Vote from Home--in Columbus, Ohio

What a handsome group! Marc Gustafson, the founder, seems to be in two places at once--Columbus, Ohio and Oxford University where he is in Middle East Studies. His permanent address for campaign contributions is New York. He speaks Arabic.

Vote from Home is a Political Action Committee established in 2007 by a group of Marshall, Rhodes, Fulbright and Truman Scholars. VHF's mission is to recruit and track early Democratic voters in Ohio for the 2008 Election.

Walter Cronkite, former news man and Robert N. Downey of Goldman Sachs are listed on the Advisory Board of his other organization Reach The World, which Marc also founded. Marc and his group, none of whom are from Columbus, decided they needed to come to Ohio to register Democratic voters. Who knows if it is legal. They are living on Brownlee, according to Michelle Malkin. How much of this is going on in the critical states under various names? Why do these carpetbaggers think the residents who live here and pay taxes here can't be trusted with the ballot? Do we need snobby, east coast kids who travel around the world and study in Europe to come here for a few months and 'splain it to us dummies? We've got 50,000 students on one campus at OSU, plus Capital, Wittenberg and Columbus State. With OCLC, Chem Abstracts, Battelle, and OSU we are the information capital of the USA. But apparently we're too dumb to know how to register and vote!
