Virginia Capitol Foundation 5-Year Report 2237_Report:Layout 1 12/15/09 11:20 AM Page 2 VIRGINIA CAPITOL FOUNDATION 5-YEAR REPORT FROM THE CHAIRMAN If these walls could talk, the stories they would tell. I think about that each time I visit Virginia’s Capitol, walking the same halls as Thomas Jefferson, Robert E. Lee, Abraham Lincoln and many other distinguished men and women. Designed by Mr. Jefferson and opened in 1788, the Capitol was the first government building designed specifically for our new democracy. It is home to the Virginia General Assembly, the oldest, English-speaking legislature in the New World, and it served as the Capitol of the Confederacy during the Civil War. The history and architecture of this 221-year-old building are spectacular, and I am honored to be part of the Virginia Capitol Foundation’s efforts “Whenever the people to enhance and preserve this historic Capitol, as well as Capitol Square and the are well informed, they Executive Mansion. can be trusted with their own government.” Since the Virginia Capitol Foundation was created five years ago, we have supported the restoration and expansion of the Capitol with the restoration of the Capitol’s – Thomas Jefferson to Richard original 18th Century woodwork and Capitol Square’s distinctive cast iron fence, Price, Paris, January 8, 1789 and we have begun pre-production work on a film that will be shown to more than 120,000 Capitol visitors each year. Following our merger with the Executive Mansion Foundation, we partnered with First Lady Anne Holton to raise funds for art restoration and acquisition in the Executive Mansion, thereby maximizing our ability to reach out to donors with one voice for all of the historic treasures on Capitol Square. The Capitol belongs to every citizen of Virginia, and the Virginia Capitol Foundation is poised to help preserve and share this most valuable asset. Thank you for your continued support as we work to enhance these treasures for future generations. S. Buford Scott Chairman MISSION The Virginia Capitol Foundation is the non-profit advocate for the Capitol and Executive Mansion, enhancing the educational, cultural and economic potential of Capitol Square’s historic treasures through program development, fundraising and marketing. 2237_Report:Layout 1 12/15/09 11:20 AM Page 3 VIRGINIA CAPITOL FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOUNDATION TRUSTEES It is an exciting time for the Commonwealth and the Virginia Capitol Foundation.

Johnson the Mansion, Library of Virginia, Capitol Guides, Virginia House of Delegates Stanley K. Joynes, III, Esq. and Senate, and Department of General Services to fund and oversee projects Joseph W. Montgomery related to our mission. Through these partnerships, we are able to leverage other resources and maintain a leaner Foundation staff, thus channeling The Honorable Susan Clarke Schaar more of your donations into our work. Your annual gifts allow us to fund Charles H. Seilheimer, Jr. programs and projects as well as seek additional funding from outside John Sherman, Jr. organizations and foundations. Wendy Church Sydnor There are many ways to support our mission, from funding our educational FORMER TRUSTEES programs and art acquisitions to helping refurbish our buildings and Richard A. “Ric” Arenstein grounds. We continue to seek funds for our new film Keepers of the Flame, an original statue of Thomas Jefferson for our visitor entrance, implementation The Honorable Donald S. Beyer, Jr. of the Landscape Master Plan, and other future projects. The Honorable Sandra D. Bowen L.D. Britt, M.D. Thank you for your continued support in helping us preserve and share Alfred J.T.

  • To Support Virginians in Their Ability to Make Their Own Reproductive Healthcare Decisions and Have Real Access to Comprehensive Reproductive Healthcare
    Statement of Intent To support Virginians in their ability to make their own reproductive healthcare decisions and have real access to comprehensive reproductive healthcare. Reproductive rights are under attack across the country and existentially threatened by the current federal Admin- istration. Virginia legislators have an obligation to both protect and expand reproductive rights in the Common- wealth and to be the bulwark against encroachments on these rights from wherever they may come. As a representative of the people of Virginia, duly elected to govern on behalf of all Virginians, I promise that I will fight to: • Defend a person's right to make personal, private reproductive health decisions, including whether to choose or refuse contraception, carry a pregnancy to term or have an abortion. • Protect and improve affordable access to the full range of contraceptive services and options for all Virginians, including emergency contraception. • Protect reproductive health through scientifically and medically accurate, age-appropriate, effective sexuality education and access to family planning and birth control. • Protect a person’s ability to have healthy pregnancies and births, including her right to parent her children or to choose adoption. • Address inequities in reproductive health care access, particularly those that disproportionately affect low- income people and people of color. • Defend a person’s right to access reproductive health care free from intimidation, threats, coercion, or vio- lence. • Support a Constitutional Amendment to the Virginia Constitution enshrining the human right to bodily autono- my and reproductive choice.

E.NEW YORK .Lie LIBRARY rs526390 Copyright 1901 by Edgar Woods. • -• THE MicHiE Company, Printers, Charlottesville, Va. 1901. PREFACE. An examination of the records of the county for some in- formation, awakened curiosity in regard to its early settle- ment, and gradually led to a more extensive search. The fruits of this labor, it was thought, might be worthy of notice, and productive of pleasure, on a wider scale. There is a strong desire in most men to know who were their forefathers, whence they came, where they lived, and how they were occupied during their earthly sojourn. This desire is natural, apart from the requirements of business, or the promptings of vanity. The same inquisitiveness is felt in regard to places. Who first entered the farms that checker the surrounding landscape, cut down the forests that once covered it, and built the habitations scattered over its bosom? With the young, who are absorbed in the engagements of the present and the hopes of the future, this feeling may not act with much energy ; but as they advance in life, their thoughts turn back with growing persistency to the past, and they begin to start questions which perhaps there is no means of answering.

  • Fond Du Lac Treaty Portraits: 1826
    Fond du Lac Treaty Portraits: 1826 RICHARD E. NELSON Duluth, Minnesota The story of the Fond du Lac Treaty portraits began on the St. Louis River at a site near the present city of Duluth with these words: Whereas a treaty between the United States of America and the Chippeway tribe of Indians, was made and concluded on the fifth day of August, one thousand eight hundred and twenty-six, at the Fond du Lac of Lake Superior, in the territory of Michigan, by Commissioners on the part of the United States, and certain Chiefs and Warriors of the said tribe . (McKenney 1959:479) The location was memorialized by a monument erected by the Daughters of the American Revolution, Duluth, Minnesota, on November 21, 1922, which reads: Fond du Lac, Minnesota. Site of an Ojibway village from the earliest known pe­ riod. Daniel Greysolon Sieur de Lhut was here in 1679. Astor's American Fur Company established a trading post on this spot about 1817. First Ojibway treaty in Minnesota made here in 1826. The report of the treaty is recorded in Sketches of a Tour to the Lakes, of the Character and Customs of the Chippeway Indians, and of Incidents Connected with the Treaty of Fond du Lac written by Thomas K. McKenney in the form of letters to Secretary of War James Barbour in Washington and first published in 1827. McKenney was the head of the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs. In May of 1826 he and Lewis Cass, the governor of the Michigan Territory, were appointed by President John Quincy Adams to conclude a major treaty at Fond du Lac.

This study proceeds in two parts. The first part of this study provides an empirical analysis of contextual and candidate specific factors thought to affect the way in which gender stereotypes surface during gubernatorial campaigns and how they affect women candidates accordingly.
