Ohio conservatives, please vote for the controls on public employee unions. We in Wisconsin got it done and our schools have a lot more choices on how to keep quality education, yet save on paying for excessive salaries, teacher-owned health ins co.s or pay more taxes for the same old, same old. Why should a clerk at the DMV have better benefits than the taxpayers who pony up the $$ ?

I plan to. I’ve seen a lot of “No on 2” signs, though. Ugh.

The Ohio Tea Party has been non-existent on this issue. The “No on Issue 2” ads are everywhere and they are the worst kind of demagoguing you can imagine: (”If Issue 2 passes, my granddaughter might die in a house fire because there won’t be enough firefighters.”) Total garbage.

Hardly seen any Yes on Issue 2 ads. If Conservatives and Republicans don’t even bother to fight for what they believe in, than we don’t deserve to win.

I wrote letters to Gov. Kasich and A.G. Mike Dewine complaining about the use of public property (buildings and fire equipment) in TV ads for the repeal of SB 5. Kasich’s office ignored the letter. Mike Dewine’s office told me to contact the board of elections. The Dayton Daily News didn’t publish my letter. Yard signs are everywhere supporting NO... very few to be seen for the opposition. There has not been an effective advertising campaign in support of SB 5.

If the Ohio voters vote to repeal it, they do not have any right to complain about unemployment. They can go down with the sinking union ship.

Try to imagine a regulation of labor imposed by force that is not a violation of liberty; a transfer of wealth imposed by force that is not a violation of property. If you cannot reconcile these contradictions, then you must conclude that the law cannot organize labor and industry without organizing injustice.

The law can be an instrument of equalization only as it takes from some persons and gives to other persons. When the law does this, it is an instrument of plunder.

With this in mind, examine the protective tariffs, subsidies, guaranteed profits, guaranteed jobs, relief and welfare schemes, public education, progressive taxation, free credit, and public works. You will find that they are always based on legal plunder, organized injustice.

It is impossible to introduce into society a greater change and a greater evil than this: the conversion of the law into an instrument of plunder.

Above all, if you wish to be strong, begin by rooting out every particle of socialism that may have crept into your legislation. This will be no light task.

The Law - Frederic Bastiat

Issue 2 on Ohio’s November 8 ballot poses a simple question to voters: Should SB5, Ohio’s government reform effort to get control back from union bosses, be allowed to go into effect?

Michelle Malkin is wrong on an important point. Her question is: "should SB5...be allowed to go into effect?"

The answer most conservatives would want to hear is "NO."

However the actual ballot will ask:

Shall the law (SB5) be approved?
___Yes(To approve the law)
___No(To reject the law)

The correct answer is YES. We want Kasich's law approved.

So, while Malkin is probably using journalist license in explaining the situation, she is setting up people to think in terms of answering "no". The right answer on the ballot will be "yes".
