Corporate Contributions Are Not Permitted. April Message from Cathy Frederickson, GRW President We have come to the end of the Collusion Delusion so we begin Spring Fresh with Clear Minds! With new candidates entering the race each week, it is more important than ever to discuss the issues after we learn from the experts. To show the difference in the parties a few questions come to mind. How much does the Climate Change Agenda use Fear rather than fact? The New Green Deal is now a platform issue for many of the candidates so we must understand the basis for their positions. Climate change has become a topic that is being used as a scare tactic. If an individual disagrees with a Climate Change activist it is not uncommon for the person to be attacked. A scientist or anyone who would dare request a respectful scientific discussion or who questions the data can expect name calling, bullying and professional pressure. As American taxpayers, we still have the right to ask questions. How much will it cost? How much will it change? Is it a political power grab or truly a scientifically based world- wide concern? Should our grandchildren be taught to be afraid? Let’s challenge those who use it as a platform issue to a debate with Professor Richard Lindzen, from MIT, Bjorn Lomborg of the Copenhagen Consensus or Alex Epstein. Please listen to their lectures on PragerU. We should encourage voters to learn from these resources so our tax dollars will not be wasted. Do you want to elect someone who actually believes in the new Green Deal if the Climate change scare is based on false data derived from the hockey stick report that might have misdirected some trusting politicians? We need facts not shallow talking points or bumper stickers. Americans must ask government officials if they have been spending our money based on true or false science. Now is the time to listen, learn and educate our children. Let’s approach our friends and neighbors with humor and a smile. We can again engage in friendly discussion. It is time to gather around the dinner table to talk about America in a loving open sharing of ideas. We did it when we were growing up and it is time to bring intelligent discussion back to the table in America. We are still free to share the truth and our freedom may depend upon it! Socialism is also another rally call for many of the candidates so we must be able to discuss the pros and cons of that form of government. Please ask the people of Venezuela if Socialism has brought prosperity, peace and a comfortable future for the people of a nation rich in natural resources. If they dare to disagree with their rulers they must escape to other countries for safety. Please listen at PragerU to hear Debbie D’Souza’s explanation of what happened to her beloved country. https://www.prageru.com/playlist/why-socialism-never-works. Socialism works at gunpoint. Capitalism has lifted more people out of Poverty than any other economic system. If you “Hate Poverty, You Should Love Capitalism” by Arthur Brooks, President of the American Enterprise Institute, makes it simple. He says “If you really want to help the poor. Stand up for Capitalism.” We must reach our young Americans with his message. He states that Ignorance is putting Capitalism at risk. The fact is More Capitalism more growth. There are Moral benefits to Free Enterprise because we earn our own success bringing the pursuit of happiness to life. It is a myth that Free enterprise hurts the poor. It is the root of defining lives and goals that is the moral promise of free enterprise There has never been a force for helping the poor that has come even close to Free enterprise. Earned success stimulates people to create value in their live. Before we fund a college education for all of our children please provide them with an understanding of the quality of Capitalism. The Constitution and the Bill of Rights provide the framework for the success of Capitalism. These treasured foundations of freedom will be distributed by the Galveston Republican Women to high school students in our community. Nick Adams, our Anniversary Dinner speaker will be inspiring students at Upward Hope Academy with these important documents before joining us for a delightful celebration of Freedom on May 15th. Make your reservations today. PLEASE be sure to join us! God bless America! Let’s share our knowledge of the Amendments - The Bill of Rights (Ratified December 15, 1791) Fifteenth Amendment – (Ratified February 3, 1870) The right to vote will not be denied on the basis of race, color , or previous status of being a slave. Nineteenth Amendment (Ratified August 18, 1920) Women have the right to vote. Please plan to join us for the Juneteenth Celebration at Ashton Villa.

  • The Getty Conservation Institute Field Trip Report APT Conference, Galveston, TX What Is APT? J.M. Teutonico Receives the Harley
    The Getty Conservation Institute Field Trip Report By F. LeBlanc, Head, Field Projects APT Conference, Galveston, TX Nov. 3-7, 2004 What is APT? The flag of Texas The Association for Preservation Technology International (APT) is the premier cross-disciplinary organization dedicated to promoting the best technology for conserving historic structures and their settings. With 1500 members in 28 countries, APT connects a network of architects, conservators, trades people, consultants, planners, curators, landscape architects, engineers, developers, educators, engineers, historians, apprentices and students. J.M. Teutonico receives the Harley J. McKee Award APT Conference brochure with an illustration of the construction of the sea wall built after the Great Storm of 1900 APT President Natalie Bull handing the Harley J. McKee Award to Jeanne Marie Teutonico The Harley J. McKee Award is the highest honor bestowed by the Association for Preservation Technology International to recognize outstanding contributions to the field of preservation technology over Hotel Galvez built in time. Harley James McKee, FAIA (1905-1976) was a preservationist, 1911, venue of the APT architect, author, and professor, and a participant in the second APT 2004 Conference meeting held at Upper Canada Village in 1968. His thirty-year teaching career benefited several generations of students at five 1 universities, concluding with a twenty-year tenure at Syracuse University. APT President Natalie Bull said: “This year’s recipient of the Harley J. McKee Award was genetically hard-wired for a distinguished career in research and education, having been born to a materials researcher and a teacher. Influenced by peripatetic early studies that touched on mathematics, music, art history and literature, this individual became committed to the field of architectural preservation after a stint of European travel and a course on Renaissance architecture with Princeton Professor David Coffin.
