Sat., Jan. 9, 5 p.m. - Meet US Senate Candidate Tom Ganley
2951 E. State St., Fremont
Public Invited to meet Tom Ganley and hear him tell why he wants to be Ohio's US Senator at regular meeting of the American Patriots Against Government Excess (APAGE). Details at www.americanspage.com or 419-332-3259.
Independent Toledo City Council candidate Kevin Milliken will hold a press conference at 3:30 pm TODAY, Nov. 1, 2009 outside One Government Center.
Kevin will discuss a different way he'll encourage Toledo city government to budget taxpayer dollars to ensure there are TWO police classes in 2010 to replace retiring officers and maintain an adequate safety force, as well as a new fire class to help solve the expensive fire dept. overtime situation.
Independent Toledo City Council candidate Kevin Milliken will be campaigning during trick or treat hours tonight, 6-8 pm in Point Place, during what's being called Trick or Vote 2009.
Kevin will be passing out candy to parents/voters and talking to them about how the city government ghouls and goblins, disguised as professional politicians are tricking them as taxpayers with big spending and budget deficits. Right after the full moon near election day, they'll turn back into the vampires who suck the lifeblood from our community with higher taxes and foolish spending.
According to the Independent Collegian writer, this was one of the highlights of the game. This was first reported here.
From the crowd’s excitement when the players entered through a tunnel spouting streams of blue and yellow fire, to the throwing of fish on to the ice after a Toledo goal, and even from the reigning of “boos” on to Mayoral Candidate Ben Konop before the game, the environment is in itself worth the price of admission.

The Toledo Free Press Endorses Mayoral Candidate Mike Bell.
There is a world of difference between leading through intimidation and leading through inspiration. Mike Bell is the best of a great field of candidates because he understands that difference.
Bell literally put his life on the line for Toledo, and he has parlayed the respect and experience he earned into a career that took him to Columbus as the state’s fire marshal. He is a proven leader with experience at the top of city government, and no one else has that the inside view.

Toledo Blade Letters to the Editor
Mayoral candidate Ben Konop can be commended for saying he chooses to take the high ground and not respond to the abuse being dished out by WSPD Radio. The issue that really should be looked at has less to do with Mr. Konop than the cynical and condescending commentary masquerading as news that is so frequently heard on WSPD.
Toledo, OH – Education is the foundation to our youth and unemployed adults in Toledo becoming productive and prosperous citizens. City Council Candidate Stephen Ward will outline his 'Urban Hope' plan on Thursday, August 27 at 12:30 PM at Owens Community College, Fire Science/Law Enforcement Center, Building 19, Room 131.
CITY COUNCIL CANDIDATE STEPHEN WARD RECEIVES ENDORSEMENT
Wayne Seely, Owens Community College Criminal Justice Instructor
Toledo, OH – Stephen Ward has received an endorsement from Criminal Justice Instructor Wayne Seely. Professor Seely asserts, “Stephen is a man of honor and integrity.”
Thought someone would (or wouldn't) appreciate this video clip of local judge candidate Mark Davis breaking bricks in super slow-mo on YouTube. The clip is titled "Attorney Breaking Bricks Slow Motion" and you can go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTqDJDNLoc0
For starters, I really just want to ask "WHY?" But the comments are actually pretty hilarious!
One last thing...did he steal the Van Halen "wings" font for his campaign posters?? Long live VH!!
Armed deputy guards are providing security for Mayoral Candidate Ben Konop. According to an article in the Toledo Blade as well as being reported by WTOL News, WSPD radio host Brian Wilson broadcasted Konop's personal cell phone number over the air.
In addition, a man approached Konop inside Government Center, and he had a knife in his waist band.
You can read more and view the interview with Brian Wilson here:
When: Sunday August 16th

On Sunday, August 16th, mayoral candidate Jim Moody will offer specifics on how Toledo can bolster its safety forces and how to pay for them.

Konop asks Youtube video be taken off Web
A video posted on Youtube.com showing Toledo mayoral candidate Ben Konop "fighting" a heckler who falls and rolls on an American flag was removed from the site less than a day after it was posted. The video posted Wednesday at 4:08 p.m, was titled "Ben Konop Kicks the Nachos Out of Hecklers."
Toledo, OH – We are in the third quarter of 2009 and the city of Toledo is still facing a budget deficit of approximately $8.9 million dollars. The citizens of Toledo are frustrated, as we continue to watch the Mayor and City Council argue back and forth undermining each other instead of making the tough decisions necessary to solve the budget deficit. On Thursday, August 13th at 10 AM in front of One Government Center, City Council candidate Stephen Ward will request that the city of Toledo be audited by an independent auditing firm outside of the city of Toledo.
Lucas County Commissioner and Mayoral candidate Ben Konop, who by running for mayor is warning us he is a liar, has his Wikipedia page protected from any truth. With his embarrassing video all over the internet, CNN, Comedy Central, and MSNBC, one would hope that a quick visit to Konop's Wiki page would provide some insight. The man has demonstrated a lack of character by breaking pledges. ( http://thetommorrissey.com/toledo-free-press/ben-konop-honor-your-word/ )
However, the Controversies page has been removed more than once by user "BKonop." The man is a LC Commissioner, running for Mayor, and is editing his Wikipedia page - talk about qualified.
