Past Events
September 19, 2007
Clermont County Prosecutor Don White addressed the Central Committee regarding the death of Cecilia Slaby.
He, Woody Breyer, and Senator Tom Niehaus fielded a number of questions from the crowd.
It appeared to me that most of the audience agreed with, or least understood, the logic behind Mr. White's decision not to prosecute Brenda Nesselroad-Slaby.
And just for the record, I agree with and support his decision.

Family First PAC held a Fundraising Dinner Crown Plaza Hotel in Blue Ash.

September 5, 2007
ORP Deputy Chairman, Kevin DeWine, was the keynote speaker at the Anderson Twp Republican Club (Hamilton County) meeting.
I was very impressed by how Kevin was animated, motivational, and delivered a simple message: Register to vote, Recruit good candidates, Contribute financially, and Volunteer two hours per election cycle to a candidate.
Kevin fielded a number a tough questions from the crowd and answered them to their satisfaction.
Afterward, Brian Clayton gave a presentation of his book, "Suppressed History, Political Correctness and other Orthodoxies."
