Ohio legislators want to take a trip abroad. Five star hotel, gala dinners, meetings with foreign government officials. And they need you, the Ohio taxpayer, to pay for it. They wrote a bill, put in a five million dollar price tag, and when people started asking questions they removed the number. They did not remove the trip. They replaced it with four words, "necessary and actual costs." No cap. No limit. Whatever it costs, Ohio pays. But this is bigger than a wasteful trip. Ohio passed a law in 2016 barring state agencies from doing business with any company that boycotts Israel. Ohio created its own foreign policy sanctions framework. And we know it crossed the line because Israel's own Minister of Strategic Affairs wrote personally to the Governor afterward and said, "I sincerely appreciate your contribution." A foreign government directing Ohio state legislation and thanking Ohio officials for compliance. Then there are the bonds. Ohio has purchased three hundred and fifty seven million dollars in Israel Bonds with public funds. How many other foreign countries does Ohio hold bonds with? Germany, Japan, Canada? Zero. Because Ohio law was deliberately written so Israel is the only foreign government whose debt Ohioans can legally fund. The Treasurer said after October 7th, "Now is the time to stand with Israel." That is not a fiduciary protecting Ohio's money. That is a foreign policy official. A role the Constitution does not give him. This is a constitutional emergency. The Supremacy Clause says federal foreign policy is the supreme law of the land. Article One Section Ten prohibits states from entering formal agreements with foreign powers. And the Supreme Court has ruled on this repeatedly. 1941, federal government holds full and exclusive foreign affairs authority. 1968, state laws are unconstitutional the moment they intrude into foreign affairs, even without a conflicting federal statute. 2000, nine to zero, the Court struck down a state running its own foreign policy sanctions, the exact same structure as Ohio's law. Nine justices. Zero dissents. And here is what makes this personal. I am running for Lieutenant Governor. HB 188 names the Lieutenant Governor as a required commission member. If this passes and I am elected, state law compels me to sit on a foreign policy commission the Constitution prohibits Ohio from operating. That is not a political conflict. That is a constitutional conflict. I served as Lieutenant Governor of this state. The job is to protect Ohio. Not foreign governments. Ohio. This bill must not pass. And if it does, it will be challenged in federal court immediately, based on eighty five years of Supreme Court precedent that already says Ohio cannot do this. No matter where you stand on the war, this is bigger than the war. The Constitution is not optional. And Ohio is not a country. Vote Casey Putsch for Ohio Governor to stop wasteful spending.
