Hi Ellen,
I have been absolutely swamped with the school renewal campaign and other work. However, I wanted to make sure to pass this information on.
I am sorry I didn't make it as planned last night. My relief for the phone banks never showed up.
Hope all is doing well. As always, if anyone has any political questions, please just contact me. In the meantime, here is some actionable information on Issue 2.
Best,
Bentley
Get the Facts About Issue 2!
I am Anjuli Kronheim, an organizer for Food and Water Watch and I am in Cincinnati to work on the Vote NO on Issue 2 Campaign with OhioACT.
Ohio could become the first state to have corporate agribusiness acting as judge, jury and executioner for all animal agriculture rules and regulations. Who do you think their rules will favor? Safe, local, sustainable agriculture, or the more than 200 factory farms already in the state? We're hoping not to find out. That's why we‚re encouraging our supporters to Vote No on Issue 2.
Issue 2 would amend the Ohio constitution to create an appointed board that will have unchecked power over all Ohio livestock regulations, and is likely to primarily benefit factory farms.
So, big agribusiness is spending millions of dollars to pass this on November 3rd, so we need all the help we can get. I need help with literature drops, and phone banking, which will be taking place EVERY SINGLE DAY OF THE WEEK starting this Monday the 19th all the way through the elections. I've already spoken to a lot of you, and we have a lot of support! Let's keep growing!
My campaign phone number is: 513-720-5796 and I'd love to talk about getting you involved. Call me as soon as possible!
The 'Vote NO on Issue 2 Campaign with OhioACT' Cincinnati headquarters is next door to the Imago Center in Price Hill at 3206 Warsaw Avenue. Unfortunately, there is no easy freeway access to the location, so the instructions may sound complicated. However, once you've been there, it's easy to find the next time. If you want to Google the directions from your location, the zip code is 45205. Anjuli Kronheim, the organizer's, phone number is 513-720-5796. We will be phonebanking every night this week and next from 6-8pm and hanging door hangers every weekend day until the election in order to get out the vote on the issue. We'd love to have you!
Here's more reasons why you should Vote No on Issue 2:
-Consumers care about their food and how it's been produced. Issue 2 will create a board with unchecked power that could radically shift animal production regulations to benefit factory farms, and make it challenging for producers who use more sustainable methods
-Issue 2 will create a permanent place in the Ohio constitution for a board that will represent special interests, the largest corporate agribusiness groups that pollute our environment, and produce food that makes us sick
-Issue 2 will take away democratic control of livestock regulations, and eliminate the public input process for farming standards it creates. The board would have the ability to override state regulation, statues, and ballot initiatives that are not additional constitutional amendments.
The proponents of Issue 2 literally will be the foxes guarding the henhouse if Issue 2 passes, and they're running a multi-million dollar campaign to make sure this happens. Worse yet, their slick campaign tries to trick voters into thinking that Issue 2 will support safe, local food from small farmers. We need you to help us get the truth out about Issue 2 and stop this greedy power grab in the Ohio Constitution. Help us spread the word about Issue 2 and Vote NO on November 3rd!

The Greediest Corporate Agribusiness Move We've Ever Seen!
Help us defeat Issue 2 and the corporate takeover in Ohio
October 21, 2009
Dear Shirley,
Help us stop the threat from corporate agribusiness- every dollar you give will be matched and doubled!
In the most ambitious power grab we've ever seen, corporate agribusiness is trying to write itself into the Ohio constitution- and if it succeeds there, you can be sure that this greedy play will be made in other states. I'm working with small farmers and other concerned citizens to prevent that threat from becoming a reality- and we have less than two weeks to defeat this ballot initiative. Can you help us fund radio ads to defeat this terrible take over?
While masquerading as an attempt to improve food safety and animal welfare, Issue 2 would give a board of political appointees unchecked power to decide any and all regulations related to animal agriculture. The board could make decisions that radically shift policy in any direction on issues like the use of antibiotics and growth hormones, genetically engineered animals, cloned animals, animal ID and traceability, and factory farm zoning reguations.
