Signatures Being Collected To Put Equal Rights Amendments On Ballot

(ONN) – The campaign is on to collect enough signatures to put two equal rights measures on Ohio’s ballot in November.

Ohio Equal Rights says it officially launched its signature collection campaign.

The Equal Rights Amendment would prohibit discrimination by state and local governments, while the Right to Marry Amendment would remove a provision from the state constitution banning same sex marriage.

More than 442,000 signatures must be collected for each petition by July 1 to get on the ballot.
