CADCA Presidential Primary Election Guide 2008
Making Drug and Underage Drinking Issues a Priority
Background
“All politics is local.” Public policy is fundamentally decided at the polls. It is more important than ever for those concerned about drug and alcohol prevention, treatment and recovery to put these issues on the political agenda. The upcoming presidential primaries provide a wonderful opportunity to get our issue on their radar screens. Presidential candidates must hear from constituents about the importance of solving the illegal drug and underage drinking issues through effective community-based prevention and treatment programs. To help you in this process, Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA) has assembled an Election Guide specifically for the 2008 Presidential Primaries. The CADCA Presidential Primary Election Guide gives you the tools you need to raise and address prevention and treatment issues at campaign events around the country. The CADCA Presidential Primary Election Guide also provides a strategy to ensure that you communicate two centralized messages at election events across the country. The messages are: DEAL WITH DRUGS! THEY COST; THEY KILL. DEAL WITH UNDERAGE DRINKING! IT COSTS; IT KILLS. The CADCA Guide includes the following information: • • • • • • • • Candidates for the President of the United States and their Contact Information* (pages 3-4) 2008 Presidential Primary and Caucus Dates in Chronological Order* (page 5) How to raise underage drinking and illegal drug issues with the candidates (page 6) How to organize a campaign event (pages 7-8) Sample questions to get the candidates on record (pages 9-10) Sample op-ed piece (pages 10-11) Points of Contact for State Boards of Elections (Appendix 1) A follow-up form to document the candidates’ positions (Appendix 2) *Subject to change, last updated (10/29/2007) CADCA’s hope is that coalitions around the country will use this Guide to let candidates know that they must: DEAL WITH DRUGS! THEY COST; THEY KILL. DEAL WITH UNDERAGE DRINKING! IT COSTS; IT KILLS.

How to Raise Illegal Drug and Underage Drinking Issues with the Candidates Attend Campaign Events, Forums, and Town Meetings
Call the candidates’ schedulers or the candidates’ campaign directors to find out when and where the candidates will be in your area. You can obtain candidates’ contact information at CADCA’s website located at http://capwiz.com/cadca/home/. Once at this site scroll down to Elections and Candidates where you can either type in your zip code or click on Elections and Candidates to pull up your state candidates’ information. Publicize the event within your coalition and through other prevention and treatment networks with which you collaborate. Project Vote Smart, located at http://www.vote-smart.org, is another comprehensive web page that you can use to track relevant candidates. Make sure that you have coalition members or volunteers at each event for the candidate in the election you are targeting to ask questions to get the candidates on record. (Sample questions are on pages 9-10.) If your coalition publishes a newsletter, you may qualify for a press credential for campaign events. If this is the case, try to attend events and forums as part of the press corps. Organize coalition members and other volunteers at each event with signs that say: DEAL WITH DRUGS! THEY COST; THEY KILL and DEAL WITH UNDERAGE DRINKING! IT COSTS; IT KILLS. Make sure to tell the sign holders to position themselves in front of any TV cameras or reporters. It will be very powerful if signs with these messages show up in the press in your community. We also suggest that all of the sign holders wear red. This will create a visual effect that ties the centralized message to a uniform color around the country.
Encourage local media to focus on the drug issue
Make your own news. Find out when candidates will be on talk radio shows and call in with questions pertaining to drug and alcohol issues (for sample questions see pages 9-10). Send letters to the candidates asking them to respond to locally tailored variations of the sample questions. See if your local daily newspaper will agree in advance to print the candidates’ responses to your questions. If so, let the candidates know this, and they will very likely respond. If they respond, publicize the responses locally through your newsletter, letters to the editor, editorials, etc. If you get a commitment from one candidate, tell the other candidates “Candidate X is on board, where do you stand?” Publicize the answers. Brief your local press corps (print, radio, TV). Try to get them interested in raising questions about the candidates’ positions on addiction issues. Schedule an editorial board meeting to discuss these issues. Writing an op-ed piece also will draw attention to drug and alcohol issues through publication in your local newspaper. For more information on writing an op-ed piece and for a sample, see pages 10-11.
Presidential Debates
A number of networks allow viewers to email questions to candidates during and after televised presidential debates. Also, for the first time, web only debates will allow internet users to directly ask candidates questions, either through text or video submissions. This is an excellent opportunity that should be capitalized on to get our questions on public record. Online debates represent a new forum to ask candidates about their views on drug and alcohol prevention, 6
treatment and recovery issues. Yahoo, The Huffington Post, and Slate websites have announced their plans to host two online debates hosted by longtime PBS host, and former 60 Minutes correspondent, Charlie Rose. The debates, one for Republicans and one for Democrats, will take place after Labor Day this year. Former Democratic presidential hopeful Howard Dean is scheduled to deliver opening remarks at the Democratic debate. These debates and participation by Rose and Dean represent the shift in how today’s voters receive more of their information through online methods.
