We have a Poster Contest Winner!
Janel Ganaway, age 12, submitted the winning design for the PA League of Young Voters "Unlock the Vote" poster contest. One thousand copies have been printed and distributed throughout the city in selected neighborhoods. The poster contest was part of the PA League's ongoing Unlock the Vote program, which encourages inmate
and ex-offender communities to know their rights, get registered, and vote. |

Keeping up with the campaigns
Presidential campaigns get more attention and focus than any other campaign in this country, and while the League wants to get out as much information on the down-ballot candidates as possible, it is still important to know what the Presidential campaigns are up to. This widget from CNN breaks down where the fundraising, ad spending, candidate visits, and position in the polls for the Democrat and Republican presidential candidates by state. See where Pennsylvania ranks! |

Return of the HOTSHEET
The fabled "Hotsheet" weekly email blast, where we skewered or praised local legislation and government actions (or inaction, as the case may be), told you where to find the most happening local events, and kept you up-to-speed on what the League was doing 'round here. Well, it's back, but in a new format -- now you can check out the Hotsheet online, see it's archives, get the RSS feed, or if emails are your first love, sign up for an email digest where the Hotsheet content is delivered right to your inbox. |
