Knock, Knock We Are Here To See The Governor

View of the Governor's Mansion From the Front Gate


(Columbus, Ohio) On Saturday morning a group of concerned citizens, mostly from the Mount Vernon, Ohio area visited the Ohio Governor’s Mansion on Parkview Avenue in Bexley, Ohio prior to joining the Open Ohio Now Rally later in the afternoon. The purpose of the protest was to bring make the protest more personal to the Governor, to bring it home.  It was also to wake up the neighbors to see that there was opposition to the lingering shutdown, which is crippling the economy and killing jobs. The Governor's shutdown is causing more damage than COVID—19 could ever do.

Governor Michael DeWine, "the Divine" was apparently spending the weekend in his real home in Cedarville, Ohio. Unlike in the state of Michigan, where their tyrannical Governor, Gretchen “Heil” Whitmer, DeWine has not restricted movement between one’s homes.

As you can see by the photo below the Governor’s Mansion is beautiful. I is in a very plush neighborhood. This exquisite Spring day brought out joggers, walkers, bicyclists of all sort. They were not shy about giving their middle finger to those protesting. Not many jogging or strolling down Parkview Avenue past the Mansion engaged us, but they had to notice us. I could not help thing that they must be saying to themselves, "how dare these protesters disturb the tranquility of our peaceful ‘burb!"

Pastor Bill and a few of the guys preached about liberty to the AWOL Governor and anyone who would listen. Both Bexley police and Ohio State Highway Patrol were present. The protesters behaved themselves. Cameras and security officers vigilantly guarding an apparently empty house. Someone said there are State Highway Patrolmen on duty at the Governor’s Mansion 24/7.

After spending around sixty minutes at the Mansion the protesters joined the throng at the Statehouse in Downtown Columbus, which was a few miles away.
