My reflections on the first anniversary of Caring Citizens Chapter chartering efforts began today, January 1, 2012, in corporate worship at Christ Episcopal Church, Dayton, Ohio.

Greetings, Kurt,

You and I serve together on the state council of SPANOHIO. I was very excited to hear at our last council meeting you will be posting photos to our Healthcare Is A Human Right Collaboration photo petition group. I look forward to your first upload.

I am also very excited you are considering filing a petition to place your name on the 2012 primary ballot for the position of party representative from your precinct / ward. The deadline for that filing in Ohio is 12/07/11. You should consider checking that date. I have not confirmed it since the state drew new lines for our political districts. You should also double check to see if your county party elects party precinct representatives every two years or every four years. If it’s every four, that aspiration will have to wait till 2014. However, you could place your name on the 2012 primary ballot for the position of state party representative from your state senate district. Continue reading →
