The regional sales manager at IBM is throwing this fundraiser:

Steve Stivers for Congress Fundraiser

Starts: Thursday April 22, 2010
Ends: Thursday April 22
Event Type: Fundraiser
Region: Columbus, Ohio Area
Location: The Country Club at Muirfield Village
Dublin, OH 43017 US



If you act like a lobbyist, talk like a bank lobbyist, then you must still be a bank lobbyist. By the way, the country club mentioned in the invitation is a private, exclusive club--- not for regular people.

As the UAProgressiveaction stated:

....Steve Stivers: for 391% interest rates before he was against them

Interestingly, Ohio State Senator Steve Stivers, former bank lobbyist and Republican running against Mary Jo Kilroy for Congress, was for 391% interest rates before he was against them. Only a few months ago, Stivers was repeating payday lending industry talking points.


> Here is what, John Adams, a conservative Republican candidate for Ohio's 15th district said about Steve Stivers:

...Mr. Stivers has been funded tens of thousands of dollars by dozens of bankers and many Big Bank Political Action Committees. That is transparent factual information documented on the Federal Election Commission web site. Check it out....


> Warning! Warning! Warning!

Bring the children and pets inside and lock the doors: Karl Rove will be in Columbus on April 20th,
1:30pm at the Barnes and Noble Polaris location, according to a recent NBC4's Facebook post. He is on his book tour.

While doing a book signing in California at the end of March, Rove was NOT warmly welcomed. CommonDreams:

Former White House Chief of Staff Karl Rove was heckled and branded a 'war criminal' at a book signing in Beverly Hills, California, Monday night.....

....But the audience members were unable to get their copies of the book signed after Rove was shouted down and forced to leave the stage, reported CNN affiliate KCAL-TV.

The event was heated from the onset as several anti-war protesters interrupted Rove's talk to accuse him and his administration of lying to Americans about the threat Iraq posed to the United States - and thus, taking the country into war.....
