Tell Your Ohio Representatives: Say NO to Minority Rule and Preserve One Person, One Vote in Ohio

Right now, both the Ohio House (HJR1) and Ohio Senate (SJR2) are advancing extreme anti-democracy bills that would amend our Constitution and make it harder for all state ballot initiatives to pass by raising the requirements from a simple majority to 60% of votes cast. This would lock in minority rule, allowing just 40% of Ohio voters to make laws and dictate policy.

It has passed the Senate but has not passed the House of Representatives. YET. Our lawmakers need to hear from you! Take action to send an email to 10 key Republican legislators urge them to vote NO on HJR1 and preserve one person, one vote in Ohio.

Dear _______,

As your constituent, a person of faith and a concerned Ohioan, I demand you oppose and vote NO on any joint resolution (HJR1 or SJR2) that would raise the passage rate for ballot initiatives to 60%. It is unwise, unnecessary, undemocratic and unpopular to change the Constitution and lock in the power of the minority to rule over the majority. Our democracy is based on one person, one vote. It is your duty to act to preserve our democracy and protect access for all Ohioans to the ballot.

My faith teaches me that we love our neighbors by listening to them. Our sacred freedom to vote is one of the most important ways in which we hear the voices and concerns of those around us. These resolutions silence the voices of those who must be heard in our state.

I am a part of the millions of faithful Ohioans who will continue to fight back against unjust propositions like these. Fighting for our democracy is in the spiritual DNA of our collective and diverse faith traditions. We have seen throughout history that when faith leaders join together and push back, we can and will protect our communities and hold elected officials like you accountable.

Thank you.
