Urban Agenda
Not since current Lt. Governor Lee Fisher was Ohio’s Attorney General, has an Attorney General aggressively taken on special issues and challenges specifically facing Ohio’s major urban communities. Robert Owens as the people’s Attorney General would not be found Missing In Action.
According to U.S. Justice Department statistics, urban residents had the highest rates of violent crime victimization. Forty-eight percent (48%) of all robberies, the offender used a weapon. Fifty-five percent (55%) of all homicides were committed with handguns. Many citizens do not know their legal rights regarding self-defense.
Too many citizens, because of lack of knowledge regarding Ohio’s laws, go defenseless and become victims needlessly. Most crimes are crimes of opportunity. The most effective way to minimize the potential for crimes is to minimize the opportunity for crimes to occur. And when crime goes down, everyone is more free to pursue the American Dream of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness!
As your Attorney General, Robert Owens will educate urban residents specifically regarding their legal rights to effectively protect themselves, their love ones, and their property. He also will target the source of crime in cooperation with community leaders. In America, sixty-one percent (61%) of all reported hate crime incidents were motivated by race.
Citizens of Ohio have waited long enough for an Attorney General who will champion the issues and challenges facing our respective communities. They deserve an Attorney General who will not serve merely as a stepping stone for his ambitions for the Governor’s mansion, being supported and propelled politically as the prize stock of the Republican or Democratic Party.
Whether you vote early, absentee, or on November 4 — Vote for Robert Owens as your Attorney General!
