As a concerned citizen of Ohio, I am deeply troubled by the presence of the "On the Record" blog on our government's official website, ohiosenate.gov. Our government is meant to protect its people and be a source of facts and leadership. However, this blog has been used as a platform for disseminating fake news opinion pieces that incite fear rather than providing unbiased information.

A government website funded by taxpayers should uphold principles of neutrality and truthfulness. Unfortunately, this is not currently reflected in our state's official online presence. In an era where misinformation can spread rapidly and cause significant harm, it is crucial that we hold our institutions accountable for promoting accurate information.

According to Pew Research Center, 64% of Americans believe fake news has caused "a great deal" of confusion about basic facts of current events. This statistic highlights how pervasive this issue is nationwide - an issue we are now confronting in Ohio.

By signing this petition, you are calling on the Ohio Senate to remove the "On the Record" blog from ohiosenate.gov immediately. Let us ensure that our public resources are used responsibly and ethically for providing factual information to all citizens without any political bias or fear mongering tactics involved.

Please sign this petition today if you believe in maintaining integrity within our governmental institutions and preserving truthfulness in public communication channels.
