If the People Voted for it, the Politican's don't get to change it behind close doors

Governor DeWine recently suggested Issue 2 supporters should “be happy with their victory” instead of objecting to legislative changes.

This is not about S.B 56. It is about whether Ohio citizens still have the authority to vote, or whether we have quietly shifted to a system where citizens vote on a law, and politicians decide they know better.

Ohio is a democracy. When a Citizen’s vote gets changed behind closed doors with handshakes and payoffs, it makes Ohio an authoritarian state, and its citizens are just puppets.

Politicians like to treat Ohio voters as if they were children who need their decisions corrected. They forget that the citizens are the owners of this government, and they, the politicians, are temporary employees of the State who serve at the will of the people. Governor DeWine's statement shows that he is a splendid example of the permanent political class that forgets he serves at the will of the people.

Ohioans deserve better.
