Where are the jobs, Tiberi?


***  Republican Rep. Pat Tiberi (OH-12) suggests that Ohio should not expand Medicaid, as noted in the Dispatch:

U.S. Rep. Pat Tiberi, R-Genoa Township, says Ohio should opt out of expanding Medicaid because the tax-funded health-insurance program already covering 2.2 million poor and disabled is overburdened.

“We’re just adding all these people to Medicaid without fixing it,” Tiberi said of President Barack Obama’s health-care law yesterday during a meeting with the Dispatch editorial board....

....Tiberi said future costs for states are uncertain....

Pat Tiberi's response is pretty lame.  If people need Medicaid, why should it be denied?  Tiberi, Kasich, and other Republicans are just trying to win political points with the extreme right wing Tea Party Republicans. 

I have a proposal.  Pat Tiberi hasn't brought back one job to his district and paying him overburdens us taxpayers.  We should stop paying Tiberi and everyone else that has refused to work with President Obama to create jobs.  Instead of creating jobs, Republicans like Tiberi have passed the same legislation over, and over again.  The Republican controlled House of Representatives has repealed the Affordable Care Act numerous times, made it more difficult for women to have access to gynecological medical care repeatedly, and passed bills to take apart legislation that protect the public from unfair bank practices.

Pat Tiberi is wrong and I'm not sure how he has remained in the House as long as he has.  We need to make sure that people are able to eat, have shelter, and care for themselves. This is the responsible thing to do. Tiberi is always bragging that he is friends with the Bishop.  Perhaps Tiberi should ask the Bishop about those areas of Catholicism that refer to taking care of the poor.

Tiberi + Romney= Not working for you


*** Where do you keep your money?  My husband and I invest in banks in our country because we believe in America, and we want to make our country strong and safe for our children and grandchildren.  Apparently, Mitt Romney has his money in foreign countries to get the best rates and hide his true wealth from the American people.  Does Mitt Romney care about our country and our citizens?  Why is Romney so secretive about his investments, tax returns, and even his plans?

Guess what happened yesterday? Nothing.  The Republicans, including Pat Tiberi and Steve Stivers, and the rest of the Ohio Republicans, voted again to repeal the Affordable Care Act (see Washington Post).  Shame on them.  Don't let these people tell you they are working for you!

Josh Mandel Hangs Out with SB 5 Supporter


Republican Josh Mandel, still touring Ohio instead of going to his office to do his job as Ohio Treasurer, met up with someone Ohio voters remember--- Kyle Farmer. During the push for SB 5/Issue 2, the anti-middle class legislation pushed by Kasich and the Republicans, Kyle Farmer appeared in an ad as a teacher that supported the Republican issue.  However, it was soon discovered that Kyle Farmer was also the chair of the Fairfield County GOP.  It is good to see that Josh Mandel continues to keep those friendships with people that share his anti-workers rights agenda.  Kyle Farmer and Josh Mandel----still working together. 

If there are any firefighters, teachers, nurses, police officers, public employees that need reminding about what Josh Mandel, Kyle Farmer, John Kasich, and the Ohio GOP wanted to do to Ohio's middle class, you can read through it here.

Republican Josh Mandel reminds Ohio voters every single day why he should never be elected to a higher office.  He doesn't respect the rights of women, middle class working men and women, the elderly, public school education, etc.

Pat Tiberi Is Not Working for You


Republican Rep. Pat Tiberi continues to bask in the benefits of being in the House of Representatives, even though he has done nothing to help the residents of his district. Tiberi hasn't produced any real jobs for the people he represents.

One thing we do know is that Pat Tiberi supports Mitt Romney. Does Tiberi support tax cuts for companies even if they send jobs overseas or offshore?   Does Tiberi think it is appropriate for a candidate for U.S. President to have secret accounts in other countries?  Does Pat Tiberi think that the Paul Ryan budget is moral?  The Paul Ryan budget takes from the poor to give more tax breaks to millionaires. Is that moral?

Which candidate will help you more----one that has enriched himself, or one that wants to invest in our country?
