The Research:
1. Democrats had no issues with drawing district lines while in power for years upon years. Odd how this is suddenly a major issue now that a elected Republican government is in power?
2. It wasn't a major issue until an out of state wealthy Progressive Liberal interjected himself along with a league of other likeminded and very wealthy donors. Odd? Sound like 2023, Issue 1 all over again?
3. Do you really want retired Judges judging? Do really think they are not "politically motivated"?
4. Do you really want a team unelected officials making official rules?
5. Do you really want to pay more taxes for this unofficial committee?
6. Independents are a liberal minded majority. Lesser lean Republican, even less "center". How's it fair to pretend a large group of people with an identify complex is somehow neutral?
7. The parallels to last years "Issue 1" is further evidence that there are foreign forces, state and federal, attempting to influence ballot measures. The average Democrat has no appetite for an opposing viewpoint. The latter must be conquered by any and all means.
8. MSM, Social Media, Naive Friends... all guilty of propagating lies. #SovietUnion
9. The founding fathers warned us that we'd be our own destruction and destruction does NOT have to happen suddenly. It can happen slowly. Communists don't think in days, they think in years and decades.
10. A Constitutional Republic is a type of democracy but not a democracy. if you want a democracy, move to England and join the Red Coats. Ohio is a the former, tell these outsiders to mind their own dang business!
11. Do you want me to come into your house and revise the rules? What if I had lots of money i.e. one of them rich people everyone complains about?

So... out of state rich no names, electing their own representatives, who would have a major play in how Ohio is governed. It sure doesn't read like it "restores fair representation to the people of Ohio". If Democrats had it there way, all major population centers would determine ballot outcomes.
We are becoming Rome. How did things work out for them?
Just like last year, the MSM is leading the emotionally charged populace down a dark path. The Soviet Union loved their useful idiots too. People don't like being called idiots so they'll just get emotional and descend into more moronic state rather than correct course. Yes, steer the vessel into the rocks - intelligent. "How dare you criticize me you racist, homophobic, misogynist Nazi bigot". You're right... I'm a douche kabob jackass, how dare I.
I don't like being cynical but I have tried to lead family, friends, and strangers out the dark. It is not that they disagree or think different, they refuse 'ears to hear, eyes to see' so onward with the echo chamber routine and 'well, that is your opinion'. Sorry, the entire world isn't entirely subjective. Oh wait, it isn't in your backyard so never mind... Get over yourself and who made you god? I don't know about you but letting someone walk off a cliff with a bucket on their head is evil. Killing and mutilating small children is evil. Lying, gossip, slander... evil. Not loving your neighbor as thyself, evil. Hating someone in thought but acting like you love them to their face, evil. Thinking of someone with lust, evil. Using the Lord's name in vain, evil. My Body \ My Choice, Reproductive Rights, Forced Birthers... evil. Stop being passive, think about your assumptions, and repent! If you committed any or all of these acts then you need Jesus Christ NOW! He's an attorney who never lost a case.
Progressive Liberals love to say they aren't influenced by MSM and are "center" on issues. This is such an absolute lie. If you wanted to know who the Marxist is, just study the language they use. No different here... if you want to know who takes MSM\Social Media like the gospel then listen to their words. Quacks like a duck, acts like a duct, then it must be a???
My Body \ My Choice didn't play out so well when folks didn't want the COVID vax, eh? Only when feminists desire to slaughter a child in or out of the womb does it apply... or when a confused teenager suddenly wants to permanently mutilate their body. Maybe they should ask the child what their choice is if alive, secondly ask if they know Jesus. Sure am glad Michael Richard's "mom" failed to abort him... the Seinfeld show would suck without Kramer.

I'm quite fine being an "irredeemable" "garbage" "deplorable". 8th graders built America, 18th graders are destroying it with upside, backwards thinking. 2 + 2 = 5 or whatever the MSM, Social Media, or BFF tells ya. I mean "best friends" are always there for ya, right? Passively agreeing with whatever comes out of your mouth? Yeah, what a great "friend." Hope you aren't walking towards a cliff with a bucket on your head!
The Research has not so mainstream things to know about "ISSUE 1" and assumes you are able to think about things without a paid MSM actor, a blindly parroted Social Media post, or a semi-useless friend...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I am a fed-up jerk with poor grammar. Who cares... find out who and where the money goes and there is your answer. Surely you have ears to hear and eyes to see. Lord, have mercy on us all.
I'm not perfect so let me know.
Issue 1 is funded by out of state money. Deceptively calling themselves “citizens not politicians”. Oh how deceptive.
Who would want unaccountable, unelected, non-removable, all powerful persons doing this?
Only corrupt people. Power.
It is simple. Democrats play to win. Republicans never do. If the Democrats lose in the battle of ideas at the polls, they work to change the rules. And I daresay many Republicans in the legislature don’t want the responsibility.
I’ve only been a resident of Ohio for a few months but I made sure to vote no on 1. It’s a ridiculous idea that people would be willing to give up power to some unelected, unaccountable bureaucratic group — that you’d also have to pay taxes to fund — who will then drift leftward as they all do over time and screw over conservatives.
I haven’t seen much news regarding issue 1, but I hope voters send it down in flames on Tuesday.
Welcome to Ohio.
The state is run by RINOs.
Don’t expect any help from them.
They are worse then the Marxists.
