The Ties That Bind Coalition is organizing across the state, mobilizing support for fair budget solutions to protect the future of our state.
We are holding town hall forum forums, generating phone calls and letters to our State Legislators, and conducting a petition drive to demonstrate the support for our shared values.
Our petition goal is 10,000 signatures by March 10th 2011 (shortly thereafter we will be holding an event at the State House to deliver these signatures).
The petition is specifically about supporting the following Ties That Bind budget principles:
1) We believe that the budget is a moral document that should meet the needs of all South Carolinians.
2) We believe we must provide all children access to high quality public education and health care.
3) We believe we must provide adults opportunities for productive employment and continued education that enables them to provide for their families and community.
4) We believe we must provide seniors safe environments, transportation and quality health care.
5) We believe small businesses are essential to our communities and that we must provide them every opportunity to grow and excel.
6) We believe good health care is something all South Carolinians should be able to afford.
Please sign the petition. And encourage your friends to do the same by emailing them or posting the link to this site on Facebook.
You can also download the petition at our Activist Center and call 803.791.9893 for more information on how you can get involved.
