There are SO MANY reasons why Nan Whaley would make a better Governor than Dewine.

One of them is that we don’t need someone from the 1% controlling things, because the rich support the rich. Just look at the billions of dollars of tax breaks Dewine and the Ohio GOP have given them! While we the middle (for now) and working class carry the bulk of the burden.

Seen your property taxes lately? They’ve been escalating BECAUSE of the tax cuts for the rich. The money has to come from somewhere.. And we are being unfairly burdened so the rich can have a second vacation home in Aspen.

The choice is simple. Whaley for Governor.

I invite our Greene County elected officials to make their OWN statement on this direct assault on half of their constituents.

Considering 90% of our elected officials are Republicans, their responses will be even more highly considered than Mayor Mims, who is a Democrat. I would love to see some courage be shown on this issue.

Who is going to stand up against this far-right, religious attack on our very rights? Where are these patriots now that women’s rights are being violated?

Will it be the County Commissioners? Or someone from your city board? Perhaps the Sheriff? Or the Prosecutor? Someone on your school board? What about Mike Turner? If they are pleased for this ruling, let’s hear that from them as well. I encourage you to ask them. Call, email, stand outside their office with a sign.

The January 6th hearings are now LIVE!

Know that the selector of our elected officials, the Greene County Republican Party, probably won’t be promoting this.

Instead, they have t-shirts in their window that read “Trump was Right About Everything” and have public showings of “documentaries” that prove Trump won. Still. Yes, still.

It’s just embarrassing for our county at this point. Find out the truth about that day by tuning in. We cannot let these #traitors get away with this.

Thank you to all who joined us!
