SOS Frank LaRose discusses Issue 1 and the August 8th Special Election
On this program, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose discusses the August 8th Special Election on Issue 1
The Constitutional Amendment passage increase to 60% would require that any proposed amendment to the Constitution of the State of Ohio receive the approval of at least 60 percent of eligible voters voting on the proposed amendment.
The Founding Fathers understood the importance of the U.S. Constitution. It takes two-thirds of both chambers of the U.S. Congress and three-fourths of the states to amend the U.S. Constitution.
Ohio is one of only eight states that requires a simple majority to amend their constitution. Forty-two other states have higher standards for amending their constitutions than Ohio has. The Ohio Constitution has been amended 172 times, while the U.S. Constitution has only been amended 27 times.
Radical abortion interests are seeking to place on the November ballot in Ohio an amendment that would legalize abortion to the ninth month of pregnancy, taking Ohio back to the dark days of Roe v. Wade. If the November ballot measure is passed, it will wipe out all of Ohio’s pro-life laws that we have fought for over the past thirty years, including Ohio’s ban on partial-birth abortion, Ohio’s 20-week abortion ban, Ohio’s Heartbeat Law, and the parental notification law. All these pro-life laws will be gone if the radical abortion interests have their way on the November ballot. The Voter registration deadline for the August 8th election is July 10th and EARLY VOTING BEGINS JULY 11TH

Call to Action on HJR1 and Statehouse Update
The sixty percent constitutional amendment increase has reached a critical point.

Ohio SAFE Act H.B. 68 with Rep. Gary Click Protecting Ohio's Children from Transitioning Drugs and Surgery
State Rep. Gary Click of Ohio's 88th District has re-introduced Ohio's SAFE Act, H.B. 68. Last year, the legislation received hearings in committee from young people who had gone through the horrible experience of transitioning from their birth gender by hormonal treatment and in some cases irreversible surgeries. Their heart-wrenching stories stirred the committee members, and the evidence was undeniable of how harmful this indoctrination of gender dysphoria is to our young people. Ohio's SAFE Act, H.B. 68, is sponsored by State Rep. Gary Click and 40 other House members. Hearings should begin in the next few weeks. Call your representative and urge them to support Ohio's SAFE Act, H.B. 68. Click here to read the legislation

Discharge Petition on HJR 1 Constitutional Amendment with State Rep. Scott Wiggam
State Rep. Scott Wiggam joined his colleagues in signing on to a discharge petition on HJR 1, the constitutional amendment that will increase the requirement for constitutional amendments to pass by 60 percent. Rep. Wiggam was the chair of a special committee that Speaker Stevens concocted back on February 16th after he stalled the measure by not conducting hearings or calling for House sessions in which the measure may have passed before the February 1st deadline to get on the May ballot. Many believe that was the payback that Rep. Jason Stevens gave to the 32 Democrats in exchange for their votes for his speakership. Speaker Stevens won the speaker's vote with only 22 Republicans and all 32 Democrats. On March 30th he removed Rep. Wiggam from the chairmanship of the Constitutional Resolutions Committee in retaliation for Rep. Wiggam's signature on the discharge petition.
A call to action has gone out, urging legislators to sign on to the discharge petition which will bring the measure directly to the floor for an up or down vote. Call your representative today and urge them to sign the discharge petition on HJR 1, the constitutional amendment increase requirement of 60 percent. https://ohiohouse.gov/members/directory
