FROM THE CO-PRESIDENTS Recently, I was at a meeting during which Becky Shannon, one of our members and also a LWVMA State Board member, said something off the cuff that was so spot on that I asked her to write up what she said so it could be this month’s President’s Message. From Becky: “Often, we tend to start caring about the community we live in when we begin our families. We grow up, settle down and become invested. All of a sudden our neighborhoods matter to us. We want good schools. We notice our parks and playgrounds. We expect roads to be plowed and services to be effectively carried out by the DPW, the Water Department, the Fire Department, the Police Department and all the other town departments that make up town government. We want our property taxes to be stable and not be misspent. We want our mayors and council members, select board members, school committees and other governmental bodies to be respectful, diligent and thoughtful. Most often we also don’t want to think much about all this. We just want our public services to work. But someone has to mind the store. “Since 1920, the LWV has been a guardian of the The Warrant Review, to acquaint public interest in local communities. Active Leagues Town Meeting members with the help inform their communities and allow democracy articles that will come before Town to work in the public sphere. Meeting, will be held April 8 at “Our communities need the LWV. When citizens are 7 p.m. in the Town Room. As a informed and engaged, towns tend to do well. When separate activity, we also review the no one cares, or has no time to care, it shows. League warrant articles for possible League members always care.” support. Please contact Martha Hanner ([email protected]) if It is important work that we do on the local level and you are interested in helping to nobody does it quite like the LWV. Thank you, review the articles. Becky, for putting this in words so that we can all reflect on it. Cynthia Brubaker Membership Report This month, we welcome 3 new members to the Amherst LWV: Helen Berg (508) 310-3185 [email protected] Judy H.

It involves every member of our Amherst League! This is the idea: Sometime during this anniversary year, we would like each of you to do something for the League that you had not planned to do. It doesn’t have to be anything major—just something that is related to the League. An “extra” something. For example, you might make up your mind that this is the year that you will help register voters, or encourage your neighbor to join the League. You don’t have to tell anyone about what you intend to do unless you want to. No one will “check up” on you. It’s all up to you. Below is a list of suggestions from the Board for things you might do. You can choose one of them or something entirely different. The point is that through One for the League, each of us will be doing something extra for the League, perhaps even something quite special, in honor of our 75th anniversary! One for the League Suggestions • Talk to a friend, relative, or young person about the League • Encourage a friend, relative, or young person to join the League • Come to a League meeting, activity or other event • Bring a friend to a League meeting, activity or other event • Volunteer to work on the Book Sale • Read the LWVA web site, or Face Book Page • Respond to an Action Alert • Read the League’s Bulletin • Write to the Bulletin editor about an article • Send comments and suggestions about what is and isn’t going on to the co-Presidents or other LWVA leaders—we will respond! • Join a Committee or Interest Group • Volunteer for the Board • Register voters at naturalization ceremonies on July 4th • Make an anniversary donation to the League (see p. 9) • Remember the League in your will Kathy Vorwerk Interested in participating in the LWVUS Agriculture Consensus? If you would like to participate, please consider going to the consensus meeting at the Florence Civic Center at 90 Park Street in downtown Florence on Tuesday, April 8 at 7 PM. The Northampton Area LWV will be conducting the meeting. There is plenty of parking and the building is handicapped accessible. Materials to read beforehand are on the LWVUS web site.

But she will be visiting the stage of the Red Barn of Hampshire College on April 3, 2014, in the form of Barbara Bates Smith, an actress who was mesmerized by Granny D and her story and brings her version of it to audiences across the country. Many in these audiences are League of Women Voters members, since Granny’s main cause continues to be important to the League---and Doris Haddock was herself a 50-year member of the League. Doris Haddock had several connections with Amherst during her lifetime: her husband was an Amherst college student when they met, fell in love and married in 1929; in 2005, Doris Haddock gave the Commencement address at Hampshire College, when, I have heard, her granddaughter graduated. For those of you intending to attend Barbara Bates Smith’s presentation, or for those of you who’d like to know more about who Granny Smith was, I’ve summarized what I’ve learned about her on line. Edna Doris Rollins was born on Jan. 24, 1910, in Laconia, N.H. She was a student at Emerson College in Boston from 1927 until 1929, when the college expelled her because of her marriage. (Emerson gave her an honorary degree in 2000.) Doris and her new husband, James Haddock, moved to Manchester, N.H. There James was an electrical engineer, while Doris raised two children. In 1952, Doris went to work at BeeBee Shoe Co, where she ultimately became the assistant to the general manager. Doris’ political activism apparently began in 1960, when the Haddocks drove to Alaska to help the (ultimately successful) campaign against planned nuclear bomb testing near an Inuit village. In Dublin, to which the Haddocks retired in 1972, Doris was active in local affairs and served on the Planning Board. In 1985, Doris helped the successful fight against plans to build a highway through Dublin. In 1983, however, her husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, and in the ten years before his death in 1993, Doris focused on caring for Jim. In 1995, Doris Haddock became interested in campaign finance reform. After a petition movement she had led got nowhere, Doris decided to try a more dramatic way to stimulate interest and gain support for this reform. On January 1, 1999, I believe on her 70th wedding anniversary, and only a few weeks before her 89th birthday, Doris left Pasadena on her walk across the U.S. She walked about ten miles each day, eating when she was offered food and sleeping where she was offered a room.

