FYI: I am good friends with the Dravecky's here in the area. I believe he lives out west, but perhaps if he were to come in for a weekend they could honor him.
To Erplane, although I am not going to sit around and go through everything Traficant brought to our area, here is a small list I posted on my site, the source is the Vindy:
$26 million for the Chevrolet Centre Money for the state Route 711 Connector Sanitary-sewer project near Lake Milton Kaufmann's warehouse in North Jackson Funding for Federal Street downtown Securing $2 million to widen U.S. Route 422 near Eastwood Mall Doubling the size of the Youngstown Air Reserve Station in Vienna; Building a federal courthouse in Youngstown
I am so short-sighted erplane that I, a conservative Republican, am actually supporting a Democrat. Before you call me short-sighted, why don't you look at yourself in the mirror. I am not as biased you may think. I just speak what I believe.
Anyone watching MSNBC should be laughed at because you actually embrace such a far left agenda.
In regards to this blog, I disagree enormously with Tyler Clark on this particular subject. Although I am a conservative Republican that wasn't even born when Traficant first became our Congressmen, I have read up on his many accomplishments over the years and believe he did more good than bad for our area.
Here is what sets Jim Traficant apart from most politicians, he was a true Maverick while in Congress. I'd be willing to bet he worked across the aisle more than anyone in the House during the Clinton years.
Embarrassment or not, I think he did a lot of good for our area and he was the man that warned us about fearing our Government. In this period of time with debate on health care and energy, he may just be the right guy to take down Tim Ryan.
I have also covered Jim Traficant on my blog, www.MVRed.com. I have included a Countdown Clock until his release and will post a number of articles on him over the next 21 days.
Uhh DeSouza, I am a conservative Republican that supports Jim Traficant. Most conservatives I know would back him if he ran for Congress over Tim Ryan.
I am a Republican praising this man. He is a hell of a lot better than this far left Tim Ryan we have in office. All Tim Ryan does is buddy up with Nancy Pelosi, and in return he get's whatever he wants through the Appropriation Bills.... pretty sad.

Ryan and the middle ground
Tim Ryan's so-called middle ground does nothing to put an end to the killings of innocent fetuses in this country.

GOP must stop playing games on health care
We are saying no to nationalized health care; what more Americans are against now more than ever!

‘Welcome home Jimbo’ countdown
So how many of you here think Traficant will speak out against Obama once he is released.
Go to Youtube and watch him lash out against the Dems and praise the GOP in his final remarks before Congress.
