Richard Michael “Mike” DeWine (born January 5, 1947) was a two-term Republican senator from Ohio, serving from 1995 to 2007.
On July 22, 2009, DeWine announced his candidacy for Attorney General of the state of Ohio.
DeWine is known for his pro-life voting record. In the Senate, he wrote the Unborn Victims of Violence Act. The bill prohibits violent acts against unborn babies to be disregarded under federal law.
DeWine sponsored the Federal Marriage Amendment but opposed State Issue 1, Ohio’s Defense of Marriage Amendment, due to the technical wording of the measure, which he felt would restrict the rights of heterosexual partnerships as well.
In 2004 DeWine co-sponsored an amendment to renew the ban on common semi-automatic weapons. He was one of only two Republican senators to vote against the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, which banned lawsuits against gun manufacturers, distributors and dealers for criminal misuse of their products. In the 2006 election cycle, DeWine was the first senatorial candidate to be endorsed by the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence(formerly known as Handgun Control Inc.) and displayed that endorsement on his campaign webpage. Furthermore, DeWine authored Senate Bill 954, to extend lifetime bans on gun ownership on citizens who happened to get a conviction in a foreign country, which carried a jail term of more that a year. That bill only garnered the endorsement of one other Senator, Diane Feinstein of California.
DeWine has also broken with his party on issues such as funding for Head Start programs, the federal minimum wage and drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR).
After President George W. Bush nominated White House Counsel Harriet Miers on October 3, 2005, for a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court, DeWine said “I think the fact she doesn’t have judicial experience will add to the diversity of the Supreme Court… There is no reason everyone has to have that same (judicial) background.” Opposition from conservative groups unhappy with Miers’ resume ultimately sank her nomination.
DeWine sponsored the “Stars on Cars” legislation, which appeared in the 2005 highway bill. The rule requires that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration star safety rating information be displayed on part of the window sticker on new cars beginning with the 2008 model year.

House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) today issued the following statement after Members of the House GOP Health Care Reform Solutions Group outlined its proposal to reduce costs and expand Americans access to affordable health care:
“Health care reform is a bipartisan priority, but the Democrats plan for government-run health care is not the change Americans want. Their new government-run program will make health care more expensive, raise taxes, ration care, and empower bureaucrats to make key medical decisions instead of patients and doctors. It will force at least 23 million Americans to lose their current health care plan, and force them into a massive new government-run plan that will crowd out all competition. Middle-class families and small businesses simply dont support a government takeover of health care, and neither should Congress.
House Republicans have a better plan to reduce costs, expand access, and increase the quality of care in a way that Americans can afford. Our plan focuses on innovative preventive and wellness programs to help avoid serious, and costly, illnesses. It gives states tools to design innovative programs that make health care coverage more affordable for everyone, while providing more Americans incentives to buy health care they cannot afford now. Our proposal allows small businesses to band together and provide insurance for their employees at a lower cost, just as large corporations and unions do. And it roots out waste, fraud, and abuse that costs taxpayers billions, while reining in junk lawsuits that make health care more costly for everyone.
Unlike the Democrats government takeover of health care, this common-sense plan keeps patients and doctors in charge of key medical decisions. I thank Rep. Blunt, as well as Reps. Dave Camp (R-MI), Buck McKeon (R-CA), Joe Barton (R-TX), and all the Members of our Republican Solutions Group for their work on this proposal, and I urge Democrats in Washington to give it serious consideration during the health care debate this summer.
NOTE: The plan outlined by the House Republican Health Care Reform Solutions Group, led by Rep. Roy Blunt (R-MO), is designed to:
* Make quality health care coverage affordable and accessible for every American, regardless of pre-existing health conditions.
* Protect Americans from being forced into a new government-run health care plan that would eliminate the health care coverage that more than 100 million Americans currently receive through their job.
* Let Americans who like their health care coverage keep it, and give all Americans the freedom to choose the health plan that best meets their needs.
* Ensure that medical decisions are made by patients and their doctors, not government bureaucrats.
* Improve Americans lives through effective prevention, wellness, and disease management programs, while developing new treatments and cures for life-threatening diseases.
Boehner said the GOP plan also maintains current law provisions regarding restrictions on federal funding of abortion services, and does not impose mandates either on insurance carriers or medical providers to participate in activities that violate their religious and moral beliefs.

For more than a decade, the HIV Agencies and Organizations in New York City, NY have been aware of Serosorting and (more importantly) SAFE SEX Serosorting. For more than a decade, the HIV Agencies and Organizations in New York City, NY have delibertaly refused to inform the general public about Safe Sex Serosorting as an HIV Prevention Strategy. For more than a decade, the HIV Agencies and Organizations in New York City, NY have NOT proved Safe Sex Serosorting wrong. Therefore, WHY continue to fund these HIV Agencies and Organizations since it is clear that they do NOT want to stop the spread of new HIV transmissions? How many MORE HIV-negative people (gay AND straight) must become infected with HIV before the HIV Agencies and Organizations in New York City, NY finally inform the general public about Safe Sex Serosorting? Finally, can Accounting Fraud and Discrimination lawsuits against these HIV Agencies and Organizations be explored?

This is the most heavily suppressed video on Youtube. In it, Dr David Ayoub provides mountains of factual medical evidence to prove autism is caused by thimerosal mercury in the baby vaccines. In one chart, David shows how the vaccine companies could be forced to pay $100 billion in lawsuit claims if this evidence is brought into court.
$100 billion is a vast sum of money. Now we wonder, what would these vaccine companies do to try to protect that $100 billion?
