COLUMBUS, OH — Protect Women Ohio<\/a> (PWO), a pro-woman, pro-parent, pro-life coalition, is launching a multi-million-dollar ad buy this weekend in support of Issue 1. PWO is investing $2 million in a new 30-second television ad, entitled \u201cYour Promise,\u201d<\/a> which will run statewide on broadcast, cable and satellite. The buy comes on top of PWO\u2019s $1 million investment in radio<\/a> and digital ads<\/a> earlier this week, bringing PWO\u2019s initial ad spend to $3 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRight now, Ohio\u2019s constitution has a giant \u2018FOR SALE\u2019 sign on it,\u201d said Molly Smith, PWO board member. \u201cOut-of-state special interest groups, like the ACLU, think they can drop into Ohio with their fat pockets and buy their way into our founding document \u2013 it\u2019s outrageous, and it must be stopped. By voting \u2018yes\u2019 on Issue 1 in August, Ohioans will put much-needed, common-sense protections in place.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By increasing the threshold for passing constitutional amendments from a 50% simple majority to 60%, Issue 1 will protect Ohio\u2019s constitution from out-of-state special interest groups that too often circumvent the legislature and buy their way into the constitution \u2013 like the ACLU is doing with its dangerous anti-parent amendment. Such a change will put Ohio in line with most states. Currently, Ohio is one of only 18 states that allows constitutional amendments to be proposed by outside groups. Of those 18 states, half \u2013 including red and blue states \u2013 have some form of enhanced requirement for amendments to be adopted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
