Barbara Comstock has failed us... CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE JENNIFER WEXTON.

Barbara Comstock has failed us. She has failed us by remaining silent and not standing up for us when it matters most. Gabby Giffords got it right (watch her new ad here) when she said that what makes America great is that we recognize that no problem is to big to solve. Barbara Comstock has taken thousands from the NRA, this weekend we can get us one step closer to taking back Congress by knocking thousands of doors for Jennifer Wexton!

See below for all the opportunities to help us #TakeItBack and show Barbara Comstock that #ChangeIsComing to #VA10

THE WORLD OF CRYPTOZOOLOGY. PT 1.

They would be hard to miss, especially on the Large Cable Networks.  T.V. Shows based on the Search for Earths most Legendary and Elusive Creatures.

It could be BIGFOOT, YETI, LOCH NESS MONSTER, MOKELE-

MBEMBE, or dozens of others.

They can be found on virtually every Continent, and in all the Seven Seas. 

It could be the Desert, Jungle, Forest, Mountains etc., no Habitat is lacking their presence.

Stories about their Existence, Manner of Living, and Cultural Influence are found in the History of many different Populations and Societies.  They are part of Religious Belief Systems, and are often claimed to have "Supernatural" and "God Like" Powers.

Many famous people have believed in, and searched for, Physical Evidence of their existence. Time and Money were often considered to be Unimportant, it was a labor of love. Lack of success, never seemed to discourage many searchers. Expeditions were mounted and carried out, regardless of past results.

Yet, CRYPTOZOOLOGY, (The study of such Creatures), is considered to be Pseudoscience.  The Academic World dismisses this subject, and considers it to be Irrelevant when discussing Nature, and the Animals that are part of it.

Why is this?  Because Cryptozoologists make the same mistakes that are found in other Fringe and Unverified Theories.

The APA’s Department Advocacy Toolkit is now available.

Dear DAVID, The American Philosophical Association is pleased to announce that our Department Advocacy Toolkit is now available. The toolkit was prepared by the committee on the status and future of the profession, under the leadership of chair Sally Scholz, in response to increasing cuts to humanities programs nationwide—philosophy programs in particular. Motivated by our belief in the value of philosophy, the Department Advocacy Toolkit is intended to provide strategies that may be useful to programs that are at risk, programs hoping to insulate themselves against future risk, and programs aiming to strengthen and/or expand. The ideas contained in the toolkit have been selected from across different types of institutions and departments. It is up to the faculty members within a department to decide which ideas will be most effective at their institution and in their department. Download the Department Advocacy Toolkit We've also created fliers to go along with the toolkit to help departments with outreach to prospective students and other members of their campus communities. These fliers can also be found at the above link. We hope you will find the Department Advocacy Toolkit to be a helpful resource and encourage you to share it with your colleagues. All the best, Amy E. Ferrer Executive Director

WOMENS EQUALITY DAY. CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE MAURA SULLIVAN.

Happy Women’s Equality Day! Today marks the 98th anniversary of the adoption of the 19th amendment in 1920, which granted women the right to vote. We've made so much progress since then -- but there are still many obstacles between our nation and true equality. One big step we can take in the fight for women's equality? Making sure Congress actually reflects the population it represents. Currently, 81% of Congress is men -- only 19% are women. It's time to change that. Help get women elected this cycle so we can see true progress. Maura will fight for a woman’s right to choose, equal pay for equal work, and - just as she did in the Pentagon - paid family leave.  With record numbers of women running, 2018 is the year of the woman, just as 1920 was nearly a century ago. Let’s make our own history this year. Thank you, Team Maura
