Campaigning in civilian clothing instead of the desert camoflauge he wore to defend this country in Iraq, future Congressman Paul Hackett is reporting for duty.

And he's got some great backup from the netroots. Grow Ohio is behind him, and Tim Tagaris is reporting on the OH 2 race, which will be decided August 2.

So far, so good, but even better is what he reports on today:

One of the greatest qualities of a grassroots based community is the willingness of people to offer their individual skills while we fight together for principles and candidates we believe in collectively. So when I received an email from Kevin Kefgen, a video producer/editor in Las Vegas, offering to help Paul Hackett's campaign by creating a commercial based upon my entry, "10/25/2004: What a Difference a Day Makes," I was pleased, but not completely surprised.

Late last night, I got the final cut of the spot in my inbox, and I wanted to share it with all of you. Feel free to link it on your own blogs and websites. Most importantly, this is a testament to what we can all accomplish as individuals, and collectively, in the next two years by getting involved at Grow Ohio.

Go check it out. Oh, and Kevin? Nice Work.

Yeah, Ohio 2 is a red district. After Fallujah, though, I don't think Major Hackett's going to be fazed at the prospect of speaking a little truth in a Republican stronghold.
