Vote no on issue 2

[Travis_0004]

I just wanted to put some info out there to convince some people to vote no on 2.

Issue 2 sounds nice "anti monopoly amendment", after all who wants a monopoly.

Most know that issue 2 would block issue 3 from coming law, and block marijuana this year.
It also has other consequences. It could block single payer on a ballot, because that is a monopoly (according to single payer action network), and it could have other consequences.

The ACLU of ohio opposes issue 2

Here is the vote from the legislature on issue 2 (100% senate republicans supported putting it on the ballot. 100% senate democrats opposed putting it on the ballot.

The Ohio house had 100% republicans support it, and 14 support, and 12 opposed, so they were a bit split.

1. Thanks!

It isn't too early to be doing my homework on the ballot, esp. since we will early vote again.

2. ^_____ ditto

Thanks for the insight. I haven't started my homework yet but I have to say the issue 2 folks have been pretty effective at creating the impression that 2 and 3 go "together" if you will.

Obviously more homework due on this one but this gives me a better reason to dig.

Thanks.

3. Thank you for the info

I was under the wrong impression about 2. I didn't know about how it could affect other potential laws down the road.

The Kashits crowd are a sneaky bunch.

4. On the other hand, 2 could get rid of Time Warner's monopoly on Cable Service in my community

But I understand, the bigger picture and hadn't thought about the single payer thing.


No on 2 and Yes on 3.

5. Issue 2 will do nothing about time warner

Issue 2 does nothing about current monopolies, or even future monopolies.

It does make passing a future monopoly in an election (such as the casinos) more difficult.
