NEXT MEETING

PLEASE SCROLL DOWN TO THE NINTH (FIRST UNNUMBERED) SECTION BELOW FOR INFORMATION ABOUT OUR NEXT MEETING.

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.

7/17/24 - Adverse Impacts of Pres. Biden’s Spontaneous Proposal at the July NATO Summit that Allies Produce More Weapons

Post by johnkarls »

.
On July 13, an Action Proposal re Pres. Biden’s spontaneous proposal was posted in the Discussion Outline section of our website re our July 17 meeting – please see viewtopic.php?f=813&t=2537&sid=d637940f ... b6d40b3589.

Here is our July 23 protest to Pres. Biden resulting from our July 17 meeting –
FedEx Overnight Tracking Number 277403988227

The reasons the delay in sending it are –

(1) The rumors that turned out to be true that Pres. Biden would abandon his re-election campaign this past weekend; and

(2) Uncertainty whether he would nonetheless continue as President for the final six month of his term.

After announcing on July 21 his decision to abandon his re-election campaign, he telephoned his campaign staff on July 22 during which he told them at approximately 5:49 pm EDT –

“I’ve got six months left in my Presidency. I’m determined to get as much possible as I can with foreign policy and domestic policy.”

Re foreign policy vis-à-vis which a President has extremely-broad authority to formulate and implement policy unilaterally, Pres. Biden can do quite a bit in the next six months to shift weapons manufacturing to allies with the adverse impacts described in our letter.

Accordingly, we should not be blinded by the current outpouring of gratitude by Democrats and the Mainstream Media for Pres. Biden’s decision to abandon his re-election campaign.
