Hello Friend!
Over the past few months, members like you
have signed petitions, made phone calls, written letters, and recorded
videos demanding that Gov. DeWine listen to the people
and reject utility campaign contributions.
Instead, Governor DeWine and
Lieutenant Governor Husted continue to take money from the same
utility companies that brought us House Bill 6 and shut off the power
for hundreds of thousands of families during last month’s
life-threatening heat waves. Most of us don’t have $61 million to spend on
campaign contributions.
In April alone, Governor DeWine took $13,000 from
AEP, Ohio's largest electric utility
Governor DeWine has the power to
end this culture of corruption at the Public Utilities Commission.
Instead, he chooses to profit from it while all of us are left in the
dark.
Don’t let Governor DeWine off the
hook
Call him
today (614) 644-4357
Even better, send us a video of you
doing it (upload here)!

this month's electric power outages. The meeting is open to the
public and will also be live-streamed on the PUCO’s YouTube channel.
