So, Why Ohioans for Educational Freedom?
Too many times we’ve heard our fellow Ohioans come out of the voting booth only to hear them say, “I had to vote for the lesser of two evils”, or “There is no one to vote for.” The reason for this is simple: Good candidates cannot be found on the ballot.
Ohioans for Educational Freedom will show you how to employ methods of verification to get the best candidates selected and elected. This task is every bit as important as voting. Casting a vote is vital, but only if there is a candidate who shares your values.
Freedom threatenEd
For years undesirable candidates have been elected. This has contributed to the deplorable state of our current culture. The bottom line is that candidates without Biblical values produce harmful and immoral written legislation. In many cases, the freedom that we have long enjoyed as a nation are being eroded and jeopardized. Will the next generation do better or worse? Is there hope?
issues by the dozens
The depreciation of desirable candidates is evidenced by the escalation of state issues and referenda appearing on ballots. Values Voters have been required to go on the defense on state issues; therefore, we have not invested enough effort recruiting worthy candidates, hence eroding the quality of candidates running in state and local elections. Referenda are a dangerous way of legislating, which is why our Founding Fathers gave us a constitutional republic rather than a democracy. Values Voters must continue to win the culture war at the ballot box on state issues, but we must also offer godly candidates to counteract objectionable candidates. One of the major goals of OEF is to locate and support strong godly candidates.
Start building, now!
Even though the present situation looks bleak, there is hope. God is sovereign and much can be redeemed. The place to start is to raise up, train, and stand behind good, qualified people to run for office. Ohioans for Educational Freedom has begun to build an infrastructure by providing appropriate training and by leading the way in identifying solid candidates for office, whether for the State Board of Education, local boards of education, or the Ohio General Assembly. Building the infrastructure will lead to our collective votes counting for sound leadership. When we start to see the turnaround, it will be refreshing to have elected officials stand unwaveringly for standards of Christian faith, family, and God-given freedoms. Once again, God’s blessing will fall upon our great state and communities. But we must build now. With the state of our government, more than likely there will be more attacks on educational options, including home education in Ohio.
