Iraq War Anniversary Vigil in Medina

On March 19th, thousands of people all over the country will gather to hold candlelight vigils to observe the fourth anniversary of the war in Iraq. Together, concerned citizens will solemnly honor the sacrifice made by more than 3,000 soldiers and untold numbers of civilians. As well, a wish to withdraw our troops and establish peace in the Middle East will be expressed. Americans en masse now say we can no longer send our fathers and mothers, sons and daughters under-equipped and unprepared into the middle of an un-winnable civil war. Please join other concerned citizens of Medina at a candlelight vigil on Monday, March 19th. The event details are: Iraq War Anniversary Vigil, Medina City Square, (across from the New Courthouse,) Medina, 8:30 p.m. Please bring a candle. Honor the sacrifice. Stop the escalation. Bring the troops home.

Medina County Democratic Yard Sign Committee

We are continuing to strengthen the Democratic Party in Medina County . Yard signs are a very important part of a candidate's efforts to get his/her name and message out to the voting public. Building on the success we achieved and the lessons we learned during the 2006 elections, we want to create a systematic approach to delivering candidate yard signs for every election. The process will include identifying priority locations by precinct, creating a group of volunteers who will assist candidates in identifying locations, putting together and delivering yard signs. We want to create an 'event' to deliver yard signs. The first meeting of the Yard Sign Committee will be held on Monday, April 16th at 7:00 PM at Panera's 4065 Pearl Road in Medina . We will use the meeting to begin to identify the priority sites within Medina County , outline volunteer opportunities and discuss how we will capture and maintain lists of individuals who are willing to post yard signs on their property. Come join the fun as we turn Medina County Blue!! Please contact Mary Ogden at ogden@zoominternet.net

MCDAC to Hold Common Sense Meeting on March 17th
Repeat Item

On March 17th, from 10 am to noon, the Medina County Democratic Action Committee will be holding a meeting to discuss the future of Common Sense, Medina County's only Democratic newspaper. In 2006 MCDAC delivered approximately 90,000 copies of Common Sense to targeted households. MCDAC wants to establish standing committees to handle both the distribution and writing of Common Sense.

Our goal is to make Common Sense Medina County's source of news about local and county government. To accomplish this, however, we need your help. Please plan on attending the meeting on March 17th at the Cloverleaf Recreation Center located at the intersection of US Route 224 and County Rd. 35, aka, Friendsville Rd. Please let us know by email to joycekimbler@medinacountydemocraticactioncommittee.org that you will be attending.
