Word From The Chair

  • Had Enough? We know that the Republicans, who have a super-majority in both houses of the Ohio General Assembly, have nothing but disdain for Ohioans. We saw that in the August 8, 2023 special election on the old Issue 1.[1] The old Issue 1 was meant to make it virtually impossible for Ohioans to amend their state constitution. Although the General Assembly outlawed almost all August special elections early in 2023, the Republicans called an August special election on old Issue 1, thinking that most Ohioans would not show up to vote on stripping themselves of legal rights. We saw it, and continue to see it, in House Bill 6, which remains in effect although it has been proved to have been the product of bribery. Every Ohioan who gets an electric bill pays a surcharge every month to support, among other things, a coal-fired power plant in Indiana just because Ohio Republicans want to make good on the promises Larry Householder gave in return for a huge sum of money. Are you disgusted? You should be. Yes, our Republican-dominated General Assembly is disgusting, but what can we do? There is an answer to that question.  The answer is to run for the General Assembly. All 99 seats in the Ohio House of Representatives will be up for election next year, including the two seats from Clermont County. Also, the seat for the 14th Ohio Senate district, which includes Clermont County, is up for election in 2024. All three seats are currently held by right wing Republicans. Although the General Assembly districts are supposed to be redrawn for 2024, it is highly unlikely that the Republicans who control that process will make any significant changes to the Clermont County districts. There are two Ohio House of Representative districts in Clermont County. The 62nd district covers the Clermont County portion of Loveland, Milford, and Miami, Union, Goshen, and Stonelick Townships. The seat is currently held by Republican Jean Schmidt, a Householder protégé, who has been holding one or another government office and drawing a paycheck from the taxpayers for decades. The 63rd district includes the rest of Clermont County and the western half of Brown County. The seat is currently held by Republican Adam Bird. The 14th Senate district covers the four counties of Clermont, Brown, Adams, and Scioto. The seat is currently held by Republican Terry Johnson. All three are considered “safe” Republican seats, meaning that our state representatives and state senator are much more concerned with advancing the extremist far-right agenda of the current Ohio Republican Party than they are about representing all the people in their districts. What does it take to challenge one of these people? You must run for the office. What does it take to do that? First, you must run in the March 2024 Democratic primary election to become the Democratic nominee for the office on the November 2024 general election ballot. What does it take to be on the March 2024 primary election ballot? First, you must currently live in the district, you must have lived in the district for the year preceding the November 7, 2023 election, and you must be a registered voter. You must also complete an Ohio Secretary of State Form 2 F and obtain signatures on that form from 50 registered voters who are either registered Democrats or whose voter registration does not show an affiliation with any political party, people commonly known as independents or “NPs” (for “no party”). The completed form 2 F with at least 50 valid signatures must be filed with the Clermont County Board of Elections by 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, December 20, 2023. In other words, there is not a ton of time. Why run? One answer is that, if you win, you have what is supposed to be a part-time job with a base salary of $ 69,876.00.  More important, if you win, you help erode the Republican super-majority in the General Assembly. Most important, win or lose, giving our incumbent Republican state legislators serious competition should do two things: (1) Force them to focus more on the needs of the people in their districts than on the national extreme right-wing agenda. (2)  Show the voters in our county that there is an alternative to one-party rule. Giving voters a serious alternative to Ms. Schmidt, Mr. Bird, and Mr. Johnson will make at least some voters ask what these people have done for us and why we should keep them in the General Assembly? Giving those questions any thought at all produces obvious answers: they have done nothing, and we should not keep them in the General Assembly. Do you want to do something for Clermont County? Step up and run for the General Assembly. Just remember you must file your petitions by December 20, 2023. Here are a couple of resources to learn what entails running for office. Run For Something Thinking about running for local office? We want to talk to you. We don’t care about your resume: if you’re progressive and you care about improving your local community, we want to help you run. So You Think You Want To Run What You’ll Learn How to decide whether you want to run for office, what you want to run for, and when How to use NDTC’s online candidate trainings to build your skills as a candidate and run a winning campaign [1] This should not be confused with the Reproductive Freedom Amendment which will appear on the November 7, 2023 general election ballot as Issue 1. The November Issue 1 is on the ballot despite Republicans efforts to deny Ohioans a vote on it.

