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.

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.

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.
