UA supporters weigh in on presidential primary race
Many of us have been glued to the television watching primary results. Depending on how things play out over the next several weeks, Ohio could play a role in who becomes the Democratic nominee. We thought it would be interesting to find out how UAPA supporters are feeling about the candidates, so we implemented our first ever presidential primary survey.
156 UAPA supporters responded -- 140 of them in the first 24 hours!
Questions we asked:
- If the US Presidential primary were held today, who would you vote for
- Choose five topics that will most influence who will vote for in the 2008 Presidential Election.
- How difficult will the upcoming presidential race be for the Democratic presidential nominee to win?
- Why do you support UAPA?
Check out the results and our analysis.

Earn $$ as Democratic Poll Worker
There remains a critical need for Democratic poll workers in Franklin County for the March 4th Primary.
This need includes Presiding Judges (who manage the polling place and supervise the other judges) and regular Judges (who variously oversee the poll books and voter indentification and signature requirements; oversee the provisional ballot process; or oversee the operation of the voting machines).
Presiding judges are paid $160 for the work, training and transportation costs. The presiding judges are required to take a four-hour training course.
The other poll workers are paid $110—$95 for Election Day and $15 for the 2-hour training.
Even young adults can be presiding judges. Pass this on to anyone interested.
Those interested in working can register online at or call the Board of Elections at (614) 462-3100 or sign up at http://vote.franklincountyohio.gov
A UAPA supporter who served as a Presiding Judge for the last election and will be doing so again for the Primary would be happy to share experiences and/or assist in getting you involved as a poll worker.
Sign up here if you would like to be contacted by our UAPA supporter.
