A week or so ago,
Cleveland Tea Party posted a blog examining some pros and cons of Issue #1,
which will be on the ballot in November.
Today, Ken Blackwell, former Ohio Secretary of State, leads
off his article “Ohio’s ‘Issue 1’: A Dangerous and Deadly Proposition” with:
They are at it again! Liberal
billionaires George Soros, Mark Zuckerberg and Nicholas Pritzker are attempting
to force their left leaning ideology on Ohioans.
This time it’s by spending millions of dollars to weaken Ohio’s drug laws.
Soros, Zuckerberg and Pritzker are the lead funders of
state Issue 1, a dangerous state constitutional amendment that gives drug
dealers a get out of jail free card.
They want you to believe their proposal is in line with marijuana reforms
in other states. It’s not. They will say it’s in the interest of public safety,
and will lead to better treatment options for addicted Ohioans. It won’t.
. . .
Drug
abuse has had a disproportionate effect on Ohio families, and tragically, our
state is ground zero in the fight against overdoses. Law enforcement officials
are overwhelmed by the overdose crisis and we cannot afford, in terms of
treasure and human suffering, more of these drugs on the streets. But that will
be the legacy of Issue 1.
