THE OHIO PROJECT
COLUMBUS, Monday March 22, 2010 - The Ohio Liberty Council, a statewide coalition of over 25 grassroots groups, today submitted a proposed state constitutional amendment that will "preserve the freedom of Ohioans to choose their health care and health care coverage." The amendment, drafted by the 1851 Center for Constitutional Law, would protect Ohioans from the financial burdens and individual mandates contained in the new federal health care measure passed by Congress. The group filed constitutional amendment summary language and nearly 3,000 signatures from registered voters in 48 counties with the Ohio Secretary of State and Attorney General.
From: Joe Bozzi
The Ohio Project is to pre-register people for signing ballot initiative petitions, particularly the health care freedom petition. Also attached is a half page informational flier and radio call in numbers. (contact local/state C4L coordinator if you didn't receive in email)
************************************************************
With the Ohio Attorney General refusing to file suit against the Federal Government it's now left to We The PEOPLE of Ohio to stop the Obama-care Mandate. Maurice Thompson, a constitutional attorney who helped kick ACORN out of Ohio permanently, has written the amendment proposal for the state constitution and truly believes it has standing to nullify Obama-care. Here is the amendment language we circulated in the initial petition drive last weekend.
IT IS NOW UP TO US. In order to get the amendment on the November ballot we'll need to collect upwards of 600,000 registered voter signatures by the end of June. THE FACTS ARE SUCH: We have no money and very little time. The odds of us collecting that many registered voter signatures is highly improbable. Improbable -- but NOT impossible. Our only hope lies in technology, organization, and the networking power of the Tea Party Movement. HERE IS THE PLAN: 1. The petition was submitted on Monday, March 22 and the AG could take up to 20 days to certify and give us the green light. We cannot collect signed petitions until that time. This may cost us 20 days of opportunity. 2. We have therefore set up a website (TheOhioProject.com) for people to pre-register to sign. Once we get certified we must hit the ground running, and pre-registration will allow us to quickly locate those interested. Needing approximately 600,000 signatures (which includes those that will be dismissed) and missing 20 days leaves us way behind! Therefore it is CRITICAL we get as many people pre-registered as soon as possible. 3. Along with needing 402,275 valid & certified signatures, we must also conform to specific percentage requirement from 44 of the 88 counties. From at least 44 counties we must achieve signatures totaling at least 10% of the total votes cast in the last gubernatorial election (2006). Here's a link showing how many are need from each county. Right-most column (10%). Using the database we will be able to sort by county and keep a running total of those interested. When we reach a specific number we will contact everyone in that area and establish a meeting place where they can come and sign the petition. We can have spreadsheets printed off and check off the voters, discovering who we're missing. We can then make arrangements to have someone drop by their home to get the signature. No more wasted time outside libraries or post offices, we can actually go door-to-door with those who have signed up. Again, without money or time, we need to conserve resources and be very focused. 4. We must use every available means to get this information out ASAP. Again we need approximately 6,000 per day and we cannot wait for the AG to start finding our supporters. Therefore, please use Facebook, Twitter, Meet-ups, churches, neighborhood associations, family, friends, and neighbors to rally to http://www.TheOhioProject.com. Additionally there will be Ohioans who are not connected to liberty groups or facebook, but listen to talk radio. To multiply our networking power we need to have people call both national and state talk radio and let them know about the site and the importance to pre-register NOW. Attached is a list of radio shows and call in numbers. (contact local/state C4L coordinator)
5. GOALS By this Sunday, March 28, we hope to have 10,000 pre-registered patriots. If we can then encourage each of them to reach out and find 5 more, we'll have another 50k (total 60k) the following weekend. The incoming 50k can then recruit 5 each and bring our total to 310,000 in 3 weeks. One more turn of 2 people each and we've reached our goal. IT IS FEASIBLE THAT WE COULD REACH 600,000 BEFORE THE AG CERTIFIES US ---- wouldn't that blow their minds! But we cannot do it without everyone truly pitching in, making calls, sending emails, and talking to neighbors and co-workers. IT'S TIME TO TAKE A STAND AGAINST OPPRESSIVE GOVERNMENT.

Here's a little something to make your day. It appears our Congressman John Boccieri has made some enemies in the Ohio Coal Association. This is on St. Rt. 18 about 100 yards east of Windfall Rd. It is on the right side of the road if you are heading West toward 71, but the sign faces East. Its on the back side of another billboard that faces west of Medina Ohio. Word has it another is on St Rt 3 south near Chippewa Rd. and on 21 near Massillon.
Wouldn't a billboard project be fun? I'm sure some of you have past experience from the 2008 campaign 
THANK YOU member Gail Maimone for the great photography and report! This is indeed encouraging.

Smithville, OH | Yes, very accurate and heart warming to say the least. Had one fellow so excited wrote saying he was 'on his way to see it'! lol
Here is simple billboard I had ready for new location in my area couple months ago. At first owner was ready then when time came to finalize he stopped communicating. After numerous calls and email, still no reply. Maybe he had second thoughts about political ads?

Our congressman John Boccieri is the 279th co-sponsor of the Federal Reserve Transparency Act. Yes, I'm as shocked as all of you. 
Thanks to all who never gave up with the letters, phone calls and petitions. Please feel free to call/write and thank him for doing the right thing.

Ashland, OH | I am shocked since everytime I called they would not comment on whether he would support the audit the fed, but wait, he may know that they will never pass it. Do not trust him, he is absolutely with obama 100% of the time. He is a socialist for sure |

Ashland, OH | I meant to say, he probably has checked to make sure the senate will never pass the audit the fed, but I am thankful Bocceiri has signed on to it... |

Perhaps Obama was being truthful in his belief that economic recovery depends on healthcare ..... well, sort of. Is this possibly the mother of all bailouts, a bubble ready to burst?
Just some personal observations include since the early 70's (managed care), increased building new medical facilities, never ending expansion and remodeling at area hospitals even small rural ones, hospitals taken over by 'management services', CEO salaries that would make Bernanke drool, boom of big Pharma, etc. My area has pretty much been taken over by Cleveland Clinic and we are located 50 miles away in farm country. I've lost count on the increased number of 'physicians' available over the past couple of decades and it's still growing.
Is obamacare is the ultimate bailout? We know the federal gov. is responsible for warping the health care 'industry' much the same as the housing market and everything else they break and fix with more regulation. Certainly the Healthcare Industry is too big to fail? As jobs continue to vanish, so does the health care/insurance that was tied to them. Oh how will they survive?
I've not found anything written on this and hope that some of you expert Austrians could respond. Is this indeed a 'bubble' ready to burst .... To Big To Fail, more Bailout? Should our objections include Healthcare Industry Bailout?

Modesto, CA | It is a big bubble. The only new construction going on in our town seems to have to do with pharmacies. CVC, Walgrens, RiteAide, etc. Funny thing is they are all almost across the street from each other, or they are building one across the street from an existing pharmacy. My friends 11 y.o. son asked, "Are there that many people on drugs?" (or something similar.) |

Fredericksburg, VA | You have hit the nail on the head: health care is a bubble, just like the other bubbles caused by monetary policy and other government actions. That is precisely the reason why costs have gone up so dramatically since Medicare was enacted in 1965. Yes, the outrageous cost of health care is directly the result of government intervention. And Mises pointed out long ago that every time the government causes a problem, it seeks more power to correct that problem. |
