McCain:
Are you "Joe the Plumber"?
Tell us your "Joe the Plumber" story for a chance to hit the road on the Ohio Victory 2008 Tour Bus in support of John McCain, Sarah Palin and lower taxes on families and small businesses in Ohio.
By now, "Joe the Plumber" is a household name and has become a symbol of Barack Obama's plan to "spread the wealth around." During a recent campaign event in Toledo, Ohio, "Joe the Plumber" asked a simple question and got a surprising answer from the Democratic nominee. When he asked why Barack Obama's tax plan was going to punish him for working hard and living the American Dream, Barack Obama responded, "When you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody."
In that brief exchange, the American people got to see what this campaign is all about ... a choice between honoring the hard work of everyday Americans like "Joe the Plumber" and increasing taxes to "spread the wealth." In these tough economic times, there is no doubt that John McCain and Sarah Palin stand firmly on the side of hardworking "everyday Joes" who understand the value of honest work and the American Dream.
That's why we want to hear from you and share your story with the rest of Ohio, the place where this all began.
It's simple ...email ohio at mccain08hq.com telling us why you are "Joe the Plumber." Share your story of working hard, owning a small business and living the American Dream. INCLUDE YOUR ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER in the email.
Ten "Joe the Plumbers" will be selected to embark on an upcoming Bus Tour across the state of Ohio with other special guests to tell the rest of the country why you're standing with John McCain and Sarah Palin on Nov. 4th.
Obama:
Ohio plumbers and skilled trades people are responding to Sen. John McCain’s continued use of “Joe the Plumber” as a symbol of the working and middle class.
They have released an online video “setting the record straight.” The spot features Joe Rossler, Jodi Miller and Jose Guerra, all licensed plumbers and pipefiiters in the Toledo area.