  • Vote Yes on Issue 1  What a difference three months make! Leading up to the August 8 special election, we were exhorting people to vote No on Issue 1. We are shifting 180 degrees for the November 7 election, encouraging people to vote Yes on State Issue 1. The reason for this shift, of course, is that Issue 1 on the August 8 ballot was completely different from Issue 1 which will appear on the November ballot. Issue 1 in November is the Reproductive Freedom Amendment which, if passed, will limit the power of state government to control individual Ohioans’ decisions about their reproductive health. The Amendment will limit the state government’s ability to regulate the use of contraceptives, fertility treatment, and abortion. The Amendment will not abolish all power of state government to regulate these matters, but it will create a greater zone of protection for individuals and their physicians to make these crucial life decisions based on their own circumstances, needs, and values instead of having one size fits all decisions imposed on them according to whatever ideology is prevailing in the Ohio General Assembly at any given time. A yes vote on November Issue 1 is as close to a “no-brainer” as you can get in an election. Surely, conservatives who asserted that the State cannot be allowed to require people to wear masks in public to prevent the spread of a fatal disease would agree that the State also has no business dictating whether or not people may use contraceptives or have an abortion. Consistency, however, is not a conservative value. Many conservatives who loudly decry supposed government deprivations of citizens’ “freedom” and “liberty” strongly support government action to deprive citizens of freedom and liberty when it comes to matters involving reproduction. Some of those conservatives hold official positions which give them the opportunity to try manipulating the vote on November Issue 1. They are taking that opportunity. The Ohio Ballot Board is a state agency chaired by the Ohio Secretary of State. Among other things, the Ballot Board is empowered by Article II, Section 1g of the Ohio Constitution to prescribe the ballot language when a citizen-initiative constitutional amendment appears on the election ballot. The standards which govern this action by the Ballot Board appear in Article XVI, Section 1 of our state constitution. In pertinent part, Article XVI, Section 1 says that “[t]he ballot need not contain the full text or a condensed text of the proposal.” However, the Ballot Board is required to put language on the ballot that “shall properly identify the substance of the proposal to be voted on.” The current Republican majority on the Ballot Board apparently believes that the requirement to “properly” describe the substance of the proposed amendment gives them license to try to influence how voters vote on the amendment.The language which the Ballot Board majority mandated to appear on the November ballot about Issue 1, the Reproductive Freedom Amendment, is an obvious attempt to persuade voters to vote against the amendment. Of course, everyone has the First Amendment right to try to persuade voters. The difference is that no one except the Ballot Board majority gets to write the language which voters see on their ballot. That the Ballot Board majority feels empowered to use its exclusive control over what appears on the ballot epitomizes Republican rule in Ohio. Anything is “proper” if they think it helps them achieve what they want. The Ballot Board majority’s ballot language is longer than the actual text of the amendment. The ballot language uses the phrase “unborn child” at least four times. The phrase “unborn child” is a fiction created by abortion opponents. The ballot language also states that the amendment would “prohibit the citizens of the State of Ohio” from taking certain actions. The amendment would do no such thing. If adopted, the amendment will not prohibit Ohio citizens from doing anything. To the contrary, the amendment will give Ohio citizens legally protected rights to do certain things. The amendment would only put limits on the power of the state government. Only in this context would Republicans argue that the government and the citizens are one and the same. Obviously, the disinformation campaign against November Issue 1, the Reproductive Freedom Amendment, has already started. Equally obviously, the Republicans in state government are using their taxpayer-funded official positions to affect the vote on November Issue 1. Polling has consistently shown that a majority of Ohioans support allowing legal access to abortion. The right-wing ideologues in Columbus are not the only “citizens of the State of Ohio” who matter. We need to work hard between now and November 7 to get all the citizens of Ohio to vote in favor of rights for all citizens of Ohio. I hope you had a good Labor Day holiday. I also hope you took at least a few moments to think about the importance and dignity of labor and to, at least silently, thank organized labor for all it has done for all of us whether or not we belong to a union.

