President Waskah Whelan SDCFRW President THE TRUMPET OCTOBER 2015 Page 4 AMERICANISM—Barbara Fowler “Would Hillary Clinton Really Be the First Woman President?” Preface: During the Democratic Debates on Tuesday, October 13, in Las Vegas, Hillary Clinton mentioned a couple of times about being the FIRST WOMAN PRESIDENT but if elected, would she actually be the first? Read below the tantalizing historical happening regarding this very question. The Answer documents his wife placed before him. Even his private secretary placed the memoranda on vital questions before Mrs. Wilson, who decided, when and if, they reached the President. Essentially, Mrs. Wilson was the reigning monarch. When President Woodrow Wilson was on a trip, and as the train neared Kansas, Wilson had a paralyzing stroke. His entourage turned back to Washington, D.C. Conclusion: So it was in 1920. Edith Bolling Wilson was not only the secretary to the President, acting Secretary of State, but also the Acting President of the United States as well. While his advisors were busy making plans about what to do, Edith Wilson, President Wilson’s wife took charge. This strong woman allowed no one to see her husband without her permission, not even the Vice President of the United States. Commentary: Unlike Hillary Clinton, Edith Wilson had no personal ambitions of her own, but she was determined that as long her husband was breathing – He would remain President of the United States of America. Mrs. Wilson even determined what pieces of legislation were laid before the President. With a shaky hand, Wilson signed the letters and So, Hillary, you should have been more alert when Bill was President and seized an opportunity because next year a Republican will be President.

Their eager-to-please, calm personalities make them the perfect pet. This trait also makes them perfect for research purposes. But what happens after these animals are no longer needed for research? I am pleased to report that AB 147 received final legislative approval on August 27. The bill has been forwarded to Governor Brown and awaits his signature. If you would like to contact the Governor to request he sign AB 147, please give his office a call at (916) 445-2841 or send him a fax at (916) 558-3160. You may also email Governor Brown through his website at https:// govnews.ca.gov/gov39mail/mail.php As a dog owner and animal lover, I am interested in protecting animals that have been used for research in our colleges and universities. Currently, there are no federal or state guidelines pertaining to post-research adoption policies for animals used in scientific or medical research. Obviously, once they are no longer needed for this purpose, these dogs and cats should be released for adoption whenever possible. Hopefully, by taking this small step we can ensure that research animals in California have a chance at a full, happy life with a loving human family. Assembly Member Marie Waldron Assembly District 75 350 West 5th Avenue, Suite 110 Escondido, CA 92025 Phone: 760-480-7570 To help accomplish this, I have joined Assembly Member Matt Dababneh (D – Encino) as the principal co-author of Assembly Bill 147, sponsored by the Beagle Freedom Project. It requires any postsecondary educational institution that uses dogs or cats for research to offer the animals to adoption or rescue organizations if it is determined they are suitable for adoption. While many colleges and universities already have internal adoption programs, this measure will create a statewide standard to supplement those policies. From Your Beagle to You: You chose me, out of all of the other Beagles...I thank you There's no place I'd rather be than with you...I am loyal to you I lie down and show you my belly...I trust you I never have to wait for my dinner...I can depend on you I will defend you with my last bark and bite...I am your protector You always make sure I am safe...You are my protector I am so happy you made me part of your family...
