Vote No on Issue 2

 Our family urges everyone to vote no on issue 2, the constitutional admendment that will create a Livestock Care Standards Board on November 3rd.

 This constitutional admendment is for more control by Agribuisness and has nothing to do with safe, local, or affordable food as the misleading advertisements claim. This board will be made up of ten political appointees who will have control over how livestock is raised in this state. No public imput, no debate. If they feel free range chickens are not safe, for example, then free range chickens will not be raised in this state.

 We already have a Department of Agriculture that has rules, regulations, and enforcement. These regulations can be viewed on their web site www.agri.ohio.gov . Why do we need another board that has no oversight or public imput. It will only put more control over consumer and sustainable farmers options.

 Please see www.ohioact.org for more information, and please tell your friends and families.
