Purdue University: Refusal to Allow Christian Women's Group to Require Christian Membership
Category: Free Speech, Religious Liberty
Schools: Purdue University
Purdue University nearly evicted a Christian women's housing group on campus for refusing to abide by a "nondiscrimination" statement that required student groups not discriminate on the basis of a long list of characteristics, including religious belief, when selecting members. Any groups failing to abide by this policy could face the loss of rights and privileges on campus. As a Christian women's group, the Stewart Cooperative could not agree to ignore matters of faith when choosing its members. When the group asked Purdue administrators whether their organization could be excused from these requirements, the students were told that there could be no exceptions. After FIRE intervened on the students' behalf and sent a letter to Purdue University President Martin Jischke reminding him of the group's rights to freedom of expression and religion. President Jischke responded quickly and the Stewart Cooperative was guaranteed the right to base membership on religious affiliation.

Campus Left to Christians, Conservatives: Shut Up!
December 24, 2005
By Mark Tapscott at Townhall.com Scratch many of the administrators in charge on American campuses these days and you often find a neo-Stalinist who has no hesitation about suppressing views that deviate from leftist orthodoxy. If you doubt me, try supporting Christianity or conservatism in a public way in the ivy covered groves of American academe. Take California State University at San Bernadino, for example, where administrators refuse to charter the Christian Students Association because the group thinks its members should be professing Christians. Imagine that! The group 'would not be required to admit members who did not support the […]» Read More
Conformity on campus
December 18, 2004
This fall four new studies of professors' political attitudes showed a large tilt to the left: • Daniel Klein, an economics professor and researcher at Santa Clara University and Stockholm University, surveyed more than 1,000 professors around the United States and found Democrats outnumbering Republicans at least 7-1 in the humanities and social sciences, with departments such as anthropology and sociology coming in at about 30-1. • In a separate study of voter registration records, Mr. Klein found professors at Stanford and the University of California-Berkeley tilted Democratic 9-1. Among younger professors at those two universities the imbalance was even […]» Read More
The Good and The Bad (Plus Some Ugly)
October 11, 2004
Today's college campus is a study in contrasts. Professors and administrators cling to their grotesque orthodoxies, but students seem to be getting saner by the year. What follows are five of the most outrageous campus incidents of the last academic year, then five of the most heartening acts of courage. The conservative-speaker double standard is almost an academic institution. At Bucknell University, administrators refused a student group's request to invite Republican congressman and Senate hopeful Pat Toomey to give a speech, arguing that his appearance would violate a school policy against electioneering on campus. Meanwhile, Bucknell paid presidential candidate Ralph […]» Read More
Organization fights University's policy
May 26, 2004
By Brent Forgues at The Purdue Exponent The women's Christian cooperative house at Purdue has been exempted from following the University's non-discrimination policy. Kori Hurley, president of the board of directors of Stewart cooperative housing, said Purdue informed Stewart on Oct. 20 that they must add President Martin Jischke's new non-discrimination clause, which prohibited discrimination on matters of faith and sexual orientation, by Nov. 21. "We immediately knew we would have a problem with it because of our faith," she said. Stewart is one of a few student organizations with rules and doctrines rooted in the dogma of Christianity. "After […]» Read More
Survey: many college students fuzzy on first amendment rights
January 1, 2004
PHILADELPHIA — One out of four college students in a nationwide survey was unable to name any of the freedoms protected by the First Amendment, according to a free-speech watchdog group."These survey results are disheartening, but they unfortunately are not surprising," says Alan Charles Kors, president of the nonprofit Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE).Even among campus administrators who were surveyed, from presidents to assistant deans, 11 percent couldn't name any specific First Amendment rights, the survey indicated. And when asked which freedom the amendment addresses first, only 2 percent of the students and 6 percent of the administrators […]» Read More
Victory for Religious Freedom at Purdue
May 19, 2004
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., May 19, 2004—After six months, Purdue University has finally granted a Christian women's housing group an exemption from a mandatory "nondiscrimination" policy that would have made voluntary religious association impossible. The policy threatened the housing of the group as well as its very existence. On April 19, 2004, the women of the Stewart Cooperative housing group received a letter from Purdue's Office of the Dean of Students granting them an exemption from a Purdue policy that effectively would have barred this Christian group from being Christian. "We are gratified that Purdue has realized that a 'nondiscrimination' clause […]» Read More

The article has been revised.

