Contact your members of the House: vote NO

From the Comments Section:

Last week, the House of Representatives rejected H.R. 9495, dangerous and unconstitutional legislation that would give the incoming Trump administration the power to unilaterally shut down nonprofit organizations it doesn't like, with no due process. But just days later, House Republicans are bringing it back for a vote. 

This bill is part and parcel of the MAGA assault on democracy and fundamental freedoms, and it must be defeated again.

We sent over 20,000 messages opposing this bill last week — and it failed on the House floor.

Email your members of Congress now and demand that they vote NO on H.R. 9495.

To those in Ohio

If you live in *Ohio* you should have voted "no" by now. But, if you haven't you still have till the end of Aug 8th! Time to search up your poll site and get going!

(But, don't feel bad if this caught you off guard, Ohio Republicans are hoping no one will show up to vote. That's why this election is at an abnormal time of the year when no one is home.)

Vote NO on issue 1. It's a strange constitutional amendment that changes the threshold to make it possible for a small group to veto everything. It's the only thing on the ballot. (Though really vote however you want, look up issue 1 and see what you think. It sounds obscure, but it's more important than it looks. I'm personally convinced a "no" vote is best.)

honestly bummed to see so many people hyping up the UPS contract that's up for a vote because yeah they totally fooled me too until I heard from actual UPS workers about how the contract is insufficient and workers were shut out of the process of shaping the contract because it was done through closed-door negotiations under NDA between the company and a disconnected corporatized union

Hey fellow Ohioans, don't forget to vote NO on issue 1 today! It's nothing but a republican power grab to prevent us from putting reproductive rights on the ballot in the fall. Please join me in voting NO!

Are you in Ohio? Are you outside Ohio but know a voter there? Today is Election Day for Part One of a two stage process to determine whether Ohio will protect Reproductive Freedom.

tl;dr – Vote No on today's August ballot measure and vote yes on the November measure: August NO — November YES.

There is a lot of interest in this election. If Ohio voters reverse the gerrymandered GOP legislature's decision to ban almost all abortions, Ohio will become the largest state to do so since the regressive Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization ruling by SCOTUS last year.

You can usually tell how much interest there is in an election by the amount of early voting. Early voting has been brisk in Ohio.

Almost 700,000 Ohioans cast ballots in the early voting period leading up to the Aug. 8 special election on the constitutional amendment to make it harder to pass future amendments. More than 118,000 Ohioans have voted early, either by mail or in person, during the last three days of early voting alone on Issue 1. Early absentee ballots began to be sent out on June 23, and the first ballots were returned five days later. Since then, 696,905 Ohioans have voted early by mail or in person at county early voting centers. That’s already more than the 638,708 Ohioans who voted in the legislative primary last August. And it's more than twice the around 289,000 Ohioans who voted early in the primaries in May 2022, in which seven Republicans and three Democrats were running for their parties' nominations for US Senate and both parties also had contested primaries for governor.

If you've received a mail-in ballot but neglected to mail it, you can still deliver it TODAY in person to your election board.

There are about 68,000 ballots that have been mailed to voters that haven't been returned. If they are, they'll be added into the early vote totals. Anyone who has voted their ballot and hasn't mailed it by now should hand deliver it to their local board of elections. They can be deposited into secure drop boxes at those locations. Polls open at 6:30 a.m. Tuesday and close at 7:30 p.m.

State elections, state legislatures, and state constitutions have been neglected far too long by liberals.

Vote No on Issue 1 Aug 8th

If you live in Ohio, we have a very important vote coming up on August 8th. Issue no.1 on the ballot would get rid of the majority vote. Ohio lawmakers want to make an amendment to the Ohio constitution that would drastically change the majority vote from a simple majority to 60%. This will make it harder for voters to use direct democracy and to create change within the community!

If you live in Ohio, you need to vote no on issue no.1. It gives a small number of voters, 41 percent, the power to block initiatives that the majority wants.

Vote No in August

Vote NO in August to defeat Issue 1 - a constitutional amendment that would end Majority Rule and empower special interests

Issue 1 is a proposed constitutional amendment that seeks to raise the threshold for passing all future constitutional amendments from a simple majority to 60%. It is gaining national attention as a political power grab intended to change the rules and rob Ohio voters of their voice.

A CBS News investigation found the effort behind Issue 1 in Ohio is "one flank in a coordinated nationwide campaign" funded by special interests to make it harder for voters to use direct democracy and create change.

Our dedicated team at Ohio Citizen Action has been working tirelessly to inform people about the August special election and protect democracy in Ohio.

Every day, we're talking to voters, informing them about the election in August and recording their responses as to why they're voting No!

The upcoming high-stakes August special election has implications for national politics, and has local election offices scrambling. Republican lawmakers reversed their own law, leading to a tight timeframe and poll worker recruitment challenges.

We are urging you to vote NO in August because...

It ends Majority Rule as we know it:

This amendment shreds our Constitution, ending majority rule in Ohio and taking away our right to decide what happens here. It undermines the sacred principle of “one person, one vote.” It gives a small number of voters, 41 percent, the power to block initiatives that the majority wants.

To protect our freedom:

We all want the freedom to make decisions that affect our lives. Ballot initiatives let us exercise that freedom. But some politicians don’t like the decisions we’ve made so they want to rewrite the rules, so they can get what they want instead of what the people want.

It's a special election for special interests:

This constitutional amendment is a political ploy put on the ballot by extreme special interests and politicians to permanently change Ohio’s constitution, ending majority rule and the principle of “one person one vote.” It’s a special election for special interests. They’re rushing it through in August – when they know fewer people vote – to trick voters into giving up their rights. The cost? $20 million dollars of your taxpayer money.

Vote No on Issue 1 Aug 8th
