Call Ohio's Leaders and Tell Them No to
Stand Your Ground! On Wednesday, there could be a vote on the dangerous Stand Your Ground bills, SB 383 / HB 796. Tell @GovMikeDeWine to veto these bills. Call Governor DeWine, Ohio Speaker of the House Cupp and Senator Obhof and tell them that you are against SB 383 and HB 796 legislation on Stand Your Ground! The governor's office number is (614) 644-4357. Rep. Cupp can be reached at (614) 466-9624 and Sen. Obhof at (614) 466-7505. Thousands of people have signed our petition. People who live outside of Ohio but who travel through it or simply don't want Ohio to start a state precedent on expanded stand your ground laws should sign the petition as well. Click here to sign! ----------------------------------------------------- Self-defense is already provided in Ohio laws. Legislation like this is racially biased, playing on rhetoric and hate. This legislation allows for lethal force to be used when ANYONE feels they are in danger of harm. There would be NO DUTY TO RETREAT, even when they could. | |