Popular stickers include "peace," "love," "dream" or "friendship." Use stickers to hide scratches or dings on an old dresser, chair or chest Personalize furniture such as a chair, table, shelf or desk with stickers. Consider the color of the object and choose a sticker that accents that color. For example, a pale yellow table calls for blue and white stickers How to Prepare Walls for Wallpaper: Preparing walls for wallpaper is almost as important as the application itself. Why? Untouched walls tend to be bumpy and irregular. As a result, the wallpaper will not lay flat nor adhere well. For this reason, it's important to take the time to smooth out your walls and get them ready for a little glue and paper. Here's what to do Remove all items from the wall. Before you do anything to prep a wall, remove all of the items from it. This means you should take down photos, hooks, posters and any old wallpaper. These items will either get in the way or be damaged during the process of prepping your walls Smooth out walls with sandpaper. For painted walls, it's important to sand and scrape them until smooth. This process may take a few minutes; so enlist the help of a friend or family member, if possible. Also, don't forget to lay down a covering, such as a sheet, on the surrounding floor to protect it Repair any holes or cracks in your wall. A rule of thumb to follow is to fill in any holes and cracks in the wall that are larger or wider than a dime with plaster or another appropriate filler. This process will help reduce your chances of puckering and other unsightly things that make a wallpapering job look unprofessional. Be sure to let the filler set before you go onto the next step Wash your walls with a little soap and water. In a bucket, mix a ½ gallon of water and a drop of liquid soap. Then, wash your walls. Removing excess debris will prepare your walls for better adhesion of the wallpaper. Be sure to let your wall dry before you move on to the next step Apply primer sealer to your wall. It's important to add primer sealer to your wall before you add on wallpaper. Why? It seals the old paint and helps treat any imperfections that you may not be able to see with the naked eye. This is the final preparation step you need to take before you begin to apply your lovely wallpaper How to Remove Wallpaper Glue: Now that you've removed your old wallpaper, what do you do about that glue that's still on the wall? Find out how to remove wallpaper glue here -- your room will appreciate the extra care and attention when you paint it or rewallpaper it again Removing wallpaper glue is easy. It's messy and time consuming, but it's easy to do. Only work on one small area, or wall, at a time Cover the floor in the area that you'll be working with plastic or with old towels. You could even use both to provide the maximum protection for the floor that's beneath the area you'll be working in. Plan to have a few towels around that you can grab to clean up with if you accidentally spill water on the carpet or floor First get a bucket and fill it with warm to hot water. The water will cool quickly, so make it as hot as your hands can stand, but don't burn yourself Pour a tablespoon of liquid dish-washing detergent into the bucket. The soap from the detergent will really help loosen the glue that's adhered to the wall Using a sponge, scrub and wash the walls just like you were doing the dishes If the glue is really stuck to the wall, use a heavy duty scrub brush, something like the one pictured in this photograph, and scrub your walls. Also, make sure the water is still hot. As the water cools down, you'll need to fill it with fresh, hot water for the best results After scrubbing your walls, empty the bucket of soapy water and refill it with fresh, clean water Grab a clean washcloth or sponge and lightly wash your walls again. This washing job is much easier than the first because you're only removing the soapy water from the walls. If the water gets too soapy, dump it out and fill the bucket with fresh water again Tips & Warnings: Your walls will appreciate the extra work -- and the paint or wallpaper that you put on your walls will look much nicer (and last much longer) than if you didn't remove the wallpaper glue Be sure to follow each step in order to get the ultimate results Walls that have alkyd paint shouldn't be primed with sealer Package Included: 1 x Wall Sticker

Although cloth diapering, breastfeeding, birthing naturally and at home, and feeding kids wholesome, organic foods may have been what everyone was doing a century ago, the parenting picture changed dramatically leading up to the 1980s and 90s -- when I was born ('84), and, throughout my adolescence, when I worked as a babysitter. The families I babysat for were educated, lived comfortably, and hooked their kids up with the best educational toys, the cutest clothes, and so forth, but only one family (out of, like, fifteen) breastfed, none used cloth diapers, and organic food wasn't really a 'thing' then. I have a hippie aunt and uncle who went 'back to the land' and came out ahead of the curve on pretty much every one of these natural parenting approaches, and more. And of course people like Ina May Gaskin and Bill Sears have been doing their thing for decades. But it wasn't until I hit college -- and, again, worked as a babysitter -- that I encountered pretty-much-mainstream families who practiced co-sleeping, breastfeeding, cloth diapering, and more. Today, another five years later, natural parenting concepts and practices are even more widely-spread. In some circles, they've even become hip. Getting really good information on natural parenting topics, however, still takes some serious digging.
