Right Wing Champ is all over this.
My favorite is the morons who think this is to defend us from Canada. Go read about this, maybe contact Miss Marcey Kaptur about having her duck taping Finkbeiner's mouth. While Finkbeiner gets progressively more stupid, Marcy is a Progressive.
Berkeley East; Toledo Mayor Finkbeiner Kicks The Marines Out
You know, Toodeledoo coulda been the prize possession of Michigan. Yes, I meant to say prize possession.
The various surveys resulted in a 50-year dispute over the Toledo Strip, which was only five miles wide at the Indiana border and eight miles wide at Lake Erie. Although it has been reported that no shots were fired, Ohio and Michigan militia units were sent to the Toledo Strip between 1835 and 1837. But luck was on Ohio's side. At the time, the Compromise of 1820 allowed the admission of one slave state for one free state. Michigan and Missouri were to be admitted as states, but only when Michigan surrendered the Toledo Strip to Ohio. The reason? Probably because a Presidential election was coming up. State of Ohio residents could vote, while Michigan Territory residents could not.
Ohio might not feel so lucky now.
