Volunteer to comment or chair at the 2019 Pacific Division meeting.

Dear DAVID, The APA Pacific Division invites volunteers to chair sessions or comment on papers at its annual meeting. Volunteering is a significant route onto the program and we endeavor to find spots for those who wish to attend the meeting. The 2019 meeting will be held April 17–20 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, at the Westin Bayshore. Submitting a paper is no obstacle to volunteering: if your paper is accepted, you are released from any chairing or commenting obligations. To volunteer, please complete a volunteer form. You’ll be asked to supply your name, affiliation, email address, and areas of interest. If you’ve volunteered in the past, please be sure to select the “renewals” option. Please note that all program participants, including presenters, chairs, and commentators, must register for the meeting. The program for the Pacific meeting will be finalized by October 14. If your offer to volunteer has not been adopted by the program committee by that time, we thank you and hope that you will volunteer again in future years. Thank you, Becko Copenhaver Pacific Division Secretary-Treasurer

WHAT PROGRESSIVES MUST LEARN: EDUCATE YOURSELF, PAY ATTENTION. AND SCRUTINIZE ALL ELECTION RESULTS.

So what should Progressives, Liberals , and other Groups that believe Government has a Moral Responsibility to Aid those in need, do to Change the Opinions of those who Vote Against them?

#1-  Acknowledge that the Selfish, Self-Centered, and Dishonest also Vote, so Quit trying to Win over everyone through Fear of Confrontation.

#2-  Stop Allowing Republicans and Ultra Right Wing Candidates to Hijack the Moral High Ground, when its Media Campaign is Transparent, and Easily Refuted.   

#3-  By the Almost Incredible Inability to Stand Up to the Outright Lies and Misrepresentations that
are thrown around come Election Time, regarding Programs that Help the Poor and Disadvantaged.

#4-  When Statistics are Trotted Out about possible Fraudulent Activities in Social Programs, Research and Demand the Sources for such Claims, and Contrast Them with them with  Public Funds Lost Through; 

-  Corporate Bailouts. 

-  Tax Breaks that benefit Corporations, or Single Wealthy
Americans, with the Average Taxpayer footing the Bill, and
receiving no Tangible Benefit.

-  Funds Acquired Through Government Contracts,

that are Shifted to Foreign Markets with no Positive

Affects on the U.S. Economy.

-  Refusing to Raise Wages to a Minimal Level, which

Encourages Self- Sufficiency, and Decreases the 

Need for Government Aid.

... Other Policies that Push an Agenda that

Benefits a Narrow Set of American Citizens.  

#5-  Point Out to Voters, who have Benefited from 

Programs Instituted by the Progressive Agenda, that

what has been Won by Voting, can be Lost or Unfunded

by Not Voting.

MOST IMPORTANT:

MAKE SURE THAT ELECTIONS, AT ANY LEVEL, ARE SCRUTINIZED CAREFULLY FOR FRAUD. DO NOT TAKE THE RESULTS AT FACE VALUE, BECAUSE EVEN THE LOSERS AT THE POLLS MAY NOT HAVE THE FORTITUDE OR INCLINATION TO CHALLENGE  OUTCOMES THAT ARE FIXED. THAT IS WHAT THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION HAS TAUGHT US.

WHAT IS STRIKE 3 GOING TO BE?

- YOU HANDED THE REPUBLICANS THE SUPREME COURT WITHOUT A FIGHT.

- YOU HANDED THE REPUBLICANS THE WHITE 
HOUSE WITHOUT A FIGHT.

- ?

These Points will be covered Individually in Future Posts.

Celebrating Pride Month. CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE MAURA SULLIVAN.

Our team and Granite Staters across New Hampshire celebrated Pride on Saturday here in Portsmouth. The streets were filled with people celebrating our incredible LGBTQ+ community. It was an afternoon filled with music, dancing, festivities, joy, and hope.

I was proud to work on transgender inclusion policies when I served at the Pentagon in the Obama Administration, guaranteeing that any American had the right to serve if they could meet the military’s standards, regardless of their gender identity, sexual orientation, or who they love.

I’m proud that New Hampshire has led the way on LGBTQ+ rights, including our most recent victory in banning discrimination based on gender identity.

June is a month of celebration, but also a time to recognize how far we still have to go.

This Pride Month, let’s celebrate all of the progress we’ve made in fighting discrimination and commit to holding our country to a higher standard.

I will always fight for LGBTQ+ Granite Staters. 

Happy Pride Month!

Maura Sullivan
