I'll be frank, John, Issue 1 is a blatant attempt to silence the voice of Ohioans, and I'm urging you to vote NO.
The Ohio GOP introduced Issue 1 to defeat a citizen-led initiative to pass a reproductive rights amendment. If Issue 1 passes, it'll make it nearly impossible for grassroots citizen initiatives to pass. This would stifle the people's ability to protect our reproductive freedom, end gerrymandering, raise the minimum wage, and so much more.
