Ohio GOP tries to rig the 2014 elections

The New Face of Fascism

The Ohio Republican Party adopts Fascism and tries to

keep smaller opposition parties off the ballot.

By Gary;

Neo-Fascist Bullshit like this from the GOP is the reason I now call myself an independent Constitutional Federalist instead of a Conservative Republican.

A corrupt Ohio Republican Party rammed through the GOP legislature the John Kasich Re-Election Protection Act which would disenfranchise every Ohio voter by taking away their right to vote for smaller opposition political parties on the November ballot.

See our original article:  GOP Fears Democracy May Break Out.

The newly passed GOP law comes as Ohio Republicans face growing competition from tea party supporters who say they may support a third-party challenger to Obamacare loving Republican Governor John Kasich. 

If you can't win on the issues then ban your opponents from the ballot.

The Courts Act to Protect Voters from the GOP

On January 7, U.S. District Court Judge Michael H. Watson ruled that due process requires that Ohio not implement its new ballot access barriers for minor parties for the 2014 election.


The Ohio GOP dropped
the elephant in favor
of the Fasces.

The 28-page opinion depends on the fact that the Ohio legislature did not pass the new requirements until November 2013, after various candidates of the minor parties had already been circulating petitions to place themselves on their own party’s primary ballot.

The case is Libertarian Party of Ohio v Husted, southern district, 2:13cv-953 reports Ballot Access News.

The decision also depends on the fact that the new law doesn’t take effect until February 2014. The Republican majority in the legislature wanted the new requirements to take effect immediately, but the bill would have needed 60% in each House of the legislature to take effect immediately, and because some Republican legislators voted against the bill, the bill did not pass with 60% in the State House.

The decision says, “The Ohio Legislature moved the proverbial goalpost in the midst of the game. Stripping the Plaintiffs of the opportunity to participate in the 2014 primary in these circumstances would be patently unfair.”

On January 10, Ohio filed a notice of appeal in Libertarian Party of Ohio v Husted. The state hopes the Sixth Circuit will reverse the U.S. District Court order of January 7, and remove the qualified minor parties reports Ballot Access News.

The only thing missing is a good old fashioned sieg heil right arm salute.



GOP Acts to Ban the Constitution Party
Every democratic nation on earth has all political parties and independent candidates on a single general election ballot so the voters have multiple real choices for their leaders.
.
But Ohio Republicans don't like the idea of free men and women having the right to vote for who they want.  So the GOP passed a law to rig the system and keep the Constitution, Libertarian and Green parties off the ballot. 

The GOP says:  "Keep those small parties off the ballot."

to limit voter choices."

Does the GOP Believe in Anything?
Governor John Kasich and the entire Ohio Republican Party should get on their fucking knees and beg forgiveness from the voters for trying to rig elections in their favor.
.
Somehow I doubt that John Nicholas Hetrick (above) fought to create a country that prevented free elections.
.
The Republicans already banned opposition parties in California.  See for yourself what the GOP is now up to in Montana:  GOP looks to rig Montana's elections.

Democrats Persecute Homeschooling Parents

Your Child Belongs to the State

Democrats launch an assault on your right

to educate your own child.

In a coordinated attack on families, a Democratic state senator in Ohio introduced a bill this month that requires parents to submit to a social services investigation, including background checks, before being “permitted” to homeschool their own children.

Nutcase Democrat State Senator Capri Cafaro authored Senate Bill (SB) 248 was introduced on December 3, 2013, and would require children’s services to review all homeschool notices to determine whether homeschooling is “in the best interest of the child.” Under this proposed legislation, children’s services would be required to meet with parents who choose to homeschool and conduct separate in-person interviews with each of their children reports the Home School Legal Defense Association.

Children’s services would then make a recommendation for or against the excuse from compulsory school attendance.

Children’s services would automatically be required to recommend against homeschooling if they determine it is not in the child’s “best interest” or if the family has any record of a child welfare investigation, regardless of the result of that investigation.

If there is a recommendation against homeschooling, the superintendent would be ordered to delay excusing the children for homeschooling until the family participates in a CPS parenting “intervention.”

The effect of the bill would require children’s services to divert time and resources away from true child abuse investigations in order to review homeschool plans which they are neither prepared nor qualified to evaluate.

This bill is breathtaking in its attempt to impose unreasonable government intrusion on Ohio families. In responding to this ill-advised legislation, however, it is important to keep in mind the background that has led to this bill.
