While signers of the statement put emphases on different policies, all signers believe Ohio is best served with limited government and low taxation, affirm the definition of marriage as one man and one woman as specified in Ohio’s Constitution, stand for the right to life for unborn children, and believe that the State Republican Party Chairman should reflect and fight for these values.
In recent months, Ohio has seen Governor John Kasich propose a “tax shift” unfairly targeting certain landowners and creating a drag on energy exploration, recommend the expansion of a failing Medicaid program, and propose an increasing budget.
Senator Rob Portman has reversed course, defying a key plank of the Republican Party Platform to support same-sex marriage. This dismisses the views of roughly 3.3 million Ohioans who in 2004 voted for a Constitutional Amendment defining marriage as one man and one woman.
Finally, this week, the elected statewide Republican officials declared their support for Matt Borges to replace Bob Bennett as Ohio Republican Party Chairman. Dismissing other potential candidates, these statewide Republican officials endorsed Borges, a man who plead guilty to a misdemeanor for improper use of public office in a bribery investigation and served as a lobbyist for the liberal homosexual activist group, Equality Ohio.
This statement of rejection is not personal – the individuals above have reasons and explanations for their actions. Nor is this statement designed to elicit a specific response. This statement is to inform the public that we have not moved on these issues and we will not accept leadership which is inconsistent with the principles of the Republican Party.
Tom Zawistowski, President of the We the People Convention and Executive Director of the Portage County TEA Party, said, “The leaders of the Republican Party in Ohio have chosen to separate themselves and the party from the wishes and values of their support base. Not just liberty group members and social conservative voters, but rank and file registered Republican voters who overwhelmingly voted for the Ohio Healthcare Amendment. With this letter we put the party bosses on notice that we reject their betrayal of the party platform and our conservative values. We will not support them going forward but will instead support those who are true to our cause.”
“With sadness I put my name on this statement,” said Seth Morgan, former State Representative and Conservative Coalition Leader. “Never have I been more concerned for the direction of our state and country – largely due to a failure in leadership. Why would the Republican leaders put themselves at odds with sound public policy and the platform of their own party?”
“Some of our Republican officials seem hell-bent on alienating conservative voters and volunteers, which reduces voter turnout. They ignore the GOP platform, choosing to put themselves outside the mainstream of our party base,” said Lori Viars, Vice President of Warren County Right To Life, who also serves as Vice Chair of Warren County Republican Party.
The signers below agree with this statement and call on like-minded conservative Ohioans to organize and prepare for the challenges we are facing.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many people have stepped forward to confirm that this direction is not what we wanted for our party. The momentum building here is entirely because of your conviction and your willingness to speak up when it mattered most.

This is the party of Abraham Lincoln. We need to remember the Constitution and to stand on correct priciples.
Matt Borges name was on campaign documents that aledgely attacked Republican in violation of Party rules. There needs to be restitution and assurances ORP FUNDS WILL NOT CONTINUE TO IN VIOLATION OF THE RULES!
Matt Borges should resign because he alledgedly broke rules attacking fellow Republicans in primaries instead of Democrats which is alledgely against the RULES.
Politics in Ohio are turning rotten. Time to clean it up! We are tired of RHINOS!!!!! won't vote for any of you including Kasich and Portman!
Kasich sold us out on Medicaid expansion. He doesnt listen to the base anymore and its time for new leadership that actually respects our values instead of caving to the left.

Professor Alfio D’Urso Laywer of Via Vittorio Emanuele, Catania, 95131 Italy, do hereby provide the following affidavit of facts as conveyed in several meetings with a high level army security services official: Arturo D’Elia, former head of the IT Department of Leonardo SpA, has been charged by the public prosecutor of Naples for technology/data manipulation and implantation of viruses in the main computers of Leonardo SpA in December 2020. “Under distraction and direction of U.S. persons working from U.S. embassy in Rome, undertook the operation to switch data from the U.S. election from 3 Nov. 2020 from significant margin of victory from Donald Trump to Joe Biden . . . in a number of states where Joe Biden was losing the vote totals. Defendant states that he was working in Pescara facility of Leonardo spa and utilized military grade cyber warfare encryption capabilities to transmit and switch votes via military satellite from Fucino tower to Frankfurt, Germany. The Defendant swears that the data in some cases may have been switched to represent more than total voters registered. The Defendant states that he is willing to testify to all individuals and entities involved in the switching of votes from Donald Trump to Joe Biden when he shall be in total protection for himself and his family. I hereby declare and swear the above stated facts have been stated in my presence. https://www.stopworldcontrol.com/italy
