Governor FAUX News troll John Kasich is about to get his ass handed to him for his attacks on America's middle-class and union workers.

Stop_SB_5 The campaign working to repeal the heinous anti-worker bill in Ohio has collected more than three times the required signatures to put a referendum to overturn the bill on the November ballot. Further, they have done so with two weeks to spare before the June 30 deadline for submitting signatures. Daily Kos: Ohio: Campaign to repeal SB 5 collects over 714,000 signatures, 231,000 required:

Earlier today, We are Ohio announced on their Facebook page that they had collected 714,137 signatures, way above the 231,000 required. Even at a 60% validation rate for the signatures, which is the worst case scenario for the campaign, it now appears certain that enough signatures will be gathered by the June 30 deadline. In fact, it now appears certain double the required number of signatures will be deemed valid.

This signature gathering campaign does not just force a November referendum on the bill. It actually prevents the bill from going into law until the results of the referendum are certified. As such, if the repeal wins in November, which seems likely, then SB 5 will never become law. This is shaping up to become a total defeat for Ohio Governor John Kasich and his union-busting allies.

If only Arizonans were as politically active and motivated as voters in Wisconsin, Michigan and Ohio, maybe we wouldn't be in the sorry state we are in today. Stand up and fight back! Don't expect someone to do your fighting for you.

  1. I would not make so much out of a couple of hundred thousand public union members getting all hissy because the gravy train is ending. That leaves over 4,000,000 Ohio voters who are tired of the unholy alliance between the democrat party and the unions. November can’t come soon enough. Nor can November 2012.

    Apologies in advance if this turnos out to be a double post.
