This Personal Choice Issues Directory is evolving to assist the efforts of the Personal Choice Cause.

• The original Issues Directory can be found by following the link shown in the column to the right. It primarily focused on issues addressed by PC Party of Utah candidates for the 2004 elections. About 35 issues are listed in that directory.

• A 2005-2006 Issues Directory will become available for Personal Choicers in Utah who announce their intent to seek an office over the next couple of years. If this applies to you, please let us know.

• As Personal Choice obtains ballot status elsewhere, Issues Directories will become available for those locations as well. If this applies to you, please let us know.

Attention all Personal Choicers!

If you consider yourself a Personal Choicer, whether you are considering running for office or not, and would like to express yourself about an issue with an issue statement, this site would like to try to establish a Personal Choicer's Issues Directory for your participation. Though this project would not start off being automated online, if participation is sufficient and appropriate and well received, it will probably become automated.

Let's get it started and give it a try with these following guidelines:

• Your content must be appropriate for a general audience for it to be accepted for posting here. All materials submitted will be reviewed; unless, of course, this project becomes overwhelmed by those interested in participating, in which case this project will be restructured, discontinued, or saved for when available resources can respond better to the project. This site retains the right to post or not to post any materials you submit. Please note, your personal choice of how you wish to express yourself is not what guides this site's determination of acceptance. This site must abide by the terms of its hosting service in order to maintain its presence on the internet, and consequently, in order to assist the efforts of the Personal Choice Cause.

• The actual text of your issue statement should be contained in a simple ascii text document from a program such as Microsoft Notepad. If your content is accepted, it will be copy/pasted into a web page from this text document. Formatting is not particularly important, but please refrain from using tabs to indent your material.

• Your content will not be spelling or grammar checked. You are responsible for the correctness of the materials you submit, though some instances may become automatically changed within the software being used.

• Length is somewhat flexible, as long as this site is able to provide adequate space. (This is determined primarily from available funding resources, such as what may be available from the efforts of the PC-PAC and its Online Store.) For now, let's try to keep the length to about 1,000 words or less.

• Digital images may be included with what you submit, but please, only provide the following for consideration, and only if you wish to:
  -- one image of yourself.
  -- one image relevant to your issue statement.
  -- any logo relevant to your issue statement.
  Please keep your images small. An image of yourself or any logo will probably only be around 150x150 pixels online, or smaller. An image relevant to your issue statement may vary, but the fewer bytes the better, and any outrageously huge image material will be promptly disposed of to maintain this site's web space resources.

• Copyrights of any material you submit, whether it's text, images, or otherwise, that does not belong to you, at least, as best as this site might ascertain, will not be accepted unless you provide acceptable authorization from the copyright holders. You are responsible for any inappropriate copyright infringements and this site will not accept liability and will remove any inappropriate material promptly, which is also in accordance with this site's agreement with its hosting provider.

• Submit all your issue statement materials and information in an email to this site as follows:
  
  -- Show "PC Issue Statement Submission" in the subject line.
  -- Provide the following information in the body of the email message:
       -- an identifying name for you.
       -- contact info you would like shown on your page.
       -- the city (or county), and the state you reside in.
            (your general location will be on your page)
       -- the date your issue statement was authored.
       -- the specific subject of your statement, if needed.
       -- the general issue you feel you are addressing.
       -- complete web addresses for online material referred to in your issue statement, as well as the title of the page where the web address connects. Links will be established where functional, reasonable, practical, and relevant. Excessive linkage might be discouraging to those getting this done, though, so please be considerate.
  -- Attach simple text document and images to email.
  -- Send the email.
   

• If your issue statement materials are accepted, they will be posted as soon as possible, but there is no guarantee of how long it might take. This is heavily dependent on the available abilities and resources of this site. Your patience, when needed, is appreciated.

• These guidelines are subject to revision when necessary and without notice. Please refer to these guidelines just prior to submitting your materials.

If issue statement material is provided by anyone and return communication by this site to the email address used to provide the material does not function, or there is no response in a timely, appropriate manner, the material will not be accepted. If you choose, you may provide clearly defined private contact information in your email to this site (such as an alternate email, or a phone number). This private information will only be used for this site to communicate with you, if necessary, and will not be provided to anyone else without your permission, unless lawfully requested by appropriate authorities.

An Issues Directory for candidates seeking election certainly seems appropriate. This project to develop a Personal Choicer's Issues Directory for all of you who consider yourself to be a Personal Choicer whether you are considering running for office or not, though, is thought to be a challenge worth attempting. Such a directory could become invaluable to everyone who considers themselves to be Personal Choicers, as well as to those wishing to explore the parameters of what others feel Personal Choice is all about. How this project evolves depends on those of you who choose to participate. This site offers no guarantees, but is hopeful of the attempt, and will do its best for this project.

Thank you!
