It’s wasted effort, but if the labor unions spend $30 million fighting it, then it might be worth it.

Except that it will draw liberals to the polls.

Note what happened the last time Ohio tried this. The reality is that Ohioans need to have a generation die off before it can competently govern itself. Until then many thousands of irretrievably brain-infected voters will continue to commit political suicide for the sake of a long-gone and forgotten era.

No, we know their weak point now. It took years for conservatives to finally figure out that public employee unions are the real enemy. It is only recently that we've really put 2 and 2 together and took the fight right to the lefts power base.

A right to work ballot initiative will be easier to sell than Issue 2 was. The unions managed to frame the issue as mean conservatives trying to take a RIGHT away from people, so even many Republicans voted against it. Right to work laws offer to give rights to people - the right to CHOOSE whether to be in a union or not.

Public sector unions are the liberal jugular vein. To stop the left, you've got to cut off their source of funding. They are living off what is effectively tax payer dollars which they use to promote leftist causes. We have to break that cycle. This initiative is a great idea - in fact, we should be putting these on the ballot in every union dominated state.
