Just a reminder that the Pennsylvania Primary is TODAY, May 19. Polls are open from 7 AM to 8 PM. Voting takes only a few minutes, but it is incredibly important!
PLEASE exercise your right to determine who makes the laws that affect your life.
Not sure who to vote for? Call and discuss with friends, then go to the polls.
On today's ballot are statewide races for courts. These are more important than most folks might be aware. 2010 will be the decennial census, which means redistricting. When there are disputes, this is handled by the State Supreme Court. The candidate who get elected this year will decide not only important cases, but might make rulings that will affect what happens in our state legislature!
(And we received word today about a representative in Blair County who wants to introduce a constitutional amendment that will ban marriage equality.)
As we have seen recently in several states across the country, GLBT equality issues are often decided by state courts, so it's vitally important to elect candidates who understand and support fairness and equality sitting on the bench when GLBT issues come before the courts.
The following candidates are endorsed and/or recommended by Liberty City Stonewall Democrats, Steel City Stonewall Democrats, the Pa Chapter of NOW and the PSEA.
Please get to the polls on Tuesday and cast your vote in support of:
- Justice of the Supreme Court (vote for one)......Jack Panella
- Judge of the Superior Court (vote for three)......Anne E Lazarus - John Younge - Kevin F McCarthy
- Judge of the Commonwealth (vote for two)......Barbara Ernsberger - Daniel Bricmont
