From the American Policy Roundtable of Ohio:

The Roundtable has taken a step that has shocked a few people.

Word is getting out across the nation. The Roundtable made a move in Ohio that is creating a few shock waves. We thought you should hear the facts behind the headlines.

On August 18th, Ohio Governor Bob Taft was convicted on four counts of breaking state laws on full disclosure of gifts received from lobbyists and friends.

It was the first time an Ohio governor has ever been convicted of a crime while in office.

Even more disturbing, the Governor had fired others in his administration for failing to disclose the same kind of information he disregarded.

After much prayer, counsel and consideration, the Roundtable wrote the Governor and asked him to resign. We issued a call to all Ohioans to ask the Governor to step away from the public trust he has so badly mismanaged.

Now for some odd reason—many in the media are shocked that an organization standing for Judeo-Christian principles would go so far out on a limb–especially calling for the resignation of a Republican governor. After all, aren’t all people of faith die-hard Republican operatives in disguise? We have launched a website called MoveOnTaft.org. It lays out this whole issue for the people of Ohio and the nation.

It’s never easy to face our fallen nature. We all need God’s forgiveness. No elected official is perfect, nor do we expect them to be, but there comes a time when honor requires stepping aside.

That’s the stand we took. We wanted you to know.
