Ohio Union Lies, Half-truths, and RACISM!

We Are Ohio, a union front funded primarily from D.C., hates government union reform. The group takes offense at any suggestion public employees should answer to the public, and attacks taxpayers who dare question Ohio’s broken status quo.

Since “union bosses oppose union reform” isn’t the most effective slogan, We Are Ohio’s campaign does some real acrobatics to smear the sensible policies in Senate Bill 5. Rather than highlight the specific awful things in what they claim is an awful bill, union talking points are heavy on emotion… and light on honesty.

PolitiFact has rated not one, but two We Are Ohio TV ads “mostly false,” but that’s not the low point! Union bosses play the race card in a recent radio ad, likening support of Issue 2 to support for Jim Crow laws. We Are Ohio slanders anyone who asks government to live within its means, so I made this video to help fellow bigots cope:

Your Yes vote on Issue 2 will help Ohio taxpayers by limiting the power of government union bosses. It’s obvious where We Are Ohio’s priorities lie… what about you?

Vote Yes on Issue 2!

    I think Better Ohio has at least been putting out some better ads. Maybe something will begin to sink in with the genera public.

    I checked out your website and found a lot of great info there. Have you seen any data/databases that show examples of state union benefits? For example, I saw one article that showed union members pay something like $60/month for their healthcare benefits. Our family, in contrast, pays close to $400/month (not including dental) and that’s from a Fortune 500 company that has a good reputation for having decent benefits.

    I think.if Joe Q. Public could see it in stark numbers like that it would make a huge impact. They are using more obscure numbers, like ‘private sector employees pay 30% more’ which might not have enough impact to sway people’s opinions.
