Its a different world view. Most effective . I think the thing we did really well in 2012 in particular was applying best practices from large scale ecommerce to making donation process as efficient as possible. Its not super sexy but its things like speed kills. The faster the system is, the more people donate. If at any point in the process there is any kind of lag, you are just introducing an opportunity for people to get bored. Speed matters a lot. We used to joke about making the process as easy so easy that if people tripped and hit their head on the computer they would give us money by mistake. Preferably more money. Ideally. And doing things like amazon and large ecommerce retailers have allowed you to save Payment Information for a long time. You can buy with you go on. I want to buy that.

She was not happy her husband had been elected president. She never made it to washington. When he resigned, he and his wife and their family moved here to williamsburg. It was here that Letitia Tyler suffered a stroke. John tyler learned he was elected as Vice President of William Perry region William Henry harrison. It is here that he became 10th president of the United States, so she learned she became the first lady. She had another terrible stroke, and her husband goes into morning, and then he meets another young lovely in her 20s. I think of her as the madonna of first ladies. She posed as a model at a time that was frowned upon, by all accounts was bewitching. There were 90 slaves, and they were her supervision. Julia lobbied for her husband, and she supported him tremendously in everything she did. Untimely death, a secret marriage, and outsize personality are stories of the women we examined tonight. Good evening, and welcome to the Season Series of first ladies. William Henr

First of all, always good to be here. Thank you for another great event. I want to commend matt for the great job he has done. But also, i think people should understand modern government. It is a really big deal for a current and former to sit next to each other. A lot about matts confidence as sit next to a guy who can say anything the hell he wants. Glad to keep them close. [laughter] i agree with his assessment of the threat. I would add a couple of small items. We have actually done, wouldve talked about the threats and other places that are terrible in the world. We have to remember how successful the counterte
