CALL TO ACTION!

The Chagrin Gateway Democrats are off and running into the 2022 campaign.
Next week, we’ll start going door to door with a new set of door hangers and also writing postcards to likely voters in the Chagrin Gateway area.
 
On Sunday, July 24, we’ll be setting up a voter registration station in Pepper Pike and will need help to cover at least one two-our shift.

GOP OHIO ATTORNEY GENERAL VERBALLY ATTACKS 10-YEAR OLD RAPE VICTIM

Local and national news outlets continue to discuss the outrageous comments of Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost and Governor Mike DeWine. Earlier this week, Yost suggested a 10-year-old Ohio girl—who was forced to travel to Indiana for an abortion following her rape—was likely making her story up. Yost told USA Today he believed “more likely that this is a fabrication.”
 
On Wednesday, a Columbus man confessed and was arrested and charged with two counts of rape and is held in Franklin County on a $2 million bond. 

Yost confusingly doubled back, saying “we rejoice anytime a child rapist is taken off the streets.” Odd, considering a day earlier he said the man didn’t exist.
 
This fall, Yost is being challenged by Democrat Jeff Crossman. It’s time for an attorney general who places victims first and will fight for the women of Ohio.

Why It Matters: What is the S.A.V.E Act Really Saving?

The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (S.A.V.E.) Act, which passed the House and is currently stalled in the Senate, is a bill that mandates proof of citizenship to register to vote. Does not sound like a bad thing. We only want citizens to be voting right? The problem is how people are being asked to prove citizenship.

Why It Matters: Do Protests Matter?

I spent most of Saturday morning standing in the drizzle with my husband and 1,200 of my neighbors at the STAND! While We Can! rally, waving our soggy protest signs at the drivers around Lander Circle.
