A timely address by Constitutional expert and historian John Eidsmoe hosted by The Central Ohio Chapters of The John Birch Society and Logos Bible Church, Pickerington, OH. The title of the address was "The Battle that Saved the West" and details the events leading up to and including that battle which in the providence of GOD, paved the way for America's Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Republic protecting our GOD-given rights and limiting the power of Government. The doctrine of the lesser magistrate is also touched up.

#Issue1 #Prolife #SaveTheRepublic #SaveOhiosConstitution #TeamWarner Have questions about, confused or did not know there is an upcoming special election? This gives a great explanation of Issue 1 (aka Senate Joint Resolution 2 - SJR2). Key Points: 1. Protects Ohio's Constitution from frivolous amendments; like the "right" to casino gambling, by raising the threshold to 60% in order for amendments to pass. (note: the U.S. Constitution requires two-thirds) 2. Protects Life. The pro-abortion lobby is seeking to place on the ballot in November an amendment to make abortion a constitutional right in Ohio. In addition, it interferes with parental rights for abortion and transgender related procedures and notifications. In other words, minors could get these procedures without letting their parents know. But, by voting YES for Issue 1, even if they get the pro-abortion amendment on the ballot; they would need to get 60% of the vote to win. This would be a substantial hurdle as others states that have recently passed pro-abortion amendments have won by a margin of 51%-53%.
