Our Great Victory and You
Our great victory Tuesday night cannot be underestimated. A defeat would have been catastrophic, not only for the November 7 abortion access vote but also for any semblance of democracy ever returning to Ohio. And what you did cannot be underestimated. Not only was it a win – it was a landslide win thanks to you. Cuyahoga County set the tone for the entire state. An 82 – 18 margin after absentee ballots were counted and a final margin of 77 – 23. Those of you who dropped door hangers, wrote postcards, made calls and distributed yard signs made this happen. Thank you very much for an amazing grassroots effort!

Help Save Ohio’s Parks

Please go to Save Ohio Parks for information on how you can make your objections known to the activities of the frackers, and to join the effort to protect instead of exploit for profit, our lands. Please contact Randy Cunningham at randino49@gmail.com for more information
