Issue 5 isn’t about “financial freedom,” as the payday industry likes to claim. Consumers who get trapped in a mountain of inescapable high-interest payday loan debt are anything but free. The payday lenders like to claim that they are the only alternative some Ohioans have. That’s just not true. Tennessee-based payday lender “Check Into Cash Inc.” told the SEC when the company planned to sell stock in 1998: “Customers have access to alternative sources of cash to satisfy their short-term financial needs but prefer [Check Into Cash's] simple, convenient, confidential service.” Vote YES on Issue 5.

Big brother style. Forget if you have used a PD loan or not-- FOCUS on the fact that other consenting adults do and are capable of making their own decisions, based on their individiual situations. Who are we to say no, you can't use that credit card? Or no you can't use that bank? Forget everything else -- FOCUS on the fact that eliminating payday loans DOES NOT eliminate the need for short term financial options. I bet 99.9% of the OGA doesn't have to worry about the day to day necessities the rest of are dealing with. They have insurance, pensions, well paying jobs. Forget about the Pday loan argument -- FOCUS on the controlling and spending of our household money by the state. Considering our current economic situation... I vote for less intrusion!! PLEASE let me manage my own darn $$ since the gov't has shown they are not responsible, accountable or budget conscious. Ohio>> 60M in debt!! Forget about the Pday loan side-- FOCUS on what else the government is going to decide in the future (under the guise of "paternalism") that we aren't capable of handling as adults. Restricting how much can be spent on food? alcohol? cigarettes? housing? gambling? clothes? FOCUS on the fact that the OGA is intruding on our personal financial decisions... where does it stop?? Why do they think they know better what will work for us than we do? We live it every day!!! The Issue of 5 is waaaay bigger than PD Loans >> its about Financial Freedom of Choice, which I consider to be a BASIC FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT! ***NO on ISSUE 5!**** http://www.buckeyeinstitute.org/article/1238 Forget if you agree with pday loans or not- FOCUS on the fact that the Ohio General Assembly thinks they have the right to control what financial products are available to the citizens of Ohio.
