An Ohio newspaper, the Sandusky Register, published a list on their online website in 2007 revealing the names of Sandusky conceal and carry permit holders. Though at this time their website states that “The decision to make the lists available to readers was made by the Register’s managing editor” (at this time the managing editor is Karen Mork (on-line editor) and Dan Angelo (editor) but all inquiries are to be directed to Matt Westerhold).

You can view their letter request at http://www.ottawacountysheriff.org/documents/Sandusky%20Register%20request%20for%20CCW%20Information.pdf). The newspaper decided to post this information online clearly in utter disregard for the law. Ohio Revised Code 2923.129 Section B states the following:

The Obama administration appears to have come up with a novel way of financing trillion-dollar budget deficits – demanding IRA and 401(k) holders buy trillions of dollars in Treasury bonds.
With the Treasury needing this year to see another $1 trillion in debt to finance the anticipated federal budget deficit, and the Federal Reserve about to discontinue its 2009 program of buying Treasury bonds for the Fed’s asset portfolio, the Obama administration is scrambling to find ways to sell government debt without having to raise interest rates.

America’s Founding Fathers were afraid of any concentration of power in the republic. They were particularly afraid that banking interests could hijack our fledgling democracy.
And yet today, 234 years later, our Founding Fathers’ worst fears have come true. Wall Street stranglehold on the economy threatens our very prosperity, and the future of a truly democratic republic. Read more... (1579 words, 1 image, estimated 6:19 mins reading time)
