You Voted, Now What? Civic Engagement After the Election (Hamilton County, OH, PUBLIC library sneakily engages in Democratic activism!!!)

Written in collaboration with the Ohio Voter Rights Coalition

Civic engagement doesn’t begin and end at the ballot box. While voting is a critical part of making your voice heard, the work isn’t over after the first Tuesday in November. Whether that involves engaging in activism, advocacy, education, or something else, Antoinette Asimus from the Ohio Voter Rights Coalition provided a list of suggestions for keeping civically engaged after the election.

Join a local organization

Asimus recommended several groups that center around voting and voters rights:

- League of Women Voters - Cincinnati Area

- Ohio Voter Rights Coalition

- Common Cause Ohio

- All On The Line is the grassroots advocacy campaign supported by the National Redistricting Action Fund to end gerrymandering.

- The Matriots, who use the tagline When Women Lead, Ohio Prospers.

Engage in legislative advocacy for voting rights

Observe, give testimony, and advocate at the Statehouse when it reconvenes in November for legislation on issues such as:

- Number of drop boxes per county

- Make it possible for voters to apply online for absentee ballots

- Non-partisan redistricting reform to end gerrymandering. This is coming up in 2021 and 2022.

- Automatic voter registration through the Bureau of Motor Vehicles

- Change legislation curtailing ballot initiatives which are the way citizens have a direct voice in democracy

- Carefully monitor purging of voter rolls

Advocate for specific reforms that allow democracy to advance

Listen to what’s going on nationally and how it can impact people locally. Some of these issues are already in the news and are likely to receive more attention after the Nov. 3 election.

Then advocate for non-partisan democratic reforms such as:

- Stop the gridlock in the Senate – the big issue here is the filibuster. Learn about how it benefits, and how it disadvantages, democracy.

- Remain in compliance with the Constitution to make the Senate and the House more representative of the U.S. population

- Modernize the Supreme Court, again in compliance with the Constitution

- Stop voter suppression wherever it occurs

- Expand access to voting for eligible citizens

- Reform the media. Support local media and advocate for oversight and regulations of monopolies and conglomerates.

Advocacy on a local level can also come in the form of joining your neighborhood community council, tuning into City Council meetings and participating in public comment, and getting involved with local organizations that advocate around issues that are important to you.

Self-Educate

Here are a few of Asimus’ favorite related titles, available at the Library:

How Democracies Die (Levitsky, Steven, 2018)

Unrigged (Daley, David, 2020)

Vote for US (Douglas, Joshua A., 2019)

Surviving Autocracy (Gessen, Masha, 2020)

The Road to Unfreedom (Snyder, Timothy, 2018)

This is just evil!

Apparently straight from the DNC to public library patrons, the Hamilton County (Cincinnati) Public Library has this "non-partisan" activism guide on the front page of its web site today, and actually it's all about targeting battleground states for Democrats, pushing pro-abortion female politicians, and smearing Republicans as fascists -- disguised as "non-partisan" advice on how to get civically engaged.

Among other things, the guide points readers to "All on the Line," which opposes gerrymandering and which has helpfully identified some especially troublesome states they want to target for "reform" in coming years. Namely:

Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Wisconsin.

"All on the Line" is a Democratic operation, a project with close ties to Eric Holder and Barack Obama:

"The NRAF’s targeted litigation and national census efforts are coordinated with its two “sister” affiliates: the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, a Democratic Party PAC chaired by Eric Holder, and the National Redistricting Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. The organizations share the same Washington, D.C. office space. [2]

"In August 2019, former president Barack Obama announced Redistricting U, an educational program by NRAF’s project All On the Line that aims to provide liberal volunteers throughout the country with the tools needed to affect the redistricting process in their state. [3] [4] [5]"

The guide also recommends "The Matriots," which is said to be a bipartisan group of female political candidates. Their tie, though, is that they participated in the 2017 Women's March and must be pro-abortion.

And rather than helping you find a book on a topic of interest, which was what libraries used to do, this library recommends that you advocate for no less than changing the form of the Supreme Court:

"Modernize the Supreme Court, again in compliance with the Constitution"

A list of book recommendations at the conclusion is fearmongering on Donald Trump and the supposed fascist American right -- blatant electioneering and all funded by taxpayer dollars!

