I've emailed my representative, Darrell Kick, twice now. Once before Wednesday's vote and again yesterday while the house was discussing further changes to issue 2.
The onslaught of emails they received the first time is the whole reason why they started panicking and couldn't get anything passed on Wednesday.
It worked, and I also highly suggest everyone do the same.
But please write your own email, hundreds of identical emails won't send the same message as hundreds of unique voices all saying similar things.

What you guys need to do is do a lawsuit and sue the government. Making tweeks is one thing, straight ignoring the will of the people is another.

Did like one thing they added, but feels like it should have been in from the start.

I think we need a new corollary to "every accusation is a confession": everything they promise is something they want to take away.

Gerrymanders, mostly. If we played ball the way they did, first off nobody should vote for us then because we'd be assholes too, but also, they'd disappear in a puff of smoke.

It's a pleasant daydream sometimes, but we'd be selling our souls to corruption just to win, which probably wouldn't end well.

rural people and the the god-fearing. look at the maps, there is a reason they have to gerrymander.

it takes less human density to be capable of the lack of empathy of which conservatives exemplify.

Nowhere to buy it? I'd link you to the darknet but I ain't gonna convince some sucker to do anything but use taxi. Even for that I don't give a fuck about anything pushing to you educate yourself on doing smart shit like using GNU/Liniux etc. etc.

Can anyone even find a conservative who claims with a straight face to be for small government anymore? I'd literally laugh them out of the room if someone said that in my presence.

Ohio is actually, despite a lot of prejudices (albeit justified in many instances), a very open and happy place for all folks. The Republican Party took major points, especially with Covid. I’ve seen a jump in anger and even hate to everything that is not “my thing and my right”, basically the last big guy’s thinking.

The young folks in Ohio and really not liking what they are seeing and they are the next generation of leaders.

The biggest problem is democrats and their in ability to do anything useful aside form condemning the shit others do. The party of do nothing fast

“The Corporations as People Act/Ruling” what I like to call the beginning of the end of America, is THE single most dangerous thing ever in America’s, and let’s be real, the worlds existence.

• btw, corpos don’t get forced to suck dick in prison or other movie stuff like you peasants

Ohio isn't backwards. The fact that both issues 1 & 2 passed by such (relatively) large margins is evidence of this.

Thanks to gerrymandering, our leadership IS regressive and backwards thinking. But I'll be damned if I'm going to jump ship instead of staying and fighting.

There's a very progressive population of new or about to be new voters living in those gerrymandered districts who can absolutely help turn the tide. Then there's all the Gen X folks like me who were too apathetic or cynical to vote (especially in midterms and local elections) who are suddenly witnessing how important their participation is.

I'm not a religious man at all, but I have faith in this state and the people who live here.

Many people don't have the luxury of leaving their support network behind.

Alternatively, I live in Texas and I'm not going be chased out of my home by bigots. I'll do my part in cancelling out the vote of some racist lunatic. If we all leave it just empowers the people who want us gone anyway.