How to Organize a Campaign Event 10 Steps to Organizing Political Events on Issues Concerning Alcohol and Drug Use
1. In order to organize and host a political event, you need to organize your effort well before the election. Organizing a campaign event requires a couple of months lead-time and lots of patience. Keep in mind that events for federal campaigns will require more lead-time than events for state or local campaigns. Create a list of all of the groups that might be interested in hearing the candidates’ positions on the issues of drugs, alcohol, and violence. In order to attract a critical mass of partners and candidates, you may need to broaden the focus to include other related issues. This list should include, but is not limited to, parents; teachers; PTA members; school board members; members of the faith community; lawyers; judges; police; health care professionals; social workers; drug and alcohol counselors; and members of the state MADD chapter. Contact all of these groups and individuals to determine their level of interest. If they express an interest, ask if they will help plan the event. Arrange a meeting with those who agree to help within one or two weeks of the initial conversation. 2. At the first meeting, concentrate on getting organized enough to send out informal invitations to each campaign’s scheduler. You will need to decide if your primary event will be a “closed” event (only one party will be allowed to participate) or an “open” event (all parties will be allowed to participate).1 Create a theme that will interest as many people as possible with a catchy title that will engage the press. Consider all the necessary logistics of the event, including: theme; location; possible weather conditions; food and beverages to be served; a fair, reputable moderator; and room for press and television coverage. Call the vendors and venues to determine availability and cost. 3. Immediately after you decide on the basics--whether the event will be open or closed, the three top dates, and a general theme--contact each campaign’s scheduler in writing as soon as possible. You do not have to provide every detail, but the scheduler needs to be able to place possible dates on the candidate’s list of events. The scheduler will then try to narrow down dates and events the candidate wishes to attend—the process requires a great deal of patience and flexibility. You or someone with a personal connection to the candidate or political party should serve as the contact person to the scheduler.
1
Since candidates are not competing against the other party in primaries, a closed event may attract more candidates. Nevertheless, a bi-partisan approach from the field is imperative and you should therefore consider offering an open primary event. Also, see Appendix 3 for federal tax and election laws governing candidate appearances. 7
4. Follow up the informal invitations with a formal invitation to the candidate. Be enthusiastic, yet polite in asking for the presence of the candidate at the event. You may want to invite each candidate’s proxy, e.g., spouse, other family member or elected official, in case the candidate is unable to attend the event. Be sure to list the other organizations that are co-sponsoring the event. Do not make false promises about the amount of press or the number of people who will attend the event. Additionally, contact the state and/or local political parties as soon as possible and extend an invitation to the event because they will play a large role in determining candidates’ activities. 5. When you receive a commitment that a candidate or his/her proxy will attend, hopefully six to eight weeks prior to the event, finish making all the necessary arrangements laid out in step two. 6. Stay in regular contact with the campaign offices as well as the offices of the state political parties, especially as you draw near to the event. Any time you have legitimate news about your event (e.g., a new sponsor signs on) contact the candidates to show them how successful you have been. Two to four weeks before the event, request a definitive answer on whether or not the candidate or proxy will be at the event. If the answer is yes or probably, then ask what you can do to help advance their team. Maintain regular contact with the campaign and the state and/or local party and inform them of the candidates and VIPs who have agreed to attend the event. Finally, call the week of the event to serve as one last reminder. 7. Two to three weeks prior to the event, fax media advisories to all of the television and radio stations, and local, state, and national print media, depending on the nature of the campaign. Remember to keep the state and/or local political parties and all of your collaborators abreast of developments. Follow up with a phone call, confirming that the correct person received the advisory and ask if he or she is planning to cover the event. Call again two days before the event to make sure that the person will attend the event. If you know of someone who has a past relationship with the press, then ask him or her to be the contact person for the press. You should try to generate interest several weeks before the event by placing editorials on substance abuse treatment and prevention and the race in the local newspapers. If your editorials get published, send copies to the campaign office, the state political parties and to CADCA! 8. Make signs, banners, and t-shirts with the centralized messages: DEAL WITH DRUGS! THEY COST; THEY KILL and DEAL WITH UNDERAGE DRINKING! IT COSTS; IT KILLS. Make sure you have a core group of 10 to 20 people who will hold these signs or wear the t-shirts facing the cameras and press during the event. 9. Prepare a list of questions for the candidates and pick people who will be prepared to ask them. You can use the questions on pages 9-10 of this Guide. 10. Make sure that you have contacted all of the individuals and groups who are interested in attending. In order to ensure a large turn-out, you must use newspapers, fliers, editorials to local newspapers, and personal phone calls to publicize the event for several weeks right up to the day of the event.

