"WEST CHESTER TWP. — Activists delivered a stack of dirty laundry to U.S. Rep. John Boehner’s West Chester Twp. office Wednesday, May 27, to protest his stance on health care reform.

The 14 T-shirts had messages written on them, many from a nearby low-income neighborhood.

“I have breast cancer — a pre-existing condition. I can’t get health coverage. Please Mr. Boehner, support health care for Americans now,” read one T-shirt signed by “Cassandra.”

“I lost my insurance because I couldn’t get enough hours at work,” another read.

The demonstration was part of a nationwide effort organized by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now and Health Care for America Now. They targeted Boehner, U.S. House Republican leader, because of his record of opposing expansion of publicly funded healthcare."

"COLUMBUS — In Ohio, it is perfectly legal to fire an employee because he is gay or to evict a lesbian couple from an apartment because they’re gay.

For the past eight years, gay rights advocates have tried to get state lawmakers to outlaw such discrimination, but the various bills have died in legislative committees.

This time, Equality Ohio, a non-profit, statewide gay rights group, is confident the Equal Housing and Employment Act will be adopted in the Democrat-controlled House, where 27 members have signed on as co-sponsors."


This was a very long time coming!!!!