Proponents of Issue 2 are running a multi-million dollar campaign to trick voters into thinking that Issue 2 will support safe, local food from small farmers. Food & Water Watch intends to run radio ads to counter this slick campaign so voters learn the truth about Issue 2. It's vital that we raise $45,000 by Wednesday, October 28th to pay for these ads. Every dollar you give will actually be worth three, because an anonymous donor will pitch in two dollars for every dollar donated up to $45,000. Please give today - every ad that we can rush onto the airwaves will make a difference in stopping this agribusiness power grab.
Thank you for your support,
Sarah Alexander, Senior Organizer

Issue 2, “Pure evil!” Vote No.
The advertising for this, on behalf of corporate agribusiness, is purely evil. Please take the message to heart, and pass it on.
Thanks.

Subject: Please Vote "No" on Issue 2
It's difficult for us to ask family and friends to consider voting a certain way but the cause seems greater than our egos so please forgive us.
We're asking you to consider voting No on Issue 2. This issue would amend the Ohio constitution in order to create an Ohio Livestock Care Standards Board to oversee animal treatment. As the Humane Society of the US says, "Issue 2 gives the appearance of helping farm animals, it is little more than a power grab by Ohio's agribusiness" which by the way is helping fund the $7 million ad campaign.
This issue is not about family farms and concern for animals. It is about corporate agribusiness keeping the status quo under the shield of the Ohio constitution. Several reputable organizations and many editorial boards in Ohio oppose this measure. It is not backed by the Ohio Farmer's Union. We need serious reform in this area but Issue 2 is not the answer.
If you agree, please widely distribute this (or your own) message to family and friends in Ohio. We are fighting money and political power but votes count. Thanks for considering this.
Linda and Paul Davis
(Paul is a local Buddhist leader and a friend. Great guy. Ellen)
And From Nancy Dawley: Vote NO on Issue 2.
California has voted to get rid of confined animal feeding operations (factory farms). Ohio currently has more than 200 of these operations, and owners are trying to prevent Ohioans from limiting them in the future. Issue 2 is a preemptive strike to keep the status quo and permit more factory farms.
The League of Women Voters has recommended voting NO. Setting up such a Board as a Constitutional Amendment is inappropriate.
The Humane Society of Ohio has recommended voting NO. Why? While designed to give the appearance of helping farm animals, Issue 2 is little more than a power grab by Ohio's agribusiness lobby. The industry-dominated "animal care" council proposed by Issue 2 is really intended to thwart meaningful improvements in how the millions of farm animals in Ohio are treated on large factory farms.
Because it's designed to favor large factory farms, not family farmers, Issue 2 is opposed by the Ohio Farmers Union, the Ohio Environmental Stewardship Alliance, League of Women Voters of Ohio, the Ohio League of Humane Voters, and the Ohio Sierra Club. The editorial boards of Ohio's major newspapers-including the Columbus Dispatch, Cleveland Plain Dealer, Akron Beacon Journal, and Dayton Daily News-all oppose this effort to enshrine the agribusiness lobby's favored oversight system in the state's constitution.
Recent food safety issues are (in my opinion) the result of confined animal feeding operations which are a breeding area for more and more resistant viruses and bacteria. They are also cruel to the animals. Would you like to live in a cage so small you can never raise your arms (like chickens cannot flap their wings) or can not turn around (like many pigs)?
Vote NO on Issue 2.
Nancy Dawley
Vote YES for Issue 7, the Public Library Levy
I see almost twice as many people in my local library these days compared to a year or so ago. People are looking for jobs, using the internet, reading books, newspapers, and magazines they can no longer afford to purchase. If we loose this wonderful resource in our community, it will be near impossible to regain it again - a true loss for all of us. Nancy
Without Issue 7, the Library will be forced to close up to 20 branches, cut an additional 250 staff members, cut hours, decrease computer access by 30%, and slash the purchase of new materials.
