BLUE BUSINESSES IN MEDINA COUNTY

When the national buyblue.com website recently ceased operations, progressives lost a valuable resource. The site was a one-stop-shop of information for those wishing to vote with their pocketbook, and support companies that operate in a socially conscious manner. There are still a few online resources available, such as buybluecolorado.org, which researches companies based in Colorado or with a large Colorado presence, to inform consumers about whether these companies operate in line with progressive values. Ohio does not have a buyblue presence on the web, but maybe Medina County can. I would like to compile a list of businesses, and service providers, sympathetic to progressive causes. There is no reason to financially support businesses or service-providers who simply take our hard-earned money, and support local republican candidates with it. If you are a proud democrat, and adhere to progressive values, and you operate a business or offer a service, we want to know about it. We want to support you! Please email your name and business or service, to markk@deepcleveland.com. The list will eventually be circulated via the Medina County Democratic Action Committee. -- Mark Kuhar
