I very much hope that I will see many of you there. I am quite pleased at the number of fine exhibits of U.S. Classics that will be on show. Of special note is the Friday Dutch Treat event which includes a private tour (after regular hours) of the Na- tional Postal Museum in downtown Washinglon, DC. We are able to arrange this because our Vice President, Wilson Hulme is the Curator of Philately at the NPM. This involved costs (transportation and museum security) not normally associated with our social events; I want to offer many thanks to three of our dealer members: Har- vey Bennett, Charles Shreve and Scott Trepel who each have made generous donations to cover much ofthese extra expenses! If you plan on coming to the Annual Meeting, and I hope you are - please make your hotel reservations promptly and also your reservations for the Friday dinner. Ifyou are an internet surfer, I hope that you have watched the steady progress ofour Society website - the ap- pearance is more professional and the information is extremely current thanks to our webmaster, Charles Di Como and Board member Wade Saadi who has lent some technical expertise to the project. Charles has placed an update "date" on the home page which will let you know the last time the site has changed. We got an excel- lent review in the April 2003 American Philatelisl column, "The Glassine Surfer" (page 310). On a different note - I have not had any response to my appeal in the last issue of the Chatter for a volunteer for Society Publications Sales (Back Issues) job. This is an extremely important position. If you have some inter- est in the job, but doubt you have space, it might be possible for the Society to cover the cost of renting storage. Please contact me if you might consider undertaking this task. (P.O. Box 99, Lisbon, lvD 21765 or walke96@attelobal. neO Yours in philately, Pat Walker THE be appreciatd too.

The land had been inhabited by Native Americans for several thousand years. The Algonquian, Iroquoian, Siouan all resided along the Central Atlantic coast. After the discovery of the New World, England, the Dutch Republic, France, Portugal, and Spain all attempted to establish New World colonies. A Spanish exploration party had come to the lower Chesapeake Bay region of Virginia about 1560 and met the Native Americans living on the Virginia Peninsula.

  • Cannabis Prohibition and Substantive Due Process
    RE-THINKING LIBERTY: CANNABIS PROHIBITION AND SUBSTANTIVE DUE PROCESS By Matthew J Routh* I. INTRODUCTION What is Liberty? The venerated word appears in the famous Declaration of Independence as an inalienable right.' Likewise, liberty appears in the langua e of the 14'h Amendment to the Constitution, which was ratified on July 9 , 1868 and forbids states from denying any person "life, liberty or property, without due process of law." 2 However, the Constitution never explicitly defines the word. John Stuart Mill, the influential 19 h century British philosopher, economist, and feminist conceives of liberty in his political essay On Liberty as essentially rooted in personal autonomy, balanced against the government's interest of protecting society at large: That the only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised * Matthew is a 2016 graduate of CUNY School of Law. While attending CUNY, Matthew participated in an interdisciplinary array of experiences spanning family, youth, LGBT+, HIV/AIDS, criminal, civil, housing, immigration, and public assistance legal issues. Moreover, Matthew participated in CUNY's Family Law Practice Clinic, where he assisted parents in child welfare cases and also participated in a summer legal fellowship at Yale Law School representing children. Currently, Matthew is awaiting admission to become a licensed attorney in New York and working as a law clerk at Anderson, Bowman & Zalewski PLLC in Kew Gardens, Queens. Lastly, Matthew would like to thank the faculty and staff of CUNY Law as well as his colleagues and family for all of their support. 1. THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE para. 2 (U.S. 1776) ("We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.").

The Arizona Adven- ture, Learning Through Postage Stamps, software, from The Postal History Foundation and an article from Arizona Highways, A Philatelist’s View of Arizona, formed the foundation of this collection. Some other places where information came from are also listed as well as many of the internet sites used. I merely gathered all the information I could on the subject, put them in an order I could understand and designed the presentation pages. Not everything in this history is a postage stamp, there is some information from other sources. The Postal History Foundation The Arizona Adventure, Learning through Postage stamps.

    Articles Pray for Peace but Fight Your Insect Enemies: U.S. Postal Messaging and Cold War Propaganda Laura Goldblatt and Richard Handler Abstract In this essay, we examine “slogan cancels”—postal messages used to deface or “kill” a stamp—produced and disseminated on U.S. mail during the early Cold War. Slogan cancels, like postage stamps, afford spaces the state, through its postal service, can use to send messages to a mass public. While stamps cele- brate national identity, slogans instruct citizens how to behave. In the Cold War, such instructions often concerned impending disasters and the ultimate threat of nuclear annihilation. Since the juxtaposition of slogans and stamps occurs ran- domly, it is not surprising that among the artifacts emergent from the process— the envelopes arriving in the mail—can be found some in which the slogan’s mes- sage is not consonant with, and even contradicts, that of the stamp. Despite the Post Office’s functional efficiency, the artifacts delivered by the system emerge bearing messages that are in some respects random. This mechanically produced randomness is a literal embodiment of the ideological content of the slogans (“Pray for Peace”), which testify to an apparently powerful state’s concerns about its own lack of agency in a dangerous world.
