Keep Christa Criddle on State Central Committee

From my own personal experience- the Iranian people are great people! It's their government that does not allow them to speak their truth.

Final post on the election:

The first thing I want to say is that I wouldn't trade all the friends and volunteers that stepped up to support Burr & I, for the world. THAT is what I consider to be the real victory in all of this. I got to work with a wonderful counterpart- Burr Robinson. What a great man. If you didn't get to know him before, I encourage you to do so.

I also want to say that I always stayed true to me and stayed with my principles. I always spoke the truth. I call it as I see it. There is never any pretense with me and I will never BS you. I gave up my job over this- I don't regret that at all- never did. Win or lose, I will never be one to cave in to political pressures and strong arm tactics. I have been this way for the past 45 years, I'll be this way I am sure for 45 more.

Now history- back at the end of 2013, I had several friends/acquaintances ask me if I was planning to run for SCC again. At the time, I told them I really didn't know. It gets tiring constantly banging my head against a wall and dealing the past 2 years with people at the ORP that I truly didn't trust (for good reason). I also know too much about how things REALLY are up there and at some point it will crash and burn- and I wanted to be off the committee before that happens.

I knew they hated me up there because I was not a rubber stamp and was one of the only ones willing to stand up and try to hold them accountable to the voters. These friends/acquaintances asked and sometimes begged me to run to keep fighting for them.

Because of this I decided to file. I knew they (ORP/Kasich) would recruit someone to run against me, but decided I would not just hand it over to them. If they want it, they would at the very least have to work for it and spend a ton of money to get it done. And I planned to work hard but have a lot of fun with it.

Mission Accomplished- she spent probably over $12,000 on this race- and I enjoyed every minute of it!

I always had the attitude that, if I win, I win and would continue to speak up for conservatives here in SW Ohio. If I lose, I still (personally) win because I wouldn't have to deal with their crap anymore. The past 2 years, I hated being there. The committee prior to the 2012 coup was actually a good place to be. While I did not agree with Kevin DeWine on everything- and he always KNEW when I didn't- I at least felt that he would listen and tried to be there for ALL candidates. He also had a very competent team with a lot of experience in those jobs of Exec. Dir, Political Dir, etc. People were put there because of their skills and not because they were the henchmen of a certain official (and completely incompetent for such a job).

If history repeats from those recruited in the 2012 coup- those they recruited will be disillusioned soon enough and CF will see that she was used by them and also that she will NOT be able to "stop Obamacare" or create jobs" as she claimed when running. (I still don't think she understands what the SCC is). She will be expected to sit quietly, don't ask questions, fall in line and vote for everything they put in front of her without question.

I HONESTLY (and I mean this) do hope that she, as a CPA (did any of you realize she was a CPA???), will actually take a close look at their balance sheet and finances. She should understand it (like I did). It should be eye opening for her. I wonder if she will speak up like I did. She claimed to be all about solutions---- good luck with that!-- though she should be prepared to be facing her OWN ORP-backed opponent in the 2 years if she does indeed speak up.

I am not going to be optimistic that she will speak up though. She likes her board positions and titles too much.

For the sake of the State Party- and the country in 2016, I hope we get it together but not too optimistic with what I have seen. It is a shame. Here, we DO have it together and we have a Chairman who understands that you should let the people decide the primary AND TRUE Conservatives are NOT the enemy. I will continue to work with our local Conservative Republican candidates here in Hamilton County (because I believe in the candidates- NOT because I expect something in return).

Thanks again for the support!! See you out on the campaign trail!

Before I go to bed- exhausted-- I want to say that I HONESTLY had so much fun with this campaign. I enjoyed every bit of it-- this is what I do for fun after all. I am going to frame the hit piece. Thought it was hilarious- and how many folks can say they had a hit piece put out on them?

I loved getting to know Burr- what a wonderful man- truly.

I feel so blessed and honored by all of you who were supporting me- many behind the scenes- you know who you are and it will NOT be forgotten.

I can hold my head high knowing I have not sacrificed my principles for anything. I had said from the beginning of this that if I win, I win. If I dont- I still win because it really gets tiring banging my head against a wall up there sometimes. But we ran a thorough grassroots campaign. I met some WONDERFUL people going door to door. We had close to 50 volunteers for a SCC race! Which is unheard of! THAT means much more to me than anything. And those who know me know i don't BS anyone. I really mean it.

