COAST (Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending & Taxes) today launched a state-wide campaign in Ohio to encourage voters to “Vote NO on Issue 5 to stop our “Big Brother” State Government from tracking and regulating personal financial decisions of Ohio wage earners.”

According to COAST:

Issue 5 is a repeal of a bad and unnecessary law limiting lending choices for Ohio wage earners, according to COAST.  Even worse, the legislation that Issue 5 will repeal contains utterly Orwellian privacy violations and Soviet-style mandated state re-education camps for certain consumers.

“Anyone who cherishes traditional American liberties will be outraged when they understand what our legislature has done,” said COAST Chairman Jason Gloyd.  “This weird law takes state government to a new level of creepy interference with our lives.”
