WHAT'S AT STAKE FOR MICHIGAN IN 2010

We will not see another Michigan election like November 2010 in our lifetimes, and the stakes are huge. For insight into why this year is unique, PWA’s 2009-2010 Program Series is bringing experts from a number of fields to share their knowledge with PWA members and guests.

• On August 18th, PWA Candidate Committee member Kym Spring explained how PWA chooses candidates to endorse and fund. Endorsed candidates were present and each spoke for a few minutes. For a full recap of the meeting, see this GR Legal News article.
  
• Bill Ballenger, editor of Inside Michigan Politics, presented a compelling review of the political situation in 2010 to an audience of PWA members and guests in October 2009. Click here for a summary of the key points.
• Our March 17th program featured a distinguished panel who spoke about another hot topic – women’s reproductive health issues and the legal, political, policy and on-the-street issues for women.
  
• Amanda Stitt, Executive Director, Michigan Voice, spoke on February 17th about the implications of the 2010 Census and the legislative redistricting that will follow in 2011. Click here for PWA’s summary of her remarks, and click here to see Ms. Stitt’s presentation slides.

Speak with a louder voice! When we bundle our dollars together, the progressive message has greater force and travels farther. United, we can elect more candidates for state and federal government who will advance our political values! Now you can spread your donations across the year, maintaining PWA as a political power.
