Dispatch:
The coalition leading the effort to repeal Senate Bill 5 delivered a record of nearly 1.3 million signatures to the secretary of state today to place Ohio's new collective bargaining law on the November ballot.
A parade of more than 6,000, led by a banner proclaiming the "million signature march," rumbled through Downtown this morning.
We Are Ohio, the group leading the referendum effort, organized the march up Broad Street to Fourth Street, where a 48 ft. semi-truck carrying the 1,298,301 signatures in 1,502 boxes collected will be unloaded. The parade also included retired fire trucks, a drum line, bagpipes and loud motorcycles. It took about 15 minutes to pass.....
We see evidence that the people of Ohio are sick of the antics of the Kasich administration and the Ohio Republicans who think he is their god. While Kasich and the Ohio GOP hammer away at the rights of the working people in Ohio, citizens are demonstrating their disgust with the Republican agenda.
Soon, the buzzards and corporate money in the form of the Koch Brothers' astroturf group will descend on our state and tell us that we need SB 5. Face it. We don't need SB 5, Kasich, the Republicans, and the Koch Brothers and their corporate money. Ohioans don't want these attacks on working people to continue, money taken from public schools, or tax breaks given to Kasich's buddies. We've had enough!

Have I told you lately? Republican Reps. Steve Stivers and Pat Tiberi voted for the Paul Ryan budget which destroys Medicare.

President Obama's press conference today noted that while he has been willing to talk about the budget, the House of Representatives is on vacation and won't return until July 7th. Like spoiled little rich kids, the Republicans are refusing to give up tax breaks for oil companies and millionaires. Let your member of Congress know that you won't have your grandmother's Medicare cut so that oil companies and wealthy fat cats can get their taxes cut.
Save Grandma's Medicare!
Raise taxes on Millionaires
& Oil Companies!
