    “Protect the Constitution”

    never mind that they were “protecting” it by trying to gut and make useless one of the key parts of the constitution 🤷‍♂️

      “Outside money is coming in and imposing it’s will on us…”

      Election to change it drew $30 million in outside funding.

        Last week I got sent some propaganda, printed like a newspaper to make it seem legitimate, especially to older folks. Articles about how BLM, Antifa, and John Legend (Ohio native that moved to 😡 California) are coming for Ohioans and our way of life by supporting not changing our constitution.

        Mailed from Chicago.

          “our” way of life. Who’s way of life? Conservatives have been coming for minorities’ way of life forever.

          Do you happen to have a photo of the “newspaper”. I’m very curious about it. I’ve heard about this before.

          They probably used the same organizations they setup to do similar mailings in Illinois to kill a proposed progressive income tax (successfully, unfortunately) and prevent collective bargaining for government workers (failing spectacularly).

        The part that makes no sense to me about that argument is that the measure has nothing to do with money or even out of state money. For the life of me I don’t know why people are allowed to donate to campaigns on issues that don’t affect them directly, but issue 1 had absolutely nothing to do with money.

          You’ll find that almost no right wing legislation ever gets argued for on it’s face. There are always these obfuscations to make it look like it’s about something entirely unrelated.
