GET READY TO PUT YOUR “FEET ON THE STREET”

Grass-roots activism is the core of SCPD PAC and this logo is what we use to announce to our members the many opportunities we have to help good candidates get elected. Campaign season will be starting soon and SCPD PAC will issue weekly bulletins of key campaign activities our endorsed candidates need help with. We’ve already done some preliminary campaign help—stuffing envelopes for Bob Gippin, candidate for Common Pleas Judge; phone-banking for Bill O’Neill, candidate for 14th Congressional District; campaign planning for Eve Belfance, candidate for Judge for 9th District Common Pleas Court of Appeals and Mike Moran, candidate for State Representative for 42nd District. Our candidates will need YOUR feet (and energy and talent) to succeed, so be ready to live your principles by participating.

While SCPD supports and works on many other issues, the membership has selected these five issues for major focus:

Ending the Iraq War

Voter's rights

Education Funding in Ohio - Member Papers here, here and here

Civil Liberties and National Security

Universal/Single payer Healthcare
