Marlene Quinn: "When the fire broke out, there wasn't a moment to spare. If not for the firefighters...we wouldn't have our Zoey today.

That's why it is so important to vote no on Issue 2. Issue 2 makes it illegal to negotiate for enough firefighters to do their job, and these firefighters, they know what they need as far as equipment and manpower.

How many of those politicians at Columbus have fought a fire? Have been short manpower? The politicians don't care about the middle class -- they've turned their backs on all of us. I don't want the politicians in Columbus making decisions for the firefighters, the police, teachers, nurses or any organization that's helping people.

Fewer firefighters can mean the difference between life or death. And that's why I'm voting no on Issue 2."

  • Dissing a great-grandmother? Way to stay classy, folks. Apparently y'all don't care how the GOP is taking advantage of everyone but their corporate cronies. NO on 2!

  • I have yet to hear a valid argument for a "yes" vote. It's all rhetoric.

  • To all those who voted yes -- HA HA!

  • @IllicitTU Well you lost! My mother is a public school teacher and we were both more than happy to defy Gov. Kasich and the tea party tonight 8) See you teabaggers in 2012! Liberals and unions are organized and ready to wear you down.

  • What a load of BullShit.

    The number of firefighters is not the sole issue, it's their ability to collectively negotiate. Even with fewer firefighters, the remaining firefighters can voluntarily go above and beyond the other firefighters that will give each of them the opportunity for larger raises.

  • Vote yes for a better Ohio. Vote yes to getting our responsibilities as citizens back. Vote yes to protect good teachers and get rid of the bad ones! Vote yes because seniority is unfair! Vote yes because as tax payers we need the right to choose what our taxes go towards! Vote yes because Unions are evil! Unions force employers to pay a fee to work for them and they are passing a law where they can FORCE businesses into a union.

  • Explain to me how denying collective bargaining priveledge effects the number of firefighters?

    

  • fuck u all u guys fucken suck u need to vote yes...even the goverment of ohio is voting yes if u vote no then u are a fucken ass hole noob

  • Issue 2 is primarily about a reduction in the take-home pay for public employees - Civil Servants. These ads about response times, worker safety, etc. are conjectural smoke in mirrors. If you think the state unions have gone too far, vote yes on 2. If you think the strength of the unions should be ratified, vote no.

  • something the supporters of this "vote no on issue 2" campaign don't want you to know: the number one thing this bill does is stop the direct withdraw of union dues from paychecks of union members. it forces unions to bill their members. when members see what they pay per year in dues for the unions they might not be so willing to contribute. this is why millions of dollars have been spent by the unions to stop issue 2. don't fall for tricks from thugs. vote yes on 2. enough is enough.

  • Amazing that a YouTube search on "Yes on 2 Ohio" leads to this video

    YouTube is definitely in bed with the Unions

  • Where I live, the value provided by fire protection is that when your house burns, it doesn't burn adjacent homes. 100% of home fires here result in 100% property loss. Loss of life is due to no smoke detectors which is a personal choice that government cannot protect us from.

    My defined pension plan was eliminated after 29 years of service. I have NO sympathy We're talking about reality. Join the rest of us..those of you in the political class.

    Sorry...you're screwed like us.
