Issue One is designed to silence the voices of Ohioans . This special election , which is costing the state of Ohio millions of dollars , seeks to permanently change Ohio ’ s Constitution , ending majority rule as we know it . This is a brazen attempt by politicians and special interest groups to trick Ohioans into giving up our most precious freedom , the freedom to be heard at the ballot box .
Members of the Ohio Statehouse , who themselves have been elected by a majority , want to move the goal line for the rest of us , making it harder for the majority of Ohioans to amend our constitution . If Issue One passes , a minority of Ohioans will be able to block an amendment that the majority of Ohioans support .
Do we want to see the end of majority rule , a rule that has existed in the state of Ohio for over 110 years ? Do we want to throw out the sacred principle of one person , one vote ? Do we want to stand by as our voices are silenced ?
