A dangerous bill has been introduced into the Ohio House and Senate. The bill, under the guise of discrimination, will eliminate some Religious freedoms. The proposed law is titled the Equal Housing and Employment Act. If passed, the bill seeks to add “sexual orientation and “gender identity” to the protected list of gender, race, age, religion, that are punishable on the basis of discrimination. It is estimated that seventeen Ohio cities have passed these so-called anti-discrimination ordinances.

Our friends at Parents Television Council (PTC) keep us updated on indecent television broadcasting, regulations and enforcement. PTC’s President, Tim Winter, and their Washington D.C. contact, Dan Isetts, who is a regular attendee of CCV’s quarterly meetings in Washington, issued this PRESS RELEASE.

The propaganda coming from the press and homosexual activists are comparable only to Russia’s Cold War propaganda machine. Remember, in 2004, every major newspaper and news source was opposed to Ohio’s marriage amendment that defined marriage as an institution between one man and one woman. However, that did not stop the 2004 amendment from being passed by a 62%-38% majority.

Federal Monies Attached to Anti-Life Policies

CCV Action is joining forces with Ohio Pro-Life Action in asking you to contact Republicans in the House because the Medicaid expansion has been repackaged as a “pilot program”.  This is called the House Modified Program but it is still a social welfare expansion.  Ohio Pro-Life Action lists their concerns with this extension below and we ask you to contact the House Representatives at the phone numbers listed and ask them to vote against this Medicaid expansion!

Citizens for Community Values Action is asking that you contact the Ohio Representatives listed below and ask them to support the passage of House Bill 7 (HB 7). HB 7 aims to stop the proliferation of illegal gambling establishments – more commonly referred to as internet cafes – that are popping up around the state. These internet cafes are not reputable establishments and are allegedly tied to money laundering, drug dealing and human trafficking.

Attorney General Mike DeWine has called them a “ticking time bomb waiting to go off.” They are bad news for our families, our communities, and our state. The passage of HB 7 would take steps to remove the destructive effects of gambling.

Please contact and urge the following state representatives to vote to pass House Bill 7 and stop illegal gambling!

• State Representative John Becker (614) 466-8134
• State Representative Ross McGregor (614) 466-2038
• State Representative Wes Retherford (614) 644-6721
• State Representative Cliff Rosenberger (614) 466-3506

Conservative groups reaching new levels of sophistication in mobilizing voters

…Activists report similarly honed skills in Ohio. Phil Burress, chairman of the group Citizens for Community Values Action and the leader of the marriage campaign in 2004, said he has been operating half a dozen phone-bank centers since May. He said he has a database of 8.4 million Ohioans and plans to distribute 2 million voter guides to 10,000 churches, with a focus on rural parts of the state that he said posted low turnout in 2008.

Burress said many of his activists are motivated by Obama’s recent announcement supporting same-sex marriage. “It’s like 2004 all over again,” he said.

In Ohio and other states, an emerging force in conservative voter outreach is the College Republican National Committee, which has expanded this year to 63 paid, full-time field staff members and has formed a joint super PAC with American Crossroads, the group founded in part by Karl Rove, who was an adviser to President George W. Bush, to target young voters. …
