Live at the Ohio Statehouse
December 22, 2020 After protesting at Larry Obhof's house two days earlier, we showed up at the Ohio Statehouse and waited five hours to catch Larry Obhof as he came out of caucus, not knowing how long it was going to take. Before I started this livestream, Ohio Representative Chris Jordan spoke with us on the status of SB311. In this livestream is the conversation we had with Ohio Representative Jena Powell as we waited for Larry Obhof to come out of caucus. I apologize for the sound quality. As you can hear, the acoustics of the Rotunda create quite an echo chamber.
Jack Windsor reported on our exchange with Larry Obhof after this livestream took place: https://theohiostar.com/2020/12/26/obhof-backs-down-from-early-threat-to-override-veto-on-sb311-but-bill-may-not-be-dead/
"A group assembled atop the steps leading into the Senate Chamber. Senate President Larry Obhof (R-22) stepped into the space between doors just outside the entrance to the Senate Chamber and was peppered with shouts. “Get 311 on the floor!” “Hold the override vote Obhof!”
The Senate President looked at the citizens and repeated the talking point Ohioans had heard from the Senate for over a week – “the House doesn’t have the votes.”
That comment was met with objections “the House HAS the votes!” Obhof waved his hand to dismiss the comments and walked into the chamber.
The Senate did not bring SB311 to the floor, consequently it did not receive a vote."
Consequently, we decided to go back to Larry Obhof's house five days later for another protest on December 27, 2020 in an attempt to get him to bring SB311 to the Senate Floor before the deadline at midnight on December 31st.

Dance Party @ Ohio Emperor Mike DeWine's House 1/22/21, Part 2 of 2
January 22, 2021. After deciding to extend curfew for another week, we decided Mike DeWine needed to hear from us again, especially because his son and Ohio Supreme Court judge, Pat DeWine, was caught at a maskless party disregarding his own father's orders:

As you enjoy the beautiful sound of an airhorn in this video, might I suggest you ask yourself how you can creatively tell DeWine how his policies have directly impacted your life this past year? Two things I admire about Ohioans: our resilience and our creativity.

NYE Live at Ohio Emperor Mike DeWine's 12/31/20, Part 2 of 2
December 31, 2020 After DeWine colluded with Larry Obhof to kill SB311, we decided to show up at Emperor DeWine's to throw a raging party. This was the last day that SB311 could have been brought to the Senate floor for a veto override vote. If the Senate had done their job, the House had already provided the evidence that they would do theirs. If SB311 had passed both the Senate and the House, it still wouldn't have taken effect for 90 days. That means relief wouldn't have come for small business owners, elderly in nursing homes, kids struggling to breath in schools, cancer patients still being denied treatment, terminally ill patients still being denied in-home care, etc...for NINETY DAYS. But even that was too "extreme" for Emperor DeWine.
As we rang in the new year LOUDLY, so began a new legislative session. The earliest a new SB311-like bill could be passed is June. In the meantime, all the aforementioned Ohioans and more continue to suffer under the rule of a tyrant. That is why we're loud. That is why we'll never stop being loud.

Live @ Larry Obhof's house AGAIN 12/27/20
December 27, 2020 After Larry Obhof lied to us at the Ohio Statehouse on Tuesday, December 22nd, saying once again that the Ohio House didn't have the necessary 60 votes for a successful veto override, the Ohio House release TWO documents with the necessary signatures, proving that Larry Obhof was only keeping SB311 off the Senate floor because he had made a deal with DeWine.
So we showed up at Obhof's house again, letting him know that we didn't appreciate him holding 11.7 million Ohioans hostage just because he wanted to serve himself instead of the people he swore an oath to serve.

Live @ Larry Obhof's house 12/20/20
December 20, 2020 After refusing to answer calls, emails, and letters as well as refusing to meet with Moms Against DeWine in person to explain why he refused to bring SB311 to the Senate floor for a veto override vote, we showed up at his house to ask him in person. Unsurprisingly, Obhof was not there. A police officer showed up briefly right before I started filming and left after affirming our right to peaceably assemble. As always, we were calm, respectful and had the full support of local police.
Rumor has it, DeWine has promised Larry Obhof a nice cushy position next year in exchange for killing the vote.
This Facebook livestream received over 10k views in less than one week. Facebook promptly banned me from further livestreams until January 19, 2021.

Dance Party at Ohio Emperor Mike DeWine's House
Dec. 4, 2020
Ohio Emperor Mike DeWine had been visited by dancing protestors for 3 weeks in a row, so we thought we'd show up for a 4th week. Still under a 10:00 p.m. - 5:00 a.m. curfew and still disregarding it, we had fun even though it was pretty cold.

Dance Party @ Mike DeWine's House
Nov. 20, 2020
Ohio Emperor Mike DeWine decided to slap Ohio with a 10:00 p.m. - 5:00 a.m. curfew in addition to all the other decrees he'd made, so we showed up at his house again to dance AND break curfew. There were more people in attendance this time, and the weather was warmer. No arrests were made, because DeWine's curfew is illegal.

We came to Ohio Governor Mike DeWine's house to dance on a Monday night after he ordered "no dancing" in the State of Ohio and while he was considering a 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. curfew. Hilarity and joyousness ensued on the street right in front of his house.