I do that digging because I'm a mom, and I learned early on that accepting the status quo, in today's world, often sells our kids short. In the beginning, I made some choices I regret not researching further, and then -- mostly because Kaspar had some health/allergy issues going on and regular doctors were of little use -- I learned to really research, to listen to my gut and to advocate for my kid.
Of course, not everyone has the time to read up on all manner of parenting stuff. (I did it on the job and late at night, back when. Now I get to do it for work.) And the thing about the increased interest in natural parenting is that there's a LOT of information out there. And a lot of it conflicts. But it's been shown that parents who have information on natural parenting choices actually, well, use it. I try to keep things simple and represent an accessible approach to natural parenting, on this blog, but I often have to wade through studies, statistics and extremist rants -- on both sides, of any topic -- just looking for the facts. There are also, of course, a ton of great books on any and all natural parenting topics, but I've often wished for one that comprehensively covers the big stuff new moms are concerned about, but that isn't super crazy long… something I could sit down and actually read, rather than use only as a flip-through reference (you know, in those "Why is my kid's poop green?" moments).
As it turns out, some other moms have been wanting this book, too. And they've gone ahead and written it. It's called The Other Baby Book: A Natural Approach to Baby's First Year, and it covers the topics any expecting, natural-ish mom has probably caught wind of but might be wondering… what they actually mean (elimination communication, anyone?). It's also fun to read. As authors Megan McGrory Massaro and Miriam Katz say, "we wrote our book, from the mom-in-the-trenches perspective, because we recognized that an alternative to the "traditional" Western baby book was needed. Most of what's popular today focuses on training babies to use mainstream commercial tools such as cribs, diapers and baby food, many of which go against babies' natures – and some of which cause problems down the road, like when it's time for potty training or adapting kids to healthy grown-up food. Hence, the 'Other' in our title. We cover such topics as sex after birth, Elimination Communication, Baby-led Weaning, and greening your home for the children."
What I like best about this book is that it does the research for you (but points you in the direction of its sources -- and more -- if you're an info-junkie, like I am), and backs up its suggestions with good information, but ultimately respects moms' abilities to make sound decisions for themselves. Instead of insisting that one particular way of doing things is correct, that all families must approach family life in the same way, and that you need to adopt some new agenda and buy some new stuff in order to fall in line, this book presents a pretty calm picture of the first year of parenthood, and hands the reins back to the reader. Megan and Miriam also maintain an informative and fun blog, provide one-on-one coaching and consultations, and host a hopping (drama-free!) Facebook community. I've gotten to know Megan a bit through my parenting writing -- I've hit her up as a source several times -- and I'm excited to introduce her, and Miriam, to all of you. Check out my interview with these awesome mamas, below.
