The Apotheosis of Suffrage. Political Mud-Slinging of Now as Then. Women's Suffrage Centennial
Politics are not for the faint of Heart. Scrolling the Comments on any Social Media Post on any Platform, nobody needs to be told about the vile viciousness we see every day. We can read them for ourselves. And it has likely always been this way. It's not surprising that Unifying behind a set of central ideas & the methodology of how to go about them is difficult even today. When we look at Religious Philosophies of now & then, the dozens of Christian Denominations still thi

Stanton, Anthony & Mott. A Protestant & Two Quakers. Women's Suffrage Centennial
These three Pioneers of the Women's Rights Movement began their career of Political Activism by way of Abolition., a fact that has earned them their spot in American History. Religion & Politics have always been very closely intertwined. In yesterday's piece on the Philosophy-on-the-Unification-of-Politics-Theologies-Election-2020 I didn't clearly articulate that this painting of George Washington is actually located in the Capitol Rotunda to this day. I was more concerned wi

Philosophy on the Unification of Politics & Theologies. Election 2020
Millions of Muslims around the World will be making their Holy Pilgrimage to Mecca today during the Hajj, while Americans of all Religious Faiths begin the Count Down to Election Day 2020 in November this year. The rich diversity of Religions & ideas in American cultures that give flavor to Life should Unify, not divide us. From the time of the Birth of our Nation, the American Motto has been "In God We Trust," but WHO is God??? For the entire three years I've been doing this

Encore Presentation. Free Speech under the 1st Amendment guarantees that the Government cannot stifle Citizen's ability to express themselves, however places no restrictions on individuals, individual artists, musicians or the Entertainment Industry as a whole.

The Remarkable Parallels between Rep John Lewis & Women's Rights Legend Alice Paul
As the Nation remembers the Life time of Service the Gentle Giant of the Civil Rights Movement, Rep. John Lewis, I cannot help but notice the remarkable parallels between his willingness to get into what he called "Good Trouble" to sacrifice his life to service for the Public good & that of Alice Paul. His "Good Trouble" included: Sit-Ins & Marches & Peaceful Protests in acts of Civil Disobedience. For his "Good Trouble" he was beaten, & arrested & almost died for Civil Rig

Past & Present Dispute Resolution from a Sociological Perspective
Voting Rights are as precious today as they were at the birth of our Nation. Putting the bitter battles fought over now & then into a Sociological context helps us understand why it is so important to Vote in every Election, every time & to never sit one out. In the present day, people are still fighting bitter Court battles over Voting By Mail during the Covid19 Crisis. It is the right thing to do to saves lives while people exercise their Right to Vote. Very much like the

The Past, Present & Future of the ERA. Why it Still Matters. The American Experience on PBS
From Women’s Suffrage to the ERA | The Vote | Retro Report | American Experience | PBS I could go down the list of reasons the Equal Rights Amendment still matters, but I think the most glaring example happened just this week on the steps on Congress. When ABC News did the story on House Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez being verbally attacked by a fellow Congressman, they only partially Bleep the offensive Sexist Slur. They Bleeped the "F-Word" but full-on said BITCH!

Anthony (1892) Catt also formed the League of Women Voters which is still active as a Bi-Partisan/Non-Partisan Political Activist Group tod

Broadcast IS My Family History
As long as we are looking to this Nation's History, I decided to add a Permanent Page in recognition of WHY my inspiration for "Yes, I'd Like to Thank the Academy: How to Tame the Red Carpet in YOUR Office" was really born of the fact that Broadcast is my family business. My motivation is not to say say "Hey look at me I'm a Big Shot." No. I can't stand the viciousness on TV these days. Can I tell you I am going BANKRUPT doing this???

Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton & the World Anti-Slavery Convention of 1840. Setting the S
Our Voting Rights are precious & something not to be taken for granted. There was much blood, sweat & tears shed in the the battle for the Vote, beginning with the periods before, during & after the Civil War that was fought over the issue of Slavery. The first Women's Right Convention at Seneca Falls, New York in 1848 was a direct result of Elizabeth Cady Stanton & Lucretia Mott's Gender-Based Discrimination at the World Anti-Slavery Convention in London in 1840. The two Wo
