  • Memo Is Mostly Based on a National Survey of 1000 Likely 2012 Voters Conducted September 8-12, 2012 by Greenberg Quinlan Rosner for Democracy Corps
    Date: October 15, 2012 To: Friends of Democracy Corps and Greenberg Quinlan Rosner From: Stan Greenberg, James Carville, and Erica Seifert Getting to the bold policy offer winning now requires Report on Democracy Corps national survey on presidential narrative The campaign has reached a tipping point where we believe the president has to offer a bold nar- rative, policies and choice if he is to win re-election and get to a substantial enough victory that enables him to govern and face the great challenges ahead. The first debate really did disrupt the race and presents a painful real-time test of what happens when the president tries to convince people of progress and offer a very modest vision of future change Voters are not looking for continuity but changes that help the average Joe. Up until now, with Romney campaigning solely on Obama’s failures, a focus on America’s mid- dle class was enough. But it is now – and there are enormous opportunities for the President to use this moment. In the first debate, Obama did not make a bold case for the bold policies he would offer in the next four years. In the Vice Presidential debate, Joe Biden thankfully struck blows on Romney's authenticity, duplicity, truthfulness, coziness with the rich and disregard for 1 the middle class, but he gave no hint of Obama's plans for jobs and growth. In debate dial-meters conducted by Democracy Corps for Women’s Voices. Women Vote Action Fund during the debate, Obama lost the attention of independents and unmarried women when he spoke about economic progress or talked about the progress of the last four years.

    AMERICAN CULINARY FEDERATION PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release: Media Contacts: July 9, 2013 Jessica Ward: (904) 484-0213, [email protected] Patricia Carroll: (904) 484-0247, [email protected] Four Chefs Vie for Chef Professionalism Award During the 2013 American Culinary Federation National Convention in Las Vegas St. Augustine, Fla., July 9, 2013—Professionalism is a quality that accompanies leadership and integrity, and this month, the American Culinary Federation (ACF) will recognize one of four chefs from around the U.S. for his outstanding commitment to the culinary profession with the national Dr. L.J. Minor Chef Professionalism Award. The award, sponsored by MINOR’S®, is presented during the 2013 ACF National Convention held at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, Las Vegas, July 21-25. The Dr. L.J. Minor Chef Professionalism Award is presented to a chef who exemplifies the highest standard of professionalism through certification, continuing education and training, culinary competitions and community involvement. It honors culinarians who help elevate the status of chefs and cooks in the U.S. The award was designed to commemorate the efforts of Dr. Lewis J. Minor, AAC; Louis Szathmary, AAC; and Lt. Gen. John D. McLaughlin, AAC. The combined efforts of these three ACF leaders helped achieve a long-sought goal for American chefs: official recognition of ACF executive chefs as professionals, reflected in the U.S. Department of Labor’s Dictionary of Occupational Titles. National award winners from the past five years and a MINOR’S representative evaluate the four regional winners and determine the chef to receive the national award, which is presented at the Chef Professionalism Lunch, July 22.
