Dear [[First_Name]],

Breaking news: this weekend, a group of Ohio politicians got scared that we might actually win - and hold them accountable to Ohio voters. So they concocted a last-minute plan to save their political hides: a counter-amendment to stall RON's redistricting plan until 2011.

We will not stand for this desperate back-room scheme.

Hundreds of thousands of Ohioans have spoken loud and clear. They want reform, and they don't want to wait more than 6 years to see it happen.

That's why we've extended the deadline for accepting petitions until this Wednesday, August 3rd. Please print out a petition and collect as many signatures as you can in the next two days! Help us send a message to those leading this charge: we have the numbers, and we won't wait for change.

Then mail your petitions, no later than Wednesday August 3rd, to:

REFORM OHIO NOW
P.O. Box 20330
Columbus, OH 43220

Thank you for your dedication. Let's show our politicians that they can't hide from their constituents.

Sincerely,
Everyone at Reform Ohio?Now
