The Ohio Attorney General's Office rejected the ballot language that was submitted to begin the repeal process of the Voter Suppression Bill (H.B. 194). This bill would make it harder to vote in OHIO!
We need to collect another 1,000 signatures Wednesday, Aug. 3 to resubmit the ballot language to the Attorney General's Office and get their approval as soon as possible. Since the old petition was rejected, everyone needs to sign this new petition.

Please spread the word, bring a friend and sign a petition tomorrow at one of the following central Ohio locations:

Here's how the H.B. 194 will hurt Ohioans by reducing their access to voting:
* Reduce by mail absentee voting to 3 weeks from 5 weeks and reduce in person absentee voting to 2 weeks.
* Ban in person absentee voting on Sundays and Saturday after noon hour
* Ban in person early voting during the last weekend before the election
* Make it more difficult for the Election Boards to open extra offices in the community to make it more convenient to vote early
* Stop local Election Boards from sending absentee ballot applications unsolicited to all voters
* Stop local Elections Boards from paying postage on return absentee ballot requests or on the return of absentee ballots

H.B. 194 will increase the amount of people voting in person on Election Day, bringing back long lines and the potential for multiple hour waits for Ohioans to exercise their Constitutional rights to vote.

PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION AUGUST 3 at one of the above locations and BRING A FRIEND!
