SUMMARY:Predicting The Results: The Election of 2016
DESCRIPTION:What is at stake in the election of 2016? Not much.  Unless you count the future of health care\, Social Security\, Medicare\, voting rights\, the economy\, abortion\, gay marriage\, and the environment! Not to mention our potential involvements in Middle Eastern wars and the ongoing fight against terrorism. That’s all! \nIt is a truism every four years to say\, “This is one of the most important presidential election of our time.”   \nThis time it’s true! \nUnder one scenario\, controversial Republican Donald J. Trump wins the White House and the GOP manages to keep control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Within weeks of the inauguration\, Obamacare  is scrapped\, the country moves towards a privatized system to replace Social Security\, illegal immigration becomes a central issue\, Congress is asked to authorize building a wall on the Mexican border and a conservative president appoints several very conservative Supreme Court justices who then get to rule on issues such as voter ID laws\, abortion\, and gay marriage. \nUnder another scenario\, controversial Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton is elected president. If the Democrats manage to capture control of the Senate\, they consistently build on the programs and legacy of President Barack Obama and continue moving America away from the conservative principles of the George W. Bush years. Under this scenario\, Justice Antonin Scalia is replaced by a progressive/centrist Supreme Curt justice\, with more (potentially)Justices needing to be replaced  in a year or two. The expansion of voting rights\, minority rights\, gun safety laws\, environmental protection\, aid to education\, increased production of alternative energy and slowing global warming take center stage as important issues. \nSounds important to me!

Sounds important to me! \nGOP 2016 \nI will offer specific predictions for which candidates will win which states – for \nSecretary Of State Clinton \nthe presidency\, the control of the Senate and control of the House of Representatives. In 2012\, I got 50 out of the 51 states (including the District of Columbia) correctly and only missed on one Senate race. Can I reach that level of certainty again? Don’t miss this presentation! \n  \nPLEASE NOTE!  This presentation is offered FREE! Space is VERY limited – Registration is STRONGLY suggested. For more information\, contact the venue! \n  \n

SUMMARY:Hillary Clinton - Shattering The Glass Ceiling
DESCRIPTION:Hillary Clinton – Shattering The Glass Ceiling\nAmerica has had powerful and polarizing First Ladies before.  Mary Lincoln.  Eleanor Roosevelt. But no First Lady has ever shattered the glass ceiling like Hillary Clinton.  She has been a lightning rod for the right and icon for progressive women.  Hillary Clinton had already built an amazing professional record before becoming First Lady.  In fact\, no First Lady in history can match her professional career!  When her husband was the Governor of a small southern state\, she was chosen as one of the one hundred most influential lawyers in America! Twice! \nHer amazing success has come at great personal cost. As First Lady she had to deal with her husband’s infidelity and a troubled marriage. Hillary Clinton faced vicious ongoing attacks on her character that included bizarre accusations of murder.  She was serving as the United States Senator from New York on the morning of 9/11.  Her daughter was working not from the World Trade Center and Senator Clinton could not reach her for hours. \nIn 2008\, she came within an eyelash of winning the Democratic nomination and\, likely\, the Presidency.  She then became the only former First Lady to serve in a Cabinet position.  Now she stands close to becoming the first woman ever to serve as president of the United States. But how  much do you know about her personal background? Her relationships with her parents\, her upbringing\, her early years in college and as a lawyer? \nHillary Clinton – Shattering The Glass Ceiling is a multimedia presentation will take you into her family background\, her marriage\, the roots of her personality and her faith. \n
