Democracy for America on the Ground for 'No on 2' Campaign in Ohio
With ‘No On 2’ 25 points up in the Polls, DFA Gets Tens of Thousands Out to Vote for Nov. 8
Burlington, VT – So far in Ohio, DFA staff talked to voters at
44,864 homes to make sure that Ohioans can vote down Issue 2 on Nov.
8th. The door-to-door canvass Get-Out-The-Vote effort will continue
until Election Day.
“Momentum is on our side in Ohio,” said Jim Dean, Chair of DFA. “Gov.
Kasich started a war on working families and Ohio voters will reject him
and his right-wing Republican agenda at the polls on November 8.”
Recent polls show a 25 point lead for ‘No on 2’ (Ohio Votes 2011):
“Quinnipiac pollster Peter Brown said the poll results show the
opposition to Issue 2 crosses almost all demographics. The poll showed a
majority of men and women, blacks and whites, union and non-union
households all opposed to Issue 2.”
More than one million Ohio voters signed a petition to bring Issue 2 to
the ballot because the bill passed by the state legislature, SB 5,
unfairly limits the bargaining rights of public workers in the state.
Democracy for America is not taking this lead in the polls for granted
and will continue to knock on doors in Ohio until the polls close on
Nov. 8th.
Jim Dean will be in Ohio on Nov. 7 and Nov. 8 on the ground with DFA
members working to get out the vote. For press availability for Jim
Dean, please contact Levana Layendecker at
