Her mothers folks are from virginia and probably her fathers as well. John converts to quakerism and they go off and live in North Carolina in a quaker community. As far as we know dolley was born there so she is North Carolinas only first lady. What is sad about that she spends most of her life denying it. We think it has to do with her fathers shady Business Practices and they move back to virginia. So shes raised in the world of slave holding. Her father released his slaves as a quaker. Is that the cause of his inability to continue his business . I think he had other problems besides that. He couldnt farm so they moved to that chilly Northern City of philadelphia. Im not sure if you know so much about her thoughts of slavery. How is it that she reconciled herself to actually having slaves in the white house . I think thats a good question. Im not sure i know the answer to that. But she did not free any of her slaves as her father had. And she didnt speak out against slavery so the
My son signed a medical release so the doctors could talk to us. We did not know this because the doctors were not talking to us. We found out after he was deceived. Read the medical records. We found out he signed a release. The doctors still would not talk to us. The way the law is written, it is still up to the doctor whether he chooses to talk to you or not. The other question i have announced that no one can seem to answer is, if a patient signs a release, cancels it, and reinstates it, and cancels it, does there have to be a paper trail on that . I cannot seem to find that. There does not seem to be a rule on how that works. How do we know if doctors can talk to a patient . If they signed to a release and verbally cancel it, who would know . None of that is documented in the medical records. I wanted to let members know something interesting. Four states and the District Of Columbia have claimed the privacy rule is preventing them from putting records into a National Criminal dat
Here. Second terms tend to be more difficult. Why is that . Give us the history. Well, i dont know if i totally believe that. And i know its so popular right now that i hate to be the contrarian where were saying second terms are a curse and that theyre so much more difficult. I think any president would rather be in their second term than having to be in a first term with a huge election looming. So i think you get a lot of relief when youre president in the second term that you dont have to run again. Also, theres a notion there are scandals that occur in the second term on nixon and watergate and irancontra and lewinsky problems, all ones people raise. What they miss, is what would bill clinton have been without a second term. It wasnt the lewinsky issue that matters in the end but when he left office we had a surplus and that the triangulation worked and was able to have a balanced budget and couldnt have done it without a second term. We dont dwell on Ronald Reagans irancontra deb
Candidates. This is 30 minutes. Hi, everybody. Thank you so much for having me today. The weather in d. C. , i thought that i was getting a wreak coming to dallas [laughter] and, unfortunately, i had to wear my coat this morning. So what im here to talk to you all about is why we need more women in politics. But this weekend i was looking on the internet, and i found what i think is a much better title for this talk, and that is ask not what you can do for women, but what women can do for you. [laughter] so a few years ago i found myself sitting next to the mayor of salt lake city, and he was of a nice guy, and we started talking about what i do for a living. And i told him i work to encourage young women and girls to run for political office. Why, he said, which stumped me because in my business, in my world the question of why we need more women is not a question. Nobody asks why, they just ask how do we get more women there. And he went on to say, he said i have two daughters, i hav
