WANTED!!! PRECINCT LEADERS AND COUNTY COORDINATORS 

The 7th Congressional District includes the following counties: Clark, Greene, Fayette, Pickaway, Ross, Franklin, Fairfield and Perry. It includes urban, suburban and rural parts of Ohio stretching from east of Dayton, south of Columbus to Perry County.  Census Data for the 7th Congressional District can be found here.

Representing the 7th district, Steve Austria (R) Beavercreek, was recently elected to a 1st term in the U.S. House of Representatives.  Mr. Austria has "recently" sworn off earmarks.  I highly recommend everyone pick up a copy of Lt. Col. (Ret.) John "Mitch" Mitchel's book "America Into The Abyss, A View From The Heartland," in which Mitch exposes the local "pay to play" politics which has become the norm in today's political class."  Representative Austria recently announced he has been appointed by Minority Leader John Boehner to the House Homeland Security and Budget Committees.  You can track Rep. Austria actions in Washington at open congress.  Congressman Austria's Portal can be found here:  http://austria.house.gov/index.html.  As a representative of the people, and having sworn an oath to the constitution, Mr. Austria should answer publicly to the accusations put forth by Lt. Col. Mitchel.  As serious as they are, and with the evidence put forth so far, he is effectively admitting to hiding something and therefore cannot be trusted.  Rep. Austria should co-sponsor The Liberty Amendment which would "give full force and effect to the Constitution of the United States; to restore freedom and lost liberties to all Americans; and to restore sovereignty to the United States of America, the States and the body of the People."

Senator George Voinovich (R) will not be seeking a 3rd term in the U.S. Senate.  The Senator is a classic example of "neo-conservatism" with a voting record to show for it.  Like most neo-cons,  the Senator, like other elected officials, don't seem to legislate within the principles of The United States Constitution.  The Senator can be contacted here:  http://voinovich.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=Contact.ContactForm.  I am hopeful in the near future a possible replacement candidate who is truly a "Statesman" much like the founders of our wonderful Republic will step forward and restore sanity by supporting The Liberty Amendment which would "will renew personal freedom - the ability of individuals to exercise their God-given rights with a minimum of dependence on, and interference from, the Federal Government. It will restore to ourselves and to future generations the advantages which we inherited from our forefathers - advantages which made us the most fortunate people on earth."

Senator Sherrod Brown (D) is a junior Senator and assumed office January 3, 2007 after defeating Mike DeWine with 56% of the vote.  Born in Mansfield, Senator Brown served as state representative 1974-1982.  In 1982, Mr. Brown served as Ohio Secretary of State up until being defeated in 1990 by Bob Taft (R).  Please keep tabs on his congressional record.  Senator Brown can reached here: http://brown.senate.gov/contact/.  Senator Brown has a disasterous record when it comes to legislating under the guidelines set forth by our constitution.  He scored a lousy 11 on the JBS Freedom Index which I highly encourage everyone to look at to see how their representatives "adhere to constitutional principles of limited government, fiscal responsibility, national sovereignty, and a traditional foreign policy of avoiding foreign entanglements."  Senator Brown must go.

The Ohio House of Representatives is the lower house of the Ohio General Assembly, the state legislature of the U.S. state of Ohio. (The other house of the bicameral legislature is the Ohio Senate).  The House of Representatives first met in Chillicothe on March 3, 1803, under the later superseded state constitution of that year. The 128th General Assembly convened in January 2009.  Members are limited to four consecutive two-year elected terms. (Terms are considered consecutive if they are separated by less than two years.) Time served by appointment to fill out another representative's uncompleted term does not count against the term limit. There are 99 members of the house, elected from single-member districts. Every even-numbered year, all the seats are up for re-election. 

