Governor-elect Kasich has promised cuts throughout the State of Ohio, the same type of austerity agenda that has deepened the economic crises throughout Europe. He wants to force the working class to pay for the financial catastrophe caused by rich bankers and speculators. Politicians like Kasich are using the national recession as a pretext for gutting social services like education and Medicaid and driving down public employee wages. Working people already are having a more difficult time than usual making ends meet, with the official unemployment rate around 10%.
We're going to have to fight Kasich every step of the way on this, and we're starting January 8th to send him a message right before he takes office. There will be a rally in Columbus followed by a march to the Statehouse. Go check out http://defendohiocampaign.com/ for the latest information. There's also a link to join the Defend Ohio Campaign. Please forward the call throughout the State and contact your local ISO branch to see about carpooling.
