RPAC is in JEOPARDY!
Don't let outsiders decide
Ohio politics...

Ohio's REALTOR community strongly opposes passage of State Issue 3 because it will alter the state's campaign finance system by benefiting labor unions and restricting the ability of like-minded organizations such as REALTORS from making their voices heard.

The National Association of REALTORS' Issues Mobilization Committee has already contributed $100K to OAR to assist in the effort to defeat the passage of ballot Issue 3 that, if passed, would virtually destroy RPAC.

These issues were placed on the ballot by a coalition of organizations which includes moveon.org, the AFL/CIO, the Ohio Federation of Teachers and Common Cause. Their intent is to change the Ohio Constitution in a way that disrupts the election and reapportionment processes and alters our campaign finance laws so they work to the advantage of Unions and to the detriment of businesses. If Ohioans are allowed to believe that these ballot issues are the correct solution to our current problem of distrust of government and politics, we will all lose in the long run.

Issue 3 represents the greatest threat that the REALTORS Political Action Committee has ever faced...A threat brought on by outsiders, not Ohioans...So on Nov. 8...VOTE NO ON ISSUE 3.