The Ohio Senate is the upper house in Ohio's bicameral legislature, the Ohio General Assembly; the lower house is the Ohio House of Representatives. Both were established in the state constitution of 1851. The 128th General Assembly convened in January 2009.  Members of the Ohio Senate are limited to two consecutive four-year elected terms. Service to fill out another member's uncompleted term does not count against the term limits. There are 33 members elected from individual districts. The current party distribution is 21 Republicans and 12 Democrats. Each Senator represents approximately 330,000 constituents. Each Senate district corresponds exactly to 3 of the 99 State House districts.

 County Government Portals:  

Greene County   http://www.co.greene.oh.us/     

The Greene County flag is green. Red, white and blue stripes cross the middle behind a picture of the Greene County courthouse clock tower. The Wright Brothers' flyer reminds us that Orville and Wilbur Wright came from Greene County. Twenty-two stars encircle the center image. The flag was designed by Deanna Gullet of Xenia, and was adopted in December 2002. The county was named for Gen. Nathaniel Greene, Washington's second in command in the Revolutionary War, and was established in 1803.       

Clark County  http://www.clarkcountyohio.gov/

The circle in the center of this marigold colored flag is the seal of Clark County. It shows Brigadier General George Rogers Clark, who the county was named after. He defeated the Shawnee Indians near Springfield in 1780, and is shown standing on the bank of the Mad River. Clark County was established in 1818, and was the home of A.B. Graham, the founder of 4-H. The county flag is used at all county institutions, although some have a color seal and others do not.

Fayette County  www.fayette-co-oh.com/ 

This red pennant centers on a blue circle with a map of Fayette County. A gold star marks Washington Courthouse, the county seat. Ten stars and the names of the ten townships make a green ring around the map. The county was named for the Marquis de Lafayette, an honorary American citizen and a Major General in the Revolutionary War.

Pickaway County  http://www.pickaway.org/

The Pickaway County flag was designed by senior citizen Jim Sargent in February 2002 as part of the Bicentennial Celebration. It is the result of a contest open to all residents of the county. Sargent chose the colors gold, orange and green to represent the fall season which is important because of the Circleville Pumpkin Show. A gold circle refers to the name of the county seat, Circleville. The county appears as an orange shape on the white outline of the State of Ohio. Fifteen townships are marked on the county map. The pumpkin reminds us again of the annual Pumpkin Show. Sargent chose the rectangular shape with green and white stripes to make a good background for the gold circle. Pickaway County was established in 1810. The name is a variation of the Piqua tribe of Native Americans.

Ross County  http://www.co.ross.oh.us/   

In response to the request from the Ohio Bicentennial Commission, all Ross County schools were invited to participate in "Leave a Legacy: Design a Ross County Flag." In 2002, entries from each district were judged by a panel of Commissioners and educators. The winning entry was a team effort by 150 fourth grade students of art teacher Sharon Eley at Unioto Elementary School. Graphic designer, John Catlett created the final version of the Ross County Flag. The flag was adopted by the Ross County Commissioners on December 27, 2005. Symbols on the flag represent Tecumseh (the arrow), Adena and the Great Seal of Ohio (hills and sun), Chillicothe as the first capital of Ohio (statehouse), mule and canal boat (Erie Canal route), and the star for WWI veterans. The fourth grade children wanted the WWI soldiers represented, because many of their grandfathers and great-grandfathers served in that war. The outline of the county is also imaged on the flag. Ross County was established in 1798. Territorial Governor Arthur St. Clair named the county after his friend, James Ross, a U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania.

Franklin County  http://www.franklincountyohio.gov/fc/

This flag was adopted by Franklin County on April 30, 1987. This red, white and blue flag is reminiscent of the French Flag, and also of the flag of the City of Columbus, which is the county seat. The seal of Franklin County is printed blue on white in the middle. The picture and the motto are the same as those used by the State of Ohio, and remind us that state government is centered in Columbus, Ohio. Franklin County was established in 1803 with the birth of the state. Both celebrated their bicentennials in 2003. The county was named after founding father, Benjamin Franklin.

