Free Ohio Now Organizes Trump Trains and Trump Waves

Cleveland, Ohio – Since its founding earlier this year, Free Ohio Now has worked tirelessly to promote the rule of law and to restore the rights of Ohioans under the Ohio and Federal Constitutions. We did this by organizing and promoting rallies against the

unconstitutional March shutdown, advocating for the regular start of school in Ohio as well as for in-person voting on election day, November 3.

In essence, Free Ohio Now is ‘Fighting the New Normal’, and every aspect of this fight has a political dimension to it, and all of them are impacted by the upcoming presidential election on November 3. Although there are two major candidates running for president, the team at Free Ohio Now have tried to take the personalities out of the equation and looked at where the parties would take our country. Based on our belief in individual rights, individual responsibility and that the rule of law should be applied equally, we are of the opinion the Republican platform best aligns with our principles.

JOIN US: To support the implementation of the Republican platform, Free Ohio Now will work through our network of leaders in counties throughout Ohio to organize Trump Trains and Trump sign and flag waving events from now through November 3. Trump Trains are convoys of cars and trucks which are decked out with Trump flags and positive messages which then travel around their respective counties to increase enthusiasm for President Trump and ultimately for the Republican platform. Beyond promoting its own events, Free Ohio Now will actively promote Trump events organized by other people or groups. Times and dates of these events can be found at freeohionow.com, which should be reviewed regularly to get the latest information.

Free Ohio Now asks that all rally participants to use their personal discretion in adhering to recommended COVID-19 safety guidelines. This is especially important for those who may be at high-risk.

Free Ohio Now Leader Speaks at “Unifying Ohio for Liberty Rally”

Free Ohio Now (FON) was honored to participate in Unifying Ohio for Liberty Rally at the Ohio Statehouse on the afternoon of Saturday, August 29. The rally was sponsored by the group Unifying Ohio, which formed in response to the unconstitutional shutdown and face mask mandate much in same way as FON was formed back in March.

There was a modest, but very enthusiastic crowd, and there were several terrific speakers including Ohio Representatives John Becker, who introduced articles of impeachment against Governor DeWine last week in the Ohio House, and Candice Keller, who is a co-sponsor of the articles of impeachment. Both Representatives drove home the point Governor DeWine violated the Ohio Constitution in several ways including by the cancelling the March 17, 2020 election as well as the Governor’s refusal to rein in the Ohio Department of Health, which clearly violated the law in shutting down the Ohio economy. As the articles of impeachment were read off, the crowd cheered in response.

Among many others speaking at the event, was ‘Mo’ from The Walk Away Movement and he gave a very powerful talk about his evolution from being a gang member in LA, who hated whites, to understanding individualism, personal responsibility and that the Democrat Party only cares Continue reading “Free Ohio Now Leader Speaks at “Unifying Ohio for Liberty Rally”” →

Ohio Valley: Trump Train a Success Story

On Saturday, August 22, the good people of the Ohio Valley KICKED the Trump Train Season off in spectacular fashion! The Trump Fans were out in force with well over 300 vehicles participating in the rolling Trump reelection campaign on wheels! The organizers were initially hoping for 100 vehicles, but, even though more than three times as many showed up, they planned ahead and picked large parks at both the starting and ending locations which could hold many more attendees than expected.

The nearly 17-mile route showed the Trump flag in many cities including: Yorkville, Tiltonsville, Rayland, Martins Ferry, Bridgeport and St. Clairsville. As this virtual land armada made its way through the cities, law enforcement, who had been contacted before hand, stopped cross-traffic to allow the procession to continue on its way! Many people lined the road, especially in the cities and towns, and well over 90% of the people along the route were pro-Trump supporters giving thumbs-up signs, cheering and generally joining in the celebration! The event ended with a program which included prayers and comments by local officials.

More events are planned in the Ohio Valley, so check out freeohionow.com on regular basis to keep up with what’s going on!

The Ohio Valley Trump Train was truly a success and we hope it will be copied elsewhere, but most Trump Trains are not going to be on this scale. Believe it or not, a Trump Train of just 3 to 5 cars going through the neighborhoods in your county can be effective too! In a community with many cul-de-sacs, a large Trump Train could not get through, but a smaller Trump Train can get in and out without a problem taking the Trump message directly to the people. See freeohionow.com for more information and tips regarding Trump Trains and/or drop us a line at freeohionow88@gmail.com when you want to do your part to preserve America and reelect President Trump.

Mail-in Voting Problems May Foreshadow Difficulties in Upcoming Presidential Vote

(by Matthew Vadum, The Epoch Times, July 14, 2020)

The unique problems posed by voting-by-mail are being blamed for election fraud in New Jersey and for a now-three-week delay in counting ballots for New York City’s primary elections, with many races yet to be decided.

