Hi everybody,
We have posted a short YouTube video of Ohio Supreme Court Justice Evelyn L. Stratton thanking all of her supporters and honoring all of you, as Circuit Riders For Stratton, during swearing-in ceremonies for her and Justice Maureen O'Connor on January 12th. http://www.youtube.com/OhioCircuitRider.
You can read the official Ohio Supreme Court Media Release (no mention of Circuit Riders!) and view the entire ceremony here:

With your support, Circuit Riders For Stratton rode 13,170 miles and attended 107 events in all 88 counties in six months. Our Harley flags and a montage of Circuit Rider photos, that were presented by Justice Stratton's supporters from Clinton County, now hang in places of honor in her chambers at the Ohio Supreme Court.
Justice Stratton publicly credits her Circuit Riders for bringing in 750,000 votes (30% of her total vote). Justice Stratton won in 87 counties and Justice O'Connor, a Cuyahoga County native, carried all 88 counties. Justice O'Connor was the top vote getter in Ohio with more votes than President Obama. Justice Stratton was right up there with both presidential candidates in voter tallies, as well.
Thanks to all of you, more individual Ohioans were personally contacted by two state supreme court justices, though their campaigns and Circuit Riders For Stratton, than at any other time in modern day Ohio. Our message of 'Fair Justice For Every Ohioan' rang true.
Thank you!
Ride Safe . . . Ride On!
