They like us because they respect the work we do and they admire the selfless service we perform. This election is really about fairness, safety and the middle class. Issue #2 is unfair, it makes our communities less safe and its bad for the middle class.

SB5 is UNFAIR .
Politicians make special exceptions for themselves and upper management, while stripping the rights of middle class Ohioans. Its not Ohio values to let firefighters, police, and teachers lose their rights and see their wages and benefits gutted, while the insiders and people at the top get big pay increases and bonuses.

Vote No on Issue 2 Unfair, Unsafe and SB5 HURTS US ALL: Hurts Middle Class SB5 hurts Ohio families Families and blames public employees
SB5 is UNSAFE:
for a mess caused by Wall Streets greed. Instead of serving We the People and working to create jobs, some politicians work harder for big corporate donors by offering them tax breaks and selling off our parks, prisons, and turnpikes. That doesnt create anything but a bigger hole in the budget.
SB5 puts the safety of all our families at risk by making it illegal for nurses, teachers and emergency responders to fight for safer staffing levels, critical safety equipment and training that protects them and our communities.

An Example Story
I always wanted to be a teacher and I love teaching 3rd grade. I really enjoy helping my students learn to love reading. Im worried because Senate Bill 5 will take away my voice in school decisions, like how big our class sizes are. Adding five or six more students will really take away the personal attention that I know my students need from me. Im willing to do whatever it takes to help these children, and right now that means that we need to defeat Issue #2 and repeal Senate Bill 5.
