The Redistricting Amendment Petitions
are in Clermont County!
Let's get the fox out of the
henhouse!
Voter's First is an amendment that
puts a non-partisan commission of Ohioans in charge of drawing lines for
legislative districts. It’s open. It’s honest. It’s fair. Learn more at http://votersfirstohio.org/
Would love to have you volunteer to collect signatures.
Clermont County goal is 6,307 signatures by July 3rd! We need more
signatures for this referendum as it is to amend the Ohio Constitution and not
to overturn or repeal a house or senate bill.
Marcia Oganowski is our lead coordinator for this petition
drive. THANK YOU MARCIA!
To sign up and help contact Marcia.
The more volunteers we have the less signatures we all need to
get. If we have 34 circulators who work to get 3 signatures a day from May
until June 30, we can make our goal. Doesn't sound so difficult does
it? Sign up to help, aim for 3 signatures a day -
EASY!
IMPORTANT EVENT: Frontier Days
Parade: We can probably get 1,000 signatures at the Frontier Days
Fair and the best day and time is working the parade route BEFORE the parade
begins. We need at least 20 circulators to accomplish this! If you
are willing to help us on this one day, please help! The Parade is
Thursday, May 31. The parade starts at 6:30 pm so we be
collecting signatures from 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm. Please
contact Marcia! The fair is May 31-June
3rd. After the parade, we would like to set up stations at the entry
points to collect signatures. We feel being stationed at the entries on
Friday (June 1st) and Saturday (June 2nd) from 2 pm to 8 pm would
prove beneficial, second to the parade.

Restore Ohio Weekend VotingThey're at it again. They are also up to their old tricks to stop you this November from making it easier and more convenient to vote. Democracy shouldn't be this hard, but these extremists don't want you to vote. They passed a law last year to close the window of opportunity to vote early or by absentee. We didn’t take this voter suppression sitting down. Hundreds of thousands of voters collected signatures to repeal this law just like we did last year with Senate Bill 5, the unfair, unsafe attack on us all. Now, these politicians are saying Senate Bill 295 will repeal the anti-voting rights law, but the truth is it won't. You still will not be able to vote on the weekend and Monday prior to Election Day. In 2008, tens of thousands of voters cast their ballots, but this year the voting booths will be padlocked on those days. SB 295 continues to limit voting rights and opportunities for all voters and is NOT a true repeal. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Support our view of freedom or we’ll throw your lying, anti-patriotic ass in jail
You hear a lot of talk about patriotism and freedom in an election year. Each side of a political contest claims a monopoly on both buzzwords. But do those who bandy about claims of freedom and patriotism really understand either concept? One would hope they do but based on the way too many use...
