Average Joe Buckeye Blitz cont.<\/strong><\/em> During Mass this morning at St. Frances de Sales Church in Newark, Ohio, the priest said that St. Peter Claver spent 38 years ministering to Black slaves. During campaign 2000, I told a Pittsburgh, Kansas newspaper that many Blacks are still “slaves” to poverty loops in the inner cities, with adults and children there dodging bullets, drugs and hunger. (We saw this first hand — as we have seen numerous times throughout the country — while doing research in a ‘gang war zone’ on the South Side of Chicago several years back.) And because of the conditions, we ask American suburbanites, and the like — through creative church outreach, mentoring programs, and so on — to roll up their sleeves and go into the inner city to help… From Newark, we headed further south. At the Coop’s Corners Store in Thornville, Ohio, (pop. 1,000), I fastened a campaign button to the bulletin board, then talked to owner John Gillogli at length about the campaign. He, in turn, told me as a local business owner he likes to sponsor youth activities. He has donated genrously to the local girl’s softball league and to a high school class that had entered a recent Tractor Pull event. Thornville has an actual: Tractor Pull Park. From Thornville we headed to South Bloomington, Ohio, where I played a sandlot baseball game with our kids, as we do often on the road. Afterward, a South Bloomfield police officer pulled up and said vice-presidential candidate John Edwards had just come through here on Rte. 23 last week, “and we were only given two hours notice.”<\/em> I debated whether to reply: “Well gosh, look at us! We slipped in right under your nose.” But I didn’t. Next stop: Adams County, Ohio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
