    New Ohio Laws?

    I'm not sure that this is the correct place to ask this on the forum but....

    I just moved back to OH for a little while..and tho I am not dancing now..I may need to sometime in the near future...

    I have been hearing about a new law about dancing that was passed recently..but haven't met anyone with the true facts...

    If someone could direct me to a website or tell me about the new law that is about to go into effect that would be great!...thanx

    As always, the law keeps being pushed back and changed and bla bla bla. Depending on what part of Ohio you're in depends on hard their enforcing it, apparatnly. I lot of clubs here in Ohio have switched over already for God knows what reason.

    I work in Ohio and I would simply ask the club. I am from North East Ohio and the clubs in Brookpark are already enforcing it while many of the clubs in Cleveland are just doing what they have been doing.

    I know it's long, I got this email from the ACE National headquarter's last week. I would recommend getting as many club's involved in this fight as possible. We in Missouri fought a similar battle a few sessions ago and won so it's not impossible.


    Ohio Battle ‘Closely Watched’ Nationally According to Media Experts

    CCV president Phil Burress and Angelina Spencer, executive director of ACE National are on a collision course in Ohio, according to the Columbus Dispatch.
    The referendum campaign to repeal the CCV’s “Community Defense Act” promises to be a short but fierce battle on Ohio's newly passed “strip-club law”. The fight will culminate in a statewide vote Nov. 6, provided enough signatures qualify for the ballot.
    Reporter Alan Johnson of the Columbus Dispatch claims the campaign will be well-financed -- attracting out-of-state dollars on both sides – “and closely watched nationally by political, business, religious and First Amendment observers because “the battleground will span religion, morals, economics, local control and freedom of expression.”
    • Citizens for Community Values, Burress' group, successfully mounted a 2004 campaign to pass an Ohio constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. The organization has been criticized for refusing to reveal the source of millions of dollars in donations.
    • Citizens for Community Standards is backed by high-octane Ohio lobbyists and deep-pocketed club owners.
    Neil S. Clark, an influential Columbus lobbyist and veteran of 28 years dealing with state government, labeled it "the most complex issue I've ever been involved with." He represents the Buckeye Association of Club Executives.
    The referendum would decide the fate of Senate Bill 16, the Community Defense Act, passed in June by the General Assembly. The law enacted a "no touch" rule for dancers in clubs and clamped a midnight closing time on adult-oriented businesses, including bookstores.
    Burress and his Cincinnati-based conservative Christian group are vigorously campaigning to preserve the law, which passed in June without the Governor’s signature. However, opponents of the law gathered enough signatures to put it on hold pending the outcome of the referendum. Burress said adult clubs, movies and pornography increase crime, reduce property values, speed moral decay and have a harmful secondhand effect on children. But his personal opposition runs deeper because of a self-proclaimed 25-year addiction to pornography that he claims contributed to two divorces.
    Spencer accused Burress and company of spiritual hypocrisy and added that dancers and clubs won't be the focus of the repeal campaign. "This is about the First Amendment, the appropriate spending of Ohio tax dollars, and how this law will be enforced" Spencer said.
    Sandy Theis, spokeswoman for the repeal campaign and a former Columbus bureau chief for The Plain Dealer of Cleveland, said polling shows that the more people know about the strip-club law, the less they like it. "When people hear about this no-touch rule -- if you touch a dancer on the head or the elbow or the toe, you can go to jail for 30 days -- they're astonished."
    Burress expects to get a lot of help from two national organizations: Focus on the Family, led by Dr. James Dobson and the American Family Association, headed by Tony Perkins. Research indicates that these socially conservative groups belong to “The Arlington Group”, a coalition which unites the leaders of all of the most prominent Christian Right organizations in the U.S.
    The CCV has said their grassroots campaign to fight “sex businesses” will include 2 million inserts distributed in church bulletins, radio and other advertising. Burress plans to question politicians about this law and post their responses on his web site: www.ohioelectioncentral.com
    During the ACE National Board of Directors meeting in Las Vegas, members voted unanimously to allow Spencer an unpaid leave of absence so she could relocate to Ohio for the last two months of the campaign. “Angelina strongly indicated that BACE is not in a position to fund her trip because money coming into the fight is scarce,” said ACE National President Michael Ocello. He added: “I want BACE to know that loaning her to this battle is an extraordinary contribution to Ohio because other state chapters and the national organization will inevitably suffer as a result of her absence. But we do agree that this fight is important enough to help where we can. ACE National is a resource for the adult industry and unfortunately wasn’t formed to act as a bank for issues such as this. However, many individual club owners from other states, including most of the ACE National board, voluntarily donated expense funds for Angelina as a gesture of support to BACE for this unusual circumstance