Fairfield County    http://www.co.fairfield.oh.us/

As part of the preparations for Ohio's Bicentennial, Fairfield Countycommissioners solicited flag designs from county residents and students. In 2002, a committee decided to make a composite from designs submitted by Berne Union High School student Ambrianna Robinson, local artist Cheryl Fey and Norman Swartz. The committee chose a burgee rather than a standard shape to match Ohio's state flag. The images on the flag represent industries and landmarks which are associated with Fairfield County: the cornstalks for agriculture, the dinnerware for Anchor Hocking glass, the oil derrick for one of the county's earliest industries, and the covered bridge to symbolize the county's rich covered bridge heritage and commitment to restoration of these structures. The sunburst inside an outline of Fairfield County represents the county's bright future.The committee was somewhat divided on the inclusion of the oil derrick, and animated discussions centered around whether the public, particularly those not from Fairfield County, would mistake the derrick fro a cellular tower. The shed at the bottom right of the derrick was added in an attempt to clarify the image as an oil derrick. This county was named by Arthur St. Clair, Governor of the Northwest Territory, because of its beautiful fields.

Perry County   http://www.perrycountyohiocofc.com/index.htm

This flag shows three red stylized stripes and a blue field in the shape of Perry County. A star marks a site on the map. 52 yellow lines radiate from the bottom center. Perry County is the 52nd county in Ohio. Four images represent things that are important to the area. Perry County was established in 1818. It was named for Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry who defeated the British on Lake Erie in 1813

The Liberty Amendment   Posted by amyers68 on 07/20/09 Why isn't this being considered as a top priority with C4L?  It seems this would be something we should be all over providing a "constitutional convention" is removed as an option. "Individual liberty, freedom and sovereignty of the people will be restored in a representative republican form of government by clarifying the original spirit and intent of the Constitution. The Liberty Amendment will give back to the Constitution its full force and effect in limiting the powers and activities of the Federal Government and restoring those powers reserved to the States and to the people. The Liberty Amendment, proposed, could become the 28th Amendment to the Constitution." http://www.libertyamendment.com/   Categories: US Constitution Tags: amendment

The Citizens Rule Book-A Great Resource   Posted by amyers68 on 06/21/09 http://www.apfn.org/pdf/citizen.pdf Citizens Rule Book is a handbook written to educate American citizens regarding their rights and responsibilities. It is a compilation of quotes from founders of the United States of America and select government documents, including information on the rights of a jury to "nullify bad law" and acquit people on trial.[1] The author of the Rule Book says that jurors have the right to nullify a trial if the law is unconstitutional or is being used in an unconstitutional manner. Originally published anonymously, the Citizens Rule Book is now known to have been written by Charles R. Olsen, a World War II Marine veteran and printer from Boston.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_Rule_Book     Categories: Education, Civil Liberties, Law, US Constitution, History Tags: Jury duty

HCR 11 Committee Hearing Update   Posted by amyers68 on 05/14/09 On Wednesday, May 13, 2009, the State Government Committee of the Ohio House of Representatives held a hearing on HCR 11, the State Sovereignty Resolution, introduced by Jarrod Martin (R-70) and co-sponsored by Kris Jordan (R-2).  The hearing was limited to sponsor testimony, followed by committee member questioning. Representative Martin started the testimony by talking about the history of the state sovereignty movement, and its beginnings not being in 2009 with the Obama and Democrat-controlled federal government, but with previous administrations, as well.  He explained some of the ways the federal government has overstepped its Constitutional bounds:  No Child Left Behind Act, REAL ID, budget deficits, etc.  He also explained that his resolution contained no secession languages, as some other states' have, that it only reminded the federal government to operate within its Constitutional authority.  This resolution is not a Republicans versus Democrats resolution, but an American resolution! **You can read the rest here:  http://sovereign.ohiofreedom.com/wordpress/2009/05/14/ohios-hcr-11-state-government-committee-hearing/ Categories: Action Item, US Constitution, State Legislation Tags: Ohio, sovereignty, amendment, Tenth, HCR11