Sample Questions to Get Candidates on Record
In order to get the candidates’ positions regarding substance abuse prevention, treatment, and recovery on the record, CADCA has prepared the following questions to be asked at election events, town meetings, radio call-in shows, and candidate forums. Prevention 1. Community anti-drug coalitions have proven effective in reducing drug use and underage drinking in this community and in many others across the country. If elected, would you support increased funding for community anti-drug coalitions? If so, how much of an increase would you support? If not, why not? 2. Have you developed a campaign platform to address illegal drug and underage drinking problems? If yes, please elaborate. If not, why not? 3. If elected, would you allocate additional resources to prevent drug use and underage drinking? If yes, how much of an increase would you support? If not, why not?
Treatment 1. Do you support the availability of drug and alcohol treatment services for all who want them? If not, why not? 2. If elected, will you support increased funding to make drug and alcohol treatment services available to more individuals? Addiction Treatment Parity 1. Do you support addiction treatment parity, which ensures that Americans have access to life saving addiction and mental health treatment by limiting the discriminatory barriers that are currently in place? Funding 1. Do you support increased funding for drug and alcohol prevention programs in all of our nation’s schools and communities to address the problems of illegal drug use and underage drinking? If not, why not? 2. If elected, will community based programs for drug and alcohol prevention and treatment be high priorities for you? Will you support and be a champion for increased funding for these programs? If not, why not? Alcohol and Underage Drinking 1. Do you accept political contributions from the alcohol industry? 2. Do you agree that underage drinking must be addressed through comprehensive approaches that include enforcement, education, prevention, and strategies to address norms regarding adult alcohol use and abuse? 3. Would you support increased funding to combat underage drinking? 4. Do you agree with the 70 percent of Americans who want federal agencies to examine whether alcohol advertising on television increases underage drinking?
9
5. Will you support the adoption and stronger enforcement of laws and regulations to restrict the availability of alcohol to those under 21? Legalization of Drugs 1. What is your position on the legalization of illegal drugs? “Medical” Marijuana 1. Do you agree that the FDA should be the sole authority on whether smoked marijuana has any medicinal value? If not, why not? 2. Where do you stand regarding the use of ballot initiatives to circumvent federal law regarding marijuana use? 3. Do you agree that we, as a country, are sending the wrong message to youth when smoked marijuana is advocated to have ”medicinal” value?
Sample Op-Ed
An op-ed, or column located opposite a newspaper’s editorial section, is one of the best ways to disseminate your message through the media because you have complete control over content. The following are a few items to keep in mind in preparing your op-ed (sample below): Contact the newspaper you are targeting to determine proper protocol for submission; Have one clear message or opinion to convey and stick to it; Tailor the message to your community; Make the piece self-contained by giving readers whatever background they need to get your point within the column; Provide strong evidence in support of your opinion, i.e. statistics, a story, research results, without being too technical or straying off-message; Include an authorship line that gives your name and brief description of what qualifies you as an expert on the subject discussed in the column; and If you get published, distribute a copy of the piece to your membership and use in promotional packets for your coalition. Sample Op-Ed Newsflash! Drug and alcohol problems plague families and communities across the country. Drug and alcohol problems break up families, lead to crime and violence, decrease productivity on the job and rob young people of their futures. To those of us who have seen the devastating impact drugs and alcohol can have, this isn’t news. This newsflash is for the benefit of every candidate for elected office. If you’re campaigning in (name of your area), you need to make dealing with drug and alcohol problems through community-based prevention and treatment a priority. In the city of (name of your city), we have drug and alcohol problems. A bi-annual survey of middle and high school students in the area, conducted by the (your coalition/school), quantifies the problem. We know that (x)% of (x) graders, (x)% of (x) graders and (x)% of (x) graders have used illegal drugs. We know that (x)% of (x) graders have used or abused alcohol. This is a problem that affects everyone in (name of your city).
10
That’s the bad news, but there is good news. The good news is that we have a proven strategy for dealing with drug and alcohol problems in (name of your city) and it is (insert the name of your coalition). The (insert the name of your coalition) has been successful in reducing drug and alcohol use and abuse by implementing a coordinated approach that mobilizes our entire community in dealing with alcohol and drug issues. Our coalition is comprised of parents, teachers, law enforcement officials, business owners, the faith community, health providers, and other concerned citizens who are mobilizing to make our community safer and healthier. We are providing local solutions to the unique drug and alcohol problems faced by our community. We expect our elected leaders to support smart strategies for dealing with drugs and alcohol. This means publicly supporting community anti-drug coalitions, such as the (name of your coalition), school-based prevention programs and drug and alcohol treatment services. It is clear that the only way to effectively prevent and reduce drug use and underage drinking is to get our elected leaders and candidates for elected office to support smart, comprehensive community-based strategies for dealing with drugs and alcohol. Candidates unwilling to publicly state their support for dealing with drug and alcohol problems through comprehensive community based prevention and treatment don’t deserve your vote. The author (your name) is the director (your title) of the (your coalition or agency).
