Pennsylvania Conservative Council in 2010

My good friend Skye (pictured), who blogs at Midnight Blue Says, commented at my Facebook page yesterday, saying her PACC meeting was "inspirational." Skye's talking about the Pennsylvania Conservative Council, a citizens' activist group located in West Chester, PA . The website is here. As Skye wrote a year ago upon founding the group:

After months of planning, We have crafted a mission statement, composed our by-laws, elected a steering committee and put together the framwork that is PACC. We have focused our activities towards letter writing campaigns, seating Republican committee members and running for elected office. No small task, indeed, with guidance from the local GOP and a state legislator we have made significant inroads towards our stated goals. Together we can build a better Republican party.

Skye and PACC did fabulous work in last November's election, campaigning and organizing for conservative candidates in the West Chester Area School Board elections. Sky's got a couple of posts on their success electing their slate. See, "We Did It - CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEW MEMBERS OF THE WEST CHESTER AREA SCHOOL BOARD!," and "WCASB Race in Detail."

Skye's also been busy completing some of her studies. She just earned her professional certificate in infection control. And on top of that, she's been super involved with photography and charity work.

As a professor of political science, and a tea party patriot, I'm really inspired by Skye's commitment to conservative values and her work putting them into action. I look forward to learning more about PACC and Pennsylvania's grassroots conservatives in 2010.
