Save Early Voting in Ohio: Help Enact the Citizens' Veto for Ohio House Bill 194

Add your name: http://my.barackobama.com/citizensvetovid

Ohio Republicans have pushed through a new law that dramatically limits access to early voting. We can stop these rules from affecting voters in 2012 with an official petition to enact the "citizens' veto".

Ohio volunteers are helping to collect at least 231,000 signatures by the end of September—putting the rules up for a "citizens' veto" and making sure they don't affect voters in 2012. Our volunteers share President Obama's belief that when more people participate, our democracy is stronger and our government is more responsive. Over the next few weeks, we're signing our names and collecting signatures to stop this law.

Ohio House Bill 194 makes voting more difficult for a lot of Ohioans. Here are some of the affects:

-Force millions of people to wait in longer lines--and many may not be able to make it to the polls at all.

-In-person voting on Saturday afternoons and all day Sunday will be banned.

-The time allotted for in-person early voting and for absentee voting will be dramatically reduced.

-No one will be able to vote in person the weekend before the election.

The 49 dislikes for this video exposes the blind hate people have for the president.

The GOP is continuing to strip away and hinder early voting in key states such as Ohio and Florida. What should be happening is that ALL U.S. citizens should have the right to vote on a week-end (not a working day such as Tuesday) or make the first tuesday of November a legal holiday. The GOP has continued to make working Americans feel the pressure of voting on a work-day if early voting is greatly hindered.

All of the dislikes hate voting rights. What if these types of voters are on your side one day? Your own laws will limit your own cause.

Obama didn't win because we voted. He won because we got other people to vote. That's what the Republicans' voting restrictions are about. They fear they can't win straight up, so they want to take away the rights of people who tend not to vote Republican. I hope Republicans at least don't then wonder why those people don't vote Repuiblican.

@aWhiskeyTangoFoxtrot I'm voting for Obama because I want to vote and there are no other real good candidates. The republicans are now trying to rig the election by toying with electoral votes.

Funny how the Republican Party are tyring to not tax the wealthy yet they love taxing the middle class.... how they want to go around to manipulate the redistricting of Texas for their own advantage.

if you value real democracy you will get your but off the couch and get down to a polling station to cast a vote.

if you can't do that we don't want you. Elections are not about "convienence"....they are about the vote.
