The Greek House meeting review, Udovic - Shannon - Bauman - Lisy - Fiebig

The Greek House Review
I want to thank everyone who attended the meeting at the Greek House in Wickliffe this past Monday February 20.  It was an informative meeting with a lot of back and forth with the speakers. 

Joe Udovic opened the meeting with prayer for unity within our group and our country followed by the Pledge of Allegiance that was started by Jimmy Kelly.

The first order of business was introducing Jimmy Kelly Presidential candidate for 2036.   That made everyone chuckle and applaud him.  But I really do feel he has a future either in politics or public speaking, at 14 he is more than knowledgeable on the issues.

The first speaker of the night was Joe Udovic who spoke on a letter he received at his house. It involved the EPA and the wastewater treatment plant.
Euclid is asking residents to pay an additional 10 dollars per month on a quarterly basis for sewer charges. 2 public meetings have been scheduled Sat Feb 25, 10 am and Thu March 1, 7 pm.  We need to get organized with the Republican Party and Tea Party and take a stand immediately. Residents cannot afford any more fees.

Next to speak was Ellie Shannon.  Ellie informed us of the Personhood amendment for Ohio.  She likes the Heartbeat bill but it doesn’t go far enough.  The Personhood amendment would give a fetus the right to life.  She passed out the petition for us to sign it and encouraged other to help gather signatures to get this on our Ohio ballot.

Pastor Melinda Bauman came up next.   I made everyone laugh when I said Pastor Melinda will give a short 5 minute sermon so you better relax we could be here till midnight.  The title of her message was "The God of America".  It was about the Christian roots and heritage of America.  Pastor Melinda did keep it short because of time constraints so I will have her back to give the full message.  Stay tuned for that I think you would enjoy hearing it.

The main speaker of the night was Ron Lisy who is running for State Central Committeeman.  Ron explained what the position is for.  A State Central Committeeman’s job is to get feedback from fellow Republicans in his district and then go to Columbus to voice those concerns back to the Republican headquarters.  Ron is tired of HUGE amounts of money being spent on beating fellow Republicans when that money can be saved to battle the Democrats in the general election.  He wants to see the party go back to its roots and quit drifting to the left.
  Ron Lisy was a delegate for Mike Huckabee and currently a delegate for Rick Santorum.

Half way through the meeting Dave Fiebig joined us.  I had fun with Dave by introducing him as such…. Our next speaker is Dave Fiebig who is running to be one of Obamas Czars.  Everyone collectively gave a HUHHHHH!!!  I thought it was funny.

Dave Fiebig is campaigning for one of the open spots for Lake County Commissioners.  Dave is a business owner, has served as Willoughby Hills councilman at large since 2008 and is a Lake County Republican Party Precinct Committee member.  He gave a short concise speech of some of the duties commissioner has and some of the needs of Lake County.

In conclusion, it was a successful night, mission accomplished.  Thanks again to those who attended and all the speakers.

The day I held the meet n greet was a gift....

  Friends,
  How exciting! I told the Lake County GOP, at least a year ago, the key to this election is not what is going on in Washington as much as what is going on in our neighboring county Cuyahoga. They have run that county so far into the ground they are now discussing regionalism which is nothing more than the Socialist policy of spreading the wealth or in better terms spreading the debt and corruption.

  The day I held a meet and greet, Sept. 16, for Bob Murphy, candidate for county commissioner, was a real gift from the Cleveland Plain Dealer. I had no idea what was going to be run. Most of the paper was devoted to the corruption of Dimora and Russo and the rest of Cuyahoga. And what was in the middle pages? A photo of current County Commissioner Dan Troy with Dimora and Russo. How lovely.

  Read the invite I sent out for the meet and greet I held for Bob Murphy. Turn out was OK considering the day it was held there was a monsoon.

            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  Friends and Neighbors,
  Thank you for coming today. It shows you are as concerned as I am with what is going on in our country, whether it's nationally or locally.

  I have been involved with many campaigns throughout the years, mostly state representatives, senators and presidential. A lot of people volunteer for those races as they are high profile and exciting. But there are other elected positions as important or more so than just those, with exception the presidential.

  What is the role of commissioner?
  The Board of Lake County Commissioners sets the administrative policy for county government. While the Commissioners have no power to initiate legislation, they do exercise powers granted to them by the Ohio General Assembly through state law.
 The Commissioners are responsible for the appropriations of the county tax revenues through the adoption of the annual county budget. The budget includes appropriations for the numerous county offices, including those offices headed by other elected officials. The Commissioners have the power to levy taxes and to approve the placement of tax levies and bond issues on the ballot for consideration by county voters. The Commissioners also administer all federal grant monies.
 The Commissioners hold title to all county owned property and are responsible for the upkeep. By law, they must provide office space for all county offices. They must build the facilities necessary to house various offices such as the Courtrooms, the Jail, Engineer's facilities and parking. The Commissioners award all contracts for purchase and construction projects. (taken from Lake County Ohio Commissioners Site)

  As you can see the role of commissioner is one of much importance. With all the corruption that is going on in Cuyahoga County, which I am positive will spill over into Lake County, it is imperative we elect morally and fiscally responsible officials. I believe Bob Murphy is such a person.

So what can you do?
The basics, which so many overlook.  Make phone calls, put up yard signs, and pass out flyer's.
But by far the most effective is simply telling a friend - VOTE FOR BOB MURPHY!

Together we can keep out Cuyahoga thinking and keep Lake County - Lake County!
Your Friend,
Carey Masci
