  • Politicians and Their Professors the Discrepancy Between Climate Science and Climate Policy
    Better Future Project 30 Bow Street Cambridge, MA. 02138 Politicians and Their Professors The Discrepancy between Climate Science and Climate Policy By Craig S. Altemose and Hayley Browdy Massachusetts Edition Better Future Project 1 Politicians and Their Professors: The Discrepancy between Climate Science and Climate Policy By Craig Altemose and Hayley Browdy With research and editing assistance provided by Elana Sulakshana, Alli Welton, and Kristen Wraith © 2012, Better Future Project 30 Bow Street, Cambridge, MA 02138 About This Report This report seeks to highlight the discrepancy between the overwhelming consensus on climate change that exists among the nation’s scientific community and the lack of action by federal leaders. Past studies have shown that 97-98% of climate scientists who publish in peer-reviewed journals agree with the consensus that climate change is real, happening now, and man-made. Since many politicians seem to disregard the views of such scientific “elites” as a whole, we decided to compare politicians’ views on climate change to those of the climate experts at their alma maters. These politicians clearly valued the expertise of the academics at their schools enough that they chose to (usually) spend tens of thousands of dollars and up to four years of their lives absorbing knowledge from these institutions’ experts. We thought that even if these politicians choose to disregard the consensus of national experts, they might be persuaded by the consensus of the higher education institutions in which they trusted enough to invest great amounts of their time and money. This report and the research supporting it are available online at www.betterfutureproject.org/resources.

  • The-Counter Hearing Aid
    By Lise Hamlin The Hearing Loss Association of America has embarked on a campaign to support new legislation that, if passed, will change the face of hearing health care in America. And you can be part of it. On March 21, U.S. Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.), and Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.), reintroduced legislation (Senate bill S. 670) to make hearing aids for those with mild to moderate hearing loss available over the counter (OTC). Senators Warren and Grassley first introduced the bill last December and have now reintroduced it for 2017. A companion bill (H.R. 1652), led by Representatives Joe Kennedy III (D-Mass.) and Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), was also introduced in the House. Co-sponsors of the House bill (at press time) include Representatives Don Bacon (R-Neb.), Earl “Buddy” Carter (R-Ga.), Eleanor Holmes-Norton (D-DC), James P. McGovern (D-Mass.), and Niki Tsongas (D-Mass.). The Over-the-Counter Hearing Aid Act of 2017 would require the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to create a new category of over-the-counter hearing aids and remove unnecessary barriers to getting hearing aids. We need your help in support-ing Senators Warren and Grassley to get this groundbreaking piece of legislation passed! If the “Warren-Grassley bill” is enacted, the immediate benefit will of course © Cindy Dyer Cindy © be for those whom these new devices are intended—people with mild to moderate hearing loss who might otherwise be unable to purchase that first hearing aid because it’s too expensive or because the process is so confusing.

    RFK really changed my life. They made me feel safe and helped me get back home with my family. ANNUAL REPORT 2009 ROBERT F. KENNEDY CHILDREN’S ACTION CORPS ROBERT F. KENNEDY CHILDREN’S ACTION CORPS Senator Edward M. Kennedy In 2009, we mourned together over the loss of Senator Edward M. Kennedy, one of the most passionate and articulate advocates for children, health and social justice. At our 2006 Embracing the Legacy event, he quoted from the words of Nobel Laureate Gabriela Mistral, telling us, “We are guilty of many errors and many faults, but our worst crime is abandoning the children, neglecting the fountain of life. Many of the things we need can wait. The child cannot. To him we cannot answer “Tomorrow.” His name is “Today.” “There has been no more faithful champion of the poor, of working families, of all those who depend on essential government services and the positive role that the government can and should play, than Senator Edward Kennedy.” ~ Ed McElroy, American Federation of Teachers Convention, Boston July 21, 2006 “For all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dream shall never die.” “There is a new wave of change all around us, and if we set our President Obama has described his compass true, we will reach our breathtaking span of accomplishment: destination” “For five decades, virtually every major piece of legislation to advance the civil rights, health, and economic well being of the American people bore his name and resulted from his efforts.” “He has proven himself, time and again, to be a fighter for children and educators,” said Reg Weaver, the immediate past President of the National Education Association.

  • FINAL THURSAY John Lewis BLM Letter to Bass 7 30
    AN IRISH AMERICAN RESPONSE TO THE DEATH OF CONG. JOHN LEWIS & THE RISE OF THE BLM MOVEMENT July 29, 2020 Honorable Karen Bass Chairwoman, Congressional Black Caucus U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C., 20515 Dear Cong. Bass, As Irish Americans we wish to express our condolences and deep sorrow on the passing of Cong. John Lewis who many of us were fortunate to know and all of us greatly admired. John Lewis was first a foot soldier in the civil rights movement as Chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), then its heroic champion and conscience of the Congress. We also write to tell you that we fully support those peacefully protesting in support of the Black Lives Matter movement for racial justice. John Lewis is well remembered by our Irish American community for his staunch support for the civil rights movement in Northern Ireland in the 1960s and all through the Troubles. The Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association, which was formed in 1967, took direct inspiration from the American civil rights movement, particularly its commitment to non-violence. Over the course of several years, this unique effort in non-violent protest was met with fierce and violent resistance culminating in Bloody Sunday in Derry in 1972. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a special hero of John Hume, the leader of the Irish civil rights movement and like Dr. King, a winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. A photograph of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. hangs on the wall of his Irish home in a place of honor right next to the photograph of President John F.
