NO on Issue 1 with State Auditor Keith Faber

VOTE NO ON ISSUE 1

The political left is pushing a radical redistricting plan for the November ballot. This convoluted, complicated redistricting plan, if passed by Ohio voters in November, will take the redraw of the district lines away from the people and their representatives and put it in the hands of the political left with retired judges and academic elites. They claim this will stop gerrymandering, but in reality, Issue One will be gerrymandering on steroids, and not representative of the people of the state of Ohio 

State School Report  Card with Ed Committee Chair Andy Brenner- How are Ohio students doing? 

The Ohio Department of Education released its State Report Card for 2023-2024.

In his 2023 State of the State Address, Governor DeWine highlighted the need to focus on Ohio schoolchildren’s reading proficiency. Due to the COVID shutdown, Ohio students were at least one grade level behind in their reading proficiency. He stated that 40% of Ohio third grade students were not proficient in reading. He said, “Reading unlocks the door for all future learning and truly provides a lifetime of opportunity.” 

Ohio’s 2023 assessments indicated 38% of students were not proficient in reading. Among economically disadvantaged students, 55% were not proficient in English language arts. The 2024 Ohio school report card for third grade reading proficiency has improved slightly. In the words of the State Superintendent, "The situation remains urgent." Here to discuss the details is State Senator Andy Brenner, who serves as the Chairman of the State Education Committee.

Faith in America on the decline – But there is a spark of revival in a younger generation.

A 2022 Gallup Poll of faith in America found that for the first time since 1928, under 50% of Americans hold any faith tradition or association whatsoever. Many church denominations report drastic decreasing numbers of general church attendance. Generation Z is the most unchurched generation in American history, according to the Gallup poll.

Among young people in their 30’s and 40’s is a movement of deconstructing their faith.  In Ohio, leading up to the 2020 pandemic, church attendance was on the decline and church closures were steadily increasing.

Post-pandemic, it has accelerated to where thousands of churches in Ohio have closed, and some have merged to stay viable and to survive, including Protestant, Catholic and Orthodox churches.

Christian Universities and Seminaries are also on the decline.  Many have closed. Others are reporting lower enrollments.

Atheism, the occult, and satanism, are on the rise.

We are living in unprecedented times when Christian leaders are renouncing their faith and large numbers of believers are falling away. Is this the final apostasy prophesied by Jesus and Paul? Is there hope for the younger generation to experience a move of God in their time?

Election Integrity Ohio SOS moves to purge inactive voters and finds illegals registering and voting

Ohio SOS Frank LaRose has turned over to the Ohio Attorney General for prosecution 666 files of non-U.S. citizens registering and some voting in Ohio's election. Secretary LaRose also purged 156,000 inactive voters from the voting rolls in the last month, heading into the November election. The Secretary's office also issued a statement that they have received information from the Boards of Election of false voter registrations and falsification of petitions, and will be sending the findings over to Attorney General Dave Yost to pursue for prosecution. The Secretary of State has been busy cleaning up Ohio's voter rolls in advance of the November 5th election. Tune in and hear the details. 

Ohio's Disastrous Redistricting Ballot Issue- A  conversation with Jonathan Broadbent of UnWoke Academy

The political left, with help from big donors, has secured enough signatures to place their convoluted redistricting plan on the November ballot as a constitutional amendment.  Because we were unsuccessful in raising the threshold last year in the August special election, a simple majority vote is all that is needed to radically change the way Ohio's representative districts are drawn - not by the people's elected representatives, but rather by appointed judges and academics. That alone should cause you to have a cold chill run down your spine. They're out to draw Ohio blue with the backing of Barack Obama and Eric Holder who have been doing this in other states, making sure there are less Republican Congressional districts. Here to discuss the details is Jonathan Broadbent. He emphasizes that it is going to take the conservative grassroots to rally themselves and defeat Issue 1 on the November 5th ballot.
