Constance For Ohio (Governor's Race)

Constance Gadell-Newton's plan for employment... Let's get to work on it ! After over a year of campaigning, Constance and Brett, are in the home stretch of the campaign for Ohio Governor and Lieutenant Governor. They need your help to spread the word to as many people as possible, encouraging them to vote, by writing letters to your local newspaper, and being part of the rising Green wave ! The best way to do that is to be able to tell people how their lives will benefit directly from the Constance for Ohio platform. It's a holistic plan that responds to the needs and desires of Ohioans all over the state. Have you looked at the website recently ? On the "On the issues" page, take a look at the platform as it relates to labor and employment : "We will: Create a policy climate favorable to the success of small businesses, cooperatives, community investment funds, and other socially beneficial business enterprises. Phase in a Universal Basic Income (UBI) paid for in part with a value-added tax on corporate profits, including profits from labor-displacing automation, while overhauling Ohio’s social programs to remove barriers to social mobility and to promote sustainable livelihoods instead of perpetual poverty. Increase our Minimum Wage to a Living Wage ($15 per hr.) and tie it directly to current cost of living, including inflation. Empower community land trusts to stop the “firesale” of our public lands. Create new pathways to employment and home ownership using surplus housing stock. Incentivize employers to hire local and to discontinue outsourcing of locally available services and materials used in the production process. Enact mandatory paid maternity and paternity leave. Promote wage equality in the work place, while prohibiting restrictions on an employee's ability to discuss wages with employers and co-workers. Strengthen legal remedies for contracted, part-time and temporary workers who suffer from exploitive employment practices.  Promote entrepreneurism and self-determination for individuals and communities. Attract employers and promote small businesses and self-employment by providing basic benefits such as universal health care and free public pre-school.  Thank you so much for your help!  Let's win in 2018! Paid for by the committee to Elect Constance Gadell-Newton, 1021 East Broad Street, Columbus OH 43205.    Please visit our website to see our platform or make a donation:  www.ConstanceforOhio.com  ` Phone:  614-307-9783   email:   Elect.ConnieGadell@gmail.com Voting for our Green Party candidates is all about « giving » the people of Ohio a choice and a voice. I bet you’ve heard it before... « Vote Green and you are taking away a vote from the Republican/Democrat». That’s just not true. No matter how much they may be disgruntled or in disagreement with their party platform, most people remain faithful to the party they voted for as a first-time voter. They will even vote against their own best interests.   Rather than voting for the opposition, when they get disguntled enough, people just stop voting.   So today, in Ohio, that leaves us with about 30 percent of eligible voters who vote, and 70 percent who have just given up! Constance Gadell-Newton for Ohio Governor and Dr. Brett Joseph for Lieutenant Governor, need you to help spread the word, and encourage those people who have become so discouraged that they don't even vote any more to rise up and vote FOR their own best interests. * Universal health care, for everyone, no matter what your income level * A tax system where everyone pays their fair share * Cleaning up, protecting and preserving Ohio’s air, water and soil * A transition to a Green energy and economy, that provides specialized education and supports unions and workers as they transition from dirty industries to clean ones * Quality, free public education from elementary school through college ... and the active and rapid implementation of our 10 key values for social and environmental justice for everyone The Democrat and Republican parties have been fighting it out for 164 years. Politics has become so polarized, so artificial, saying whatever it takes just to get elected, and then forgetting those promised the day after the election. For a lot of people it probably seems like the politicians are more interested in the fight, than actually serving the people who will elect them. As they travel around the state, meeting and talking with Ohioans from all walks of life, Constance and Brett are listening to what people have to say and getting ready to build an Ohio that responds to what people say they need in order to live happy, healthy, fulfilled lives. Constance Gadell-Newton will win the election with just 34 % of the vote in a three-way race. If only half of all unaffiliated voters in Ohio vote for her, she’ll win ! The Green Party of Ohio needs 3 % of the vote to maintain party status, offering a choice, and a voice for all Ohioans So yes ! Let’s take the votes away from those parties and candidates that are in the race just to conserve an idea of political power, or as a career job. Let’s give the vote to the party that exists to bring positive change to the lives of all Ohioans. Vote Constance Gadell-Newton for Ohio Governor and Brett Joseph for Lieutenant Governor. Constance Gadell-Newton, and all of the local candidates running as the Green Party of Ohio need your vote. We are counting on you to come out and vote on November 6th. If you have family or friends, neighbors or co-workers, who will also benefit from our plan for Ohio, feel free to pass on this message, post it on the social networks, spread the word! Thank you so much for your help! Let's win in 2018!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsH6X9JfgEo In her October 17th Fireside chat, Jill Stein discusses the disappearance of Jamal Khashoggi and US support for the brutal Saudi Arabian regime, and talks with Ohio Green Party candidate Constance Gadell-Newton about how she's getting her message out despite being excluded from media, polls and debates. Their conversation goes into a discussion of how our tax dollars are used against us, how the growth of militarism around the world hurts us locally, and how the support of the Green Party can help promote social justice. 100 % Green Energy by 2030 is an Ohio Green party goal which includes the creation of a green economy, creation of jobs in the energy transition, protecting water, a moratorium on fracking and injection wells, shutting down the pipelines that cross Ohio. In less that eleven years, we have the power to completely change the face of Ohio and become a state that leads in the production of clean Energy. Jill reminds us that we are not powerless. Now is the time to stand up for the courage of our convictions. We have to vote for what we want and need, and not concede to what we think is the worst of two evils. To help spread the word, Jill Stein asks us to like and share this video, and to spread the word every way we can. Constance Gadell-Newton will win the election with just 34 % of the vote in a three-way race. If only half of all unaffiliated voters in Ohio vote for her, she’ll win !

