Congratulations from NC. We donated and phonebanked with Ohio Dems in the last month and every live I watched on pro democracy YT channels I posted ‘ Ohio Vote No Issue 1’ repeatedly in the chats. Thanks to David talking to Simon Rosenberg’s Hopium Substack community! I was on that call last night, what a BEAUTIFUL FEELING in Ohio shared by so many outside your state. Let’s ride this wave of pro democracy across the country with Blue grassroots organizing!

TY Ohio! Abundant thanks to Mr. Pepper for all his information & encouragement to the grassroots. As a postcard-writer, one wonders at times if the cards even are delivered. Please see "American Midnight" about past "failures to deliver", i.e. outright censorship. As a former Cuyahoga Co. resident, I was uplifted to hear a D say that "the old coalition is working". TY also for the Zoom--that reinforced emphatically a sense of community. Invaluable.

A powerful win and a great example of what can be accomplished when those of us who care about democracy organize effectively.

And many thanks to David Pepper for his outstanding, inspirational leadership.

A great win instead. I take particular pride in Greene County defeating the measure by over 500 votes since Gov DeWine is from here. I also learned a handy dandy tip on Twitter last night - LaRose rearranged = A loser. Perfection!

But I can't help but wait for the other shoe to drop - you know they've got a back up plan ready to launch.

Thank you for inviting me to the "live" Zoom event Tuesday evening. So awesome!!! Inspired by Simon R. @ Hopium, I donated $$ and made a few calls (which was really inspiring).

Ready for offense! Looking forward to the playbook.