THE WALKING JUDGE FROM ALABAMA The Honorable Pamela Willis Baschab* Unless you have been there, the humidity and heat in South Ala- bama are unimaginable. Even during the last days of May, the sun bears down and the heat rises from the asphalt in undulating waves. Anyone who would walk along the highway at noon on the outskirts of Mobile would have to have a very good reason. And I did. Last year I trudged along Highway 31, carrying a walking stick with a sign, an American flag, and an Alabama flag. I was drenched in sweat and sunburned. Exhausted but elated to be nearing the end of my long journey. Two months previously on a cold and rainy day in March, I had stood on the Alabama-Tennes- see state line preparing for the first steps of a 411 mile walk from one end of my state to the other.

Vol. 10, Iss. 6; pg. 14, 4 pgs Abstract (Summary) Political activist Doris Haddock is profiled. Haddock, a 90-year-old great-grandmother from New Hampshire, is on a cross-country walk to raise awareness of the need for campaign finance reform. She is motivated by both anger and a sense of adventure. Full Text (1733 words) Copyright Liberty Media for Women Oct/Nov 2000 Enlarge 200% Enlarge 400% [Photograph] JUST ONE MONTH AND 250 MILES INTO DORIS Haddock's cross-country walk for campaign finance reform, the blinding sandstorms of California's Mojave Desert nearly took her breath away-permanently. "I never dreamed there was that kind of wind," marvels Haddock, a 90-year-old great-grandmother from New Hampshire with a finely crinkled face, Yankee accent, and bright hazel eyes. "In the desert, when the wind blew, the sand came upon you like little pellets against your face. And I'd remember that song: `Drifting Along with the Tumbleweed. "' In February of 1999, shortly after emerging from the Mojave, Haddock awoke in an Arizona hospital, diagnosed with severe dehydration. But Haddock, aka Granny D., was not about to be sidelined. When a supporter called to check on her, a nurse discovered Haddock's bed was empty. "Doris isn't here," the nurse reported after a quick search. "She's walking the halls so her legs won't get out of shape." Friends offered to carry on for Haddock if she wanted to bail. "No way," she vowed.

  • Granny D" Haddock Speaks at the U.S
    Doris "Granny D" Haddock speaks at the U.S. Capitol Steps Ms. Haddock’s arrival remarks, delivered on the East Steps of the U.S. Capitol to the 2,300 people who walked the final miles with her; Tuesday, February 29, 2000, after welcoming remarks by many Members of Congress and reform leaders: Thank you. Before the days of the Civil Rights Movement, a senator might have said that the millions of oppressed people were happy in their condition. But now, after so much history, after so much painful growth, we see the insensitivity and ignorance of such a statement. How did anyone dare think that the oppressed and abused were happy in their condition? Before the rise of the Environmental Movement, a senator might have looked upon a polluted Hudson River and said that the old river is simply paying the inevitable price for progress. But now, after so much sickness endured, so much new understanding gained of our fragile network of life, and after so much effort by so many, we see the insensitivity and ignorance of such a statement. How did anyone dare think that our beautiful land stretches itself out for companies to ravage for their profit and our misery? Before the Campaign Finance Reform Movement, which grows every day now with such power that it shakes the political parties to their foundations, a senator might have advised his fellow member to not worry about voting down campaign reforms, because the people don't care. That is, in fact, what Senators McConnell and Lott did say—and that is what precipitated my walk.

    PATTERNS OF FAILURE: RETHINKING CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM - WHAT WENT WRONG? By ROGER Q. AUSTIN III A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2015 © 2015 Roger Q. Austin III To my parents Roger and Sally Austin ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am very grateful to everyone whose assistance has made the completion of this dissertation possible. It would not have been possible without the help and support of my parents, family, friends, colleagues and mentors. I especially want to thank the dedicated members of my dissertation committee who hung in there with me through thick and thin: Chairman Daniel A. Smith, Co-Chair Lawrence C. Dodd, Beth Rosenson, Richard Scher and David Colburn. I feel honored to have had such a distinguished committee – your counsel and advice was needed as much as it was appreciated. I would also like to thank everyone in the Political Science Department – you have all been very supportive over the years while I have meandered through this process while trying to also earn a living – your patience and encouragement are much appreciated. At the risk of omitting anyone, special thanks go to Dr. Steve Craig, Sue Lawless- Yanchisin, Pat Root and Debbie Wallen. Finally, and once again, at the risk of omitting someone, I would like to thank my friends, far too many to name individually, but you know who you are. Special thanks goes to my close friends and confidants and who never stopped encouraging me to finish this damn thing – Ryan Garcia, Kevin Kuchenbaur, Liz Stinson, Will Foster, Barry Edwards, my editor-in-chief Kyle Fitzpatrick and last but certainly not least, my biggest cheerleader, Phyllis Batchelder.
