Day after Ohio SB5 loses big time.....

Ohio public unions voted for their own self interest, and a high number of Ohio voters not involved in unions supported them...

Now, those who won yesterday have to return the favor.

I want all who voted yesterday in Ohio to defeat SB5 to please support

the working poor, unemployed, uninsured and down trodden by NOT VOTING EVER AGAIN FOR ANOTHER REPUBLICAN.

Many teachers, cops and firefighters freely admitted they had voted for Kasich. I beg that they never ever vote Republican again.

1. I will add that if they had backed heath insurance for all, two years ago..
...they would have been less vulnerable with SB5. These folks need to stand up for the self employed who suffer the cost of huge health insurance premiums purchased on the outside of these huge unions! This points out how 'Obamacare needs to be enhanced to insure that all Americans can have health care!

I stood with the unions on this one, while my own health insurance is eating me alive. It was the right thing to do!

2. Look, if they haven't learned a valuable lesson after this fiasco, then I'm not
sure if anything can convinced them.

In my best Faye Dunnaway-Joan Crawford 'Mommy Dearest' voice:

NO MORE REPUBLICANS!! EVER!!!

K&R!! :kick::kick::kick:

3. The price of change is pain. Our dear public union members have suffered a lot
of pain this entire year....how long the pain of the intense work and money and hours spent devoted to making sure SB5 was repealed will stay with public union members who typically vote GOP is a huge question in my mind.

I hope and pray they don't get amnesia at the next election.

4. One more thing.....yesterday's victories are just that.....yesterday. People cannot
think that it is over and done. It is just beginning.

That's all I have to say. The End.
