Special Guest: ⁠Bernie Moreno, US Senate Candidate

Issue 2 - “Commercialize, Regulate, Legalize, and Tax the Adult Use of Cannabis” 

• Actual text of the resolution is 51 pages long!!!

• And very, very difficult to find online

• While much is said about “cannabis” the bulk of the language deals with “Social Equity and Jobs Program” - a new effort under the Ohio Department of Development

• The actual text contains the word “equity” over twice as many times as the word “license”.

• Section 2:  “provide funding and social equity opportunities in the state”

• Section 3:  “Prescribing standards and procedures in coordination with the department of development to administer and enforce the cannabis social equity and jobs program”

• The Department of Development - “Creating a better life for all Ohioans”

• Already sounds like an “equity” focused organization

• New “Social Equity and Jobs Program”

• Funded by legalizing and licensing cannabis

• Easily expanded to every area of commerce, business and government activity

• Also includes language that forces cannabis into poor and impoverished neighborhoods

• Anyone previously convicted of selling weed, can get Ohio funding to get back into the business!

• Aside from the obvious issues with widespread use of marijuana, the focus on creating a whole new “equity” program has nothing to do with the legalization effort.

Special Guest: Bernie Moreno, US Senate Candidate

Welcome - Bernie Moreno

• Successful Businessman - car dealership, blockchain tech

• US Senate candidate

Vote NOvember Campaign

• Ballot Initiatives, New Taxes - Just Vote NO

• Ballot initiatives are a horrible way to “make law”

• Circumventing the legislature, means no checks and balances

• Outside state resources can buy the voters easier than the legislatures

Issue 1 - “Amendment Relating to Abortion and Other Reproductive Decisions”

• Check out https://seethelanguage.com/

• Takes all-inclusive, vague language to a whole new level - none of the key terms are defined:

• “Individual” - No age, sex, condition – just “Every individual”

• “Reproductive decisions” - “including but not limited to decisions on contraception, fertility treatment, continuing one’s own pregnancy, miscarriage care, and abortion”

• Means definition can be expanded to anything involving “Reproduction”

• “Patients life or health” - Any limitation can be overridden for “health” but no definition of “health is given”

• Means exception can be physical, mental, financial, basically anything that can be construed as effecting the individual.

• Most disturbing aspects:

• Ohio will join North Korea and China as one of the few places on earth where you can legally kill a baby up to the moment of birth.

• Permits anyone to encourage children to have abortions or gender surgeries

• Prohibits anyone, including parents, from discouraging these procedures

George Brunemann talks with 55KRC host Brian Thomas about the Ohio Republican State Central Committee.

• Friday’s meeting was an embarrassing display of dysfunction
  It’s a long video but 1:03 is the “Financial Reports”, 1:18 is the recommendation to endorse
• Voted 36-26 to endorse the slate of “statewide incumbents”
• The adjectives that come to mine – pompous, self-important, grand standing, total disdain for voters
• We need fresh blood that actually represents the voters to the party, not mandating the party wants onto the voters.

• Why are these roles important?
  PEs are the basic infrastructure for the ground game of the party
  SCC members set statewide direction
  Currently the focus is on the party, not the voter
  No focus on messaging or principles
• How do you win the election?
• How do you defeat the incumbents especially if the SCC funds their own members!?

• Ground game
• Social media
• Mailers
• Fundraising

• The Ohio Redistricting Commission members now have until noon on Feb. 23 to tell the court why they shouldn’t be held in contempt.
• 2020 Census and Election Results determine map guidelines
• Conflict between “democracy”
  Trump 53.3%, Biden 45.3% therefore, Dem’s deserve 45.3% of all election categories
• and Republic
  Trump won 81 counties, Biden won 7 therefore Dem’s deserve only 8% of election categories
• No way to give Dem’s 45.3% without enormous gerrymandering
• This is all thanks to constitution change agreed to by voters in 2015. Clearly no one thought through the changes.

• Wanted to present a more active voice for conservative principles
• Impact of the lollygagging on redistricting
• Power of incumbents
• What does it take to get true voter responsibility as opposed to the power of lobbyists?

• The protest against Canada’s vaccine mandate has led Canada to flip the switch to total government tyranny.
• No reports of violence, fires, riots… Bouncy houses, prayer circles,..\
• BLM cost over $2B in damages, Trudeau joined the protestors
• But the truckers are illegal protesters and terrorists!
• Canada’s Minister of Finance, Chrystia Freeland

• For the crime of supporting an anti-vaccine organization, you lose access to your savings!

• Accounting Issues
  $1.7 being written off without explanation
  ORPAccountability.com – Mark Bainbridge, Laura Rosenberger
  EmpowerU will be doing a class this Wednesday, "Is the Ohio Republican Party Corrupt?"
• Funneling money to primary candidates – establishment incumbents and SCC members

• State Central Committees have many conservative options
  Senate 8 has 2 men and 6 women running
  Senate 9 has 4 men but only 1 women running
• County Central Committee (Precinct Exec)
  No formal list yet
  We need solid liberty representatives to have any effect on the local party

• Currently too many candidates to defeat DeWine
  Renacci, Blystone, Keller
• District 29 will have a candidate, Angela Hymer, against Cindy Abrams
• Must get some traction to wrestle control back to the voter from the donor/lobbyist groups

•  Still not finalized!
  Fed Congressional District were due by 30Sep2021, State office lines due by 01Sep2021
  First revision came 20Nov2021, overruled by OH Supreme Court 12Jan2022
  Next try competed 22Jan2022, again before the OH SC

• Curt – running against Joe Murray and Lindsay Cole
• Current maps tilt district Democrat
• What are your key objectives in Ohio House?
• How do we advance true conservative principles?
• Is there any way to break the DeWine grip on mandates?

• December GOP meeting attempted to endorse DeWine and adjourned meeting because of public attendees disrupting the meeting.
  More discussion of the GOP State Central Committee in Segment 3
• Clermont County endorses Renaci
• Local establishment Republicans came out for DeWine
  Here is the letter that went out today to those endorsing democrat dictator DeWine

Guest: Curt Hartman

Segment 1: Freedom Still Matters
Segment 2: Ohio Primary
Segment 3: Cleaning Up Ohio

• County and State Central Committees
  Why does it matter?
  County – local endorsements
  State – big dollars to endorsed candidates, huge bias to incumbents, tend to sway primaries
• Petition Process
  5 valid signatures, 15 max – from your precinct, your party
  Forms from Ohio SOS, voter list from BOE, Deliver to county to BOE
• Winning Strategy – These are your neighbors, just talk to them!
• What comes next…
• Details will be on the https://RestoreLiberty.US front page shortly!

• National
  Economic
  7% inflation (6%increase, highest in 40+years)
  $2T debt increase, 2021 spent $6.8T ($21k per citizen), trillions more in passed legislation
  $3.3T the last time the Bengals won playoff!
  Foreign Policy
  Afghanistan handed back to Taliban, 13 killed was more than previous 24 months combined
  Iran near nuclear weapon, threatens Israel (again) and retaliate against Trump/Pompeo
  COVID – mandates, sanctions, threats, intimidation, endless boosters and masks...
• Ohio
  Dictator DeWine continued his assault on small business, personal liberty and education
  No regrets on pandemic response!
  Ohio GOP turns blind ear to voters, listens only to party first officials and donors/lobbyists
  Corruption – HB6/First Energy hits GOP “Leaders” but DeWine escapes so far
  HB248 – Anti Vaccine bill crushed by GOP in response to donors/lobbyists
• Good News???
