The Neighborhood Civic PAC is a medium for like-minded Philadelphia residents to carry out public service initiatives..."it's all about the neighborhoods." The Neighborhood Civic PAC is designed to help jumpstart civic associations in various neighborhoods and resurrect ones that were once mighty and help such associations get acclimated to the political process so that they may utilize this to the advantage of the neighborhood and constituency for which they represent.

Clarification

With respect to Chris' comment in the below column, I feel I should clarify myself. I may have fell victim to the "dont believe everything you read syndrome". Yesterday I claimed that Philly for Change and the Neighborhood Networks were one in the same, Chris assured me that they were not. However, when reading yesterday's Public record, I came across this article
http://phillyrecord.com/2005/0804/Pols%20On%20the%20street.html
Some text follows:
"Officially titled "Philly for Change", the group hosted a gathering at the Yards Brewery to get its members to meet with Democratic Candidates for Congress: Lois Murphy, Lois Herr, and Paul Scoles.
The group, also operating under a communications network as "Neighborhood Networks" has affiliated itself with Democracy for America and considers itself to be a volunteer based political organization."

I would like to clarify, I will not issue a retraction until I receive a more definitive answer. But atleast I have clarified my statement.
Cheers
