Just last week Congressman John Boehner resorted to calling Senator Voinovich a "wimp" for speaking out against President Bush on the Iraq War, but speaking out isn't enough, it's time for Voinovich to put his vote card where his mouth is. American troops have been on the front lines for more than 4 years while Senator Voinovich has consistently voted against a new direction in Iraq.
Tonight, the U.S. Senate will conduct a full night of debate on the Republican filibuster to the Levin-Reed amendment that would reduce U.S. forces in Iraq by ending the policing of the civil war and switching the focus to fighting Al Qaeda and terror related missions.
Starting at 9:00 PM tonight, the Ohio Democratic Party will start its 'Up All Night To Do What's Right' campaign by hosting a candle light vigil at Senator Voinovich's Columbus office.
Voinovich's Central, OH Office:
37 West Broad Street
Columbus, OH 43215
If you cannot make it to Columbus, join us in our virtual vigil online. Click here to join ODP's virtual vigil.
10:00 PM starts our 'Up All Night To Do What's Right' campaign calling on action from Senator Voinovich. We will send out an update every hour on the lack of Voinovich's leadership on this issue and hold him accountable for his vote. We challenge other organizations to join us and stay 'Up All Night To Do What's Right' and hold Voinovich accountable for his political posturing.
To keep us inspired in the wee hours of the night, we need a theme song. We would like Ohio's bloggers to choose the "Up All Night To Do What's Right" theme song. Post your ideas in the comments section here or at the ODP blog. Links to the song on You Tube or elsewhere on the web would be great. Later tonight we will choose a winner and play the song ad nauseam.
Throughout the night we will be encouraging Ohioans to call Senator Voinovich and tell him to support the Levin-Reed amendment. You can call him at his DC office:
Washington, DC Office: (202) 224-3353

The lights won't turn off tonight as the Ohio Democratic Party fights for our troops. We will have guest blogs throughout the night and other fun treats on our website www.ohiodems.org.
