The pro-labor coalition We Are Ohio delivered nearly 1.3 million signatures Wednesday to repeal SB 5, a new law restricting the collective-bargaining rights of public employees, placing it on the November 8 ballot. People's World reported that the 1,298,301 signatures were delivered to the Secretary of State's office by a semi-truck packed with 1502 boxes of petitions and accompanied by a large "People's Parade." We Are Ohio collected more signatures than any other petition drive in Ohio history thanks to the work of more than 10,000 volunteers. The signatures must now be validated by each county board of elections office. “Today we celebrate the unprecedented achievement of the more than one million Ohioans who want to repeal SB 5,” Melissa Fazekas, spokeswoman for We Are Ohio, said in a statement. “This historic number of signatures sends a strong, clear message to the extreme politicians who played political tricks to pass SB 5 and to the rest of the country." "More than 1 million voices from all 88 counties can’t be wrong," she continued. "The more than 6200 people who marched today and the more than one million who support the citizen’s veto, are proof that while our campaign may be out spent, we will never be out worked, or out volunteered or out supported by hard working Ohioans.” The filing of the petitions will keep SB 5 from taking effect until the results of the election are known in November.

Wha...huh? You're claiming that Ohio has more unemployed people than employed people?
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" I lurk to see if someone other than Myst or Pookie posts anything...
Duh...union membership everywhere has "imploded", Boofer. Ohio is actually 2%pts above the national average. 13.7 v. 11.9.
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" I lurk to see if someone other than Myst or Pookie posts anything...
And as usual, you are full of fucking shit...
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
Total membership maybe, actually working not near that amount..... Ohio has lost over 500,000 jobs in the last 10 years and quite a few of them were union jobs.... Most vehicle manufacturing union menbers around here are sitting at home because the plants are closed.... Most of the buildings have been demolished and the rest are in the process of being sold right now.... The rumour is the 1 GM plant left intact is being sold to a new investment company and they say the new owners will hire over 2,000 people... I just don't remember what they are going to offer/produce....
When asked by a Liberal what I bought my Granddaughter for her 1st birthday I replied, "MORE AMMUNITION"!!!!
FYI, Stone has banned war.
That might last a day or so. A K A Goldi keeps track of traffic on his site; and it's very slow right now.
That doesn't surprise me, and I'll bet a few others got it too...... There sure has been a lot of whining going on lately about the way he runs his website, and he finally got tired of it..... How he runs his website is his business, if people don't like it then they can just go someplace else.... If they have a beef with him then they need to be "ADULTS" about it and approach him thru a "NICELY" worded PM instead of calling him out on a thread made to piss him off....... that was dumb and got the expected response.... As I see it they got pissed off because he has a different viewpoint about some of the threads/post they made.... As I understand it there are some rules Stone should/has to follow as the owner of the site.... (whether he chooses to do so or not is his business).... And those rules should be posted clearly so everybody knows what can/can't be tolerated..... calling people names is a no no and probably one of the major reasons why all of this happened, along with re-wording of some threads titles...... Another thing I see is Stone has a busy personal life and doesn't have the time to police the site on a regular basis. And when he makes some edits/changes to their posts they come up with this shit of "You never said anything before about that" or "So and so said that in another thread" and just get plain obnoxious about it..... calm down children!!!! He's changed the titles to 1-2 of my threads, and edited some of the words I posted...... I don't have a problem with that, it happens.... sometimes the wrong words just come out of your keyboard!!!!!
When asked by a Liberal what I bought my Granddaughter for her 1st birthday I replied, "MORE AMMUNITION"!!!!
He was trying to mount an insurrection here. That is why he is gone. Woodchopper is now at full posting again.
This is the mass attitude of why America is so fucked upped. Take responsibility for your own actions, man!
Are you out of your friggin' mind?
Responsibility!!!! That word seems like it's become a 4 letter word the last 20- 30 years or so.... along with a few others.... Responsibility, integrity and honesty are out, Irresponsibility, dishonesty and rascism are in!!!!!

