Electoral College
Excerpts taken
from Wikipedia.org The Free
Encyclopedia
Each state is
allocated as many electors as it has
Representatives and Senators in the United
States Congress.
Potential elector
candidates are nominated by their state
political parties in the months prior to
Election Day. The U.S. Constitution delegates
to each state the authority for nominating and
choosing its
electors.
Ohio has
18 Congressional Districts and
2 Senatorial
Districts.
On May
10th, at the Democratic Party State
Convention, Victoria
Wulsin was elected to the Electoral College
for the 2nd Congressional District.
Congratulations Vic! For the two
at large positions that fulfill the 2
Senatorial seats, Governor Ted Strickland and
Ohio Democratic Party Chairman, Chris Redfern
were elected.

Partnerships – the Key to
Excellent
Education
By Jane Sonenshein, State Board of
Education, District 10
Collaboration, cooperation, working together –
all are important if each child is going to

Learning is
a very private effort. Each person learns in a
different way, has different strengths,
weaknesses, and interest in learning different
things. Most of us learn best if we have a
teacher, coach or mentor. That is the most
intimate collaboration, teacher and learner. An
excellent teacher is one of the most powerful
tools in education.

The stakes in the 2008 elections have never been higher. By electing Democrats in November 2008, we can turn around America; create good, high-paying jobs; improve education; make health care affordable and accessible to all; and create new opportunities to restore the American dream. But this change won’t happen unless you get directly involved – starting right now.
