Pro-Life Teen Barred from Receiving Honor by Ohio House Speaker

the refusal amounted to "teaching young people that the answer is to silence those who disagree with us."

Get used to it, it's the "Progressive" way. That is to say the Communist way.

[Dan Middleton]

I’ve worked with this fine young lady on campaigns in both Ohio and Virginia. Kudos to her for winning the honor, regardless of Speaker Budish’s classless behavior.

I have nothing else to say about Budish or this story that is suitable for a polite audience.

[FrdmLvr]

Wonder how Buckeye fans like his Michigan colors.

That's a picture of Gov. Strickland (also a Rat). Here is Budish:

Dear Speaker,

I am writing in hopes that you will reconsider your decision not to allow Elizabeth Tisler to receive recognition for her oratory award due to her pro-life views.

You are setting a poor precedent and that fact that even the ACLU objects to your position should attest to that.

I hope that this type of censorship - for that is what it is, censorship - will be opposed by the office of the Speaker; not encouraged.

Is it your position that only speakers who hold your views can be recognized for oratory awards?

The fact that she is a minor makes the slight even more offensive.

Here's another picture of the perp:

[Teotwawki]

consistent with precedent that such a presentation should not be used as a platform for a specific political agenda.

But by denying her this honor that she has earned, he is using his platform for a specific political agenda.

[Mad Dawgg]

This is what we get for electing that RINO Taft all those years ago. That mess got us to where we have liberals clogging up the halls of power with their biased crap.

Hopefully we have learned our lesson and will oust the liberals and elect solid Conservatives to clean up this mess!

[Faith]

I sent my message to the dear Speaker. I urge everyone else to do the same. The contact info is at the end of the article.

But by denying her this honor that she has earned, he is using his platform for a specific political agenda.

But, as a liberal, Budish's free speech is protected.

Ms. Trisler's is not.

[Quix]

Lord, God Almighty,

please bring him to confession and repentance.

If he will not, please remove him from power ASAP.

[Rich Knight]

Is there video of the award-winning speech available?

[Las Vegas Dave]

Ping list members, this is a non-ping list topic ping that may be of importance to you!

I have copied and pasted the contact information for your information and/or of possible use..

I guess freedom of speech did not extend to the Ohio state legislature.

[Rome2000]

How in the hell did we arrive at this point in this once great country...

They outlawed dueling.

[newfreep]

That’s the Ohio Gov (pervert)...and a practicing homosexual with a beard “wife”. No doubt, his “position” influenced the decision.

[verga]

Huh??? the ACLU???? Well even a broken clock is right twice a day

Actually they bat about 25% for our side. They supported Limbaugh on several occasions and they frequesntly support Students that want to start Republican and conservative political clubs on various campuses.

Most often it is the goofy stuff that makes the news.

[rawhide]

Is there a link to this young woman’s winning speech on the internet anywhere? I would like to hear it.
