Read about this a few years ago so this has been known for a while. The problem is, many people just don't read and mainstream journalists are failing this Country in epic proportions.

Just as Vivek wants Ohioans to believe he's a business success story, Donald wants America to believe he's a business success story...notice a trend here?

Why wasn’t he sued over this? It sounds like he scammed everyone!

Secret police rounding up Ohioans and sending them to concentration camps also hurts Ohioans, yet you and Dr. Acton support ALPR cameras and law enforcement agencies working with ICE. 63% of Americans support ending qualified immunity. Dr. Acton previously referred to ICE as the "Ku Klux Klan" - what changed? Why is her desire to work with the KKK to do ethnic cleansing in Ohio?

If you are elected, the Trump administration will target Ohio for being a "blue" state, and it seems like Amy is ready to personally put on the shock gloves and start arresting immigrants with ICE. How are you more conservative than Mike DeWine on the issue of ethnic cleansing?

Another good response. Can you get it in the Cincinnati Enquirer or what’s left of the Community Press?

Why hasn't this found a way into media coverage or political ads? I don't believe that this is widely known among the public.

This is a local progressive group in Highland County Ohio that I am part of. We are trying to expand our reach. There will be more to come from Unity in Action for Democracy that aims to remove barriers which divide us while informing Ohioans on candidates and topics aligned with common values.

Thanks. What other info do you have on this group - founders, history, funding, groups aligned with them, advocacy for specific candidates? I don't pass on info without sourcing or vetting.

You're right to be suspicious. You may notice that this is not part of Pepper's post. It was just shared here. I opened the substack and found no details that were helpful in identifying who the group is... I would say it's a 'troll' just trying to reach concerned activists. Hopefully David or his staff will remove it.

Hi, Suellyn! No trolls here, just concerned citizens trying to promote civility, shared purpose and effective change! I posted the article in Pepper’s comments in an effort to push our group, Unity in Action for Democracy. We are working to get the Acton/Pepper ticket in the statehouse this November!

Then answer my questions on your group, in my post above!

We are a nonpartisan political action group. We are founded by concerned citizens of Highland County Ohio. We are funded through donations and volunteers. We do not accept contributions for candidates but instead promote contributions to be made directly to candidates. We select to promote candidates who will make our lives better by working for the people, listening to us and our concerns. Currently we are promoting Howard Zody (I) for county commissioner; Any Wright (D) for state house district 91; Brian Deer (D) state senate district 17; Don Leonard US house district 15; and Amy Acton/David Pepper OH governor!
