'As Ohio Goes, So Goes the Nation'

If you've been paying attention lately, you've heard a lot about Issue 1 from us. That's because we think it's fantastic, as do the people you have elected as your Ohio House and Senate Representatives, among others. But, how often do you hear about an Ohio issue from someone in California? If you do, it must be good. Well, guess what - that's what's happening here. Third Frontier (the program that will be renewed if Issue 1 passes on May 4th) is getting attention across the nation, including The Huffington Post in California. Don Reed says "Between now and May 4th, Ohioans will vote on Issue 1: a spectacular jobs program. It is an urgent reason to go to the polls: in person, or by absentee ballot...If I lived in Ohio, I would run, not walk, to the nearest computer - investigate the issue, maybe even get an absentee ballot, so I could vote early - and vote yes...Let us hope, that like another old saying, ‘As Ohio goes, so goes the nation.'" Read the rest of his thoughts on the topic, including all the reasons he would vote yes. I couldn't agree more! Cathy Belk is the Chief Marketing Officer of JumpStart.
