COAST takes Red Light Camera Campaign to Toledo, Cleveland and Garfield Heights

After huge wins against Red Light and Speeding cameras in 2008 in Cincinnati and 2009 in Heath and Chillicothe, Ohio, on February 6 COAST Chairman Jason Gloyd presented its victories to an audience in Cleveland, where residents from Cleveland and Garfield Heights pledged to pass petitions to ban the pernicious devices in their communities.  COAST has pledged legal and logistical support for the effort.  COAST has also committed to helping Toledo get the issue on the ballot there in 2010. 

Cleveland Plain Dealer Columnist Regina Brett says, "The problem I have with the cameras is they make me a jittery driver. Every time I drive down Cedar Hill into downtown Cleveland, I have to time it just right. If the light even tries to turn yellow, I hit the brakes so the camera won't nail me. One day, I hit my brakes and so did the guy behind me. But the guy behind him didn't.

COAST takes Cleveland by storm!

Gloyd presents on trash tax and red light cameras
to Cuyahoga County for Liberty & Libertarian Party of Cuyahoga County
this Saturday

COAST Chairman Jason Gloyd is the keynote speaker this coming Saturday, February 6, 2010, before a conference entitled "The Power of Coalitions" hosted by Cuyahoga County for Liberty and the Libertarian Party of Cuyahoga County. 

Gloyd's speech will address successful efforts of COAST in coalition-building to fight the rapid encroachment of government into every area of our lives, and in particular will address the defeat of the Super-Sized Jail Sales Tax, the state-wide fight against Red Light Cameras and the defeat of the trash tax (so far) in the City of Cincinnati.

The conference is free to attendees and is to be held 11:30am to 4:00pm in the Beachland Ballroom, 15711 Waterloo Road, Cleveland, OH 44110.  Those interested may call Cuyahoga county for Liberty at 216-503-2238 for more information.
