I hope everyone has a very nice Palm Sunday today. Oh, and for those of you who celebrate Easter today, Happy Easter!And...
Rob Portman has raised $3 million so far in his quest to succeed Sen. Voinovich in the United States Senate. Is anyone surprised by this? Not me. Rob Portman is the gold-standard in politics and his knowledge of issues combined with his tremendous political skill make him a great national Republican leader. Rob is working very hard across our state to raise money and to prepare for a tremendous 2010 campaign. Rob clearly "won" the first test of this long campaign by beating everyone in fundraising nearly 2 to 1. Way to go Rob! To read the Enquirer story about Rob's fundraising, click here.

Our Precinct Power Program is getting organized and off to a great start. We have identified our 50 "power precincts" where we believe we can get enhanced Republican turnout and we are now getting information to those precinct executives. Pat Fischer, the Chairman of the Precinct Power Program, is preparing our training manual and has been instrumental in getting this program moving. We can make a difference in elections in Hamilton County one precinct at a time.

Our Committee 2010 is poised to meet again soon to continue its work of identifying future leaders in our party and enhancing their chances of winning races in Hamilton County. I am confident that this committee can help us identify strategies to help our "farm team" in the outlying townships, cities and villages win races everywhere.

I had breakfast with the co-chair of our Republican Leadership Council, Catherine Smith Mills, last week. Catherine is doing great work for the Council and that group is instrumental to our Youth Outreach effort including our scholarship program. Special thanks to Catherine and her entire group for their hard work.

George Zamary and Amy Murray, two new faces to the GOP ticket for city council, will be on 55KRC's City Talk Radio tonight from 7:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. I will join them. Tune in to hear about their vision for the city.

Tough loss for the Miami Redhawks last night in the Frozen Four.

Make sure to attend the Cincinnati Tea Party on tax day, Wednesday, April 15 at 11:30 on Fountain Square. I will be there to support this group. Although this group is officially non-partisan, I believe that the future of our party is with those who seek to promote a fiscally conservative agenda for government. Our leaders in Washington need to continue to be the voices of fiscally sanity, and the GOP will once again lead the country.
And...
Have a great Sunday!
