Power-hungry Republicans won't relent even with Issue 1 defeat | Letters

The overwhelming defeat of Issue 1 is a triumph for those who believe in a strong constitutional republic. The Ohio Legislature was trying to remove any vestige of balance of power in our state. In the last few years, they have ignored Supreme Court decisions which have said they are violating the Constitution of Ohio concerning public school funding and redistricting. They have defied public opinion which favors more responsible gun ownership and have actually gone in the other direction. But this power-hungry majority in Columbus will show no signs of relenting. We must be no less bold. We must continue to hold their feet to the fire by communicating on a regular basis with our state representatives to express our feelings and tell them when they are stepping out of line. If we neglect our duty going forward, then the events on election night will prove to be little more than a pyrrhic victory.

4. this!

GOP rat bastards never stop. They don't give a rat's buttocks what the people want. They never listen to the will of the voters. They will keep proposing the same regressive and hateful legislation over and over until voters wear down. Or until voters think the matter was settled the first ten times and grow complacent. This is one of the GOP's most effective, and most maddening, legislative strategies.
