Dear Supporter,
Please join us this Thursday, May 8th to take back the Ohio Healthy Families Act from the legislature. For 4 months the Ohio General Assembly has silenced millions of Ohioans and their families by failing to address this important proposed law.
On Thursday, May 8th the legislature's time will run out and the Ohioans for Healthy Families coalition will kick-off our drive to the ballot with a press conference and rally hosted by coalition partner, Progress Ohio.
Click here to RSVP for Thursday or to let us know you stand with the campaign!
Thursday's event will be the first step towards taking the Ohio Healthy Families Act back into the hands of the people and passing paid sick days on the November 4, 2008 General Election ballot.
With your continued help Ohioans will not be denied the basic right to care for their families!
What: The Ohioans for Healthy Families Drive to November Press Conference and Rally
Where: Progress Ohio, 251 S. 3rd Street, Columbus, Ohio 43215
When: Thursday, May 8th 2:00 pm

Despite over a quarter-million signatures of Ohio voters already collected, the Ohio General Assembly refuses to act on Paid Sick Days.
At the end of this week thousands across Ohio will begin signing petitions to place Paid Sick Days on the November ballot. Legislators continue to take paid sick days themselves, and they continue to block our efforts on behalf of millions of hard working friends, family and neighbors who simply need the ability to EARN paid sick days to care for themselves and their families.
Go to http://www.sickdaysohio.org to download petitions now, email people in your circle, talk up our campaign and join us over the next 90 days as we succeed in giving Ohio voters an opportunity which the politicians want to deny. Signature gathering begins at 12:00 am May 9th!

Thank you for you continued support!
