WE’RE STILL CATCHING UP, SO
THIS E-DITION IS FOR SATURDAY, AUGUST 05, 2023
TRUMP’S NINE-HUNDRED-AND-TWENTY-SEVENTH DAY OUT-OF-OFFICE
AND NOW WITH ONLY 03 DAYS UNTIL WE CAN VOTE AGAINST THE D-RATS BABY KILLER’S BILL IN OHIO
|
On Tuesday, August 8, Ohioans have a chance to tell out-of-state special interests that our Constitution is not for sale.
Unlike the U.S. Constitution, the Ohio Constitution can be easily changed. Currently, only a simple majority vote of the electorate—50 percent plus one vote—is required to amend Ohio’s governing document, making it one of the easiest in the country to manipulate.
Because of the low threshold to amend the Ohio Constitution, Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry are attempting to pass an amendment this year to legalize abortion up to birth in our state. The low threshold to amend the Constitution also puts Ohio businesses at risk. There was another proposed amendment sent to the Ohio Attorney General that would raise Ohio’s minimum wage to $15 an hour over the next few years.
Increasing the threshold for passing these citizen initiated proposals would create stronger safeguards for Ohio’s legislative processes.
A YES Vote On Issue 1 Would:
- Elevate the threshold to amend the state Constitution to 60 percent of the vote in an election.
- Require that signatures be collected from all of Ohio’s 88 counties—instead of just 44—for a proposed Constitutional amendment initiative to make the ballot.
- Ensure that all valid signatures for a proposed Constitutional amendment be submitted on the specified due date, and that additional signatures cannot be submitted after the deadline.
