OHIO STANDS UP FAQ

Who is Ohio Stands Up? 

We are a group of concerned freedom-loving Ohioans, who recognize the tremendous sacrifices made by countless generations of Americans throughout our nation's history to secure, preserve, and protect our God-given rights. We believe it is our duty and privilege to protect our fundamental liberties while demanding our elected leaders be held accountable and be shown they cannot act with impunity for their tyrannical and corrupt behavior. We are united in our common goal to stand against continued violations of our Constitutional freedoms, while working to restore those freedoms from which we have been deprived. Leading Ohio Stands Up! is our all-volunteer Board comprised of 5 courageous Ohioans from all walks of life and careers. The Board is responsible for making all legal and financial decisions and leading this new movement.