This is THE book I wish I'd had when I was pregnant/brand-new at this, and I'm totally planning to give a copy to every expecting and new mom I know, henceforth. And here's the giveaway part: Megan and Miriam have generously volunteered to give a copy to one of you, too! Leave a comment (thoughts, questions, etc.) below and you'll be entered in the running. I'll select a winner, randomly, next Monday (November 5) and announce the lucky reader here. Good luck!
100% Natural Parenting: What is the book's primary purpose? (What's the #1 thing you want moms who read it to walk away with?)
Megan and Miriam: In all of our research and trial-and-error new parenting experiences, we found a gap in the baby-care resources. We desperately wanted a one-stop shop where we could read about parenting practices that felt most natural for mom and baby to pursue as a team. The Other Baby Book is the product of that realization. The main purpose of writing the book was to offer a simple, accessible resource for those who, like us, want something that feels natural, is grounded in science and and reflects the deep love we feel for our babies.
At its core, The Other Baby Book is a journey back to basics, so moms and babies can love their first year—together. The book is designed to be a catalyst for reflection and experimentation. As we wrote in our Introduction: 'The goal of our book is not to have you adopt and master our every word. If something doesn't resonate with you, no matter how many studies back it up, we encourage you to follow Emerson's lead: "Trust thyself—every heart vibrates to that iron string." '
100% Natural Parenting: Tell me a little bit about what inspired the book, and what your process was like in writing it.
Megan and Miriam: During pregnancy, as we began to think about birth and parenting, we both felt unsettled when considering some common baby care practices. We knew there must be alternatives--with evidence to support them-- to the cultural "wisdom" of leaving our newborns alone to ensure "independence" or feeding a quick bottle of formula to get the baby "used to it." After our babies were born, we had even more questions. Thankfully, newborns are sleepy and like to nurse, so we had plenty of time to read and investigate.
Our paths converged a few months after our girls were born, at a local Attachment Parenting mothers' group. We quickly realized we were walking the same journey of questioning the status quo--and we didn't know anyone else traveling with us! By the time our girls were six months old, we'd made some amazing discoveries and wanted to shout our findings from the rooftops: moms need to be empowered!
We thought we'd write a short book about just our experiences with these practices, but as we talked to other moms (we had a panel of over 100 moms who answered daily questions for several months), we realized there was a need for something greater. Something evidence-based. So we teamed up with a slew of experts in their respective fields, and were blown away by the positive response and generosity of gurus like Dr. James McKenna, Nancy Mohrbacher, Dr. Lawrence Cohen, and Attachment Parenting International co-founders Barbara Nicholson and Lysa Parker, who wrote our foreword.
100% Natural Parenting: Why do you think more people are beginning to question the status quo these days?
Megan and Miriam: We have a wealth of information readily available to us--which can be a burden and a blessing. Modern parents have more resources available to us than ever before – medical tools that are acclaimed as modern miracles, and convenience products like cribs that have been accepted as essentials. Yet, as issues like SIDS, formula contamination and the alarming rate of Autism appear in the news, many feel compelled to learn more. While convenience is nice, modern innovations can have unintended consequences, and it's often up to the parents to do all the sleuthing. We're excited to see new research reports published that not only provide us with more information about the consequences of certain actions, but confirm many benefits of simpler practices, which generations of mamas only knew experientially. Through all our research and interviews, we've discovered a growing number of parents throwing off the reins of modern society and embracing a back-to-basics approach.
100% Natural Parenting: Is this style of parenting available to everyone, or only to parents with endless supplies of time and money?
Megan and Miriam: We've written this book in an accessible and compassionate voice that appeals to moms from all sorts of backgrounds, and with varying degrees of resources. Practices like nursing, co-sleeping, baby-led weaning, baby-wearing, elimination communication, and playful parenting actually require far less money, and often less time, than their mainstream counterparts. For example, parents who practice baby-led weaning save money AND time--just offer your baby large chunks of your own (healthy) meal, and forget jarred foods or blending your own foods. We've found that this book is the most helpful to those "mainstream" moms who haven't been exposed to some of these practices.
100% Natural Parenting: What have you learned through this process (whether writing the book, or launching the blog and Facebook community)?
