From our good friend Troy J Greenfield
“Ohio Legislators passed SJR2 this week to increase the requirement from 50% +1% to 60% to pass a Citizen Led Constitutional Amendment.
Now, there will be a special election on August 8th, Which Sucks!
Not to Worry, We will get out the vote in August and Win!
The majority of Ohioans agree that reproductive medical decisions should be between you and your Doctor, not state legislators.”
