All eyes on OH SB5 vote tomorrow



Corporate stooge Ohio Gov. John Kasich actually said something last week that we agree with:
Win or lose, America is taking notice of what is happening in our state.
The battle over the union-busting SB5 bill will be resolved tomorrow when voters go to the polls. One way or the other it will send a message to politicians around the country on whether it pays to bust unions or not.

If we lose, politicians like Koch whore Scott Walker will be emboldened to attack workers again. If we win, politicians like Mitt Romney will back off their promises to kill laws that protect working families.

The election could be tight. Corporate CEOs and Wall Street billionaires poured secret amounts of money into the "Yes on Issue 2" campaign at the last minute. We know that nothing gets in the way of their attacks on workers -- especially in Ohio, where they'll suppress the vote and possibly engage in electronic election theft.

We need 50 percent plus one vote to win. If you live in Ohio, make sure YOU are that one vote.
