State Issue 1 will change the process of how citizen-led initiatives can amend Ohio’s constitution. It could change the future of Ohio’s constitution, forcing citizen-led constitutional amendments to get a 60% vote instead of a simple majority. “If Issue 1 is approved on August 8th, it would apply to all future amendments,” said former state Representative Mike Curtin.
“Until 1953, our constitution said that the Ohio National Guard was for white males only,” Curtin said. “Not until 1953 that Ohio voters approved an amendment to the constitution to allow black men to become members of the Ohio National Guard. And that passed with 58% of the vote. So with a 60% threshold, our constitution would still say that the Ohio National Guard is for white males only.” (Spectrum News 1)
They are at it again. THEY, being the Christian Nationalist Republican Fascist Party. THEY being the Majority of Anarchist-minded Republican Legislators and their Failure as a Governor, Republican Mike DeWine. The Gerrymandered Senate and House of Ohio, many of whom will never have to face any opposition opponent because the Ohio Legislature made certain many years ago, that Democracy has no place in a Dictatorship. For Republicans, the demise of one person one vote is just a fable, a Liberal/Progressive, and I am certain an ANTIFA, ill-conceived ideal.
Be afraid, all of you out there in the land of having your head up your own ass, because, state by state, from gerrymandered districts, dark money, Right Wing Propaganda, and those thinking bad things will never happen to them, the party of Trump, is coming for your freedoms.
