Disturbed by "free speech zones" in public arena
Lately I believe that we're seeing a disturbing trend. In many cases governments have sought to restrict speech in the public arena. In many towns and cities across the country, individuals are prohibited from placing political signs on their own
property. They're told what size they can put out. They're told the times they can put it out, the dates they can put it out, etc. In many public places, individuals have been forced to hold up signs or protest and been confined to free speech zones, far
away from the event that they wish to protest. These individuals doing nothing more many times than just standing there with a sign. These sorts of restrictions concern me because they limit the ability of individuals not only to speak but also to be
heard in public places, people who want to talk about politics, religion or any other matter of public concern. I think we need to be careful as a society before we limit what people can say and where they can say it.

DeWine scores 40% by the ACLU on civil rights issues
The mission of the ACLU is to preserve protections and guarantees America’s original civic values - the Constitution and the Bill of Rights: - Your First Amendment rights-freedom of speech, association and assembly. Freedom of the press, and freedom of religion supported by the strict separation of church and state.
- Your right to equal protection under the law - equal treatment regardless of race, sex, religion or national origin.
- Your right to due process - fair treatment by the government whenever the loss of your liberty or property is at stake.Your right to privacy - freedom from unwarranted government intrusion into your personal and private affairs.
We work also to extend rights to segments of our population that have traditionally been denied their rights, including Native Americans and other people of color; lesbians, gay men, bisexuals and transgendered people; women; mental-health patients; prisoners; people with disabilities; and the poor. If the rights of society’s most vulnerable members are denied, everybody’s rights are imperiled. Our ratings are based on the votes the organization considered most important; the numbers reflect the percentage of time the representative voted the organization`s preferred position.
