[Ohio-Talk] EXT: Re: Call to Action: Submit Testimony in support of House Bill 225

[Andra Stover]

Hello, I have been having some real trouble and trying to do this. When I
open the document, nothing happens. I even tried it on my mobile device and
it won’t let me edit any field. I am so very sorry. I am trying to work on
this right now as we speak.
Has anyone else had troubles with this? Also, how have you filled it out.
Does anybody have just a simple Microsoft Word version of this? Thank you
so very much. I have just a little over an hour to get this done.
Andra
