I’m a libertarian and I could not disagree more with your stance on Issue 6. We currently have ZREO casinos in Ohio becaused they are banned by the state. While a one-casino monopoly is certainly not ideal, it’s better than a complete prohibition. You have to chip away at state power any way you can.

While I greatly agree that we need to protect our freedoms, I along with everyone out there just witnessed the socialist response our government had to predatory lending in the mortgage industry. We are now going to have to pay back that atrocious bailout package. The last thing I want to see is a situation where we end up having to support the individuals who’s lack of financial knowledge lead them to use this financial option in a similar manner. Until we return to a society where there are real consequences to our financial choices, I encourage everyone to vote against risky lending practices.

Please vote Yes on Issue 5! The pay day loan sharks say they want to offer choices, but all they’re interested in is their own profits. It was bad lending that got us into this economic mess, and the pay day industry needs to be regulated. No one would choose to pay their excessive interest rates.
