Support People over Politicians — Stop Ohio HJR 6
For over 100 years, Ohioans have had the right to gather hundreds of thousands of signatures, place a constitutional amendment on the ballot, and pass it into law. That’s the power of the people.
But now, two Ohio politicians are trying to take this right away.
While you and your family prepare for the holidays, Secretary of State Frank LaRose and State Rep Brian Stewart are trying to pass HJR 6.
Under HJR 6, Ohioans who gather signatures and place an amendment on the ballot would need to win a supermajority (60%) of statewide votes for their amendment to become law.
That means just 41% of voters could block what the majority of voters want. Ohio would be run by minority rule.
We believe the people of Ohio should have the final say, not lobbyists and politicians. If you agree, take action to help stop this attack on your freedoms.
1.) Testify in-person against HJR 6. Click here for info on how to testify in-person.
