Nullify

April 2nd, 2010

Bad News For Betty.

The Ohio Liberty Council’s Ohio Project petition language for State Nullification of Mandatory Participation of Nationalized Health Care has been given an OK.

ONNTV.com 3-01-2010

Ohio Democratic Attorney General Richard Cordray has given the green light to a tea party ballot effort that will attempt to nullify the new health care law in the state.

Cordray, who earlier this week announced the state would not join 13 others in suing the federal government over the health care law, said his role in this decision is different.

“It’s not a matter of whether I agree or disagree, it’s not a matter of what I think of federal Constitutional law. It’s a matter of is this a fair and accurate summary and I didn’t want exceed my role,” he said.

A coalition of health care and anti-poverty advocates had urged Cordray to reject the ballot effort.

“They wanted me to block this, but I don’t have the authority under the law to do that,” Cordray said. “I’m not going to exceed my authority.  I am the Chief Law Enforcement Officer of the state and I need to set an example.  Whatever I may think, and whatever may be the outcome of the law, my role here was to certify as truthful and accurate and I believe it is a fair and accurate summary.”

The Liberty Council still needs your help to collect the required  400,000 valid signatures needed to get this on the November ballot.  You can help by visiting their TheOhioProject website.

More Letters

hear our voice sutton

Listen Up Sutton.

From Mike:

This is a message I sent to Betty Sutton on Friday, March 19, 2010, as the country was watching to see what the Dems were going to do next to jam the ObamaCare bill down the throats of Americans. I was still holding out hope that Nancy Pelosi did not have enough votes to pass the bill, and I was actually hoping that our own Betty Sutton would come to her senses.  As we know, she did vote in favor of the bill, and so she should be fired in November 2010:

I understand that you recently announced that you intend to vote “yes” for this health care bill. I believe it is just the first step towards socialized medicine, and many Americans (including me) are totally against it. In case I am not perfectly clear, WE DO NOT WANT SOCIALIZED MEDICINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First, many Americans (including me) know that it just does not make sense to damage or destroy what 80-90% or so of the people are satisfied with to cover the roughly 10-20% or so that need coverage (excluding illegal aliens). The President clearly promised on many occasions, “If you like what you have, you can keep it.” We, however, know that this will prove to be untrue, especially given the very discriminatory “Cadillac plan tax”, which will most definitely serve to reduce health benefits for many Americans, especially non-union Americans like me.

Second, many Americans including me are totally appalled at the way the Democrats are trying to get this healthcare bill done. Are you folks kidding? Do you really think the American people will look the other way on this “deemed passed” gimmick? Such a large bill that would dramatically affect the lives of all Americans deserves a straight up or down vote. The Democrats have shown a willingness to do whatever it takes to get this bill passed, and in the process have shown no regard for the will of the people or the Constitution. I love my God, my family, my country, and the Constitution. The Socialist Party (formerly known as the Democrat Party), is treating our Constitution as a doormat. This is despicable to me and any other American that loves this great country and that understands the importance of protecting and abiding by the Constitution.

The President clearly promised on many occasions that he would usher in a “new era of transparency”, and he even promised to televise the debates with special interests on CSPAN. With the many backroom deals cut to buy support and/or votes in this process, including a ride on Air Force one where little boy Dennis Kucinich got to ride on Barack Obama’s lap as they flew over Ohio, this process has been anything but transparent. What an absolute travesty. Our Founding Fathers would turn over in their graves if they knew this type of thing was happening in our great country.

I strongly recommend that you vote “no” to socialized medicine and help to kill the healthcare bill so we can start over with a bipartisan solution in which both parties can provide input and which can actually work to meet the objectives of making quality healthcare available and affordable for all Americans.

If you continue to follow Barack Obama’s left-wing socialist agenda and continue to ignore the will of your constituents and the American people, I will do everything in my power to see that your opponent candidate wins the election this fall in November 2010. I am not sure where your challenger will arise from, whether a true conservative from the Tea Party movement or a Republican, but I do know that the representative from the Socialist Party (I believe that would be you) will not stand a chance. Unless I read over the next few days that you have come to your senses and changed your vote to “no”, I will wish you well in your early retirement.

Personal Protest

March 30th, 2010

betty sutton

Congresswoman Betty Sutton, can you hear us now?

Last week we highlighted a sign campaign led by one man against Betty Sutton.  This week, we are excited to present yet another example of constituent outrage.  VoteNoBettySutton.com, much like our website, was born from the frustration of not being heard by a representative who has forgotten what it means to represent the people.

I didn’t want to create this web site. I voted for Betty Sutton and voiced my support in various ways for her over the years, influencing many of my friends, family and neighbors to support her with their votes. I believed she was the right person to represent the people of Ohio’s 13th Congressional district. She ran for office on a pro-jobs, pro-Ohio, pro-people platform and I put all of my faith in her abilities.

Unfortunately, I don’t believe Betty Sutton has lived up to her promise to represent the working people of the 13th District. By supporting the fiscally unsound, anti-jobs, anti-working American policies of the present House and Senate Democrat leadership and President Obama, she’s shown complete disregard for the welfare of the people who sent her to Washington two years ago. She’s traded the interests of the people for the interests of her party. – http://votenobettysutton.com

Tell us about your personal campaign.

Misadventure

March 29th, 2010

“If you want to know what liberals are up to, pay attention to what they accuse the conservatives of.” – Quinn’s Laws

Betty Sutton Failure

Betty Sutton Begs for Cash

Thanks to a reader, we received a copy of Sutton’s recent campaign plea for financial help.  You’ve got to love the opening paragraph (more to come).

“The last election was about hope and change. We worked to elect leaders who would help to fix the economic mess, provide health care for everyone and put our country back on the right track. We won in November but we’ve been faced with obstruction by the Republicans at each turn. It’s been hard to deliver on the change we promised”

Well Betty, as long as you brought it up, we did ask for a solution to the economic mess.  I was just wondering when you were actually going to take care of that? And what about your plan to provide health care to everyone?  Correct me if I am wrong, but you didn’t exactly accomplish that either.

The word failure comes to mind, but you probably feel that way too.  That would explain why you’re blaming the republicans for your inadequacies as a legislator.   If only your party had majority control… wait, never mind.

Read the Signs

March 25th, 2010

Dear Betty, We made you some signs. If you want one for your yard, just let us know.

Had enough of Sutton? You are not alone.

One resident from the north end of OH-13 is ready to give Betty the boot.  He recently started a personal sign campaign to oust the Congresswoman.  With the May primaries looming ever closer, you can expect to see more projects like this in the weeks ahead.

What are you doing to move Betty Sutton to the unemployment line?

Not For Some

March 24th, 2010

Reform For You, Not For Me.

Reform for you, not for some.

Dear Congresswoman Betty Sutton,

The health care reform bill you helped to move into law requires members of Congress and their office staffs to buy insurance through the state-run exchanges it creates – but we are learning that it may exempt senior staff members in the leadership offices and on congressional committees, essentially exempting those senior Democrat staffers who wrote the bill from being forced to fully participate in the same way as other Americans

How is this possible?

Ms Sutton, why would anyone deeply involved in the process of writing this historic Health Reform bill be motivated to exclude themselves?

During your one and only public forum on Health Reform, the  Tele-Town Hall, you told us that you were a lawyer and that you read and understood the entire bill.  If true, then you must have known about this absurd loophole found on page 158. Why did you allow something so outrageous to go unchallenged before you voted to make it law?

What other loopholes did you miss as you carefully examined the entire bill?