These difficulties may foreshadow larger problems to come in the November presidential elections.

The processing backlog in the Big Apple wouldn’t necessarily be a big concern normally, but with voters worried about contracting the CCP virusfrom casting ballots in-person, voting-by-mail was reportedly unusually heavy in the city’s electoral contests.

Officials can’t keep up.

“In Manhattan in 2016, there were approximately 7,000 presidential primary absentee voters,” ABC News quoted Sarah Steiner, who used to chair the New York City Bar’s Election Law Committee. “And you had Hillary [Clinton] and Bernie [Sanders]. That was a competitive [Democratic Party] primary.”

But in 2020, absentee primary votes in Manhattan increased to more than 121,000.

And in New Jersey, Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal, a Democrat, charged four Continue reading “Mail-in Voting Problems May Foreshadow Difficulties in Upcoming Presidential Vote” →

Intersecting Rallies at Statehouse Precursor for Fall Campaigns

Over the July 18 weekend, several members of Free Ohio Now (FON) went to Columbus to meet up with 100’s of enthusiastic, like-minded Ohioans to push back against the mask mandate and to exercise our rights to protest! What brought us all together at the Ohio Statehouse were two separate rallies: ‘Anti-Mask Civil Disobedience Rally’, which was immediately followed by the ‘Stand for America Against Terrorists and Tyrants’ rally and was sponsored by the Ohio Patriot Action Network.

During the Civil Disobedience rally, Dave D., one of our FON county leaders, to center stage to lead the crowd in chants and to talk about and reinforce how our Constitutional rights are being violated by the mask mandate. Dave also handed his megaphone over to many others in the

crowd so they, too, could talk about important issues to those in attendance. Through Dave’s efforts, the rally was a success!

The ‘Stand for America Against Terrorists and Tyrants’ rally was well attended and many people spoke about their personal experience with the shutdown and issues wearing masks. Several candidates for political office, regular Ohioans and at least one medical professional spoke at the event. Tom Hach, FON, spoke to the rally about the importance Continue reading “Intersecting Rallies at Statehouse Precursor for Fall Campaigns” →

No Masks, Don’t Ask

Painesville, OH – You don’t have to wait for someone else to organize an anti-mask rally.  You can get together with people you know and do it yourself!!

On Friday, July 10, some anti-mask activists had a Peaceful Flash Protest outside the Lake County Administrative Offices.  Lake County does not currently have a mask mandate, but concerned members of the community wanted to let their elected and appointed officials know that the science does not support mandatory masks and that the consequences of wearing masks (accumulation of carbon dioxide, microbes accumulating on masks, etc.) have their own risks.  Start taking the reins yourself on activities which push back against unconstitutional, unwarranted and scientifically unsupported actions by state and local officials!

Rally Around Ohio to Commemorate Memorial Day

Cleveland, Ohio, May 19, 2020 – Free Ohio Now announces Memorial Day Remembrance Rallies! With many public Memorial Day Remembrance events canceled across Ohio this year, Free Ohio Now strongly believes honoring the memory of those Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice to defend our Constitutional rights, individual freedoms, and way of life is too important to pass without tribute.

To honor our fallen soldiers, marines, airmen and sailors, peaceful rallies will be held in counties across Ohio this Saturday, May 23 at 1:00 pm or at specific afternoon hours as arranged by individual counties. People attending the rallies are asked to bring American flags, to dress in red, white and blue and to make signs to honor our fallen. Check https://www.freeohionow.com for details on what’s happening in each county.

 

In a statement by Tom Hach, Free Ohio Now Core Team member: “The sacrifices made by over 1.4 Million Americans since the founding of our country to defend our freedoms is observed every year, and this year should NOT be any different. Every man and woman who died in the cause of defending freedom confronted the horror of battle and every Ohioan should recognize the great cost of liberty and the gifts of individual selfless valor that have shaped America.” Please participate in honoring our fallen heroes by attending a county rally on Saturday, May 23 and by observing a moment of silence on Monday, May 25.

FREE OHIO NOW ANNOUNCES DEMANDS

Free Ohio Now demands a better future for Ohio!

  • Rescind the State of Emergency Order and the Safe (Stay) at Home Order in Ohio immediately.

  • Release all Coronavirus data and cease all contact tracing efforts.

  • Open all Ohio businesses now and without restrictions.

  • Continue with in-person voting in November, 2020, and beyond.

  • Pass laws to prevent unconstitutional statewide quarantines of healthy individuals.

Free Ohio Now strongly believes enough is now known about the at-risk segments of the population who are most vulnerable to Coronavirus, including the elderly and those with already compromised health, to show continuing the State of Emergency and Safe (Stay) at Home Orders for the general public are no longer justified. These sanctions need to be lifted immediately for all low-risk Ohioans so they can achieve life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as they see fit!
