Remember to come out for our next meeting at 7:30, Tuesday, September 22, at the old location, the Community Room at the First Merit Bank on Center Ridge Road, North Ridgeville. We are still looking at alternate locations for our meetings because the stairs to the
meeting room make it difficult for some of our members to attend. We have scouted several other venues and find that either there’s not enough privacy or it’s too loud or it’s too expensive.
We’ll keep trying!
Allison Manning, President

Dear Friends:
For the next 16 months, I will visit all of Ohio’s 88 counties, talking to voters about my plans to fight for the most vulnerable in our society, to clean up corruption in Columbus, and to make sure our state is doing everything it can to bring jobs back to our cities, towns, and villages.
In a time when so many in our state are struggling, I will lead. I ask you to join our cause and visit my website to volunteer or make a secure donation at www.mikedewine.com.
There is a crisis of leadership in our State Capitol, and it is time to get to work to get Ohio back on track.
I am running for Attorney General because I know that we can do better. We can have the best crime fighting technology right here in Ohio. We can end the corruption that has been contaminating Columbus for far too long, and we can give our counties the tools they need to make sure that all Ohioans are safe and protected from anyone who would do them harm.
I have spent my entire career standing up for Ohio, and you have stood with me. Serving this great state has been the honor of a lifetime, and I know that together, we can build an Ohio that makes us proud.
Thank you so very much.
Mike DeWine

Are you planning to go to Washington DC for the 9/12 protest? There may still be space available on one of the busses. I’m planning to join the other 912’ers and “march” on DC. But anyone who knows me must remember that walking (or marching) is not something I do very well; I can stand fairly still, however. Then there’s my phobia about being too far from a restroom; I plan to cut down on fluids 24-hrs in advance. I can sleep almost anywhere, anytime, so getting some sleep while riding down on the bus overnight shouldn’t be an issue for me.
It’s the “peaceful” part of the protest that concerns me the most. I think I’ve been looking for a fight over several issues these last few months and having the chance to be so close to the Arena (Congress and the White House) may be more than I can handle. My husband is less worried about me than the people who might be standing nearby.
Yours Protestingly,
Dianne Mueller

With the country’s agitation over the proposed U.S. House bill H.R. 3200 to reform the health care system in the U.S., more and more people are stepping out of their comfort zones and – dare we say it? – protesting, bringing their grievances to the
attention of elected representatives all over the country.It’s possible that these Tea Parties and protest events are larger than even the anti-war protests of the 70’s. Marching (or just standing there) and carrying protest signs is so American we wonder why anyone would criticize the efforts of people exercising their 1st amendment rights. So, we went looking for web sites that promoted protesting, encouraged protests and marches and we found a place that could be the – forgive us – the “poster child” for protesting,
It’s a very dynamic “HOW-TO” on getting across your message:

In 2007 their web site put together a huge thank-you page for those who came out for the
“Carle Clinic Protest - Carle Clinic Protest a success! Thanks to everyone who helped make last week's protest at Carle Clinic a success!
Many people came out to the protest, and many more helped distribute flyers, make protest signs, helped photocopy materials, and much more!”
