John,

Blue Letter  8/7/23 -  DEFEAT ISSUE 1 IN OHIO 
 
ED NOTE: We have a hugely important election tomorrow, folks. It is in Ohio, where Republicans are trying to steal our right to change our state constitution via ballot measure. This group of corrupt hacks--the last two GOP Speakers have had their offices or homes raided by the FBI, there have been bribery scandals, extortion and the list goes on--wants to take away our right to rule by majority.
 
VOTE NO ON ISSUE 1
 
Please go vote NO ON ISSUE 1 tomorrow if you haven't already. When, in 1912, the ability to change our constitution via ballot amendment was added at a convention, its biggest proponent, a guy named Teddy Roosevelt, had this to say:
 
"I protest against any theory that would make of the constitution a means of thwarting instead of securing the absolute right of the people to rule themselves"
 
VOTE NO ON ISSUE 1
 
He, of course, was right. Don't let them steal our democracy. So if you live in Ohio, go vote against Issue 1. If you don't, but have friends, family, anyone you know in the Buckeye State, encourage them to do the same. Please post about it where you can. And we'll defeat this thing, and get a Constitutional Amendment passed in November to secure abortion rights for Ohio women, and so much more.
 
THANK YOU, 
 
Cliff

About BlueAmp Action:

We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. 

We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. 

And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t.

When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families.

Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we.

So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.

Thank you for your support for all we do! Please follow Cliff Schecter on Twitter @cliffschecter, or subscribe to The Takedown with Cliff Schecter on YouTube, to keep up to date with this battle for the heart and soul of our country.
