How is Donald Trump managing to receive $1 million bribes (by a more polite name, of course) for a dinner at his Florida lair?
What is Elon Musk using to offer voters in state elections $1 million for their votes?
How is Vivek Ramaswamy flooding televisions in Ohio with his campaign for governor over a year out from any election?
What is spreading like an epidemic into local races like those for mayor of Boston and New York — with Andrew Cuomo in New York seeming to skirt the rules by using this entity as if it were his campaign, and one billionaire dumping $1 million into attacking a candidate in Boston?

Don Bryant will be speaking about his recent trip to the Palestine Institute for Biodiversity and Sustainability and his local activities for peace and justice in the Middle East. Don was born in 1956 in Maumee, Ohio. In 1980, Don woke up to community activism after attending his first rally, the tenth commemoration of the May 4 shootings of Kent State students by the Ohio National Guard. He then joined a local campaign, Save Our State from Radioactive Waste (SOS). The campaign was a success in halting the US Department of Energy from storing nuclear waste in the salt mines under Lake Erie. During the 1980s, He joined the Nuclear Weapons Freeze Campaign. In 2002, when anti-Muslim bias was rising, Don joined with members of Women Speak Out for Peace and Justice to co-found the Greater Cleveland Immigrant Support Network. He joined the Cleveland Peace Action (CPA) Board of Directors in 2016 and serves as co-chair of the CPA Middle East Committee. Don is now CPA Board president.

On Tuesday, April 22, Indivisible Central Ohio is hosting a Congressional recess event outside Representative Mike Carey’s Columbus office. To date, Rep Carey has been avoiding conversations with constituents, so we will meet at his office and ask again for a meeting with Carey or his staff.
Residents of Ohio’s 15th Congressional District have logged countless calls and requests for meetings with Rep Carey or his staff, but Carey’s office has been avoiding these calls and requests. Concerned Ohioans need access to communicate directly with their elected representatives and Rep Carey and his staff are not honoring this part of their responsibilities.
During this office visit, if Rep Carey and his staff refuse to meet with constituents, Indivisible Central Ohio and constituents in Ohio’s 15th Congressional district will bring signs to show their representative they demand to be heard and will picket outside.
Members of the media are invited to attend to cover this event.
