DFriend--

We could call it unbelievable, but nothing is unbelievable anymore. As brought to light by recent reporting, the effort to pass House Joint Resolution 1 is funded by out of state money from a billionaire who thinks his voice matters more than Ohio voters. 

Richard Uihlein, who donated millions to overturn 2020 election results, is urging Ohio lawmakers to set an August election for a vote on a proposal to amend the Ohio constitution to require a 60% vote for passage of amendments instead of the simple majority we have had for more than 100 years.

PAC launches ads against House speaker, key Republicans

The Save Our Constitution PAC has initiated radio ads against House Speaker Stephens and others. The group is intensifying its campaign by launching targeted digital, television, and text message ads against Stephens and other influential House Republicans who have not committed to support HJR 1.

It is up to us to show them that there are plenty of Ohioans who appreciate their opposition!

We have a chance to stop HJR1/SJR2 in the legislature. Please call these representatives today!

We know that the calls to legislators are working. They understand that people are informed and are watching how they vote. Let's keep it up. Please take a moment to make some calls to those who are still deciding their votes. And if your lawmaker is not on this list--give them a call too!

Jason Stephens (House Speaker) - House District 93
(614) 466-1366

Brett Hillyer - House District 51
(614) 466-8035

D.J. Swearingen - House District 89
