The State AG has approved the first step in the process to qualify an initiative for the November ballot granting Ohioans the right to opt out of federally mandated Health Care. The move is significant, for Ohio does not fit the mold of a traditional southern or western State such as Idaho, Virginia or Texas.

From LegalNewsOnline:

COLUMBUS, Ohio (Legal Newsline)-Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray last week signed off on petition language that would bar federal health care coverage mandates from taking effect in the state.

The petition is being sought by the Ohio Liberty Council, a coalition of 25 conservative and libertarian grassroots groups, including many Ohio Tea Party organizations.

With the attorney general's declaration that their ballot summary is fair and accurate, the petition language now goes to the Ohio Ballot Board for final approval.

If the measure is ultimately approved by voters, Ohioans would not have to pay the likely $750 fine for failure to carry health insurance.

Oddly, Cordray, a Democrat, is on record in strong opposition to the measure, believing Obama's Health Care legislation to be in full compliance with the Constitution.
