Multiple states have already moved forward with some type of Automated Voter Registration

REGIONAL NEWS
OTR FILM FESTIVAL - Small town Ohio on the big screen - CONVICTION: THE TRUE STORY OF CLARENCE ELKINS: In order for Clarence Elkins family and supporters to prove his innocence, all of the stars had to align perfectly. Its a story that would be unbelievable if it weren’t true. (Ohio Innocence Project)
LORAIN FOP TURNS FROM DEWINE - “This is the greatest public health emergency facing the state, but in eight years, we have seen very little action on it,” the mayor said. “We’ve given (Republicans) a chance to lead, and I think it’s time for somebody else to have an opportunity.” WE AGREE! We've given both of the other two candidates a chance and all they did was play the Blame Game!
Somebody else = Travis Irvine! Follow him on Twitter @TravisIrvineUSA
STATE NEWS
OHIO DOCS ALREADY RECOMMENDING MED MARIJUANA - None of the 56 medical marijuana dispensaries planned for under the state’s new Medical Marijuana Program are operating yet. But that’s not stopping some doctors from writing recommendations for patients who can ultimately use the drug when it does become available.
NATIONAL NEWS
LIBERTARIAN PARTY NATIONAL MEMBERSHIP - It's free to be a member but with a minimum donation of $25 you are a dues paying member. Why is that important? We are assigned a number of delegates at the National Convention based on how many dues paying members we have. The number of delegates is how many votes we have at convention on policy, leadership, as well as President and Vice Presidential candidates!
You will get the Libertarian newspaper and stay abreast of what is happening with party insiders!
Currently Ohio is about #7 in the country for # registered voters - and we are about #7 for number of Libertarians that are dues paying members. However, we are only a few spots out of 6th, about ten spots from 5th and less than 100 from 4th! We could be looking at being the third most Libertarian state in the nation by the time we get to the Austin, TX Convention in 2020! It all starts with you! Spouses can both join and you will each have a delegate vote at convention.
PLUS right now, if you use this link, https://www.lp.org/join14/?f=oh - you can choose a free gift for joining or renewing! Please consider joining and asking your friends and family to join as well. Please share this link on all of your social media with a plea for all of Ohio to stand up and be counted!
