A Friendly Reminder

This blog was originally conceived with the intention of discussing politics in Ohio's 15th congressional district.  I do, however, discuss other topics that pertain to central Ohio and the nation.

I do want to remind you of a simple fact: 

Republican Rep. Steve Stivers (OH-15th) voted for the Paul Ryan budget plan, which privatizes Medicare.  

If re-elected, Stivers and his Republican buddies will work even harder to reach their goal of privatizing Medicare.  (During the 2010 campaign, Steve Stivers refused to sign the pledge to protect Social Security.  See ProgressOhio.)  If you need to know which members of the House voted for the Ryan budget, which includes killing Medicare, here is an article and graphic from the NY Times:
