One at a time????

Word is that Republican Rep. Pat Tiberi (Ohio 12th congressional district) will not have a town hall meeting. He is willing to meet one person at a time for appointments.  If you are planning to meet him, have set up an appointment, just bring along a few hundred of your closest friends!!!!

One of the last independent record stores in central Ohio is closing. Ace in the Hole, located at Kenny Center, will close at the end of the month.

Where in the world is Rep. Pat Tiberi?

Republican Rep. Pat Tiberi (OH-12th) has been playing hide and seek with his constituents. We can see him on CSPAN, but he rarely appears in his local congressional district. Voters in the 12th congressional district have been calling his office demanding a town hall meeting, but Pat Tiberi is refusing to meet with us. A recent WOSU story indicates that Tiberi's office has been overwhelmed with phone calls and visits from constituents. Unfortunately, Tiberi is refusing to talk with the people in his district.

In other news on Pat Tiberi  ------ According to the Columbus Dispatch, Pat Tiberi appears to be considering a possible run against Sen. Sherrod Brown (Ohio Democrat).  If Tiberi cannot adequately serve the people of the 12th district, how can he respond to the entire state of Ohio? As for me, I will continue to support Sen. Sherrod Brown.

Pat Tiberi Doesn't Care About Women

Do you live in Ohio's 12th Congressional District?  You must ask yourself the following question:

What has U.S. Rep. Pat Tiberi, Republican, done to improve my life?

Unfortunately, Pat Tiberi has not done much to help his female constituents.

The evidence----

On September 18, 2015, Pat Tiberi voted to defund Planned Parenthood (http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2015/roll505.xml).  He was also a co-sponsor for the legislation.  Why does Rep. Tiberi want to block poor women from getting treated for irregular periods and yeast infections? Doesn't he care about women's health?

On June 4, 2009, Pat Tiberi voted against the Federal Employees Paid Parental Leave Act (http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2009/roll310.xml).  Apparently, he doesn't care about the families of 

federal employees.

Although Pat Tiberi claims to be working to bring jobs back to his district, it isn't happening. He appears more concerned with tax breaks for businesses. Most of his efforts in the House appear to be in the area of taxation, according to https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/patrick_tiberi/400406. He isn't bringing jobs back to the district but Tiberi is helping the rich pay less taxes.

Tea Party Controls the House?

It appears that John Boehner is completely powerless. The Republican-controlled House of Representatives is being controlled by tea party GOPers.

NYTimes:

....As senior members of the Judiciary Committee looked on, the opponents — Representatives Raúl R. Labrador of Idaho, Louie Gohmert of Texas, Steve King of Iowa and Mo Brooks of Alabama — reshaped two bills to address the rush of unaccompanied children trying to enter the country illegally. Representative Michele Bachmann, Republican of Minnesota, was there, too, and she and Mr. King later took to Twitter to post photos of themselves approving the final language....

“When you put Raúl Labrador, Steve King and Michele Bachmann together writing an immigration bill, there’s damage done, no question,” said Carlos Gutierrez, a commerce secretary under President George W. Bush who led the failed war room in 2007 trying to get a comprehensive overhaul of the nation’s immigration laws passed.

The Republican Party pumped tens of millions of dollars into defeating Tea Party candidates in the midterm primary season, exerted pressure to cut off funding to conservative Tea Party-affiliated political action committees, and even turned to Democrats to pass crucial laws and neutralize conservative rebels. Mr. Boehner said he went along with a government shutdown in October to show his fractious conference the political cost of intransigence....

Bachmann, Steve King, Labrador, and Gohmert are controlling legislation???  Hatred, fear, and lies are being used by these right wingers to promote their agenda.

Which members voted for this legislation?  You can see the list here. It includes Rep. Pat Tiberi and the rest of the Ohio Republicans. Shame on them for caving into the hatemongers!

How to Get Attention

Recently, Republican Rep. Pat Tiberi made a visit to Genesis Bethesda Hospital in Zanesville, Ohio, according to WHIZ News.

The constituents in Ohio's 12th congressional district might come to the conclusion that only those that contribute to Tiberi's campaign get his attention. Honestly, Tiberi has done nothing to bring jobs to this district and we are wondering when or if he will. Guess he is too busy visiting his contributors.
