Arizona Needs Your Support!
From the Medina Tea Party Patriots --
Thanks to Amy & Jeff (Medina TPP) for the above.
Patriots, we wanted to add the following info to the above contact info....
In our coordinator call last night Scott Boston (Bowling Green Tea Party Patriots) shared the discussions he had with Tea Party leaders last weekend in AZ at the TPP Regional training meetings. The AZ Tea Party coordinators have expressed their heartfelt thanks for the support they are seeing from across the country. After recently facing a full frontal assault by President Obama and many Democrats in Congress, we must continue our support and stand by our American sisters & brothers in AZ.
When you contact Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman's office, ask them to put thier money where their mouth is.... the red light cameras in Columbus are run by an AZ company. Challenge Mayor Coleman to stand behind his own boycott and shut down the red light cameras.
Continue calling the City of Cleveland and express your outrage over their recent emergency passage of a Resolution against the AZ Immigration Bill. Within the next couple days, we will have a template for a Resolution supporting AZ that you can take to your own City Council and ask your local elected officials to support AZ.
Whenever possible please support the Buycott AZ movement with your purchases. To boycott the boycotters, please click here for a list of those boycotting AZ.
Please sign the Tea Party Patriot petition in support of AZ by clicking here. After signing the petition, share the link with everyone on your Facebook pages and email lists.

According to the Columbus Dispatch, Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman has banned work-related travel to Arizona. He wants to send a message to Arizona that the new immigration law is not the American way. Click here to read the entire article.It’s time to stand with Arizona and to voice our support for Arizona Senate Bill 1070. We ask you to contact the Mayor's office and politely, respectfully express your concerns about his recent decision to boycott Arizona.

Please contact the Arizona Governor’s office and thank her for standing up for America’s laws. Tell her that Ohio stands with Arizona in this fight to protect our country, its boarders and our citizens.

City of Cleveland Passes Resolution Opposing AZ Immigration Bill
From our friends at Grass Roots Rally Team --
CALL AND VOICE YOUR OPINION! THEY DO NOT SPEAK FOR GREATER CLEVELAND AND PROBABLY NOT FOR MANY OF THEIR OWN CLEVELAND
RESIDENTS!!!
Why was this passed as an Emergency Resolution?
On May 17, 2010, Cleveland City Council passed Emergency Resolution 675, a resolution opposing Arizona 's SB1070, supporting CIR, and affirming the contributions of all immigrants. Latino community members who were present have reported that the testimony advanced was overwhelmingly positive and empowering.

President Obama; Another one who has not read the AZ Immigration Bill
There comes a point in time where political spin turns into flat out lies and a purposeful misrepresentation of the truth....
From the Washington Times -- (Picture & emphasis added)
So instead of just slamming the country he is supposed to lead, President Obama, another one who has not read the AZ Bill, will use his bully pulpit in a hell-bent & politically feeble attempt to castigate AZ for standing up for their states rights with nothing more than amnesty-loving lies!
President Obama, what is troublesome is that, in your role as POTUS, you would willingly misrepresent the truth about a sovereign state of this nation in the presence of the leader of another country.
From the Washington Times -- (Picture & emphasis added)
President Obama on Wednesday took another shot at Arizona's new immigration law, saying even last-minute changes leave open the "possibility" of racial profiling, and urged Congress to pass an immigration legalization proposal drafted by Senate Democrats.
In a joint appearance in the Rose Garden, Mr. Obama and Mexican President Felipe Calderon offered little in the way of specific solutions to several thorny topics of discussion that ranged from the Arizona law to the violent smuggling of drugs and weapons across the border to ongoing trade disputes.
But in pointed remarks, Mr. Obama said he sympathized with Arizona's frustration over federal inaction on immigration but agreed with Mr. Calderon the state's new law could lead to discrimination. He also said Republicans are holding up efforts to reform immigration policies.
"I think a fair reading of the language of the statute indicates that it gives the possibility of individuals who are deemed suspicious of being illegal immigrants from being harassed or arrested. And the judgments that are going to be made in applying this law are troublesome," Mr. Obama told reporters.
For his part Mr. Calderon, speaking at an earlier arrival ceremony with Mr. Obama, said the law shows that Mexican migrants "face discrimination" in Arizona. More...
So instead of just slamming the country he is supposed to lead, President Obama, another one who has not read the AZ Bill, will use his bully pulpit in a hell-bent & politically feeble attempt to castigate AZ for standing up for their states rights with nothing more than amnesty-loving lies!
President Obama, what is troublesome is that, in your role as POTUS, you would willingly misrepresent the truth about a sovereign state of this nation in the presence of the leader of another country.

Help the Ohio Valley Tea Party Welcome Obama in Youngstown Visit
From the Ohio Valley Tea Party --
Barack Obama will be in Youngstown on Tuesday at V&M Star Steel according to a Business Journal article.
According to the article, he will be speaking at approximately 1:30pm. So if you are available, it would be great to give him a Tea Party welcome. Bring plenty of signs and please remember to keep them clean and civil. I have also been informed that the workers at the plant have been encouraged to stay home from work that day. (For whatever that is worth)
Please remember this is intended to be a peaceful demonstration / protest of agenda, policy and performance not the person.
“Love the sinner, hate the sin” if you will. News crews will be on hand so please be careful what you say or do.
Here is a link to a Yahoo Map to help you find the place. Hope to see you there!http://maps.yahoo.com/#mvt=m&lat=41.12637&lon=-80.679804&zoom=14&tt=V%26M%20Star&tp=1&ioride=us&q1=2669%20Martin%20Luther%20King%20Jr.%20Blvd.%20Youngstown%2C%20oh

AG Holder uses MSM to draw legal conclusions
