This compassion expansion statement could be moved as a resolution by party precinct representatives in every organized county party in Ohio, either Democratic or Republican.
To expand healthcare human rights it’s important to use the language of healthcare human rights – listed below. SPANOH has embraced human rights principles in their language. Photo Petitioners have embraced human rights principles in their language. Have a group that wants to become photo petitioners with the Healthcare Human Rights Collaboration? All it takes is a camera and a computer.
During 2012 Election Season
Call all candidates for public office in all parties and ask if they support such language. Ask them to go on record about the language. Post positive and encouraging messages on their Facebook pages encouraging them to support healthcare human rights.
Call both of your elected precinct party representatives and ask each one if they will use this language AND move a county party resolution that adopts this language when talking about expanding healthcare human rights. Call your local board of elections to find out your elected precinct representatives in both parties.
