VOTE NO ON SIN TAX: CLEVELAND WEWS NEWSCHANNEL 5 DELETES COMMENTS BY ACTIVIST CRITICAL OF OUR SPORTS BILLIONAIRES!
LATEST NEWS FROM THE VOTE NO ON SIN TAX CAMPAIGN!
ON APRIL 8, 2014, CLEVELAND, OHIO WEWS NEWSCHANNEL 5 DELETED TWO OF MY POSTS THAT WERE CRITICAL OF OUR SPORTS BILLIONAIRES WITH REFERENCE TO THE SIN TAX WHICH IS UP FOR VOTE, AS ISSUE 7, IN CUYAHOGA COUNTY ON MAY 6, 2014.
NewsChannel 5 had invited the comments in their facebook page.
On the morning of April 9, 2014, I re-posted the two posts with the following comment:
“Hello WEWS News Channel 5: The following two comments with pictures were posted yesterday on 04-08-14. Today (04-09-14) morning they were found deleted. Both comments pertain to my opposition to the Sin Tax (Issue 7 on the May 6, 2014 ballot) and the billionaire owners of our sports teams who are benefiting from the Sin Tax and in the case of Mr. Haslam also from the naming rights. I will appreciate if you will not delete them again. Thanks.”

The graphic stated: "NO TO CORPORATE WELFARE, SIN TAX WILL BENEFIT THE BILLIONAIRE OWNERS OF THE BROWNS THE INDIANS THE CAVALIERS"
POST #2:
In addition to the graphic of the second post, shown below, the following text pertaining to this graphic was also deleted.
