Check this website out. mychoiceohio Basically for the people who want to email and support not banning the pdl's in ohio. If they only knew what problems the pdl causes. Take a look it is funny. They even have a template email all you have to do is fill in your personal info. Unfortunatly they do not do anything for the illegal internet ones but it is a start.

That is hilarious. I am going to delete it and send my support of the new law. Hopefully others from Ohio will got to the website and they will put their support of the law instead of sending emails saying to keep it. I heard another advertisment on the radio about keeping them in Ohio on my way home. It makes me sick that they do not know what they really do to you.

Esp. for you folks in Ohio or other States which are debating the PDL question; write, call, e-mail your legislators, let them know how you feel. Also write letters to the editors for your local newspapers, send e-mails to TV stations, whatever works. I've gone on a few forums for Ohio newspapers and posted my thoughts. (and, yes, I've referred people there who might be having PDL problems to this site!)

yes and they are burning up the TV with ads! Since last night I've already seen 5 commericals, trying to encourage people to be in favor of the PDL, stating, its ONLY 15$ per 100$...Well we all know how "ONLY $15" has caused us many tears and sleepless nights! NO THANKS!

Shazzers, I'd tried and wasn't able to. I'm registered another name, but keep forgetting to use it (hey, I'm old, hee hee!)

I know!! Those commercials are ridiculous! I was taking a drink of my soda when one of those commercials came on TV, I almost choked listening to them compare credit card interest, vs NSF at a bank, vs payday loans!!

OK, I THINK I changed my profile, so we'll see... (I'm technologically challenged!!)
Imale, I know what you mean! No comment necessary, you've said it all... I read a post on one of the Ohio forums, and a lady was saying she was a responsible PDL user and if they were taken away, what would she do? I got the impression that she was using them a lot, even if she WAS paying them off in 1 pay period. I told her that was the type of person that the PDLs try to ensnare; if you have a PDL and can pay it off in one pay period, fine; but what happens if, during that time, you have a medical emergency and don't have the funds to cover the PDL when it's due? If you use PDls' over and over, it's only a matter of time until you're "caught."

I keep seeing more and more commercials on this in Ohio. It is crazy. I can't believe people would want to keep them. The problem is the ones that don't use the pdl and have not been caught in their web are the ones that say keep pdls in Ohio.

PDL's aren't legal here in Maryland, but they ARE in DC and VA, and we have to endure the PDL commercials here, too. Seeing those smiling faces, hearing them say how they're helping the community, providing a service, makes me want to hurl.

it is a conundrum about pdls but what about the 6000 jobs lost in ohio with passage of that law?
