Dereliction of duty: Time is now for Ohio's Republican leadership to act

Under the control of Gov. Taft, Ohio continues to fall farther and farther behind the rational majority of states in our country.

In the past few weeks, three more governors (two Republicans, one Democrat) have signed shall-issue concealed carry reform bills into law - in Colorado, Minnesota and New Mexico. Kansas, Missouri & Nebraska legislatures are also promising passage of these reforms in 2003.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty explained his action with the simple fact that continues to elude Bob Taft: "Other states have not experienced more gunplay after making concealed weapons permits easier to get. "The 38 other states that have the (`concealed carry`) law, on a per capita or pro rata basis, are not experiencing any worse incidents of violent crime or gun violence than Minnesota."


A great new animation has been created which details the "Blue map" progression of our nation over the past 15 years, as more & more states passed concealed carry reform laws.

We've already shown that Ohio's House Representatives voted overwhelmingly in the "blue". What remains to be seen is whether your Senators will represent you equally as well, or whether they will again shirk their responsibility by surrendering to the political whims of the executive branch.