Megan and Miriam: Moms are brilliant and wonderful. And all are so very different. But one common thread is that we crave support, a safe place to ask questions, and respect when we make the best decisions for our families. We are so proud of our Facebook community, which has truly risen to the occasion of providing this nurturing and informative community. We've had respectful, insightful discussions about circumcision, co-sleeping, vaccinations, and family planning. It's really touched our hearts to see parents consider new ideas, and then watch others come on board to offer support and resources to walk that new path.

Jaspersoft has enhanced its Jaspersoft BI Enterprise Suite with upgraded data integration (DI) capabilities. The company trades on a claim of being the world's most widely used business intelligence (BI) software and says that industry analysts have recognized its product as a leading open-source data integration environment. From this position, Jaspersoft also claims that ETL Enterprise is capable of delivering enterprise-level BI capabilities that cost 80 percent less than traditional, proprietary vendors.
The company has tried to highlight the flexibility of the architecture that Jaspersoft ETL Enterprise is built upon, noting that this agility lets customers take advantage of a library of 450+ components to help manage the more difficult ETL jobs. It also gives customers the option of deploying or embedding ETL into their applications.
Jaspersoft ETL is designed to support "BI Builders" -- a self-coined term that the company uses to denote the collective group of developers, IT professionals, and consultants tasked with creating web-based, customized analytics and reporting solutions embedded within a production application or running as a standalone application.
"For companies looking to derive competitive advantage and new operational insight from their data, the ability to quickly access and visualize information from many different sources is paramount," said Brian Gentile, Jaspersoft CEO. "Our Jaspersoft ETL offering represents an opportunity for developers to build an even greater end-to-end BI suite for moving, managing, reporting, and analyzing data."
Jaspersoft ETL Enterprise capabilities include:
- Central repository for collaborative job design, change data capture, and sophisticated error recovery for improved availability;
- Flexible architecture, providing hundreds of data and application connectors powered by a distributed execution engine for improved performance and efficient hardware utilization;
- Centralized monitoring and management tools giving visibility into the design, deployment, and performance of data integration jobs; and
- Event-based triggers to automate job execution for real-time data synchronization.

Puerto Rico Day 1 & 2: Caribbean Gems
Greater Antillean Grackle
We birded around the hotel a bit where we saw more grackles, a Brown Pelican, Red-legged Thrush (the Puerto Rican version of a robin), and Zenaida Dove.
Zenaida Dove
At 12:30, we met our leaders Kevin and Lena from Wildside Nature Tours and the two other tour participants. After a brief food and fuel stop, we headed west from San Juan toward the town of Hatillo. We made our first birding stop at Laguna Tortuguero, a small woodland area next to a large lake. We immediately started hearing and seeing some of our sought after Puerto Rican endemics.
The first endemic we saw was Adelaide's Warbler - a gorgeous bird, but uncooperative for a photograph. Pearly-eyed Thrashers called from the undergrowth and several female Puerto Rican Spindalises (Spindali?) flitted in the limbs of an Orchid Tree. Luck was with us and a splendid male Spindalis joined the party. He stayed just out of view for a while, but then came down ridiculously close to feed on the flower petals of the Orchid Tree.
PR Spindalis with a piece of petal in his mouth
A hummingbird made itself known by buzzing over the canopy of the tree. It was a female Antillean Mango - a specialty of the Caribbean.
Antillean Mango - the leaf is not really stuck to the end of his bill, just bad positioning in the photo
We also saw some familiar birds like Osprey and Northern Parula and less familiar ones like the introduced Orange-cheeked Waxbill. We ended our time there and continued to our hotel for the night. I had a great dinner of some eggplant dish with a delicious side of rice and beans, along with some flan de vanilla for dessert. Yum. We were off to a terrific start! Day 3 was filled with tremendous birds. More on that later.

Democrat Julie Westendorff appeared to have narrowly won the race for the District 3 county commissioner seat, according to unofficial results.
