Cleveland, OH—On Monday, June 16, 2008, Members of the Ohio Delegation will participate in a Congressional field hearing of the Financial Services Housing and Community Opportunity Subcommittee to address the growing problem of subprime lending and foreclosures in Ohio.

The event will consist of a hearing featuring two panel discussions on the various issues facing the housing community in Ohio and solutions on how to address those issues. Additionally, workout sessions will be taking place concurrently where mortgage providers will be available to answer questions from the public about loan modification and other foreclosure prevention methods. In addition, housing counselors will assist borrowers and provide information about mortgages.

Nationally, the number of seriously delinquent loans and new foreclosures in January and February of this year was over 2.1 million, an increase of 8 percent over the previous quarter and a 55 percent increase from a year earlier. Ohio ranked fourth in foreclosures last year with filings climbing approximately 30 percent between 2005 and 2007.

This event is free and open to the public. Those seeking assistance from counseling agencies should bring copies of all relevant documents with them to the event.

Event Details:

The Denver Post reports that Colorado House Rep. Dianne Primavera has introduced HB 1372 to create a state fund to support the collection of umbilical cord blood for stem cell treatment and research. When a child is born, the blood that is in the umbilical cord is rich with young stem cells. Normally this becomes medical waste, but a physician can draw the blood from the cord to be analyzed and preserved for later use. For many diseases a cord blood transfusion can replace the long painful process of a bone marrow transplant. This type of stem cell research is much less controversial but drastically underfunded.

Parents can pay private companies (such as Viacord) to store cord blood for their children, or they can freely donate for public use. Some hospitals have started asking laboring moms if they would like to donate their child's cord blood because the supply is so low. It just amazes me that because the phrase "stem cells" has gotten a negative connotation, a wonderful life-saving process is being ignored...

Event Details: John Patrick Carney has been going door to door for awhile, but now is the time for our volunteer supporters to take the message of leadership, innovation and character to voters throughout the 22nd district.

We are also proud to announce the opening of our campaign headquarters at 3886 N High St in the heart of Clintonville. Please join us and bring friends!

Event Details:

If the Obama camp exploited this one line from the page on education policy on McCain's website, he could have the vote of every educator... Typical republican, expecting everyone to be able to pull themselves up by their bootstraps at a whim, defining issues by pointing fingers. Want to fix schools? Fund them properly! You wouldn't expect a hospital to treat every person the same way, you can expect a school to educate everyone the same way. Schools don't have the resources for individualized differentiated instruction, and that is what will get results.

"As president, John McCain will pursue reforms that address the underlying cultural problems in our education system - a system that still seeks to avoid genuine accountability and responsibility for producing well-educated children."

Event Details:

Join Ohio First Lady Frances Strickland for a fundraiser on behalf of Jane Mitakides, Democratic candidate for Congress in Ohio's 3rd Congressional District. The event will take place at the home of Jean Woodhull, 1200 Runnymede Rd, Dayton, OH 45419.

Admission fees are on a tiered system:
