Under Attack by anti-CCW forces: Jim Trakas (R-17) Needs your Help Nov. 5!

1:06pm Monday, November 04, 2002

Last month, we reported that anti-CCW forces had decided to make Jim Trakas' (R-17) support for Concealed Carry Reform a linch pin in their campaign to unseat him . Attack ads were televised in the 17th House District, essentially making the claim that Trakas supports Wild West-type justice and that he wants to make it easier for criminals to get guns. We have also learned about a recent letter...

''Million Moms'' can't muster 20 at anti-Jim Trakas (R-17) Rally

12:40pm Monday, November 04, 2002

Last week, OFCC PAC became aware of an election eve rally being staged by Ohio's contingent of the nearly bankrupt Million Mom March against pro-CCW legislator Jim Trakas (R-17).

Bring out the Vote! Pro-CCW Majority in Legislature under fire

7:54am Monday, November 04, 2002

Republicans have been telling Ohioans for Concealed Carry for over a year that their pro-CCW majorities in both Ohio legislative bodies are at risk. And it all comes down to this - in 24 hours, Ohioans will have the opportunity to ensure the pro-CCW, veto-proof majority remains or is strengthened, or to weaken the chances to have Concealed Carry Reform passed any time soon. A look at one urban...

A Democrat's challenge to unseat incumbent Supreme Court Justice Evelyn Lundberg Stratton has been intense, even though many voters admit they know little about the race.

According to a poll of likely voters conducted by the Columbus Dispatch, the contentious...

Onslaught of anti-Stratton TV ads gets even uglier

11:38am Friday, November 01, 2002

Apparently undeterred by the Ohio State Bar Association's strong condemnation of two anti-Stratton ads, and two days after Burnside denounced the ads under pressure, supporters of Janet Burnside have struck out yet again. The latest cries of outrage came yesterday about an ad called "Miscarriage of Justice,'' which accuses Justice Evelyn Lundberg Stratton of protecting big drug companies instead...