When someone posts an article telling everyone to bozo my new moderator. That is an insurrection. Any two year old would know that is a no no.
You post in broken English, similar to your Moderator X. Are you suggesting that the individual posters can not take advantage of BOZOing any poster they feel subject to their own dislikes? If so, why have a BOZO filter in the first place? If not, you have demonstrated contempt (once again) for your own subscribers. Are you suggesting that the forum is not capable of viewing a thread based on opinion and respond (based on individual contributions) accordingly? If so, why have a forum at all? There was no insurrection; that position infers spamming or joining another chit-chat forum. What you performed is just more "icing on the cake" of the reasons you need another moderator as opposed to more posters. You are simply attempting to alter the venue of LF from what you originally intended.
Then let the words posted by the person who's name it bears stand unless the poster asks his words be edited (that is holding the individual responsible). If the post exceeds the low standards of decency here, then delete it, and apply the same rules to all posts. Of course the site belongs to A K A Stone and he can run it as he sees fit, however how he runs it determines whether or not it is a place of debate or a pot where a limited group can comfortably stew in their own juice.
Von Mises associates any Government involvement in markets as "Socialism" , to mislead people into thinking Government is the enemy , when infact empire is the enemy and empire is Privatized.
Why?

Why? Two year olds know they should respect government authority? That's more of that Honda 'logic'. I doubt he has kids if he believes that's the case.
Odd, since you routinely post 'bookmarked' when you don't agree, bitch. And as usual, you are full of fucking shit... Ah, no, dumbass. The database here has at least TWO DOZEN examples of you doing this.
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
The dwarf does that on every site he has ever belonged to. This isn't 'news'. What will be news is if you keep the banning in place. How may times have you done this, then recinded? It gets old Stone. Make a decision. And then stick with it. That said, I can now clear my filter.

Since when does this site have any standards of decency?
You post in the same language too conservative, amongst others, use. You are a Commonwealth citizen or try to affect that perception through consistent Commonwealth spelling. Its got nothing to do with your spell check or other excuses. You never address the observations directly but flee the board until you think it is safe to return. I don't know why you do it, but I don't like being lied to and I cannot imagine why you would on something as harmless and meaningless as a message board unless you simply have a mendacious nature. That or a flaming paranoid.
war has to do something for entertainment. The voices in his head aren't speaking to him and his imaginary friends have found reasons not to come over anymore.
Heya Ruddy! Happy Day before the Fourth of July! You can remove your tagline now. War is all washed upped on LF.
WOW! That tagline is all gone! That's a nice lad, Ruddy! Keep up the good work!
DELETED BY A K A Stone ROTFL Here I shall put it back. When the LP Kloaughns post on LF. Ask A K A Stone about his own philosophy about that lot. They are given unbridled liberty to do anything they choose to include lying out their teeth for over a month while others were repeatedly banned, timed-out, censored, threads erased, altered and modified by A K A Stone. Of course all that "moderating" by A K A Stone NEVER once included the LP Kloaughns; it was ALL the rest of us. That is why Stone has his trusty "Moderator X" now. It is ALL too much work for Stone alone.
Yet you have posted many times your sex fantasies with horses but here you are still able to post. Go figure.
The big question is, why DO you have a need to stalk?
If it did, I wouldn't have to employ my own standards and use the bozo filter.

If I raised the standards any higher you wouldn't be here. You're already here based on a sliding scale.
Liar. Not even close and you can't back up your claim so piss off.
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
Just what does he post here that is so bad? And why don't you put the bestiality fantasizer here, badeye, on the same sliding scale, since you seem to think the standards here are so high. And while you are at it broadcast it so everyone else here knows.
He is an ill mannered liberal.
First of all, war is not ill-mannered unless someone [anyone] provides a condescending opinion about himself; you can see this same characteristic throughout ALL of his posts and your perspective is rare with the exception of badeye. Still, war has made more sound posts on LF than anyone and I don't necessarily agree with him; he makes a point and follows up with REAL data. So what if he leans towards the liberal side of politics? Isn't that the scope of perspective folks want to see beyond your Palin and Israel rant?
So that's why so called conservative perverts are tolerated. I see. And that's why your site is so full of them.
Including you?

Name the conservative perv-o's and how you know them to be perverted. Or are you just throwing the hyperbole around, hoping some will stick.

I deleted every article from that Las Vegas place that was suing people. They sent me an email. Besides they will never take me alive. ;)
Supposedly if the editing of titles and content occurs it doesn't matter what Stone thinks, the answer is yes (if anyone wants to pursue it). Which is probably why Stone does his best to keep traffic down on this site.
That slip and fall law firm was shot down in court recently. The judge ruled that posting the full article was fair use. YMMV.
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
Where do you get these wacky ideas?
