The Ohio Patriot Plan
Blackfive has information on the Ohio Patriot plan, legislation introduced in Columbus that would protect reserve and national guard members on active duty outside the state. Word is that it may die in committee though, so Blackfive suggests contacting Representative Peter Ujvagi and expressing your support.

Thanks for getting the word out. Earlier this week, I met with the sponsor, Rep Ujvagi, district47@ohr.state.oh.us, and he was very impressed with the number of e-mails he's received from Ohioans serving around the world.
FYI, the Ohio Patriot Plan now has a bill no. (House Bill 426 http://www.legislature.state.oh.us/bills.cfm?ID=125_HB_426.). Testimony in favor of the bill is scheduled for March 23rd at 1500 - I'll be there to testify. Once it gets out of the house, it still needs Ohio Senate approval. One Ohio state senator to contact is Senator Robert Gardner from Madison, Ohio. His e-mail is SD18@mailr.sen.state.oh.us
If you'd like to hear a news report on the Plan, here it is http://statenews.org/news/2004/march/opr-030904-02.html.
I'll keep providing updates. Thanks again.
