WHO/WHAT WE ARE

We are a U.S. public-policy monthly discussion group founded in the Fall of 2005 that meets on the third Wednesday of each month (with adjustments to avoid secular/religious holidays).

Since February 2020, we have met via Zoom. [For the first 14.5 years of our existence, we met at the Salt Lake City Library (210 East 400 South) with remote participation via Skype.]

The topic is selected by the attendees of the previous month’s meeting. The focus is usually a book but frequently comprises only news items from magazines/newspapers/etc. This bulletin board serves, inter alia, as a place for members to post comments or additional reference materials prior to each meeting.

Our attendance averages 11-12. Participants come from all walks of life but our regular attendees include 4 attorneys and 3 scientists.

There are approx. 225 recipients of our weekly newsletter, many of whom reside outside Utah and participate by Zoom.

40 SIX-DEGREES-OF-SEPARATION E-MAIL CAMPAIGNS, 4 REPORTS & 9 REPRISES

We take great pride in our Six-Degrees-Of-Separation E-mail campaigns to America's decision makers which, with only a few computer keyboard key strokes, can be sent by each of our members (1) to the decision maker, and (2) to all of the member's friends and acquaintances requesting them to do the same in an unending chain.

Accordingly, we also take great pride that each of our official recommendations has been approved unanimously at one of our meetings or, at most, received only one dissent.

All 40 e-mail campaigns over the years are collected in this section. They include 10 e-mails sent by John Karls that did not receive an official endorsement for the rest of our members to send. The titles of the 30 official recommendations are ALL CAPS and the titles of 10 unofficial recommendations are lower case.

The date of the meeting at which each of the 40 campaigns was adopted is listed so that voluminous additional information about that campaign can be accessed by scrolling down to the sections of this bulletin board that relate to that meeting.

In addition, there are four items whose descriptions begin with “REPORT.” They are reports of our Great Salt Lake Working Group which was formed IAW our “Short-Time Fuse” procedures described in the next section of this bulletin board.

There is also a 1/20/2021 “Report” of our JCPOA Working Group.

Finally, there are eight items whose descriptions begin with “REPRISE.” They describe additional actions that were taken IAW previous official e-mail campaigns to bring their approved policies to the attention of additional decision makers.

CALL TO ACTION -- "SIX-DEGREES-OF-SEPARATION" E-MAIL CAMPAIGN FOR PROSECUTION OF BILL AND MELINDA GATES AT THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT FOR "CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY" -- (ONLY 5 MINUTES NEEDED TO PARTICIPATE)

We take great pride in our Six-Degrees-Of-Separation E-mail campaigns to America's decision makers such as President Obama which, with only a few computer keyboard key strokes, can be sent by each of our members (1) to the decision maker, and (2) to all of the member's friends and acquaintances requesting them to do the same in an unending chain.

Accordingly, we also take great pride that each of our recommendations has been approved unanimously at one of our meetings or, at most, received only one dissent (in which case we say there was a "consensus" rather than "unanimity").

The following Six-Degrees-Of-Separation E-mail campaign to President Obama on the referenced subject was approved unanimously at our 9/12/2012 meeting.

If you agree with the recommended E-mail to President Obama that appears below, please --

(1) send the already-prepared e-mail to President Obama at http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact > Submit Comments Online [from the menu half-way down the right side of the first screen (NB: "Contact Us" at upper right on the first screen, is not operational)] -- which will require (A) inputting your name, an e-mail address and a ZIP code, (B) selecting from the pull-down "subject" menu "Education" under "I Have A Policy Comment," and (C) pasting into the box provided the message to President Obama that appears below. [It is also recommended that you select a salutation = "Dr." from the pull-down menu before your first name and that you check the box at the end for "Contact me - a response is requested" -- both suggestions in order to maximize the chances that the message will actually be read.]

(2) send to all your friends and acquaintances an already-prepared e-mail that comprises everything below the set of asterisks that follows this paragraph -- so that, through no more than six degrees of separation to 100% of the American population, we reach everyone in a cascading chain.

