On August 8th, sanity prevailed as Ohio voters soundly defeated a reactionary attempt to end majority rule in Ohio, specifically targeting an amendment to the State Constitution on the November ballot that would guarantee a woman's right to make her own health care decisions, including abortion. We are proud that ADA’s organizing efforts played a small role in that victory. We rejoice and hope Ohio continues the trend in future elections but we know we can’t afford to relax. That is why, today, we are shining our Spotlight on Senator Sherrod Brown’s bid for re-election.Click here to make a donation to ADA's 2024 electoral program today! adaction.org/donate/one-time-contribution-to-ada/We have ample evidence that elections have consequences. We know that it is absolutely essential that we not only maintain but also expand a liberal majority in the Senate. And, that is why re-electing incumbent Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown (D) is critical to that effort. Not only is Brown a trusted, proven progressive, his years of experience in Congress make him a powerful member, now serving as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs. With recent polling showing him marginally ahead, we know we must do everything in our power to ensure that he is successful.Click here to read more about the race for Ohio's U.S. Senate seat! act.myngp.com/Forms/-8955688234491314176 ...

The Inflation Reduction Act represents a deliberate departure from trickle-down economics.President Biden and Democrats have chosen to grow the economy by growing the middle class, from the bottom up and middle out.This means investing in working people by creating jobs, lowering costs, and fighting the climate crisis—and asking the wealthy and corporations to pay more of their fair share in taxes to fund these investments. ...

Tomorrow voters in Ohio will go to the polls to vote on an important constitutional amendment.ADA says Vote NO to defeat Issue 1! The far-right legislature has submitted this amendment in an effort to stifle citizen-led democracy and to thwart efforts to protect women’s rights in November.If adopted, the measure would require ballot initiatives gain 60% approval (tied for the highest threshold with Florida!) and would make getting initiatives on the ballot much harder.This is just part of a nationwide effort to silence the your voice.ADA has been working to Get-Out-The-Vote to defeat Issue 1 and TOMORROW is Election Day! If you live in Ohio, VOTE NO ON ISSUE! If you live outside of Ohio, you can support this effort with $5, $15, $25, $50 or more now. adaction.org/donate/one-time-contribution-to-ada/ ...

Today’s Spotlight focusses on the Senator from Arizona with an identity crisis. Kyrsten Sinema (I) has been a member of the Green Party, was elected as a Democrat and now is an Independent. She even worked on Ralph Nader’s Presidential campaign! Whatever she is, she, along with West Virginia’s Joe Manchin (D), who she calls her role model, is a major roadblock to almost everything we liberals want to achieve. According to GovTrak, she is to the right of Susan Collins (R-ME) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK). Click here to make a donation to ADA's 2024 electoral program today! adaction.org/donate/one-time-contribution-to-ada/Sinema, whose lifetime ADA voting record is 57%, is a prime example of why we need to expand the liberal majority in the Senate. FiveThirtyEight reports that she voted in line with the former President 50 percent of the time and with Biden 94 percent. But, when she is wrong, she is really wrong. She voted against changing the filibuster to allow passage of the Freedom to Vote and John R. Lewis Voting Rights Acts. She opposed including a $15/hour minimum wage provision as part of the COVID relief package. She voted against the Green New Deal and to confirm Daniel Bernhardt, a former oil executive, as Interior Secretary.
