On Wednesday, May 7th, requests will be sent out by Representatives Michele Grim and Tristan Rader, to all Ohio House representatives asking them to co-sponsor 'The Ohio Healthcare Plan', the bill which would establish a universal, publicly funded healthcare finance system in Ohio.

Please call your Ohio representative and ask him/her to co-sponsor and support the bill.

Don't know who your Ohio rep is?

Go to 'Find My State Legislators', then it will ask for your address to find your rep. and his/her phone number.

Here's what to say:

I am ______, your constituent in ______County.

Ohioans have suffered from lack of access to good health care for too long. We have worse health outcomes than most other states.

This is due to being uninsured or having insurance that has such high deductibles that we hesitate too long before seeking care.

It's time you realize that a large majority of Ohioans favor a universal system of healthcare financing.

I ask that you co-sponsor and implement 'The Ohio Health Care Plan'.

Saturday, May 3 and Sunday, May 4, 7pm, First Unitarian Universalist Church, 93 W. Weisheimer Rd.

The 1970 killings by National Guardsmen of four students during a peaceful anti-war demonstration at Kent State University have now been shown to be cold-blooded, premeditated official murder. But the definitive proof of this monumental historic reality is not, apparently, worthy of significant analysis or comment in today’s mainstream media.

After 37 years of official denial and cover-up, tape-recorded evidence, that has existed for decades and has been in the possession of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), has finally been made public.

It proves what “conspiracy theorists” have argued since 1970—that there was a direct military order leading to the unprovoked assassination of unarmed students. Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) documents show collusion between Ohio Governor James A. Rhodes and the FBI that aimed to terrorize anti-war demonstrators and their protests that were raging throughout the nation.

Recently, I attended a town hall meeting with the three candidates running for District 7 Columbus City Council. The residents at the event live in District 7 and love Columbus. They love our city so much that they took their valuable time and energy to attend and ask questions. Unfortunately, nobody had the courage to tell them that THEIR VOTE DOESN’T MATTER to Columbus City Council.

Our Republicans in the state capital rule Ohio with “gerrymandering” mixed with a generous amount of hate and a dash of religion. Jealous as always, Columbus City Council has their own upside-down version of “Gerrymandering” that they are proud to call “Citymandering.”

Sure, the residents of District 7 will vote in the primary election Tuesday, May 6, but so will EVERYONE ELSE IN COLUMBUS. My wife and I live on the Far East side. We have no clue what’s important to the residents of District 7. Yet, our votes will count just as much as theirs. It’s just like “gerrymandering,” but for Democrats instead of Republicans.