Meanwhile, the race between Gwen Lachelt and Republican incumbent Kellie Hotter for District 2 was too close to call as Lachelt led by a mere 78 votes.
With 30 of the countys 30 precincts reporting, Westendorff had received 13,821 votes to Republican Harry Baxstroms 13,577 votes a difference of 244 votes.
Lachelt, meanwhile, had received 13,804 votes, while Hotter has received 13,726, putting the two neck and neck.
According to La Plata County Clerk Tiffany Lee Parker, around 1,000 provisional ballot had been cast and would be counted in the next couple of days.
Tuesdays race was a chance for Democrats to tip the political balance on the three-person board of commissioners after two years with a Republican majority.
Commissioner candidates run by district, but are elected at-large. The race remained close until late Tuesday night when the final votes were counted.
The county commission races followed different themes and trajectories throughout the election season. District 3 candidates Westendorff and Baxstrom adopted decidedly moderate platforms on issues such as comprehensive planning, fiscal belt-tightening and business friendliness in the county.
At one point late in the election season, Westendorff accused Baxstrom of adopting views that were more and more like hers.
No such accusation was made among the District 2 candidates. Voters were presented with a clear distinction between Lachelt and Hotter, the incumbent, as the candidates repeatedly emphasized their divergent backgrounds, priorities and visions for the county.
Planning started out and remained a central issue in both commissioner races. Much of the focus emanated from commissioners decision to shelve a new county comprehensive plan in December.
Lachelt took aim at Hotters vote not to adopt the plan, calling her decision fiscally irresponsible after the county spent more than $700,000 and two years of work into the plan. Lachelt also criticized Hotters vote against adopting a climate and energy action plan, which the county and city pitched in $60,000 to create.

J.R. Martinez And Chelsie Hightower Spend Valentine's Day Giving back
Chelise Hightower and J.R. Martinez have such big hearts which was apparent again this week when they attended the Los Angeles Children's Hospital Trueheart Events' 1st Annual All You Need Is Love Valentine's Day Party. They showered the kids and their familues with their light, love, and fun. Below is more from Look To The Stars.
Chelsie Hightower of "Dancing With The Stars" traveled all the way from Utah to spend Valentine's Day at Children's Hospital Los Angeles, and the kids loved spending time with her. Chelsie said while she is not particularly romantic herself, she would much prefer to spend the day giving back and making a difference in the lives of children. Chelsie was also catching up with her friend, and "Dancing With The Stars" champion JR Martinez at the party, who said how excited he is to become a father when he welcomes his daughter this year. J.R. gave the patients his undivided attention as he listened intently to their stories. He was overheard sharing words of encouragement with the children and telling them how much they inspired him.
You can read more on the event at Look To The Stars. New pictures of Chelsie and J.R. at the event can be seen at Ghetty Images here and here. So cute!!

GrabCAD – Not just a model library
October 29th, 2010 by Scott Wertel
When GrabCAD was announced, I was actually a little excited. Not that the world needed yet one more online CAD library, but that this was a universal library for all MCAD software products. The simple fact that any user of any MCAD software could share their models in a non-exclusive environment was the differentiator between GrabCAD and other model libraries. And the fact that a sales person is not going to call me and follow up on the model I downloaded from the (supplier's) website is an added bonus.
Back that up with powerhouse advisers like Josh Mings and Deelip Menezes, and the potential for a winning website is really taking shape. Using a standard social media wall as the front end with powerful search features to find that model you're looking for, and the benefits continue to add up. I also like the feature to request a model that isn't there yet. True, the traffic on the website is still growing so getting that request filled in a timely manner may not happen, but at least the door is open for the altruistic nature of future generations determined to help others out of the goodness of their heart.
This isn't your standard CAD library either, filled with simple parts like washers, bolts, and nuts. These are full up assemblies of some pretty incredible parts. I took a screen capture of some of the latest additions to give an example.
GrabCAD also has a decent list of Partners, making me believe that this website is here to stay, once I figure out what their business model is, that is. Did you also know that have a blog? You have to scroll past all the front page updates to get to the links in the footer to find it (an improvement they could make to their website layout), but it's there.
