ACLU Appeals to PA Supreme Court On Behalf of Candidate Stricken From Ballot

(8/31/10) The American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania has appealed to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court a Commonwealth Court decision removing from the ballot Carl Stevenson, an independent candidate running for a state House seat in the 134th district (parts of Berks and Lehigh counties). Earlier this month a Commonwealth Court judge disqualified 97 of his petition signatures because they were obtained by someone who did not reside in the district. The statute requiring petition circulators to reside in the electoral district was declared unconstitutional by a federal court in 2002.

Save the Lancaster County Human Relations Commission!

Members of the Lancaster County Commission are seeking to eliminate the Lancaster County Human Relations Commission (HRC), the agency that enforces the county's anti-discrimination ordinance. They say it's a cost cutting move. Tell the Lancaster County Commissioners not to put a price tag on protecting the civil rights of its residents.
