Cincinnati Escalating its War on Homeless People
The Cincinnati City Council Passed a resolution to put signs under all the freeway underpasses declaring "No Trespassing." This all but kills the settlement talks between the Greater Cincinnati Coalition for the Homeless and the City of Cincinnati over the sweeps of homeless people. City Council passed voted 5-4 to post the signs and begin to clear away the camps 72 hours after the sign goes up. The effort was led by Council member Chris Monzel, who complained that he and his family witnessed a homeless person performing natural bodily functions in public under an overpass.
There were protests at the Council meeting, which had recently passed an anti-panhandling ordinance. The National Coalition for the Homeless had listed Cincinnati as the sixth meanest city toward homeless people in the United States.

WEST CHESTER, OH (FOX19) - 113 Ohio candidates pledged on Wednesday to uphold the core values of the Cincinnati Tea Party.
Dozens of people packed the Lakota Freshmen Campus Auditorium to witness the event.
"Three things that we think resonate with a majority of Americans: free markets, fiscal responsibility, and limited government," said founder of the Cincinnati Tea Party Mike Wilson. "Those things are really common sense. They're not complicated. They've been sorely lacking from our government for far too long."
Each candidate signed a pledge promising to do just that. The group included: 110 Republicans, one Democrat, one Independent candidate and one non-partisan candidate. They're running for just about every local office from Precinct Executive to Congressman. All of the pledges were notarized on the spot.
"It's amazing to get this many people to turn out," said George Brunemann, a Tea Party member and candidate for Green Township Precinct Executive. "To get involved in politics. I would bet over three-fourths of them have never done anything like this before. We just felt it was time to start getting involved."
Anderson Township candidate Sue Hardenbergh agreed.
"I have three children at home," Hardenbergh said. "I just want to take America back. It was founded on principles that our founding fathers established. I think that we've gone astray."
Cincinnati Tea Party members said keeping lawmakers honest is their cup of tea.
"It's going to be us tracking their voting records," said Cincinnati Tea Party President Chris Littleton. "We say that we're lobbyists of the people. We're going to be engaging them; in their offices in Columbus, at their local counties. We're going to be attending those meetings, and trustees, and city councilmen. We're going to go to them as well. There's no level of government that's too small for engagement at this point."
Ohio Attorney General Candidate Steve Christopher agreed.
"I think they should," Christopher said. "I think that if you're a voter, whether a tea party member of not, you have a right to hold the people accountable who you send to Columbus, to Washington or to Dayton, wherever, to represent you. Because that's what they do. They represent you."

Civil rights rally remembers King's speech By the CNN Wire Staff
August 28, 2010 12:58 p.m. EDT
NAACP President Benjamin Jealous speaks at a Washington rally on Saturday.STORY HIGHLIGHTS
The event is led by the Rev. Al Sharpton
Marchers will walk to the site of a planned King memorial
Washington (CNN) -- Civil rights leaders on Saturday commemorated the 47th anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech as conservatives rallied nearby at the site where King delivered his seminal address.
The speakers -- headed by the Rev. Al Sharpton -- included Robert Franklin, president of Morehouse College, one of the speakers who made reference to the controversial event at the Lincoln Memorial organized by conservative talk show host Glenn Beck, called "Restoring Honor."
"I am delighted to know that Mr. Glenn Beck and his colleagues discovered the 'I Have a Dream' speech," Franklin said. But, he added, Beck needs to travel to Morehouse, the Atlanta college King attended, to learn what King studied, citing, for example, the works of religious thinkers who influenced the late civil rights leader.
The civil rights rally, called "Reclaim the Dream," started at Dunbar High School in northwest Washington, and afterward participants were to march to the site of a planned memorial for King.
Sharpton, U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan, Martin Luther King III and NAACP President Benjamin Todd Jealous were slated to speak at the event.
A couple of speakers noted the passing of Dorothy Height earlier this year. Height, a civil rights pioneer, had been chair and president emeritus of the National Council of Negro Women and was on the podium with King during the 1963 speech.
The "I Have a Dream" speech -- delivered on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial -- served as a symbol of the fight against racial discrimination. It was made during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, and is considered one of the pivotal and most memorable of American speeches.
