Clients Needed to Challenge Ohio Patriot Act - Only the Brave Need Apply
 

Recently, many agencies and departments of the State of Ohio are requiring people and businesses to sign a form titled “Declaration Regarding Material Assistance/Non-assistance to a Terrorist Organization.”  Among those required to sign are new employees of the State of Ohio and its subdivisions (including colleges & universities, those seeking or renewing various licenses, and those individuals or businesses doing $100,000 or more of business with the State.

We have heard from people across Ohio who are offended by this requirement and concerned about their constitutional rights.  As we continue to prepare additional legal challenges to these intrusive and unnecessary forms, we want to hear from anyone affected by this requirement.  Please feel free to write, call or e-mail our office to discuss your legal rights.
