Are you sure that’s the United Way?
The Butler County United Way is warning Butler County residents someone — or more than one person — maybe attempting to solicit door-to-door donations.
United Way officials say: Don’t do this.
United Way officials say the Butler County Sheriff’s office in Liberty Twp. has been made aware of the issue. They say there’s been “a recent string of residential robberies involving an individual soliciting door-to-door for donations to United Way.”
Anyone in Liberty Twp. who’s been contacted by a person representing themselves as collecting for the United Way should contact the Butler County Sheriff’s office at (513) 785-1300.
If anyone outside of Liberty Twp. has been contacted, they should contact their police department or the sheriff’s office.

TweetDear Mr. Boehner
The Liberty Groups of the 8th Congressional District collectively sent a letter to Speaker of the House John Boehner. The letter is critical of what the groups see as Boehner, R-West Chester Twp., not following through on a promise of reducing the national debt, which stands now at more than $14.1 trillion.
According to the letter, the Liberty Groups — which consist of tea party, liberty and conservative groups — are expressing “extreme disappointment in your choice to bring a bill to the floor and support a bill that will raise our nation’s debt ceiling.”
Boehner has said that failing to raise the debt ceiling would spell “financial disaster.”
That are your thoughts?
Here’s the letter:
Dear Congressman Boehner,
Ohio’s Eighth Congressional District is one of the most conservative parts of Ohio, if not the country. It is home to over 10 Liberty groups with thousands of members. Liberty groups from all over District Eight have united together, working to secure fiscal responsibility, limited Constitutional government and free markets in the United States.
The constituents of District Eight are proud to have you as our Congressman and as Speaker of the House. We wish you success.
As this letter is written, our national debt stands at $14,141,191,885,778.34. This debt limits the success of our children and grandchildren, and straps them with a future burden to pay for your leadership decisions. The accumulation of debt has to stop.
We are writing to express our extreme disappointment in your choice to bring a bill to the floor and support a bill that will raise our nation’s debt ceiling. Raising the debt ceiling is in direct conflict with the platform that you and the Republicans in Congress ran on in November. The Pledge to America states, “Instead of pushing off our long-term fiscal challenges, we will reform the budget process to ensure that Congress begins making the decisions that are necessary to protect our entitlement programs for today’s seniors and future generations.”
The liberty groups in District Eight hope you share our concerns regarding the negative impact on our countries economic future that more debt will create. We request your assurances, that you will fulfill your promises in the Pledge to America and not push off the tough fiscal challenges that face us. Raising the debt ceiling is not facing a problem; it is simply putting it off for another day.
We are anticipating your leadership in finding solutions to our long-term fiscal challenges.
Sincerely, The Liberty Groups of District 8
