The Yes on Issue 2 people took my words and picture from the TV message I did for We Are Ohio – the one where I praise the quick response time of the firefighters who saved my great-granddaughter Zoey’s life -- and ran their own ad making it appear that I support Issue 2.
I’ve lived a long time and seen a lot of things, but I’ve never seen a group of people sink so low. I think it's dishonest and downright deceitful that they would use footage of me to try to play tricks and fool voters.
I’ve asked nicely, but they won’t stop running these ads. Please take a moment to sign this petition to get these ads pulled off the air.
It's insulting to the brave firefighters who saved the life of my great-granddaughter. I'm outraged they are using my face and my words to push their harmful agenda. They certainly did not ask my permission. I feel violated.
These dishonest people support Senate Bill 5 and Issue 2. They want to take away collective bargaining rights from firefighters, police officers, teachers, nurses and other public employees. And they know that Issue 2 will make it illegal for firefighters to collectively bargain for safe staffing levels and harder for them to negotiate for safety equipment—which will lead to slower response times for the very crews that came out to save my Zoey.
Please sign this petition and make these people stop their lies about me and about Issue 2. Make them stop running this deceptive ad.
