Jennifer you inspired us

[Sara Bradi]

Despite having a 1:4 fund raising disadvantage, despite not getting party support, despite coming under sniper fire.

Brunner lost 45-54, much narrower than projected.

The courage express was an inspiration to all of us.

2. party insiders who rallied against her

instead of letting the primary play out naturally.

4. Lee Fisher is not an impressive candidate...Jennifer is a diamond in the rough

Did anyone see the sex tape/photo-shop video on Huffington Post of Lee Fisher? Portman's Swift-boater Team is out and running the slime game already!

It's gong to be a Tea-bagger-Swift-boat attacking GOP in Ohio!

3. Jennifer came under "sniper" fire the MOMENT she became serious about running.

I wish I didn't know how badly she was treated by people who are supposed to be Democrats.

The Ohio Democrat Party is an entrenched white male organization, that is void of imagination, and vision. Period.

5. A message from my friend Jenny Brunner to her friends on DU

Hi Tom,

You have been a wonderful supporter. I'm working on an email to supporters
now. Here are a couple of lines for you to post:

Our campaign broadened the progressive base in Ohio. We fought to make
people matter more than money. We were outflanked in money, endorsements
and establishment pushback, but with the support of a broad and diverse
group of activists who helped us get our message to other Ohioans, we pulled
off a campaign that has amazed many. We were outspent 4 to 1 overall and on
broadcast media 100% to 0. We can take what we learned and help new
candidates of all races, nationalities, gender, orientation and age become
part of our government, so that our government looks and thinks more like
us.

Thanks for your friendship, great ideas and support, Tom.

Jennifer
