he withdrew his petition and thrown his support behind personhood nevada. that is the other group that was the true personhood initiative in the state, so we're waiting to see what signature collection will look like. the interesting thing about nevada if this does get on the ballot and does pass, they have to do it again in 2014 for it to become law. personhood in ohio, i think you guys are probably noticing a trend. this was filed again, state dhal edged the title, lost. again, appealed to the state supreme court last week, that appeal was denied. and they have been slowly collecting signatures across the state. the interesting thing about ohio, though, is that if i'm a registered ohio voter and sign the petition, and it's not submitted in 2012, my signature could be used to be submitted at a later date. so, they could use 2012 and them being a swing state to build up their petition signatures because they have until july 4th to collect over 385000 signatures. so we're not sure we will see it this year, but it could be a possibility for an off-year like 2

we're unsure if this is another nevada situation where they wait until there is a challenge, withdraw, use that challenge to strengthen their language and try again. but they do have a kind of high threshold for oklahoma for signatures to gather. and a fun fact, rick santorum signed the personhood oklahoma initiative in tulsa a couple weeks ago. and it's being used for earned media and fund-raising by personhood oklahoma, because he is a huge supporter of personhood. personhood oregon. again, basic language. we're kind of sure this isn't going to make the ballot this year. they've tried multiple times, and just to give you a little bit of reference. in 2010, personhood usa tried to get personhood on eight ballots. they only got it on one. so, you know, it's pretty easy to file language for ballot initiatives and pretty easy to get a lot of attention, especially in states that don't usually do ballot initiatives. so it kind of makes a scramble and kind of makes us move. but oregon is one of the places where they filed fetal personhood, but we don't think we're going to see much. some g
