We must fight Ohio SB 250 together
|
SB 250 is in process to suppress protesting in Ohio. It will increase penalties for protests, including turning many misdemeanor offenses into felonies! It will increase penalties for organizations that support protests by ten times that of individuals.
This bill was created by State Senator Frank Hoagland, who holds a Top Secret security clearance, and owns two private security firms that provide specialized services to national security, law enforcement, and private entities. It has the boot prints of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) behind it.
You can read more on the Buckeye Environmental Network website here:
We should have another chance to fill our senators on the Judiciary Committee with our opposition to this suppression of our rights of assembly and free speech. Keep a lookout for when the hearing will be. It may be scheduled around November 27th or 28th.

Is ALEC a subversive organization?
|
The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) is one of the most comprehensive tools the moneyed influences (billionaire-boys'-club and corporate officials) use to run our government. By directly influencing our state elected officials very heavily, then sending them home with language for regulatory laws, the laws that we ALL live with are written and passed, usually verbatim, by corporations. Every one of the major oil & gas regulatory laws that have been adopted in the past decade in Ohio have been written through ALEC and brought home by members who are in our statehouse.

Poisoning the Well: How the Feds Let Industry Pollute the Nation's Underground Water Supply

[Excerpt:]
"What they don't often consider is whether that waste will flow outside that zone of influence over time, and there is no doubt that it will," said Mike Wireman, a senior hydrologist with the EPA who has worked with the World Bank on global water supply issues. "Over decades, that water could discharge into a stream. It could seep into a well. If you are a rancher out there and you want to put a well in, it's difficult to find out if there is an exempted aquifer underneath your property."
Aquifer exemptions are a little-known aspect of the government's Underground Injection Control program, which is designed to protect water supplies from underground disposal of waste.

[Excerpts:]
Environmental regulators suspected that the chemical had somehow drifted upward from the first two wells, travelling as much as 1,400 feet through the very rock expected to contain it.
If confirmed, their suspicions had broader implications: The type of disposal wells Aristech was using were among the most stringently regulated and monitored in the country.
