Video: John Lott/ OFCC PAC vs. ''Million'' Moms
If you weren't able to attend or want to relive the moment, click here to view footage of John Lott, OFCC PAC volunteers, and the scant few "Million" Mom marchers on hand at the Independence, OH rally.
HISTORY:
Rep. Jim Trakas (R-17), of Independence, was hammered on television by Democratic opponent Blair Melling in the 17th District. Melling, a Solon lawyer, blasted Trakas for supporting a concealed-weapons law. Trakas endured weeks of televised attack ads portraying his pro-Concealed Carry Reform stance as a wild-wild West-style position.
Trakas watched as a highly-publicized election eve anti-Trakas rally, sponsored by the Ohio contingent of the Million Mom March, was held in the park he named when a City Councilman. And he smiled, as pro-CCW counter-protesters, many representing OFCC PAC, outnumbered the so-called Million Mom's by 2 to 1.
So how did the "Mom attack" fare at the polls? Trakas soared to a convincing victory, taking votes nearly 2 to 1.
