How unconstitutional trying to prevent people from voting- called winning by cheating

Also less poll workers needed Dwight and the elderly can vote

Ohio is at war with our state legislators who cont. to doing mapping that is continuing to sway the vote- So far they have not done so.

they have been rejected 3 times

Thy are horrible in Ohio- Just passes that people do not have to license and can carry concealed weapons no extra training-

From Wendy: I have emailed several large corporations asking them to not donate to the Senators and Representatives who voted to not certify the 2020 election. I was surprised to see the National Credit Union Association gave donations to these people. I wrote to this Association and my local credit union. I did not find an email for Boeing. If anyone knows the email address, please let me know.

Can she please enlarge the document

Is there room in civics education for exploring alternate voting methods, like Ranked Choice Voting?

Thanks for the question Carol. You’ll be able to bring that up after Beth’s presentation.

There was an article in the Skagit Valley Herald on Feb. 20, 2022 about the 4/5 grade program at Jefferson Elementary School in Mount Vernon. I haven’t seen it yet, but evidently, students in the civics class created a video that showcased what they had learned in their civics class. It involved lots of learning about local government by interviewing city officials. I’m looking forward to seeing it later this evening!

In third grade, my daughter started a petition to improve her playground, The kids signed on, and the playground equipment was provided. All the kids learned from that activism.

Q: Is Civic Education something parents opt out of, like Sex and Consent education? This would be great. My grandson is in “Leadership” but it doesn’t sound anything like this. I will ask more questions.

That’s a great example, Nancy! Reminds me of the 5th grade girls in Anacortes who also used a petition to get plastic utensils in their cafeteria replaced with REAL flatware! Kids can do so much give the tools!

Civics tools, that is!

The League’s text books are fantastic!

Adults can use it, too! The older 6-12 version.

Lake Washington school kid petitioned the school board to do more about climate.

When I joined the LWV in Thurston county they sent me a copy of The State We’re In: WAwshington It’s great. Join the League and they will send it to you.

Lots of nice pictures and great side bar stories to illustrate the concepts. My kind of book!

kids

Maybe they should be send to all our Senators and Representatives! Seems like some could be better educated.

The recall of the Issaquah school board years ago was very very messy. Informed voting is much cleaner.
