Tell the Senate to Honor Ruth Bader Ginsberg’s legacy

Request that RBG’s Supreme Court vacancy not be filled until after we have a new president.       Below is a quote from Mitch McConnell when he prevented President Obama from filling a Supreme Court Justice seat.  Below the quote are phone numbers, fax numbers and email locations for you to take action if you wish.  A simple call repeating McConnell’s statement and a request that the Supreme Court vacancy not be filled until after the new president takes office is sufficient.  Thank you for your activism.
February 13, 2016: “The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice,” McConnell said in a statement released after Scalia’s death. “Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.” The next election was in November and the new president would not take office until Jan 21, 2017.

Press Release – Householder Bribery Case

Due to the extent and degree to which Ohio House of Representatives Speaker Householder (Republican) is accused of violating the public trust, the Greene County Democratic Party calls on Speaker Householder to resign. The former Chair of the Ohio Republican Party and at least 8 other Republican Representatives were identified in the affidavit and as such, we call on the Ohio Republican Party to condemn this corruption.  We also call on the Ohio Republican Party to work transparently with the FBI to complete the investigation as expeditiously as possible and request all others involved to resign.  A few details follow. In the criminal complaint with the affidavit sworn to by Blane J. Wetzel, Special Agent, Federal Bureau of Investigation, against Speaker Householder notes a conspiracy to conduct racketeering activities consisting of multiple acts of involving bribery, money laundering, and other indictable crimes.  Within the affidavit, the goals of the conspiracy include bribes to further Householder’s political power in the state, to benefit others involved with, to conceal and protect activities from becoming known, and to prevent possible criminal prosecution.  (A link to the affidavit will be placed on GCDP.org as well as the Greene County (Ohio) Democratic Party FaceBook page.)

Bullets were fired into the Greene County Democratic Party (GCDP) Headquarters in the overnight hours of May 29th to May 30th.  Five bullet holes were discovered on the premises.  This incident was reported to the Xenia Police Department and the FBI.  Investigations are in progress. 

GCDP Headquarters is located at 10 S. Detroit Street in Xenia.  This is a main intersection in the city near the Greene County Courthouse, the Xenia Police Department and a bicycle path.  This event was preceded by another incident on April 11, 2020 when a window at GCDP Headquarters was shattered by a concrete object. 

            These incidents were cowardly acts perpetrated by people who do not represent who we are in Greene County.  The persons who performed these acts of vandalism, violence and terrorism pose dangers to the safety of our citizens.  Intimidations made against a political party are a threat to our democracy and the rule of law.  The GCDP calls on all good people, and especially our elected officials, to condemn these assaults on our community.  We will defend democracy and the freedom to vote.

OHIO HOUSE REP. BILL DEAN PROMOTES CONSPIRACY THEORY– BLAMES DEMOCRATS FOR OHIO’S RESPONSE TO COVID19 PANDEMIC- GREENE COUNTY DEMOCRATS DEMAND APOLOGY!

On May 1, 2020, Greene County’s Legislative Breakfast was held by videoconference and hosted by the Beavercreek Chamber of Commerce.  Elected officials from federal, state and local governments, as well as representatives from other area Chambers of Commerce, attended this important event.  The focus of the meeting was on economic activity during the COVID19 pandemic.  The discussion centered on the efforts to balance public health considerations with financial recovery for businesses and individuals.  Speakers included elected officials or their staffers.  In attendance were Senators Sherrod Brown and Rob Portman, Representative Mike Turner, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose, Ohio State Senator Bob Hacket, Ohio Representatives Rick Perales and Bill Dean, and, Greene County Commissioner Dick Gould.  

All of the speakers, with the notable exception of Rep. Bill Dean from Ohio House District 74, delivered informative statements on how economic damage due to the pandemic might be mitigated, and how to safely manage the re-opening of businesses.  They praised healthcare providers and essential workers.  They commended Ohio citizens in their efforts to keep themselves and others safe by wearing protective equipment and by maintaining social distance.  They discussed the need to balance safety with the economy.  But Mr. Dean used his time at the conference to say:

“My take is different on all this stuff.  This is all perpetrated by the Democrats to get Trump out of office and some of the Republicans also.  And it’s just a farce and it’s just all BS.  We need to eliminate all the rules and let the private sector do what they do best and get back to work and it’s been perpetrated by a bunch of snowflakes that are running our country.  That’s all I got to say.”

The Greene County Democratic Party calls on Rep. Dean to retract his divisive words and apologize for promoting an unfounded conspiracy theory.  The Democratic Party did not manufacture the COVID19 pandemic nor did it orchestrate the public health response which curtailed economic activity for the sake of minimizing morbidity and mortality.  The Coronavirus has affected the health and financial well being of both Republicans and Democrats.  At this uncertain and trying time, we need leaders who can bring Ohio together and make efficacious plans for the future.
