Tuesday, March 23, was a very busy day for our campaign. We met first at noon in the new Salem Community Center to speak to the Salem Rotary Club about the book I wrote, “Tarawa – the Aftermath.” They had about 35 people attending and the World War II Pacific topic was timely. Jack Russell hosted us for the event.
Alex Mangie and I then set out for South Point, Ohio, about a 5-hour drive to our southern end of this district for the Lawrence County Republican Lincoln Day Dinner. The number of candidates present didn’t allow time for all to speak, but I was able to meet just about everyone present, and there were well over 200 people there. We provided a cat basket full of feline items and a signed copy of my book for their door prizes. It was a very productive day for our campaign.

For Immediate Release: March 22, 2010

Congressman Charlie Wilson and House Democrats Defy the will of the people yet again.

Boardman, Ohio (March 22, 2010)—On Sunday, our House of Representatives passed a bill that is supposed to stem the cost of healthcare in the United States of America. When asked about the vote, Dr. Donald Allen, a Republican candidate for Ohio’s Sixth District, stated, “I am really disappointed in Congressman Charlie Wilson and his colleagues in the House of Representatives. Nothing shows more how out of touch our Congress has become than when Cong. Wilson, Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats voted for this budget busting bill that does nothing to curb the cost of healthcare, punishes business and individuals for not offering or retaining healthcare insurance and adds 16,000 jobs to the IRS to ensure compliance with the bill. Since when does our government get to demand that we purchase anything? Since when do we allow our government to punish citizens for making a personal choice in regards to their own health and well being? I have talked to many people throughout Ohio and beyond and I must say that if Congressman Wilson and Speaker Pelosi were listening to the will of the people, they were not listening to the people of Ohio’s Sixth District and many other districts throughout the United States.”

Visibly disappointed, Dr. Donald Allen also added, “This country is in need of real common sense leadership. This bill should have never left committee as it is written. It is a shame when the only bipartisan support that could be garnered was against this bill. The time for sitting on the sidelines is over. We all need to get up and take a stand against this type of nonsense. We may not have been able to convince our current leaders that this type of spending and government overreach is wrong, but we can ensure that the new leaders that we elect in November have common sense and will repeal this bill once in office, if the courts do not deem it unconstitutional first.”

Well folks it has been an amazing week and I have never been more excited for November 2nd.


Yesterday we spent the whole day visiting Republicans in beautiful Ironton Ohio. We started out around 6am and arrived in town at 11:30.it was good to see Mayor Blankenship. We talked about healthcare reform, the EPA and bringing jobs to Southern Ohio.


I also was able to catch up with Chairman Dutey outside of a pancake breakfast. We talked about the Lincoln Day Dinner next week and some of the plans we have for Lawrence County.


But I didn’t travel all the way to Ironton just to meet with party officials and mayors. I spent the later half of the day walking around, meeting with voters and listening to their concerns. Bob Allen, our county chair, took some of our signs. If you live in Lawrence county and would like a yard sign please email me and I will give Bob your information.


I will be back in Ironton on Tuesday afternoon for the Lincoln Day Dinner and I will be making another trip in the near future. As always if you would like to have a meet n’ greet just let me know!

This last week was topped off with the Boardman St. Patrick’s Day Parade, on Sunday afternoon. Although drizzle and rain came and went during the parade, we still had a great time and there were thousands of people in attendance.


Big thanks to John Blue for putting together our float, to the Teen-Age Republicans (TARS) for coming out to walk with us and hand out literature and candy, as well as everyone else who accompanied us in the parade. We gathered afterward at Republican Headquarters for pizza and to dry out.


Here are a few pictures from the events this past week.

Well folks I am taking a few minutes to update you all on what I have been doing this past week.

On Monday I visited the Jefferson County Federation of Republican Women and the Franciscan University College Republicans. Both organizations have very strong membership and their members are looking forward to helping the campaign.


Tuesday, I stopped at the Athens County GOP Executive meeting. As always the party had quite an aggressive agenda, I believe we are going see a real change for the better in Athens County this year. This was followed by a get-together with the Ohio University College Republicans. There were over 30 people at the first meeting, and I sat down with eight of the students at the Oak Room for discussion.


Thursday, Paula and I attended the Washington County Lincoln Day Dinner in Marietta. The food was amazing and the fellowship even better. Many familiar faces where their and I want to thank Lorena Feathers for all the work she is doing for us in the Washington County area.


Friday (last night), My Staff and I traveled to Athens County’s Annual Lincoln Day Dinner. Rob Portman was the main speaker and he did an excellent job of getting us all ready to fight for the Republican Party in 2010.


Tonight I will travel again down south. This time to Gallia County for their Lincoln Day Dinner. Josh Mandel will be speaking. I have met him several times, including when he was the key note speaker with me at the Youngstown TEA Party last year.


Till next time,


Dr. Allen

Thursday Night I traveled with Paula and one of my staff to Undo’s Restaurant in St. Clairsville. We were invited by Kent Moore, on behalf of The East Ohio GOP Chairman’s Association. This Association helps unite those counties on the eastern edge of Ohio including: Mahoning, Columbiana, Jefferson, Belmont, Washington, Noble and Monroe. The dinner was a good chance to meet with all the county chairs and let them know about the progress which has been made by our campaign.

Tuesday night I traveled three and a half hours south to Meigs County for their Annual Lincoln Day Dinner at Meigs High School. The event was a huge success for Chairman Warner and the county party; there were over 300 people in attendance. It was a great opportunity to see familiar faces and make some new friends.


Everyone was really happy to see such a great turnout. John Kasich was the keynote speaker, and gave quite an inspiring speech. He really has a great vision for Ohio and I believe he will restore Ohio to her former glory. He needs all our votes for governor.

While talking to people last night I was surprised how many brought up the power plant they lost due to the EPA and its power, which our current representative has ignored. When I was in Meigs County last year, many were excited at the prospect of having some new industry brought into their county. After listening to their frustrations regarding the lack of any progress on their behalf, I am more than ready to do everything I can to stop this nonsense.


It’s time we remove the power arbitrarily given to the EPA by this administration, not to mention other government agencies, and start making our hard-earned dollars work FOR us. As I have promised the good people in Meigs County and throughout the rest of Ohio’s 6th District, I will use common sense while in Washington and make sure that when I support legislation, I support legislation which is beneficial for our district and country.


Next week I will be in Washington, Athens, and Gallia Counties for their Lincoln Day Dinners. I look forward to sharing my ideas for common sense representation with the people of those counties.
