Action Items for Easter Weekend!

Hello Friends!

Happy holidays to all who celebrate!

H. J. R. No. 1 :

Please call Tom Patton TODAY to tell him not to take away our voice.  If he signs this petition it means he is willing to bypass the committee process in order to raise the threshold for a citizen led ballot initiative to 60%, and put it up to a vote in a special August election that will cost the state $20 million (after they just banned it them in the Voter Suppression Law.)  We need to make some noise about this undemocratic move.

State Representative Tom Patton (district 7)
www.ohiohouse.gov/thomas-f-patton
Columbus, OH 43215
Phone (614)466-4895

This petition is at the clerks office at the Ohio house to have HJR 1 skip the committee process and come straight to the floor for a vote . It need 50 signatures to be go into effect.
H. J. R. No. 1 : will Require a 60% vote to approve any constitutional amendment.
