This meeting will be the first in a 3-part series as we delve further into our rights as American citizens. Attendance at all meetings is not required to participate.

MEDINA: MCFAN Meeting with D.J. Swearingen and Aaron Harrison

Please join us at our next MCFAN meeting on Saturday, September 9th at 9:00am at the Thirsty Cowboy. We will be welcoming two guest speakers, State Representative D.J. Swearingen and Medina County Commissioner Aaron Harrison.

Representative Swearingen is currently serving his second term in the Ohio House of Representatives for the 89th House District. This encompasses eastern Ottawa County, western Erie County, and most of Huron County. Representative Swearingen will be discussing his endorsement of President Trump, how he is going after Google, his involvement in the TikTok Bill, and the conservative agenda that the legislature will take up when they return from their summer break. For more information about State Representative D.J. Swearingen, go to: ohiohouse.gov/members/d-j-swearingen/biography

Commissioner Harrison will be filling us in on the extremist agenda of the Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency (NOACA). As you may already know, NOACA has been conducting Community Engagement Sessions for their Climate Action Plan. The stated goal of these meetings is to gather public feedback on climate change mitigation strategies so NOACA can draft a final version of their plan by October of this year. Local environmental organizations with openly stated goals of “dismantling Capitalism” have gathered at these meetings to express support for NOACA’s plan of a 63.3% reduction of Greenhouse Gases by 2030 and NetZero by 2050. Commissioner Harrison will explain why it is imperative that people speak up now and push back against NOACA’s harmful agenda before it’s too late.

Medina County is slated for these 2 NOACA meetings.
