SECTION TWO: Events and Opportunities

VOTE ON TUESDAY!
Here’s how I voted...(used absentee ballot. ) ellen
Mayor: Mallory

Council: (I only voted for the 4 progressive incumbents plus Bernadette Watson who has a great chance, rather than 9. Not crazy about the other 4 Dem. Nominees.)
Roxanne Qualls
Greg Harris
Cecil Thomas
Laketa Cole
Bernadette Watson

School Bd:
Catherine Ingram
Lisa Schare
Joyce Hooks
Jason Haap (green party candidate). Or you might prefer Ceair Baggett, the other Dem nominee)

Issue 1: (to provide small bonuses for veterans of recent wars) NO
Issue 2: (constitutional ammendment to set up agriculture regulatory board; scam of the corporate agribusinesses): NO

Issue 3: to allow cassinos in Ohio: Cinti, Cols., and Cleveland. (I voted Yes, but weakly)

Issue 4: tax levy: welfare dept: YES
Issue 5: tax levy, mental retardation board: YES
Issue 6: tax levy for Museum Center: YES
Issue 7: tax levy for library: YES

Issue 8: charter amendment to prohibit city council from selling off our water works, which would be a stupid idea, like eating up all your seed corn because you are hungry today. So I voted YES.

Issue 9: charter amendment to prohibit city council from making decisions about street car, light rail, other passenger transportation systems. Cumbersome to make such decisions by referendum; plus I have been persuaded to support street car. So vote NO

Dear Food and Water Watch Member,
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!
