How to Get On the Ballot as a Kucinich Delegate

How to Get on the Ballot as a Kucinich Delegate in PA

Get a permission form from PADEMS.com fill it out and send to Dennis Kucinich’s Campaign Headquarters in Cleveland to get his permission to run. The State Committee in Harrisburg, PA needs to have this by Jan. 8, 2008 in order for you to run.
Obtain the Nomination Petition and start gathering the minimum of 250 registered Democratic Party voters in your Congressional District starting Jan. 24, 2008 and ending on Feb. 12, 2008. Each nomination petition contains 50 signatures. You must print on both sides of the 8 ½ by 14 sheet of paper. This will be available at the Bureau of Elections (Department of State) Website. http://www.dos.state.pa.us/elections/site/default.asp. You may also request a hard copy via snail mail from them. The State Dem Organizer at the meeting on Sept. 7th told us to gather 500 to survive any challenges. Be sure you have a voter file list to be sure that the person signing puts in their voter precinct address and not their postal address, that they are a registered Democrat and that they sign it the way they signed it when they registered to vote. Voter files are available from the Party, the County and the State. I learned this the hard way when circulating nomination petitions for Chuck Pennacchio to get him on the ballot.
Each Nomination Petition must be notarized by Notary Public. This costs anywhere from $8.00 to $15.00 a sheet. I found a notary public at work who does it for $5.00. My insurance agent did my nomination petition for committee person for free. He is a Democrat and it was only one sheet. I needed 15 and I had 50 signatures.
Submit you 250 + notarized petitions in Harrisburg, PA to the Bureau of Elections in the North Office Building at the Capitol Complex Second Floor on Feb. 13, 2008 and pay a $25.00 fee to get on the ballot. This fee can be waived if you get special permission from the PA Dems in Harrisburg, PA http://www.dos.state.pa.us/elections/site/default.asp
On April 22, 2008 the tentative date for the Primary, you must receive at least 15% of registered Democratic voters, voting in the Democratic Primary voting for you for the candidate that you are pledged to in order to go to Denver, CO August 24-28, 2008.
If you win, don’t make your own reservations for hotel or airfare. The DNC does that. They get a group rate and want all the Delegates herded and their whereabouts known at all times.

Impeachment PA11

silviantonia — Sat, 16 Dec 2006 19:52:18 -0500

Let us do our work for the 11th district in PA; impeach now! Kanjorski might as well do something decent in his life, before he is too old to run again.

Email me, call me, write to me; let us work together.

Mercury Pollution

jeannekcc — Mon, 13 Nov 2006 16:29:28 -0500

Pennsylvania women and their children need your help!

Toxic mercury pollution from power plants threatens the health of women and their babies. More than 600,000 women of childbearing age nationwide have amounts of mercury in their blood over the level set as safe by the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Academy of Sciences. Unsafe levels of mercury in mothers’ blood and breast milk can lead to learning disabilities, attention deficit disorder, problems with coordination, lowered IQs and even mental retardation.

This issue is crucial to Pennsylvania families since our state’s power plants are the second biggest emitters of toxic mercury pollution in the country. Our state’s Department of Environmental Protection has developed a very good plan, which will reduce toxic mercury pollution by 90 percent.

But Pennsylvania’s mercury cleanup plan is in danger. Some legislators, taking the lead of industry, have mounted a campaign to kill the plan. Unfortunately, many of those legislators are Democrats, who have kept their names as co-sponsors of a bill to kill the rule, swimming against the tide and refusing to stand behind Governor Rendell’s plan.

Please act now to contact Senate Minority Leader Robert Mellow and Speaker of the House John Perzel ask them to protect babies and support our state’s plan. Visit www.pennfuture.org/mercury/ for more information and to TAKE ACTION. There you can also find background information on this critical issue.
