Good news AND good news!!

Hello all. Whew. It's been quite a week! We had a STOP Stupak Speak Out on Dec. 2nd and then the Gallery Rally Hop this past Saturday to collect more anti Nelson-Hatch amendment signatures (virtually identical to the Stupak amendment in the House). But the great news is: WE WON!! By vote of 54-45, the Nelson Hatch amendment was defeated. You can find how your senators voted and thank them or "spank" them (voice your disappointment, frustration, rage, etc.) here.

Now, we can put this mural on the front burner again!! We're still scounting locations; there are a couple of places in the Short North that may be promising for long term use BUT we will have to go through the Italian Village Commission to get anything approved to put up (and their next meeting isn't until after the New Year) so we might display it elsewhere in the meantime.

Also, we're looking for a large space that we can create this mural in. Anyone that knows of place that would for (messy) mural creation, should let me know: columbusmural@gmail.com

Stay tuned!

Last Two!

Hey all! These are the last two submissions. It's taken me longer than I thought to get to this because we at Planned Parenthood are really busy trying to turn this whole Stupak mess around. If you're interested you can find out more info here.

Anyhow, this first one is by Laura Smales.




And the final submission is by Sally Louise Polk (she added a note to imagine the background as hot pink.)



Super!! Hopefully we'll get to decide the winner next week.

Submissions!!

Here are some of the amazing submissions we've gotten!! We have two more, which I will post as soon as I get the artists' permission.

First up are two pictures by Ginny Baughman. The first one is titled "Three Mother Tree." The second one is titled "His and Her Window."

OK, these next four are by Cynthia Bellarose:










This next one is by Eddie Sergi.




And the last- but not least- image we have for now is by Meredith Lum with the text by Meredith and Sarah Lum.



Wow. These are great! I'll get the last two posted ASAP and then we'll decide on the winner sometime this week.
