California, D.C. Dark Money Wants Issue 1 to Fail—and Abortion-On-Demand to Succeed. Will Ohioans Fall For It?
Millions of dollars are flooding Ohio to defeat Issue 1, courtesy of the Arabella Advisors “dark money” network, Tides Foundation, and leftist mega-donors.
Far-left mega-donors want Ohio to vote against Issue 1 on Tuesday, and they’re pouring millions into the race through “dark money” groups to get their way.
New disclosures reveal that the campaign to defeat Issue 1, which would raise the vote threshold for amending the state constitution to 60 percent, has raised close to $15 million, much of it from ultra-wealthy elites in California, D.C., and New York.
Restoration News has traced the biggest contributors to One Person One Vote—branded “Vote No in August” online—to the world’s biggest “dark money” networks, run by D.C. consultancy Arabella Advisors (and its $1.6 billion network) and the Tides Foundation, which help the Left’s top donors anonymously funnel huge sums into political causes across the country.
Other donors behind the anti-Issue 1 campaign include:
- NARAL, one of the country’s top pro-abortion lobbying groups
- Democracy Fund, the philanthropy funded by eBay founder and leftist billionaire Pierre Omidyar
- Unite America, a committee that spent millions to defeat President Trump and elect Joe Biden in 2020
- Karla Jurvetson, a Silicon Valley billionaire and Democrat mega-donor
- Jonathan Allan Soros, son of New York mega-donor George Soros
- Mark Heising and wife Liz Simons, major Democratic Party donors
- National Redistricting Action Fund, a lobbying group created by disgraced former Attorney General Eric Holder to gerrymander congressional districts and give Democrats an electoral edge
- National Education Association, the teachers union responsible for pushing transgenderism and Critical Race Theory on our schoolchildren
We’ve also dug up $278,000 in payments from the campaign to Elias Law Group, the firm of Democrat superlawyer Marc Elias—the mark of professional activism at work.
These groups understand what’s at stake: The future of abortion in Ohio. Should Issue 1 fail, Ohioans should expect the Left to codify abortion “rights” in the state constitution this November. That means abortion up to birth for generations to come.
Ohioans have an easy choice. Voting yes on Issue 1 is the surest way to preserve life in the Buckeye State. Hundreds of thousands of lives are at stake; will you do the right thing?
