OH-58

Submitted by Genuine Ohio Guy on Sun, 02/07/2010 - 9:58pm.

George Mays aka frequent candidate for US House District 5 is now running for Ohio House of Representatives in the 58th District. In past years his campaign lacks motivation, he really hasn't had a clear plan, and he just isn't too well known. Needless to say, as a resident, I'm a little discouraged. I'm thinking that this election might safe to be in the hands of the Republicans for 2010.

OH-58 Dear aka. 'Genuine Ohio Guy'

Submitted by george f mays on Sat, 02/27/2010 - 5:02am.
Dear aka 'Genuine Ohio Guy', (Please notice I am using my real name) My name is George F Mays and I am a Democratic candidate for Ohio house district 58. Please allow me to take issue with a few of your comments: I do not think that 2 primaries and one fall election within a year and a half would be understood by most people as making me a 'frequent candidate for US House district 5'. You may think I lacked motivation but what I lacked was money.Democratic leadership had given up on the district. Indeed, there was no one to even run this time untill one decided the Monday before the filing date. You were not with me during 20 newspaper interviews, 6 candidates nights, 6 t.v. spots, nor at the numerous events attended and the thousands of miles that I (we) drove. You were not with me when I literally wore the souls off my shoes. Please remember "Genuine Ohio Guy' I did receive the most raw vote of any Dem. in US House 05 history at nearly 106,000. Remember too, I kept my apponent occupied and out-of many local races. Besides, there are two other Dem.s in Ohio house-58's primary. If I am not too well known and not motivated I will lose and you will no longer be discouraged. I hope that someday we can meet and have a chuckle about this. Right now I have a race to win. Sincerely, George F. Mays no alias

Will you defend my rights?

Submitted by Genuine Ohio Guy on Sun, 02/28/2010 - 9:22pm.

Mr. Mays,
I guess the main point of my post should have been that I have been to candidates nights, I have read the newspapers, and visited your website and I still do not know what you stand for that will make Ohio better. Have I given up on the district? No! The 58th is a great district going through hard times. We have a Democratic State Senator, we had a Democratic State Rep. there. It is possible. I would like to point out though that while you defend the ideals of our founders and what our country stands for on your website, clearly don't agree with my right to privacy and my name "Genuine Ohio Guy, " suggesting I'm somewhat of a coward. Mind you that a couple of our founders (Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay) wrote The Federalist Papers written under the pen name "Publius." (Please tell me you don't think they were cowards. Do you?) Sir, I respectfully wish you the best of luck on the campaign trail and I truly hope that the 58th ends up in the Democratic hands, but by belittling my rights in an online community will not win my support nor support of my peers who embrace and utilize such a community. 

Sincerely,

"Genuine Ohio Guy"- if that is my "real" name.

right to privacy/ G.O.G.

Submitted by george f mays on Mon, 03/01/2010 - 2:50am.

 Dear G.O.G.,

The right to privacy is strongly implied in amendments to the Constitution. Obviously I (we) support that. However, when presented with such harsh criticism one tends to wish to face those that level those charges. That sort of sounds American also. At any rate, thank you for helping me see your points. I have never ducked any questions and have e-mailed an answer to everyone that has ever written me. Please feel free to do so. I am sure that I have much to learn. Blessings for a brighter future in OH-58 and in our state in general.               

                                                          George
