What are your state issues for Tuesday's ballot? There is a massive issue here in Ohio, to "Reform Ohio" which will definitely do that if passed, but in a negative way. I guess there are some who are sick of this being a conservative state and wish to take that away from us. There are 5 issues (numbered 1 thru 5 on the ballot) which may pass. These will almost ensure that there is more of a democrat, anti-Christian, pro-death, pro-homo marriage presence in our state government positions. I don't know how much of a chance these issues have of passing but I am slightly worried after hearing the ads. One of the ads makes it a race issue by mentioning that there is only one black state congressman in Ohio and says "you and I (who is the you this senator is referring to, I have no idea) may not be able to afford $10,000 to give to a political organization or candidate, but many replublicans do." They are specifically saying they want to take state control away from republicans because we have money? what??? Also:
