1,298,301 A Letter from The Honorable Chris Redfern, Chairman of the Ohio Democratic Party
Dear Fellow Ohio Democrats:
We did it! On June 29th, 1,298,301 Ohioans said ―Not so fast!‖ to John Kasich. That's how many signatures were delivered to the Secretary of State's office following a parade of about 7,000 people in Columbus.
Democrats, middle-class Ohioans, union mem-bers and more have been organizing in every corner of the state. Together we collected more than 5 times the number of signatures needed to give citizens veto power over Senate Bill 5 – the anti-middle class, anti-worker bill that John Kasich and extremist Republican lawmakers pushed through the legislature. But getting the signatures was just the first step in a tough campaign that starts today. Soon millions of special-interest dollars and out-of-state corporate funds will begin to flood Ohio’s airwaves with misleading ads about Senate Bill 5. We must pull out all the stops to fight back.
Will you help us keep Ohio from turning its back on police, firefighters and teachers?
Let’s be clear. Senate Bill 5 would not create a sin-gle new job in Ohio. Instead, it would lead to fewer police officers patrolling our neighborhoods, fewer firefighters responding to our emergency calls and fewer dollars for our children in the classroom. Will you help us today and tell John Kasich that he cannot punish Ohio’s middle class?
We are a nation, a state and a political party that stands up for the dignity of hard work and the honor of fair play. Please stand by us, and help in this fight!
Sincerely,
Chris Redfern, Chairman
The Ohio Democratic Party
