Redfern must go

Break a promise, get your walking papers. That's how it's supposed to work. When Chris Redfern got up in front of everyone, including Howard Dean, he promised to make sure that ODP headquarters is handicapped accesible. He has failed to deliver on that promise. We wonder now if the smart-asses that took over the ODP Executive Meeting last December now have buyer's remorse about "their guy". We here at ODP watch can say with confidence that had Dennis Leiberman been elected as ODP chair none of this would be happening. We felt then as we do now that Leiberman was a man of his word and he at least would have taken care of an easily solved problem. The symbolism of this issue is of huge importance to the Democratic party. If we can't fight for the little guy or the least among us, then what right do we have criticising the GOP when they behave the same way?

Censorship at Blue Buckeye Blog

When a handicapped woman dared complain about the lack of handicapped access on Blue Buckeye Blog her comments were deleted. Whoever is responsible for this needs to resign right away for they are surely not Democrats. This has happened before at Blue Buckeye Blog. Time and again they have blocked access to blog by many other progressive grassroots people who are convinced Redfern's ODP is not coming close to representing progressives. They too now need to be purged to give all progressives a voice.

In an earlier post we stated that the ODP needed to be destroyed. This was not hyperbole on our part, it needs to be done. The ODP needs all new people in positions of power. New people, not just the old cronies being shuffled about like a game of musical chairs. The ODP needs this in order for Democrats to win again. Fire Redfern first though. That would be a good first step.

this is a dated posting but i have to write

i am excited that an organized progressive group is stating that the ODP needs top down change

It is the single most important issue facing Ohio politics post these elections

The ODP has abandoned core value and core constituents and regions of Ohio that they dont find personally and economically to their groping.

Redfern and many insiders in the present ODP are the cronies from Toledo and other places which simply are like parasites and the current republican party bosses in Congress

Its not everyday we see the people throw out a group of bullshit artists in Washington

We need to do the same in Ohio

My experience in the state government and in ODP spans three decades and this site's comments are truly among the most important expressions i've seen anywhere on the net

the next presidential race may depend on this very idea
