Human Rights Campaign PAC at hrc.org is Getting People Ready to VOTE for Fair Inclusion in Society

on Tue, 10/09/2018 - 13:59

During the Farmer's Market in Fort Greene Park in Brooklyn NY, I saw a person with a Human Rights Campaign (HRC) tee shirt on and inquired. They are working to get people to vote and donate toward politicians who will work for a fair playing field in our communities, states and country for all people, without discrimination.

I thought most of this was happening, but in the Age of Trump progress to allow people to be who they are, love who they want, work and live as they see as mutually fair and agreeable is dwindling.

Check out www.hrc.org and pitch in toward the efforts to get involved

Time to Stage Interventions With Abusers of All Kinds, even in Theory, Online, With Letters to the Editors and Some Town Wide Mailings...Why Not?

I hope Brian Ohler and other advocates can review the latest about primary aggressor laws and see what Troop B thinks... and will do to implement this new standard in CT. I think there's a gap in info and awareness in the public also.

 There seems to be NO ONE in our area, state or country Intervening or Challenging aggressors or their many complicit parties (families, friends, co-workers, counselors, doctors, ministers, 12-step groups or general public friends etc) Understand Boundaries, Types of Abuse and Common Syndromes.

The Lion Has Awoken and Roared...on the White House Steps..."Kava-NO!" Let's pray it doesn't get worse...

After a busy day learning about NEFF, New England Forestry Foundation (newenglandforestry.org) and sadly hearing of the loss of a wonderful fellow in his 20s in a vehicular accident and sending heartfelt condolences to his family, I visited some folks in a nursing home after doing some shopping at Matrushka in Great Barrington MA, and Tom's Toy's next door. Before I could turn in I wanted to see What Happened with the Kavanaugh vote.

Someone said he was confirmed. I didn't think that could happen on a weekend.

Driving in the Rain, Sleet or Snow is Optional and Worth NOT Doing if Heavy Duty

I happened to read that cars can hydroplane at 35 mph so worth trying to plan to not drive in the rain if possible..take breaks or delay events if a big storm for everyone's safety is possible.
 
A large group of us got poured on at the end of a meeting which was raising funds (and having a nice potluck)..but likely we should have cancelled due to the heavy rains predicted and the road which tends to get a stream running over it.
 
I saw in my Toastmasters magazine that more clubs can meet online...and there's and option to have half the meetings online and half in person.