I’m wondering if it will take something more than “civic” engagement to stop democrats from stealing our votes. These vote dumps are doing just that.

IT AIN’T OVER ‘TIL IT’S OVER.
AND IT AIN’T OVER YET.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Please join us in binding and loosing, speaking the below out loud to the unseen world, speaking to our enemies in the gate, putting them to derision as in Ps2. Binding and loosing has a large effect, especially done regularly. Thank you. A sibling in Christ.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Time to Bind and Loose - Mt 18:18 and 16:19 and Luke 10:19

Do not be discouraged. Now is the time.

Galatians 6:9
“ And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”

Do not faint. Bind and Loose. Out Loud. Speak to our enemies in the gate. In Derision - Psalm 2. Speak the below out loud. Bind the spirits of FRAUD. Loose the Spirits of Truth.

DO NOT FALTER NOW.

BINDING & LOOSING

In the Name of Jesus Christ, WE bind the rulers, the strongmen, doorkeepers and all connected, related and resulting demons of ELECTION FRAUD, FALSE WEIGHTS AND MEASURES, witchcraft, Satan worship, human and animal sacrifice, magic, witchcraft control, mind control, mind occult and the occult of, over, in and working in and through:

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND each and every state, territory, possession, parish, borough, ward, reservation, county, city, township, suburb, street, neighborhood, block, home and church. AND EVERY ELECTORAL MACHINE AND VOTE COUNTING PERSON AND ENTITY.

ESPECIALLY THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, WHICH IS NOT A PART OF ANYTHING PREVIOUSLY NAMED.

PLUS EVERY POLLING STATION, USPS STATION AND EMPLOYEE, AND ALL POLL WATCHERS, ELECTORAL WORKERS, COUNTERS, AND ALL IN AUTHORITY OVER SAME.

AND MOST ESPECIALLY, ALL PERSONS AND ALL ENTITIES HAVING ANYTHING TO DO WITH MASS MEDIA OF ANY SORT: TELEVISION, NEWSPAPERS, AND SOCIAL MEDIA.

we loose, in the name of Jesus, upon and into all of Satan’s children, partaking
of and planning these wicked and evil practices, the spirits of:

Confusion, Forgetfulness, Destruction; also spirits of Salvation, Adoption as Children of God (Romans 8:15) and Deliverance.

We LOOSE the SPIRIT OF TRUTH OVER AND INTO EVERY GOVERNMENT AGENCY, POLITICAL ORGANISATION, ELECTORAL REPORTING AGENCY, REPORTER, NEWS BUREAU, NEWS REPORTING AGENCY, SOCIAL MEDIA PERPETRATOR, AND TALKING HEAD, ALONG WITH ALL PUBLICITY PERSONS AND ENTITIES AND COMPANIES, THAT THEY TELL THE TRUTH, OVER THE AIR AND ELECTRONICALLY AND ON PAPER, WHETHER THEY MEAN TO DO SO OR NOT.

We loose submission upon those our enemies. We loose salvation and deliverance upon our enemies. Save them, Lord.

we ask You, Father, to put a special covering of angels over each ceremony, coven, witch and warlock,

SPECIFICALLY INCLUDING ALL THOSE PLANNING AND PERPETRATING ELECTORAL FRAUD AND SEDITION, and committing misfeasance,malfeasance, and/or negligence, so that no curse or demon can emerge or be sent.

In the Name of Jesus, we return to the senders all curses, vexes, hexes, spells and demons that they have already or will attempt to send out, especially all those having to do with fraud or false weights. (Psalm 109)

Father, WE ask You to send special angels to protect (Exodus 8:22, 23), hide and put a hedge around (Job 1:10; Hosea 2:6) all your children who are in law enforcement and the armed forces; and all people and laws that would be sought out to be sacrificed or to be cursed, and all who are sounding the alarm and calling out and exposing evil.

May we do Your will today, O Lord God Almighty.

In Jesus’ Name, amen.
