When times get tough one can lose sight of the patriotism revealed in the day-to-day work accomplished by leaders and activists. The people who win some battles but lose too many and yet get up and work even harder the next day: thus, the genesis of the ReSisters of Central Ohio Courage of Conviction Awards.

UAPA, with the help of our members and friends, provided a tremendous amount of support to our efforts to turn Franklin County and Ohio blue. Unfortunately, all our efforts didn't result in Ohio voting the way we would have wished, with the exception of Jennifer Brunner's victory in the Supreme Court race. In Franklin County, we had much better results with Gary Tyack becoming the new Franklin County Prosecutor and 10 of 10 judges winning their races.

In the fall of 2010, UAPA held its first annual Blue Brunch. It was a progressive dinner hosted by three UAPA members. Now, we hope to have a celebratory Blue Brunch for our 15th Anniversary!

Because of the really cold weather on the date scheduled for January's Book Club, the January book (Becoming by Michelle Obama) was rescheduled for March and subsequent books were moved back a month. There is no February Book Club scheduled. See our events here and on our Facebook page for specifics.

Are you still looking for something to do when you aren’t canvassing or phonebanking for Democratic candidates? UAPA needs you to help pass out sample ballots at the Early Vote Center, 1700 Morse Road. For the past several elections, Jody Scarbrough and Carole Depaola have coordinated a program to pass out cards listing candidates endorsed by the Franklin County Democratic Party. Volunteers are needed to ask people on their way in to vote if they would like a Democratic sample ballot. That is all! However, this program requires many volunteers.
