Groups Oppose Ohio Patriot Act

The Ohio Patriot Act will become law on Friday, and with it comes a
lawsuit against it. One part of the act affects everything from new
government employees to about 60 licensed professions to businesses with
big government contracts.
 
>From this day forward, people will be required to sign the DMA,
Declaration of Material Assistance. You can't be a "member" of, "provide
material support" to, or have "hired" a terrorist if you want to do
business in this state. All new government employees, like firefighters,
have to answer the questions. So do people who want or are renewing 60
different licenses. They include everyone from pesticide dealers, meat
plant owners, pilots, trash collectors and even fireworks wholesalers.
