Franklin County Coalition Voter Guide Now Available on the Internet
CONTACT: The Franklin County Coalition's 2000 Voter Guide asked several questions of candidates running for President, Attorney General, Auditor General, State Treasurer, State Senate, and State Representative across Franklin County. The Candidate Questionnaire, which was distributed to all candidates in late August, asked questions concerning corporate animal factories, use of recycled paper products for government offices, preservation of forest and farmland across the County, and about the importance of historic preservation. The Franklin County Coalition (FCC) is currently distributing the Voter Guides through the Coalition's seventeen organizational members and through its thirty locally owned business endorsers. An initial printing of 10,000 Voter Guides was completed at the beginning of October, and the Coalition expects to print an additional 30,000 Guides for distribution. The Coalition will be staffing almost all of the seventy-five (75) polling places across Franklin County. Anyone interested in volunteering to distribute Voter Guides on Election Day should contact the Coalition at 530-0764. Thomas Linzey, coordinator of the Coalition, explained that "through distribution at the polling places, through the membership of our organizational nonprofit members, through our individual members, and through our businesses, we're attempting to reach all Franklin County voters this year with the Guide. We believe that it is an important tool for discerning candidate positions on issues important to Franklin Countians." Individual copies of the Voter Guide are being mailed on request to Franklin County voters. To request a copy of the Voter Guide, contact the Coalition at 530-0764. |
