For immediate release: Sunday, August 31, 2008 Ohioans For Financial Freedom Files More Than 400,000 Signatures To Give Ohioans Financial Choices and Jobs Columbus? Ohioans For Financial Freedom made its voice loud and clear today filing more than 400,000 signatures with the Ohio Secretary of State from Ohioans who want to keep their financial choices and 6,000 good paying jobs. Ohio consumers and volunteers helped unload the boxes and boxes of signatures helping put a Vote No on Issue 5 measure on the November 4 ballot. “This effort was a great opportunity to hear from Ohioans, and it’s clear from this massive number of signatures there is a strong sentiment among voters that politicians need to stop killing jobs and financial choices in the state – especially when the economy is faltering and businesses are fleeing Ohio, “ said Committee Member Bridgette Roman.“ In signing the petition, Ohioans took part in their democratic right to repeal a bad law (H.B. 545). “Ohioans have been enthusiastic about this effort because they are tired of government inserting itself where it is not needed,” said Roman. “Ohioans deserve to have financial choices.” The number of signatures filed is well over the 241,365 signatures from 44 Ohio counties required by law. The signatures provided to the Secretary of State (SOS), are now sent to the local county boards of elections for verification, then back to the SOS for official certification. Today’s filing of the 400,000 plus signatures comes on the heels of strong endorsements from the Ohio Chamber of Commerce and the Ohio Grocers Association. read more
