Current Issues

Tips During This Terrible Time

1. Do not Isolate Yourself. Come to the meetings as you need to be with likeminded people. Please read the Newsletter. 
2. Get Involved with an activity whether small or large.  Please volunteer. 
3. Remember, do not give up your Power freely. Do not give up your Constituent Power whether you have MAGA Reps or not.  They need to know that we are not going away. 
4. Do Not Obey in Advance. Synder says, most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. Anticipatory obedience means adapting instinctively, without reflecting, to a new situation. 
5. Support and defend our institutions, they cannot do it alone. Public schools are a prime target for us to defend. 
6. Do not become overwhelmed. That is what they want. Keep your head about you. If you can only focus on one issue, then focus on the one issue. 
7.  Be As Courageous as You Can. It is a choice to be courageous and courageous acts are different for different people. Courage can be doing small acts on a daily basis like writing a letter to the editor even though you are afraid. Tyrants who see that we can take a risk, take small chances of courage, will be less likely to take risks. 






Constitutional Amendment – Voter Restrictions

Issue 3 Is Designed to Suppress the Vote

Ohio Issue 3 is a proposed constitutional amendment that would permanently enshrine the state’s existing voter photo ID requirements into the Ohio Constitution, making them significantly harder for future lawmakers to change.

What Issue 3 Would Do

*Move current voter ID rules from state law to the Ohio Constitution, preventing changes through legislation
*Require in‑person voters to show an acceptable photo ID
*Ban use of bank statements or utility bills as valid identification. 
*Extend photo ID requirements to absentee voters, who would need a photo ID or a signature plus another unique identifier. 

Opponents’ Arguments
*The requirement is already law, making the amendment unnecessary.
*Will restrict voter access without improving security.
Seen by Democrats and Libertarians as a political move to energize GOP voters.
Voter Fraud extremely rare with about 193 convictions over a 20 year period.

Honesty for Ohio Education

Honest education is the complete presentation, thorough examination, and intentional discussion of historical and current events, behaviors, societal trends, and the hard truths that define the contours of our nation. It reflects and affirms diverse perspectives and identities, including race, sex, identity, and faith. It is grounded in credible research, widely-accepted sources, and narratives of diverse lived experiences. It promotes open dialogue, debate, and thorough and thoughtful analysis of information. Honest education develops lifelong learners and engaged citizens who contribute to their communities, address complex issues, seek collaborative solutions, and help advance the betterment of society.
