Repeal of SB5 will mean higher taxes and more public workers laid off. Higher taxes to pay for retirement and health care for union parasites. Vote yes on issues 2 and 3.

Courage may be defined as: doing what`s right, regardless of the consequences. History will show that Kasich and the legislature, gave up popularity, re-election, and even personal safety for their state. Whether they win or loose this battle, my respect and admiration for their actions, cannot be deminished.

Don't be fooled Mr Kasich is doing nothing more that breaking unions. Public employees first - Fordn Chevy you are next!!!!

To learn more about Issue 2, visit BetterOhio.org. There are a number of facts that need to be understood before election day this Tuesday.

The ferver with which this debate is being conducted leads me to only one conclusion ... someone (i;m not sure who) is about to get rich. Thus, I suggest you "follow the money."

“Follow the money,” was the memorable quote from the 1976 film "All the President’s Men." Deep Throat advised Bob Woodward that the key to understanding the Watergate mystery was a money trail. I have to beileve the same holds true with regard to Issue 2, as NO ONE fights harder that when $$$ lining their popckets is involved.

@James Thomas - great ... so you've answered 1/2 of the question. Can you fill me in on the other 1/2 of the question: who gets rich should the VOTE YES ON 2 forces win?

Mr Thomas: You should be good in mazes---you have followed the "Money Trail" and you have found the shortest of many paths--all leading to the Union Coffers.

Vote Yes for Ohio----Vote Yes on Issue2[SB5]

I disagree with the governor's statement that passing Issue 2 will build a better Ohio. Ohio needs jobs. Both the governor and the unions want more jobs in Ohio. The state should set an example of how one can work with unions to achieve a common goal. It appears to me that government bureaucracy contributes to the major negative job-creation environment

In recent decades, no interest group has seen its influence wane more than the labor movement. From a high point of a 35 percent unionized work force in 1945, by 2010 only 11.9 percent of working Americans belonged to unions. In the private sector, it is only 6.9 percent. It should come as no surprise that middle-class earnings have declined as union membership has decreased.

Few Americans fully grasp the contributions to our quality of life that have been made by organized labor. Were it not for protracted struggles, the workplace would likely be as dangerous and deadly as it once was. As a result of intense union pressure, for instance, the rate of workplace deaths declined 90 percent from 1933 to 1997. Over 2,000 years ago, Aristotle warned of this "rule by the few." He observed that oligarchies were inherently unstable and did not work well for anyone, not even the oligarchs themselves.

That brings us back to political theory. The late Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis may not have been familiar with the particulars of pluralist theory back in 1941, but he got the idea right when he wrote, "We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both."

Please vote no on Issue 2. The stakes are high.

Follow the money. The Unions have spent 4 times on no vote than the public, Where is it coming from. ?? Follow the democratic line in past 4 years. Lies, Lies. Lies. Who supports this. Unions. As Jimmy Hoffa so aptly put. Destroy the S.O.B.s. Meaning the average American. Enough is enough. Our President, Congress, Senate, Has call us Terrorists. Ex Service members the same. T party members have been called every name the democratic party can call some one. The democratic party also supports the no vote on number 2. SO WHO DO YOUR THINK IS TELLING THE TRUTH HERE. VOTE YES ON 2. Myron Holley

I wish we could follow the money over at Building a Better Ohio. But, they won't release donors amounts or addresses. What are THEY hiding. I smell the Koch Brothers
