Petition Signing Opportunity!!!

On Monday, October 14, from 3-6 PM, you will have the opportunity to sign 3 important petitions. This event is located at the Dale and Eileen Martin residence at 3885 E. Patterson Rd, Beavercreek, OH  45430.  You will be able to conveniently sign all three petitions at the station set up in the garage.

1. Petition to Overturn HB6.  Ohioans Against Corporate Bailouts is circulating petitions to overturn Ohio HB6 – a bill that would gut our clean energy standards and bailout aging coal plants (1 in Indiana) and 2 nuclear plants. Right now it is HUGELY important that we collect the 266,000 signatures that get this on the Ohio ballot in 2020.
2. Petition for John P. O’Donnell. Cuyahoga County Judge John P. O’Donnell is circulating petitions for a seat as a Justice on the Ohio Supreme Court. Judge O’Donnell needs our help to get on the ballot so please stop by and sign his petitions.
3. Gun Background Checks.  This petition is to put a proposal that will effectively require background checks on all gun purchases before the General Assembly, from Ohioans for Gun Safety.  This is especially important due to Gov. DeWine’s decision to retreat from backing a “red flag” law and mandatory background checks on private gun sales.

Make sure you are registered to vote in order to sign! Check here.

There are 3 locations in Greene County for interested people to add their signature to the petition to overturn HB6 via a proposed referendum on the ballot. Add your name to help shut down the LIES that are being spread against stopping this corporate bailout/renewable energy killer bill!

Ohioans Against Corporate Bailouts, the group behind the anti-House Bill 6 effort, has till October 21 to gather the almost 266,000 valid signatures from registered Ohio voters needed to place the measure on the 2020 ballot. HAVE YOUR NAME BE ONE OF THEM!!

The law, House Bill 6, adds an 85 cent monthly fee to the electric bill of most Ohio customers. That fee will provide $150 million a year to FirstEnergy Solutions to prop up two unprofitable nuclear power plants in northern Ohio. It also lets utilities add subsidies to boost two failing coal power plants (one in Indiana).

Daniel McGuire, one of the petition circulators, will be in Greene County so we have 3 opportunities to sign the petition.

1. At GCDP Headquarters, 10 S. Detroit St, Xenia, OH.  Saturday, October 5, 2-3 PM

2. At the GCDP booth at the Spring Valley Potato Festival, in downtown Spring Valley, Saturday, October 5, 4:30-9 PM. We will be on Main Street in front of house #110.

3. At the GCDP Men’s Club booth at the Yellow Spring Street Fair, Saturday, October 12, 12-6 PM.

The Greene County Democratic Club provided a booth at the Yellow Springs Street Festival on June 8th which was located on private property next to Detroit Street.  We had an awning to mark our booth and placed signs, perhaps twenty, adjacent to our booth to inform and educate those passing by. It is somewhat of an understatement to say the signs were not complimentary to Trump or the policies of the Republican Party.  Many people read the signs and took pictures of those that seized their fancy. The largest and the most prominent sign was our keynote sign: We Need Responsible Government, Elect Democrats.

During the Festival we conducted a “Straw Poll” that consisted of three ballot boxes.  One was to vote for Democratic candidates for President, one for to vote for Republican candidates for President, and one to vote yay or nay to impeach Trump.  There were no rules and the names of the national candidates were not given so a vote could be cast for anyone and a vote could be cast in two or all three contests.  

Only those who do not believe in the Climate Crises will believe the outcome of our straw polls were statistically significant.  However, we will still provide our principal conclusions here so Congress and the American people can make up their own minds.

Fifty people cast their votes in the Democratic straw poll.  Warren received 30%, Biden received 18%, Buttigieg received 14%, Sanders received 14%, and Harris received 12%.  The rest of the votes were onesies and twosies. Thirty-four also cast votes for Vice President on the Democratic poll and of those, Buttigieg received 26%, Biden and Harris each received 18%, and Warren received 9%.  The remainder of the Vice Presidential votes were scattered widely among the candidates. Only two people cast their vote in the Republican straw poll; one vote for was for Weld and one vote for Amash. Forty-one people voted on the question of whether to impeach Trump.  Of those voting 78% voted to impeach, 12% a maybe, and 10% voted no. Of the maybes, there were comments such as wait for the Congressional inquiries before impeachment. On the no votes were admonitions by half the voters to “listen to Pelosi.”

Thanks for everyone who participated in the poll and the discussions.  I am going to conclude that we moved closer to responsible government and will elect Democrats in 2020
