Disturbing News About Ohio

From the Columbus Dispatch, September 8, 2008:

If human trafficking were the offense in an Ohio case, filing a federal charge under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act would be the only option. Ohio does not have a human-trafficking law. At least 40 other states do, Lawson said. "Here, it's never made it out of committee."

Well, at least I can add that to my mission - to get Ohio residents motivated to encourage their lawmakers to pass a human-trafficking law.

Ohio lawmakers are behind the times and slackers.
We deal with the same thing with medical coverage for diabetes..The Diabetes Cost Reduction Act is hung up in committees.
Hope you have better success!
