Thousands of refugees from the violence in Iraq are headed to the U.S. but Ohio Governor Ted Strickland is telling President Bush - don't send them to Ohio.

The Democratic governor is taking the stand to underscore his opposition to U.S. military action in Iraq. Strickland actually voted against it when he was a congressman a few years ago.
