So...now what does ORTA say/do re. SB 5...do they post their stand on their cover page of their website?

From John Curry, October 18, 2011

Well...here's what they say about SB 5 on the cover page of their website:

"SB5 Referendum Update -County elections boards verified and Secretary of State Jon Husted certified 915,456 signatures from about 1.3 million submitted on petitions by opponents of the SB5. Senate Bill 5 is now headed to the November ballot, giving Ohio voters the final say on the controversial collective bargaining package that drew thousands of protesters to the Statehouse during legislative deliberations earlier this year."

Nice little history lesson, ORTA, but....NO CIGAR! You took no stand at all!

But...if one looks a little more at your cover page they do see this:

ORTA opposes HB 136 – the expansion of the voucher program in Ohio. It’s time to contact legislators on this issue. For talking points in contacting legislators, click HERE

My, my, ORTA, looks like you took a stand when it comes to HB 136. The way I read it, it appears that you really "took a stand" on a House Bill. Correct me if I am wrong, please. Now....why can you take a stand on a House Bill pertaining to vouchers but yet you don't (or won't) take a stand on a State Issue that all the teacher professional organizations have taken a stand as well as the professional associations of the firemen and police? Just what will it take to move you off dead center with Issue 2. You have no courage! What's wrong with your leadership?
