Fact: It is not possible to read the bill in 72
hours!
Volunteers from the Cincinnati Tea Party and the
Cincinnati 9/12 Project sought to read the 2000-plus page
federal health care bill in 72 hours. They failed.
That, the group say, prove their point. “It is highly
unlikely that our elected officials could read the bill
in the time allotted,” said Ed Bell of the Cincinnati Tea
Party. Although some argue that reading out loud always
takes longer than reading silently, organizers noted they
also read the complex bill without any breaks to eat or
sleep and without cross-referencing it or researching its
implications.
Hundreds of volunteers took shifts reading the bill out
loud from 6 p.m. May 14 to 6 p.m. May 17 at the Crowne
Plaza hotel in Blue Ash.
Tax Day 2010: Freedom Rings in Cincinnati
A HUGE thank you to all those who participated and
to everyone who helped make this event happen!
Thank you for your support!
Join the Team!
Attorney General and State Assemblies of 26 states are
preparing to challenge the constitutionality of the
"Health Care Reform" legislation. Unfortunately, the
Columbus Ohio politicians are deeply beholden to their
cohorts in DC and will not sway from the defined path.
That is where YOU come in!
The Ohio Liberty Council, a statewide coalition of over
25 grassroots groups, has submitted a proposed state
constitutional amendment that will “preserve the freedom
of Ohioans to choose their health care and health care
coverage.” The amendment, drafted by the 1851 Center for
Constitutional Law, would protect Ohioans from the
financial burdens and individual mandates contained in
the new federal health care measure passed by Congress.
The group filed constitutional amendment summary language
and nearly 3,000 signatures from registered voters in 48
counties with the Ohio Secretary of State and Attorney
General.
In order to
get this amendment onto the November ballot we need to
collect over 600,000 signatures in the next 100
days. All of us need to participate in this
process! Details will be coming in the next few
days.

Fight Endgame with Parallel Events
in Cincinnati OH and Washington DC
March 20, 2010 7:30pm
Carew Tower, Downtown Cincinnati
Fifth and Vine
Thank you to the over 500 people that attended the
demonstration in Cincinnati. The line stretched around
the entire block of the Carew Tower! The candlelight
vigil on the sidewalks outside of the District Office of
Congressman Steve Dreihaus, served as a final appeal to
rescue the Constitution from intensive care.
Unfortunately our representatives decided to ignore us
and the Constitution in order to push their agenda
forward.
The march to November begins now!
We must insure that we replace these individuals with
Representatives that actually intend to "represent" their
constituents.
OHCongress - “Hands Off Our Healthcare”
March 15, 2010 6:00pm to 7:30pm
Nathaniel Greene Lodge at Veterans Park
6394 Wesselman Road, Cincinnati, OH 45248
The Cincinnati Tea Party, Cincinnati 9/12 Project and
Americans for Prosperity joined forces to sponsor a
“Hands Off Our Healthcare Rally” on Tuesday March 16 in
opposition to the health care reform bill currently in
Congress. Over 500 citizens gathered to voice their
opposition and hear speakers present compelling arguments
for killing the current health care bill and starting
fresh with free market based reforms. There were speakers
from the medical community, OH Congress, and the
sponsoring organizations.
A great summary of the event can be found at Examiner.com.
Attendees at Tuesday evening’s rally signed letters to
Congressman Steve Driehaus and the Ohio Congressional
Delegation urging a “Nay” vote on the healthcare bill.
These letters will be uploaded to the OH Congress website
and were delivered to the local offices this week. This
rally is a notice to citizens, legislators, and the media
of the overwhelming groundswell of opposition to the
health care bill.
