I told Chillicothe Gazette City Editor Lori McNelly that:  &#8220;I&#8217;m an average American citizen who&#8217;s decided to run for president.&#8221;  She asked me what I would propose for an economically depressed Ross County.  I said Atwood, Kansas has a citizen&#8217;s benevolent fund to help neighbors in need, city projects short on tax money, schools that need additional money&#8230; Atwood has 1,500 people and the fund is currently at a phenomenal $1 million.  I would also look to more local church initiatives to help the disadvantaged, as they have in nearby Bourneville (pop. 300).  At another whistle-stop today there, I noticed a sign at a street corner:  Food Pantry:  If in need, call&#8230;  Christian Union Church.  From Bourneville we went to Bainbridge, Ohio, home of the nation&#8217;s first &#8220;Dental Museum.&#8221;  It is at the site of the late John Harris M.D.D.D.S., who had the first American School of Instruction on Dental Surgery, circa 1825.  Liz and the kids posed for a picture outside, with tooth brushes in hand and over-exaggerated smiles.  <strong>Note:<\/strong>  A sign in the window of a crafts store in downtown Bainbridge read:  &#8220;I don&#8217;t suffer from insanity &#8212; I enjoy every minute.&#8221;  I told Liz I thought that might be a good motto for the campaign.  She smiled, even more exaggeratedly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Average Joe Buckeye Blitz cont. We did a whistle-stop event in Chillicothe, Ohio today.