Thank you for your support for my campaign to be The First Green Party Governor of Ohio 2018

Constance Gadell-Newton Candidate for Governor of Ohio 2018 While serving my clients as a defense attorney in Columbus Ohio, my daily focus is on defending the Bill of Rights of the U.S. Constitution. I work daily with the victims of abuse of power, and institutional bias or economic inequality. I have a real-life understanding of the principle of policy over people and it's impact on our state. I have been an activist in Columbus since the early 2000's when I was a college student at OSU.   I was President of the Philosophy Club and helped organize the Anti-violence march Take Back the Night.  I stood with workers against SB5 and support farm workers in the struggle for a fair wage and better living conditions. As a law student at Penn State Dickinson School of Law, I was active in student government, studied International Criminal Law, recieved a fellowship to serve low-income clients at Philadelphia Legal Assistance, and started a book drive for law books for prisoners at my law school. Currently, I represent indigent clients and activists as a private attorney in Columbus, Ohio.  I am running for Governor of Ohio to give voters an additional choice and a voice within an already broken system.   Green Party members will be out and about, spreading the word about a Green Governor candidate at community events. Look for us at ComFest and Hot Times in Columbus, Community Pride, Cleveland Pride, Canton First Friday Night July 6,  and other events throughout the summer. Check out our website www.ConstanceforOhio.org for more information on events, volunteering, and making a donation.  We need your support now more than ever.

Who will be Ohio's next governor ? It's up to you !  Not only could Constance Gadell-Newton be Ohio’s first female ever elected as Governor in the State of Ohio, she and Lt. Gubernatorial candidate, Dr. Brett Joseph could be the first Green Party candidates to win. Constance Gadell-Newton is a Criminal Defense Attorney, “ad litem”, Green Party co-chair from 2016-2017 and social justice activist. Dr. Brett Joseph is a multi-talented social systems design consultant, attorney and environmental educator. At a time when the people, planet and peace deteriorate while corporate profits soar, the grassroots Green Party has flourished due to their progressive platform for government of, for and by the people, accepting zero money from corporations, thereby owing nothing to corporate interests in return. Proof democracy still lives! The reference to “peace” in this case, is not world-wide peace, but peace obtained by the repair of many issues on the rise in our State that tear the fabric of our communities and our families apart. The list is long and multifaceted. To name a few, we have the Opioid Crisis, Healthcare, Education, State Prison and Law Enforcement Issues, Environmental issues, Income and racial disparity, Jobs, Homelessness, Veteran affairs, Transportation, Energy, Infrastructure and a State Government that serves the people’s needs over corporate interests. As most are well aware, our media is owned and operated by a handful of wealthy conglomerates. What “news” we are privileged to see on mass media is biased depending on the political direction of ownership. When we read our newspapers, watch local news and look up information on candidates, we find the only ones “media” considers news-worthy to be either Democrats or Republicans, two parties who “pay to play”. Debates including Green Party Candidates are hard to come by, as Green Party members must fight to have an equal footing. Without the flow of corporate cash, relying only on donations from people, these two historic candidates must stand strong against the goliath duopoly who are hand fed with corporate dollars and own both the Red and Blue. Some folks are still blindly unaware of the legislative power of corporate entities over those of the people in Ohio. One of the largest, American Legislative Exchange Council (A.L.E.C.) have private meetings with some of our legislators, where our officials are handed corporate designed legislation, ready to pass in exchange for political funding. Certain government agencies developed to serve the rights of people have been funded or partially funded by corporations in order to undermine their true obligations. Ohioans have an opportunity to bring change this November by electing a Governor and Lt. Governor who will work for the people, for their communities without obliging themselves to “corporate sponsorship”. A “People’s Party”, the Green Party sees the need for change as opportunity for both community and systemic growth. Our issues are more than stand alone issues, they are integrated and the Green Party is uniquely qualified to see the big picture and work for change in a holistic manner. There are answers to these complex issues where creativity flourishes and the will of the people is kept front and center. As a people, we saw what happens when we vote by fear or by choosing the lesser evil. We cry out for a revolution, yet will we let fear cripple us by sticking to the status quo when we have a chance for change? Someone said, “When you always do what you always did, you always get what you always got”. We have a chance for a revolutionary change in Ohio and nothing to lose by voting “fearlessly”. Choose democracy over lesser evil. Choose based on your dreams rather than nightmares. Please send this email to everyone you know ! Send a Green wave across all of the social networks ! get the word out and Vote Green.

Dear Green friends and supporters,   For me, probably the best part of a campaign is all of the wonderful people I get to meet. Meeting and talking with people during rallies, meetings, and festivals is the best way to find out what Ohioans need.   Along with my running mate Brett Joseph, I’ll be attending dozens of events of events this summer, as we gear up for the election. This means we’ll have so many great opportunities to discover how people are affected by problems with the environment, health care and the economy! I'm looking forward to seeing you soon!