But that's not all! As Deelip blogged about on Oct 26th, GrabCAD is more than just a cad library. GrabCAD is turning into an engineering marketplace.
As someone who does freelance work, I'm always interested in finding new places to find work. I'm still waiting for this to develop. I know that entering into the engineering and design marketplace is not easy. Critical mass has to be reached very quickly for it to be sustainable – both with available jobs and talent to fill those jobs. Competition with sites like guru.com or elance.com is also difficult. Building a trust between supplier and buyer, an easy escrow system to exchange funds, and a secure place to handle proprietary information is a big hurdle that many marketplaces never pass.
I wish GrabCAD the best of luck in their future. If businesses like GrabCAD grow, then there is a chance for other businesses to grow as well. Symbiotic relationships are only beneficial if both entities find value, and an engineering marketplace is a symbiotic relationship among all parties involved.

Advocates for the state's Democratic party will be in Fall River and two dozen other communities this weekend in part to get people to the polls for the fast-approaching primary election.
It's the third and final "Weekend of Action" conducted by the party in the run-up to the primary, but unfortunately it seems all this action could be leading to a day of inaction on Sept. 9.
With just more than two weeks remaining until the primary, very little buzz is building locally over the races that will appear on the ballot.
Despite some competitive statewide races on the Democratic ticket, the lack of any real interest in the limited local races, which are admittedly far down the ballot, just adds to the general malaise that seems to be blanketing this election.
With just the primaries for Governor's Council and County Commissioner, two positions that many voters aren't really familiar with, it comes as no surprise that residents don't have much of a focus on the primary.
And even as Democratic party leaders — party chairman Tom McGee is among those expected to be at the Seabra Market from noon to 3 p.m. Sunday — descend on municipalities in advance of the party elections, they appear to already be focused on getting out a message about November rather than driving the primary vote.
"During our previous two Weekends of Action, activists reached out to over 25,000 voters across the state, having those critically important face-to-face conversations about the ideas and values of the Democratic Party," Coordinated Campaign Co-Chair and state Sen. Ben Downing, D-Pittsfield, said in a release. "The response has been overwhelmingly positive as voters support the Democratic leadership that has made us No. 1 in the nation in veteran services, education, clean energy and business competitiveness and do not want to go back to the failed policies of Republican Charlie Baker and his MassGOP."
But while the party focuses on securing the corner office on Beacon Hill in November, is it coming at the expense of their own party candidates?
According to the most recent poll conducted by The Boston Globe, 75 percent of respondents said they don't know who they would vote for in the lieutenant governor's race. The front-runner, based on the poll, is Steve Kerrigan, but with just 12 percent of the support from poll participants. Not exactly a sign of interest.
While the races will heat up in the next two weeks and advertisements are likely to become more prevalent, it may not be enough time to generate much action in the primary.
News and notes from the week.
— State Rep. Alan Silvia, D-Fall River, confirmed he is endorsing Democrat Maura Healy for attorney general.
"I just think she's focused on a lot of consumer issues; the foreclosure issue, issues that help seniors and the issues that will really benefit the people in our community," Silvia said.
— The series of GateHouse/WCVB sponsored debates continue this week with a doubleheader on Thursday at Stonehill College. The Democratic candidates for treasurer will go first, debating from 5 to 6 p.m. That will be followed by the Democratic candidates for attorney general running from 7 to 8 p.m. A debate among the Democratic candidates for lieutenant governor will take place on Tuesday, Sept. 2 from 7 to 8 p.m.
— Twitter follow of the week: It's a little off the political beat, but check out @350Mass if you're interested in the upcoming trial of the two men who blocked the delivery of coal to the Brayton Point power station last year.
The Politi-Beat Sunday roundup is a complement to the Politi-Beat blog found at heraldnews.com and appears weekly in The Herald News.
Will Richmond is The Herald News City Editor and can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or on Twitter @Will_Richmond.
