Call to Action:
All Ohio readers must call,email and write their Ohio Senators and tell them to STOP with the new sex offender (SORN) legislation ! Even as the current Ohio SORN law is under review by the Ohio Supreme Court for multiple Constitutional violations, the Senate wants the make the registration laws even more burdensome.