I will CONTINUE to work hard for the Hamilton County Republican Party- like I have always done. We have big races in the fall that we need to win.

One final note- I DID win Precinct Executive for Wyoming B! I won in my neighborhood of Wyoming and most importantly- I beat my opponent in her OWN precinct! - despite her having spent probably close to $15,000 on the race.

I had put all of this into God's hands- whatever his plan...my job, selling the house and this race. We have sold the house!! Working on getting the job (figure I will end up where I am supposed to) and I am totally at peace with the race. No regrets at all.

I have been true to me and in the end that is all that will ever matter.

THANKS AGAIN TO ALL!!

Yay! Had a few more shifts covered by volunteers who stepped up to help! Still have a couple of slots we want to get someone. Please give us a few hours. Help us with the REAL Ohio Conservative Comeback!

05/05/2014

HONORED to have just gotten word of my endorsement by Buckeye Fi****ms Association PAC! "the right of the people to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED"!

05/05/2014

Great response so far in helping at the polls. Thanks for those who have stepped up. It would really make my day to cover just SIX KEY shifts left at a couple of locations! (though have more we would like covered).
Can you take a few hours before work, during lunchtime or after work to help keep the RiNOs off the State Central Committee!! Message me!

05/05/2014

ONE MORE DAY! Looks to be a perfect day to stand outside of a poll! Fresh air, talking to great people, helping Conservatives!
If you can give a few hours at a poll for Burr & I, message me ASAP so I can get the supplies to you! We always have polls that need covered!

As I was going D2D today talking to voters, I ran into several of my fellow "bureaucrats" (I prefer public servants)- who got her hit piece on me and were offended because they said that she must be talking about them too since they had worked in public service.
So in honor of that hit piece-I am calling on all fellow "Bureaucrats" to unite!

If you are currently (or formerly) a Fireman, Police Officer, Teacher, Local Government employee, lifeguard at a Rec pool, State Government employee, elected official, County employee, member of our Armed Forces or any other person who has (according to my opponent) been "lining [our] pockets with [your] money" and "spent years taking taxpayer dollars for a government job"...

RISE UP, SPEAK UP and join in supporting a fellow, proud (former) PUBLIC SERVANT and cast your vote...

FOR CHRISTA CRIDDLE for STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE!

05/04/2014

Taking a look at the HYPOCRITICAL campaign that my opponent has run.

You saw the lit piece she sent out yesterday (she didn't even have the pair to put her name on it but it was sent using her BUSINESS address. Such a nice reflection on Cooney, Faulkner & Stevens. One mail piece a friend got was sent out in a Cooney, Faulkner, & Stevens business envelope. I wonder how their clients feel about this?

So hypocritical.
In public- she posts pictures in front of her at the Easter Brunch at her Country Club, and said at the Norwood Republican Club that she was "offended" because I said she wasn't a real Republican (all while trying to defend her donations to liberals Seelbach, Sittenfeld, Mallory and Pepper).

Her Campaign FB Status April 23 "We must elect leaders for the Republican Party and State Central Committee who are positive and focus on solutions and results! Not people that are negative and divisive!"

Saying she will "I will lead with integrity that will help unify our party."

Hmmm- I guess her "principles" changed- NOT SURPRISED since she really hasn't stuck to them before.

In her rants on Twitter she says "Real leaders run on their own credentials. I am the real the real thing! I don't hide behind Facebook or Twitter accounts.".... no she hides behind mailers and refuses to debate in public. She blocks people who dissent.

-- I, on the other hand, have never hidden behind anything! I think I have been PRETTY OPEN and upfront in this whole thing- I am who I say I am and I don't think anyone who knows me thinks anything different. Pretty open book.

I challenged her to an open debate- she ignored it.

Who is REALLY the one hiding? She will face the voters on Tuesday. Speak up and speak loud.

VOTE CRIDDLE & ROBINSON for State Central Committee!!

05/04/2014

I would think that if I was "standing in the way of Ohio's Conservative Comeback"- CCV Action PAC would not have sent out the following message:

"There is a crucial race going on in your district! Christa Criddle and Douglas Robinson are running to be your State Central Committee members from District 9 (each district chooses one male and one female SCC member).

Criddle and Robinson are conservatives who stand in stark contrast to their opponents.

Please stand with Christa and Douglas, and Vote Christa Criddle and Douglas Robinson for State Central Committee on Tuesday May 6th.

Please encourage your family and friends to do the same.
