming Mr. Blackwell.

haha that's awesome! Keep spreading the campaign love, but save a few for when you get back to campus, I'm sure Shaker Height's campaign office will run out of fun free yard signs & stickers as we get closer to it. P.S. have you gotten the "students for strickland" bumper sticker yet?
