1. What is your favorite aspect of KFTC?
I like that in a world of so many partisan political organizations, KFTC remains progressive but non-partisan.
2. What are some of KFTC’s activies that you have participated in?
I have lobbied with KFTC and have participated in voter registration drives and the rallies against mountaintop removal mining and in favor of restoration of voting rights for former felons.
3. What role do you feel organizations like KFTC play in the political process?
KFTC plays an important role in providing a link between legislators and their constituents and works to increase voter turnout among traditionally low-turnout voting blocs.
4. When and why did you join KFTC?
I joined KFTC in fall of 2005 out of an interest in getting more involved in the Lexington progressive community.
5. What issues does KFTC work on, that you feel are the most important/significant?
I am most personally interested in the issues of mountaintop removal mining and tax justice, because I think they both put Kentucky behind in the game, as usual. By that count too, restoration is important because it also reinforces the negative image of Kentucky as a backwards state.
