'No On SB 5′: Final weeks of the petition drive

The first phase of the effort to overturn John Kasich’s union busting law is almost complete. Last night I attended a meeting of local activists that has been getting together regularly throughout the process, and was filled in on some of the details. None of it was for official publication so I won’t release any numbers, but it looks like the totals will be pretty amazing. Even the rough preliminary estimations have blown way past the most wildly optimistic and ambitious benchmarks set by supporters. Watch for it soon, and hang on to your hats.

A few words on the process. We Are Ohio has been attempting to vet the returned petitions before sending them on to the Secretary of State in order to do a preliminary validation. The idea is to make sure the petitions sent back are as solid as possible, and to keep the number rejected to an absolute minimum. The more reliable the numbers are, the better chance we will know exactly where it stands.

The drop dead date for getting signatures to the Secretary of State is June 30th. We Are Ohio is trying to get its stragglers back by around a week before in order to check them. Anyone running an effort independent of We Are Ohio (or who procrastinates past roughly the end of next week) will have to get the signatures to Columbus themselves.

Starting July 1st we will enter something of a twilight zone. There will be no ballot-related activity for folks to engage in, and until it actually gets approved there will not even be a specific measure to promote. And obviously with summer vacation in full swing lots of people are off doing their own thing. So how to keep it in the public consciousness?

One way is to give it some visibility at fairs, festivals and so on. Any place where there will be booths for local community or political groups, there are opportunities for activists to get the word out. I am already signed up for one next weekend, and will likely help at several others in July and August. (If you’d like to help drop me a note in the comments!)

Another is the initiative being run by Proud Ohio Workers. According to its site it “was created to allow merchants across the state to show that they recognize public employee support for their shops.” It has created an interactive map showing the businesses that support the initiative, and they can show that support with a Proud Ohio Workers sticker. Customers who see it will obviously be reminded of the issue, and activists can help get the word out about them.
