Reasons to be cheerful, Part 1

The We Are One campaign in Ohio has collected over 700,000 signatures to overturn the union-busting bill SB 5.  The campaign needs 231,000 signatures to force a referendum in November, and they have collected over three times that many--as I read earlier, signature gathering campaigns usually shoot for 140% of the necessary signatures to cover up for errors.

Short version:  This will be on the ballot in November, until then, the law cannot go into effect, and since the voters of Ohio are overwhelmingly against the law, it will be overturned in November and never go into effect.

Woo-hoo!  A win for the little guys....

Peace,