With Issue 7, the Library will be able to keep neighborhood branches open, maintain services to keep up with record breaking usage, provide computer and Internet access for workers and residents, and acquire materials people need for work, school and enjoyment

Garrison Keillor on Health Care
I was so wrong
Even people who oppose regulation and don't mind manufacturing hamburger
contaminated by E. coli deserve healthcare
By Garrison Keillor
Oct. 7, 2009
OK, it was wrong of me to say last week that we should deny healthcare to
Republicans except for aspirin and hand sanitizer, and thank you to the
many readers who kindly took me to task. It was so wrong. And I withdraw
the idea that death panels should circulate through red states searching
for the obese and slow afoot, the wheezy and limpy, spray-painting orange
stripes on their ankles, marking them for future harvest. That was very,
very bad.
Republicans have the same right to quality healthcare as anyone else, and
you can quote me on that. Even people who are crazed stark raving berserk
by the thought of a president with three vowels in his last name deserve
to be treated with kindness and dignity, and shot with tranquilizer darts
by game wardens and wrapped in quilts and taken to refuge.
What has come along to change my mind? Fall, magnificent fall, in all its
grandeur, when the maples are blazing with glory, like young romantic
poets dying as they are writing their best stuff. John Keats died at 25,
Shelley at 29. Stephen Crane was 28. Franz Schubert was 31, and Mozart was
just a young married guy with a couple of little boys, neither of whom did
much in their lives. One of them had musical talent but was crushed by the
burden of his father's fame. (Great men probably shouldn't have children,
so keep that in mind if you are young and wildly brilliant: Use a condom.)
The maple trees stand in the yards of we stolid Midwesterners and they cry
out for unbridled passion and heartbreaking beauty and fabulous golden
yellows and blazing reds, and they tell us to quit our jobs and fly away
in pursuit of hopeless romance and a life of dance and poetry and spending
your life creating masterpieces that the world will ignore, and of course
we don't listen to the bad advice of trees, we go right ahead fixing our
children's lunches and arranging little enriching experiences for them and
asking them what they want to be for Halloween, and then the rain falls
and the wind blows and romanticism is gone, a heap of rotting leaves on
the ground. Sic transit gloria mundi, pal.
That is what fall means in St. Paul, Minn. It's maple trees telling us
about mortality and that life is short and can't be put on Pause and each
of us is as fragile and forgettable as a maple tree. We go racing past
them fighting our petty battles for power and parking spaces, and then we
die (arghh) and people glance at the obit and if you're young, like Keats
and Shelley, they feel a little twinge, and if you aren't they don't, and
then they go back to telling their kids about the importance of correct
spelling and grammar, which every good parent should do.
In the great contest of autumn -- Art & Adventure vs. Parenthood, Hitting
the Road in Search of the True You vs. Attending Parent-Teacher
Conferences & Hearing About How We Need to Work On Sharing -- Republicans
vote Neither. They're mostly about maximizing profit in the short run.
They are the folks who buy a healthy company and then sink it under an
enormous debt load that goes to pay them a vast profit even though the
company is sinking, and the creditors get shafted.
They are the ones who are dead-set against government regulation and do
not mind manufacturing hamburger patties contaminated by E. coli, and if
someone becomes terribly ill from eating one -- a young woman in Minnesota
almost died from a Cargill hamburger and will likely never walk again --
nonetheless Republicans remain staunchly opposed to G-men snooping around
the slaughterhouse, and so I should never eat another Big Mac or Whopper
or any other ground meat other than that ground from whole sirloin by a
butcher as I watch. Never.
We are back to the 19th century so far as meat is concerned. This has been
accomplished by those incredibly rude men who occupy first class on the
airplane and elbow themselves ahead of elderly women in line as they
yammer into dangly cellphones. They have nothing to do with art and even
less to do with bringing up children. They are a danger to society and an
embarrassment to their children. Nonetheless, if one of them falls down
with a heart attack, he should be cared for, same as anyone else.
