In Cleveland, in 1930, there began from the radio studio of WHK1420 began the programme, Lutheran Hour. The host for the first twenty years was Dr. Walter H. Maier. This plaque is on St. Mark Lutheran Cleveland.
This loon* posts the dishonest, ridiculous, and fear mongering arguments of the Republican Party. That party controls the state government completely. They will do things against the will of the people. People in Ohio have voted on ballot issues since 1913. Now, in logic and debate, the status quo is presumed to be fine. So, a change would be warranted only if the net results would be positive. The onus of proof is on the side wanting change. Why is the change necessary? Because Republicans do not want a majority of people deciding anything. They want power concentrated in their hands. Two ballot initiatives were successful in trying to end gerrymandering districts. The Republicans ignored the will of the people, they ignored the State Supreme Court, and got away with it. The Republicans with massive bribes had gotten a state wide issue passed to benefit an electrical utility company. Federal court has found that Republican Speaker of the House, and that State Party chairman guilty. The special interest, if it is a major moneyed interest, gets what it wants from the Republican Party. The public be damned. Also recently, the Republican Party had made a law that a special election could not be held in August, they ignored their own law.
The particular impetus for this situation is to make issues, on the general election, this November fail. The one issue is to allow abortions to happen beyond the sixth week after conception. In recent Republican states (Kansas, Kentucky), similar ballot questions passed with under 60%. The other issue is on the recreational use of cannabis. Now, enough signatures have been counted and approved for the former; for the latter some 600+ are needed to qualify, since more signatures were rejected than expected. Under current law, ten days are granted to further gather signatures. If Issue 1 passes, there will not be any period. Currently, 44 of the 88 counties have to be represented with signatures. The proposed amendment mandates 5% of the total votes of the previous gubernatorial contest to be collected in each of the 88 counties; thus making it very difficult to achieve.
She is upset that half the electorate "can control the other half". The gall of the mendacity is fantastic. First, by semantics, anything can be split in two; whether they are equal, or very unequal is another matter. Her 40% will control the other 60%, and that is her want. Now, the Ohio electorate is not 60%+ Republican; yet they control everything. But remember, the bedrock foundation of the Republican Party is hypocrisy.
A few days we went to a flea market, with our greyhounds. It was dog friendly. A vendor was selling these. Humourous. I read that a child photographer would say, 'poop' to get children to smile/laugh.
