TIME: 3pm - 5:30pm
WHERE: Geauga County Fairgrounds Grandstand, 14373 N. Cheshire Street, Burton, OH 44021
SPEAKERS: DOC Thompson from WRVA- DOC fills in for Glenn Beck about every 2 months, and he was one of the featured speakers in Washington, DC on 9/12!
Tim Cox from www.goooh.com Tim is coming up from TEXAS to share a plan that he has developed, a plan whereby WE THE PEOPLE can oust all 435 House of Reps! And take our Country back! Tim & The Burton 912 Group will be hosting a Mock Election after the rally – at the Sebastians On The Square restaurant in Chardon, OH, from 6-9 pm. Plan to attend! You’ll love it!
Joe the Plumber - gained national prominence when he asked then presidential candidate, Barack Obama, a question about his tax plan. The conversation was captured by an ABC cameraman and Joe’s life would never again be the same. His story came to symbolize the idea of spreading the wealth in the 2008 presidential campaign. Through massive amounts of mud-slinging and name bashing, Joe never backed down from his principles. To this day he continues to fight for the working man so they have the opportunity to fulfill their true American dream
Matt Patrick from 640WHLO out of Akron/Canton will be the MC... Matt is really behind the Tea Party movement, he MC'd the only Ohio stop for the 'Tea Party Express' in Canton on 9/9 and there were 5000 people there, did an excellent job!

There may be another speaker or two, we'll let you know as we know.... Some of you may have heard that we were hoping to have Bob Basso, Bob has motivated literally millions to get involved -
(the man who portrays himself as Thomas Paine on YouTube - http://www.youtube.co... Bob is NOT coming to this event--he was just too booked to fit us in (60
appearances in 69 days), but he did promise us that he would come to our next event!
BRING: The Grandstand will hold about 2500 people and they will be adding to that some bleachers that will hold another 1000, approximately. There's also room in the box seat section for probably 200
to 300 chairs. (Maybe quite a bit more.) So, if you have a lawn-chair, bring it incase the Grandstand is full. 3/4 of the Grandstands are covered...but let's pray for no rain. We
have no idea how many people will be coming, we are inviting everyone from Buffalo to Columbus to Pittsburgh. Bring sweaters and jackets if it is cool, let's hope it isn't snowing!!! There will be no
water, as the pipes are drained for winter....so if you are going to want water, you need to bring it with you. We are renting a couple of Porti-Potties...
PARKING: There will be plenty of parking, and it is FREE! And there is no charge for the event, we want EVERYONE to come! We will be passing around a donation basket, for those of you who would like to
help us with the expenses of renting the Fairgrounds and flying in the speakers...and other expenses that come with putting on a program like this.
T-SHIRTS: We will have T-Shirts and Sweat Shirts for sale! They are a great way to tell the world what you think, without saying a word!
DON'T BRING: It probably doesn't even need to be said, but just for the record, DO NOT BRING ALCOHOL OF ANY KIND to the event. We assured the FAIR Manager there would be NO ALCOHOL.

Bill Wills and WTAM along with Matt Patrick and 640WHLO are promoting the "WAKE UP OHIO!" event for us, and we hope to get newspaper coverage as well. Please, all of you, forward this email on to as many as you can, and bring everyone you can!

***All promotion booths/tables and solicitation must have permission BEFORE the event.

We look forward to seeing you all there, and all your friends, too!

Sincerely,
Al & Tammy

It was a fantastic experience being with 2,500 like-minded patriots who want nothing more than to save our country from certain destruction. The speakers were inspirational, and gave TRUE hope for the future. They offered up intelligent plans on how to put our government back on track.

I loved all the people (my people) and all the speakers were fantastic. Every one of them were so positive that we were going to prevail that it sends you home with so much hope. There had to be at least 2,000 people there. I loved every minute and wish we could be doing something every day. I sent 20 emails yesterday to the blue dogs and will keep sending to the rest and others after that. It seems that is all we can do now. But I am glad we have so many organizations now helping us. I truly believe that GOOOH is going to be our answer so everyone sign up....we need you.

We really enjoyed all the speakers and appreciate the time they took to come to Wake Up OHIO. My husband and I found like the March on DC the people that went to Wake Up OHIO were very courteous. The time was 3-5 and they really did a wonderful job sticking to the time and not running over which is hard to do. We also like the variety as far as the speakers and the the people that shared their musical talent. It was a wonderful and very uplifting way to have spent the afternoon.

This Meetup Group is for everyone in the Northeast Ohio area, who is concerned with the direction that our Country is heading in. We want to use this site to connect with local people and start a real Grassroots program that can make some real changes. We have started a Book Club in our home, twice a month, everyone is welcome! Please visit the Message Board, and post your thoughts, concerns, ideas, and anything you think others should know about. Let's get together and work, while it is still day, folks, for the night is coming....fast..... GOOOH stands for 'Get Out of Our House' and is pronounced like the word 'go'. It is a NON-PARTISAN plan to evict the 435 career politicians in the U.S. House of Representatives and replace them with everyday Americans just like you. GOOOH is NOT just another political party. It is a system that will allow you and your neighbors to choose, among yourselves, the person who can best represent your district. GOOOH is an evolving system and your input is requested. The questions are changing based on the feedback of members just like you. Participate in the forums, take the survey, and send us your thoughts. This is YOUR system. We will perfect it with your input. If you are tired of career politicians, GOOOH is for you. If you believe money has corrupted Washington, GOOOH is for you. If you believe politicians have too much power, GOOOH is for you. If you are weary of the death grip the two parties have on our government, and are ready to return control of our government to the people, then GOOOH is for you. GOOOH is a new system that will allow "we the people" to select true representatives, not choose between a Democrat and a Republican. If we continue to elect career politicians who represent their party, the special interests that fund them, and themselves, nothing will change. GOOOH is a non-partisan process that will allow us to effect the change we all know we need. GOOOH will allow you to: 1.Help select your Representative - while being considered yourself 2.Hold your Representative accountable 3.Replace career politicians - with true representatives 4.Take the money out of the process. The GOOOH process allows Americans of every political leaning to participate in the selection of their District's Representative while being considered themselves. Through GOOOH's Candidate Selection Sessions you and your peers will select the candidate in your district who best represents your district's views. Even if you do not wish to become your district's representative you will want to participate in the process and have a direct say in who is chosen to represent your district. GOOOH will fund a single national campaign to promote the 435 candidates (one from each district) who are selected to run against the party politicians. Because GOOOH is a process for selecting representatives (not an agenda-based party platform) we expect a very liberal candidate to be selected in San Francisco and a very conservative one in Colorado Springs -- but it will be up to the GOOOH members in each district to decide. For GOOOH to succeed we will need at least 500,000 participants. We will continue to build our base of supporters until we have the participation we need, at which time we will begin our effort to have the GOOOH party added to the ballot in the 50 states and to select our 435 nominees. There are many variables involved in reaching this level of support, but we believe it is only a matter of time. Originally, the founder of GOOOH proposed excluding lawyers, members of political families, and individuals with more than $11.5 million in assets (250 times the median income). They were not to be excluded because they are bad people, but because they are overly represented in government today and, generally speaking, no longer seem to represent the common man. However, based on input from our members, the Question Committee has voted to remove the exclusion of laywers and the wealthy. Instead, it has been decided that members of these two groups must simply declare that they are a lawyer or have more than $11.5m in assets in each Selection Session in which they participate. It will be up to the participants in each pool to decide whether or not that is of concern. We believe this change is indicative of the continuing evolution of the GOOOH system. We hope you will join GOOOH today and help us take our House back from the politicians!
