i mean, the people of ohio. the petition. >> and they didn't need that many signatures. >> they only need a little over 300,000. >> that's right. >> they got 1.3 million, and i think that's an indication that ohio, you know, ohio is sort of a common sense state, and we don't take to radical and reckless ideas or radical and reckless leadership, and that's what we've gotten from this governor and from this new administration. >> now, i've been out there twice in the last month, and i am very impressed with the energy across all religious racial lines to say wait a minute, this isn't fair. are they going to win this vote though? are they going to be able to repeal this? >> as you said, the poll that came out today says that 57% are opposed to -- to senate bill five. 32% are in favor of it, and i think that's because we have a coalition of people coming together in ohio as never before. many from the community of faith, the labor unions, the building trades, teachers, fire fighters, just ordinary citizens, social s

cain received only 6% of the vote when the survey was taken back in august. meanwhile right here in ohio, things are no different for cain. a poll reelsz released today han top with 28% of the vote, leading romney by 5 points, ron piewl ipaul in third. what's more interesting in a race between cain, romney, and perry in ohio. cain defeats ro romney by 7 pois and perry by 30. joining me to talk about his i rise to the top is businessman and republican presidential candidate, the one and only herman cain. those numbers have to make you feel pretty good. >> they make us feel pretty good, sean, but it means we have to continue to work hard. we're very pleased with that, but we're not letting up.t we we're sticking to our strategy. >> what do you think is the reason for this incredible rise that you've had and not only that, the question i think a lot of us had early on is okay, pawlenty was down and out,mi bachmann had a surge, perry had a surge. a you seem to be maintaining it. what's the reason that you thinu you're able to maintain the surge? >> i think that the florida straw poll that to

i'm proud of ohio, because we are now pushing back and we're seeing a coalition of various groups like and the police officers, the nurses, the teachers, the building trades unions, and the people of faith, the social service folks who are concerned about child poverty, all of these folks are now coming together in ohio, and we're fighting back. i think we're going to have a victory this november, and i think that will take us into 2012 with great hope that we can finally start pushing back. you talked earlier about the millionair millionaires we need some shared sacrifice. >> that's right. >> and the working class has already been sacrifices. >> i'm going to talk about a 96-year-old woman losing her right to vote in the next segment. i was in cleveland and akron, i keep hearing run, ted, run. you've got to make up your mind. >> i want to join you on october 15th, if i possibly can in washington, d.c. >> you've got to be there. thank you for your time tonight. >> thank you, reverend al. >> we'll be right back. i habe a cohd. yeah, i toog nyguil bud i'm stild stubbed up.

ohio ted. i'm not speaking of the particular ballot issues. those are up to the people of ohio. i support the effort of the government. i'm certainly supportive of the republican party's efforts. >> hold it right there. you mean to tell me mitt romney goes to ohio, enters a yes on issue two call center and doesn't have an opinion on the most important issue facing ohio voters? this is another classic romney flip-flop. earlier this year, the former governor of massachusetts playing around on twitter tweeted his support for the kasich law. romney wrote "my friends in ohio are fighting to defend crucial reforms. the state has put in place to limit the power of union bosses and keep taxes low. i stand with john kasich." you mean to tell me he couldn't say that today? he went all the way to ohio to let people know he doesn't have a spine? i mean, think about this. he wants to be president of the united states. i'm not terribly familiar with the two ballot initiatives. wisconsin and ohio have been all over the news. workers rights under attack all over america, with the six radical gov

suburbs of ohio today. as more than 50 lions, bengal tigers and bears roamed the streets. residents locking their homes, children kept behind closed doors. the animals were unleashed on the town by a suicidal man that kept them in his backyard. and abc's david kerley spent the day following this inconceivable story and the animal scouts who had to track wild prey in zanesville, ohio. >> reporter: this sign perfectly captured the fear that gripped this small ohio town today -- exotic animals, wild animals on the loose. what may be the biggest release of dangerous carnivores in u.s. history. the frantic 911 calls. >> 911. >> yeah, there is a lion on mt. perry road and gratiot. >> i am pretty sure i just saw a wolf. >> i think i just seen one. looks like a jaguar or wolf or something. >> reporter: deputies with shoot to kill orders used their pistols to take down lions, tigers, bears and wolves before the sun went down. and with daylight -- >> it is still, still, not a completely secured area. >> reporter: there were still

those are up to the people of ohio. support the effort of the governor to reign in the scale of government. i am not too terribly familiar with it but i am certainlily supportive of the republican party's effort. >> kevin de wine is the chairman of the ohio republican party. thank you very much. is that a waffle? is it acceptable for him to come to ohio and not take a position on this major issue, the most important issue facing the state with the referendum coming up in november. >> it is good to be with you, andrea. i don't think it is. that's not what we asked him to come to ohio. what we have done at the ohio republican party is ask every one of our presidential candidates to come to ohio and participate in some sort of grass roots events, where they would have the opportunity to press the flesh with the gop family. it worked out on governor romney's schedule to make it today. we took him to a victory center where he had the opportunity to interact with better than 100 folks who have been volunteering their time in s

urge they have this blown way out of proportion, ohio is the wild west. is not a word of truth to that >> that was jason carroll. animal expert jack hanna was on the scene soon after the release of the animals. i spoke with jack just a short time ago. he is the director emir rut us it of the columbus zoo, where six of the animals were taken. jack, ohio is a handful of states that doesn't regulate the owners of exotic species. should animals be allowed to own exotic animals, potentially dangerous and large animals? >> large cats, tigers, bears, the answer is no. if they are owning them for a pet or some people use the word hoarding or just having something different, the answer is they should be -- the animal should be taken right away. for instance, there are breeders. i'm in texas, rhinos, hoof stock, have to have the gene pools for the world to succeed. this law is going to be passed in ohio very quickly. the law will exclude some of those folks that can afford permitting. your question is very good. we need to permit this thing. i'm not saying permit pe

they don't have to disclose either now on the union side in the pro-labor stovey of we are ohio that's the major vehicle campaigning for repeal this them selves of the political action committee and under iowa law they have to disclose and they have been disclosed and from what information we has it looks like the pro-union side it's actually raised and spent more it's interesting we saw this same inundation of corporate money in the wisconsin recall elections earlier this year and frankly you know union money coming into the fight you know to push for the recalls. but the the big corporate box really helped republicans keep control that that state by just by the skin of the cheaper one vote could the same result happen here in ohio . well the repeal is been ahead in the polls for a while and there is a pretty large grassroots contingent of people going towards the door to get this repealed however after the republican governors association building a better ohio start bear media campaign the pro repeal side was then dropped in the polls are still ahead but it's going to be close and y

my home state of ohio is one of the top 10 states with the most jobs displaced by nafta, having lost 34,900 jobs. our rapidly increasing trade deficits with countries like china has resulted in the loss of over five million jobs in the last decade. of that five million the state of ohio has lost 103,000 jobs, as a result of the increase in our trade deficit with china. this is not a debate about being for trade or against trade, as some of my colleagues have framed it. this is a debate about learning from the free trade policies we've pursued over the last decade that have proven to be significantly damaging to the american economy and american workers. the numbers speak for themselves. i urge my colleagues to oppose this agreement. i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from ohio reserves. the gentleman from michigan, mr. camp, is recognized. mr. camp: thank you, madam speaker. at this time i yield two minutes to the distinguished chairman of the trade subcommittee, the gentleman from texas, mr. brady. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from tex
