    logo_leagueofwomenvotersVerde Valley AZ (May 13, 2015) – Andrea Houchard, Director of Philosophy in the Public Interest at Northern Arizona University, will be the featured speaker at the annual meeting of League of Women Voters Greater Verde Valley (LWVGVV) Saturday, May 30, 10AM-Noon at Olde Sedona Grille, 1405 State Rte 89A in West Sedona.  Houchard is passionate about engaging all people in the voting process. According to Houchard, “In politics today, many people, especially young people, are convinced that their vote does not count and there really is not much difference between one politician and the next.  We’ll explore strategies we can use to convince people of the importance of voting and encourage them to do it. We need to increase voter turnout in the 2016 election.”

    The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan political organization encouraging informed and active participation in government. It influences public policy through education and advocacy and never supports or opposes any political party or candidate. The League of Women Voters has two separate and distinct roles. On one hand the League provides voter service and citizen education by presenting unbiased information about elections, the voting process and issues. At the same time, the League promotes action and advocacy and will study an issue, determine a position, and then use its position to advocate for or against particular policies in the public interest.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