  • We Won!  As you know, Issue 1 received its richly deserved drubbing on August 8. Clermont County turnout was 39.6%. “Yes” won just over 54% of the vote in Clermont County, but the difference was only 4,948 votes. No won in fifty-five of our 168 counties (including my own Pierce Township Precinct B). Most of those precincts were in the western part of the county where our canvassing efforts were more intense. While many of us dislike canvassing and some of us cannot canvass, this result shows the power of canvassing. Other presumptively Republican counties gave “Yes” similar narrow margins. This was insufficient to overcome the huge margin in favor of No in the urban counties. This is a prime example of what we mean when we talk about “losing better.”  In a statewide race, we do not have to win Clermont County. We can win the state if we can narrow the margin in Clermont County. Now, we need a bigger win  The win on Issue 1 was a defensive win. Defeating Issue 1 simply preserved the rights Ohioans have had since 1912 to amend our state constitution. In November, we need to take a step further and win back the basic human rights which Ohioans lost when the U.S. Supreme Court decided Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization and overruled the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision. We do that by passing the Reproductive Freedom Amendment. Clermont County contributed more than double the minimum number of petition signatures required to get the Reproductive Freedom Amendment on the November ballot. That fact, coupled with the relatively good performance of No on August 8, might lead you to believe that the Reproductive Freedom Amendment will do well in Clermont County. It may, but that cannot be assumed. Based on my conversations with voters leading up to and on August 8, I’m convinced that there were people who voted No on August 8 but who will also vote against the Reproductive Freedom Amendment. This means that we have a lot of work to do between now and November 7. We are going to need canvassers, postcard writers, and other volunteers. Please donate some time to regain individuals’ rights to make their own decisions on reproduction. Stay safe and thank you  for voting No on Issue 1.

Over the last decade the Ohio General Assembly, also known as the State Legislature, has been illegally gerrymandered into a Republican Super Majority.

So the Republicans tell their colleagues no one is against them. So here’s the deal, all reps are required to log every phone call and email from constituents.

Mobilization Manager Deputy Data Director What’s New From Clermont To Columbus And Beyond Click on the headline to access the full article Analysis: Ohio GOP’s re-write of abortion rights ballot language is unlikely to make a difference In the Aug. 8 special election, Frank LaRose, Ohio’s Republican secretary of state, was told in no uncertain terms that voters had no use for his plan to raise the bar for passing constitutional amendments to 60%. Issue 1 failed miserably; and was clearly aimed at making it harder for abortion rights advocates to pass the reproductive rights amendment on the November ballot, which would write access to abortion into the Ohio Constitution. CONTINUE READING Not just Ohio: Biased language is the hot new tactic to thwart ballot measures Abortion-rights supporters filed a lawsuit Monday (August 28) against what they call “deceptive” ballot language produced by Ohio officials for the state’s closely-watched upcoming referendum on the issue. But it isn’t just the Buckeye State that’s lately seeing fierce battles over the once-obscure topic of ballot language. CONTINUE READING Analysis of new federal rule says it could help with child care costs in Ohio An Ohio think tank is urging state support for a proposed federal rule could lower child care costs and benefit providers as well. The importance of access to high-quality child care is not lost on the country (or Ohio), but despite that, the U.S. Health and Human Services Department said, “Most families struggle to find or afford high-quality child care for their children because of limited supply,” thus the basis for rule changes, the department stated. CONTINUE READING WORD FROM THE CHAIR- Raymond Lembke What a difference three months make! Leading up to the August 8 special election, we were exhorting people to vote No on Issue 1. We are shifting 180 degrees for the November 7 election, encouraging people to vote Yes on State Issue 1.

But The Work Has Just Begun Ohio gained national attention in our fight against Issue One because it was a bellwether for the future of a democracy driven by we the people. Happily we defeated Issue One on August 8th, not by a little, but by a lot – 57% to 43%. But the work has just begun. Issue One in and of itself was the Ohio GOP’s power grab attempt to take away the people’s voice in Ohio government. But what made Issue One even more insidious was the connection to the Ohio GOP’s attempt to take away reproductive rights. The anti-abortion movement has been a long time in the making and is driven by a coalition of politicians and “religious” groups. This article, A warning told again: Politics and religion don’t mix, gives us insight into just how deep the ties are. Make no mistake, “the church” is politicking from the pulpit and we need to figure out a way to push back. The challenge: facts don’t affect religion because religion is based on faith. Yes.
