Delaware Repubs Pushing Bush on RON


Stumbled upon my local Repub website tonight. I found this quite comical actually:
Don’t undo the Bush Victory last year…
Vote NO on State Issues 2, 3, 4, and 5.
Do they REALLY want to be pushing Bush right about now? Maybe they should have checked this first. Sounds to me as […]

Doing the math on RON


Tim at GrowOhio has two good posts (one two) about the math as it relates to Reform Ohio Now.
First is relative to State Issue 3 and money. The contrast is stark:
Ohio First has raised $2.2 million and has a grand total of 170 reported donors towards their effort. That’s an average contribution […]

Here Come The Bastards Pt III


Those curious enough to peek into my little audio window on the canvassing world might have heard about this, but I wanted to expand.
Apparantly, the shit has been scared out of the Corruptlicans as they are now in full on frontal assault mode as it relates to RON. I’m talking activist insurgencies. […]

Latest Reform Ohio Now Ad


Here is the latest Reform Ohio Now ad:

Most people I have seen blog on this agree it is one of the most effective. Put out by a group called Citizens to End Corruption - a group that smartly and hilariously registered “ohiofirst.org” (Ohio First is the group opposing RON). The ad even looks […]

Ohio GOP Lawn Decorations


Today an alert Delaware activist spotted an anti-RON yard sign (thanks K). First I have seen and surely not the last as it seems the Ohio GOP has gotten into the yard sign business. Sign at the bottom right says “Paid for by the Ohio Republican Party www.ohiogop.org”. I’m not sure how […]

Retreating Back to Solid Ground


Well, you knew it would happen. This has been floating around for a bit, but I’ve been banging my head with my audio/video problem. Seems the opposition is in full retreat and falling back on solid ground: “family values”, gay bashing, pro-life, and that evil halloween monster “election fraud” (irony?). RON […]

What’s The Matter with Bucyrus?


OK, this is the second piece of drivel I’ve seen coming out of Bucyrus. I feel it is time to fire back. The first piece of parroted talking point LTE form letter crap comes from the honorable Mr. Richard J. Rees.
Richard tells us not to be misled, that these issues are not about […]

Time To Donate to RON - Matching Funds!


The time is now to make a donation to the Reform Ohio Now effort. Someone has offerered to match up to $50k until this Friday, Oct. 28th. Opponents are pouring in big money (yes, from outside the state too - hypocrites!) and we need to counteract the misinformation ads - they are relying […]

Mixed Bag’s Ass


Great. From one of the only blue counties in the damned state, we get this: “Mixed bag of reforms“. An editorial in the Plain Dealer this morning strikes down Issues 3, 4, and 5. They went out on a limb and supported Issue 2, absentee voting. I don’t know, kinda […]

RON Opposition: Scavenging for Arguments


Martin Gottlieb of the Dayton Daily News has a great piece about the opposition to the RON amendments (hat tip: Blue 88).
Republican leaders oppose the reform, Issue Four, because they are benefitting from the current system. Which party benefits changes from time to time. But it’s always one or the other…
…Truth is, the […]
