Will the 1% Steal Ohio's Labor Rights Referendum?

Tuesday's most important vote is the repeal of Ohio's vicious anti-labor Issue 2.

Polls show the repeal winning by 20% or more. But will it - like the 2004 presidential election - be stolen by a 1% intent on crushing working people and stealing huge sums of money?

Like Wisconsin's millionaire assault on the bargaining rights of public unions, the thoroughly bought Ohio legislature has passed a draconian law aimed at crippling the organizing ability of working people.

The attack has the loud, persistent support of Wall Street's hand-picked Governor John Kasich, who made millions as a Foxist commentator and Lehman bond dealer. Among other things, Kasich helped pawn $400 million in Lehman's junk bonds onto the Ohio teacher's pension fund, making him a multi-millionaire. Control of that money would be directly affected by the outcome of this referendum.

4. So they use Diebold? Obama still won.

I think the repeal will pass.

The margin will be big enough so they can't cheat their way through it.

5. My dear Peggy

We here in Ohio have such a golden opportunity tomorrow to right a wrong I will lose it if the referendum gets a "yes" vote and stays a law. The nation is watching.

6. I hear you, and I agree...I have many dear friends in Ohio and this is vital.

But the polls do show it going down to defeat, and by a large margin.

Stay strong! I too will be watching...

GOTV, Ohio!

7. I can not underestimate the lying, cheating Koch Bros....