Subj: CALL TO ACTION -- "SIX-DEGREES-OF-SEPARATION" E-MAIL CAMPAIGN FOR PROSECUTION OF BILL AND MELINDA GATES AT THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT FOR "CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY" -- (ONLY 5 MINUTES NEEDED TO PARTICIPATE)

Dear Friends,

I have been requested to participate in the referenced "call to action" and request that you participate as well.

The campaign is based on the fact that there are NO MORE THAN SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION between us and 100% of the American electorate.

And that, on important occasions, we can send to all of our friends and acquaintances an already-prepared e-mail (1) for them to send to America's decision maker(s) to influence governmental policy, and (2) for them to send to all of their friends and acquaintances to do the same in an unending chain.

The reasons for the campaign are contained in the already-prepared e-mail to President Obama that appears below.


**********

If you agree with the proposal, please --

(1) hit your e-mail forward button and put the e-mail addresses of all your friends and acquaintances into the address section so that, through no more than six degrees of separation to 100% of the American population, we reach everyone in a cascading chain.

(2) send to President Obama the already-prepared e-mail that appears below at http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact > Submit Comments Online [from the menu half-way down the right side of the first screen (NB: "Contact Us" at upper right on the first screen, is not operational)] -- which will require (A) inputting your name, an e-mail address and a ZIP code, (B) selecting from the pull-down "subject" menu "Education" under "I Have A Policy Comment," and (C) pasting into the box provided the message to President Obama that appears below.

NB: The http://www.whitehouse.gov e-mail form requests messages be limited to 2,500 characters. The following message is 2,474 characters without spaces and will be accepted by the e-mail form with cut-and-pasting.

Re: CALLING A RATTLESNAKE A CANARY DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM IF THE "CANARY" BITES

Dear Mr. President:

A tragedy has been unfolding for the last 12-15 years that is condemning inner-city children to "a fate worse than death."

You are probably aware that The Hon. Hillary Clinton served until the 1992 Iowa caucuses on the Advisory Board of the "I Have A Dream" Foundation which oversaw during the 1990's the efforts of 179 individuals to replicate in 51 American cities what Eugene Lang had done when in 1981 he promised the graduating sixth graders of Harlem P.S. 121 their college tuition if they stayed in school. He then provided a tutor and mentor for each "Dreamer" until H.S. graduation.

Despite the prevailing single-digit H.S. graduation rates in America's inner cities, 60%-65% of the Dreamers graduated and proceeded to college.

And then it was discovered that the volunteer tutors and mentors had become surrogate parents and, if they communicated their hopes to the female Dreamers, the prevailing 50% pregnancy rate would plummet and the H.S. graduation rates would exceed 90%.

This despite 95% of those Dreamers living in single-adult households headed by druggies, 75%-80% of whom turned over any receipts to the pusher so the kids had to steal just in order to eat. And despite the kids knowing by Kindergarten that their only realistic career objectives were pusher or pimp, or girl friend of a pusher or pimp.

Identical-Twin Studies consistently demonstrate that they have the same level of intelligence as suburban children.

Accordingly, it is tragic that Bill and Melinda Gates and their foundation have led the nation away from The Promised Land to worship for 10 years the "false idol" of breaking up inner-city schools into smaller units and, after admitting that failure, of leading the nation to worship the "false idol" of school choice.

Recent comprehensive studies by the Brookings Institution and by Stanford University show that charter schools are no better than public schools even though the charter schools typically accept only children of functional parents and then expel anyone who isn't performing.

"School Choice" is treating a SOCIOLOGY problem as an EDUCATION problem and makes no more sense than closing a police precinct in whose jurisdiction a crime is committed and hiring amateurs in their place.

Since the reckless behavior of Bill and Melinda Gates are "Crimes Against Humanity" as defined in the Rome Statute establishing the International Criminal Court at The Hague, it is respectfully requested that you petition the U.N. Security Council to provide the ICC with jurisdiction to prosecute the Gates. After all, they are condemning more inner-city children to a "fate worse than death" than the number of victims involved in all of the prosecutions at the ICC combined.

Thank you for your consideration. [More information is available on http://www.ReadingLiberally-SaltLake.org]
