Somebody has paid much money to scare people of the red Chinese menace that will take over America through electricity. Newspapers and television stations across Ohio have called these commercials out as very misleading (pure bullshit). They suggest who they benefit (First Energy, owner of nuclear and coal power plants). They do not suggest who made the commercials. The outfit that did so, has to have made Republican campaign commercials before--it is the style: instill fear over imaginary threats and demanding the listeners to do something about it. First time, i have seen, "do not sign the petition" and report to us if you see a "circulator". Well, in a democracy, people are allowed to petition for the ballot, and they are not reported to some shadow authority. This is all in response to House Bill 6 which gives money to First Energy. First Energy has given money to Columbus politicians (state politics in Ohio is completely Republican), both do not want citizens to over ride them. [as i type, a commercial is on the teevee] The only name i can find associated with Ohioans for Energy Security (vague name) is Carlo LoParo (their spokesman). Who is he? He has a public relations business. He has been involved with state wide Republican candidates and administrations (Blackwell, Yost, Kasich...). Before he started his current business, he worked for Strategic Public Partners (vague named propaganda firm for hire).

postscriptum: October 1, 2019. Those commercials also included a phone number, which people were to use to report circulators of the petition. Yesterday, Dave Yost, Ohio's Attorney General, revealed thugs were sent out to interfere with signings. [click]
