There are thousands of people downtown Columbus rallying against SB 5, but there is just one problem.
ProgressOhio:
Thousands of Ohio citizens were locked out of the Statehouse today when they arrived to protest SB 5.
Chanting, "This is Our House/ Let Us In" and "Kill the Bill", they were left out in the cold apparently by Republican lawmakers....
....Senate Minority Leader Capri Cafaro and Senate Democrats annouced a little after 3pm that they were going to Court to file an injunction to open the doors.
ProgressOhio video on YouTube:
Joseph at Plunderbund has this information about the rally at the Statehouse:
...Update: A Capital Square Review and Advisory Board spokesperson is telling reporters that the decision to keep people out of the Statehouse came from the Department of Public Safety. In other words, the Kasich administration. If you’d like to reach out to the Governor, call his office at (614) 466-3555 and if they don’t answer, try the constituent hotline and make sure they record your complaint (614) 644-4357. And if you feel like it, touch base with Director Charles at the Department of Public Safety (614) 466-3383....
Incredible.
There is one more piece of news about John Kasich and SB 5: According to Plunderbund, John Kasich is sending out emails to fundraise on SB5. Kasich's actions are positively disgusting.
