SCPD PAC ATTACK
Events, Legislation, and SCPD PAC News

We want to be as good at issues as we are at campaigning.  At our recent membership meeting President Denise Woods offered her thoughts on what she hopes to emphasize in her tenure, and that included a heavy focus on issues.  We can see that just getting good people elected is not enough, we have to make our case for progressive legislation as well.  So we are challenging ourselves as an organization to "wake up" each time there is an important issue and lobby our elected officials to support our position.  We can "live our values" by devoting just one hour a month to issues actions.  This alarm clock icon will appear on each announcement of an issues action we can take.  That will identify the issue as part of our Wake-Up Challenge.

THE CONTEST

Members will earn IPs (Issues Points) in the Wake-Up Challenge whenever they take action on an SCPD PAC issue.  Our Wake-Up Challenge has three goals involving those points.  One is to get at least 72 members to take at least one issues action during 2009.  A second goal is to attain at least 20 points on five separate issues during the year.  A third goal is to attain at least 300 total points during the year.  Each time you take an issues action your points will contribute to all three categories.  Notify Frank Kunstel via e-mail whnever you take an issues action.  (You can easily do this by just hitting the "Reply" button on the e-mail you received that notified you of the event.  Be sure to include which legislators you contacted, as you receive a point for each contact.)
