You are invited to watch TCC's Constitution Day commemoration,
honoring the Honorable Bob Marshall for his dedicated support of the
Constitution.
In the 1950s, one of the masters at the Boston Latin School,
which I attended, was Conrad Jamison, who supplemented his
income as a professional actor.
He kindly invited me to volunteer for a part in the Boston
Arts Festival production of George Bernard Shaw’s The Devil’s
Disciple. I did apply, and I was accepted for a minor role.
Others in the cast included E.G. Marshall of the Number
One-rated television show, The Defenders; Felicia
Montealegre, the wife of Leonard Bernstein; Martyn Green, the
principal Gilbert & Sullivan performer for D’Oyly Carte;
and Kevin McCarthy, who recently died at the age of 96. It was a
great experience which I shall always remember.
"Kevin McCarthy, a versatile actor who forever earned a place
in horror film history as the small-town doctor who uncovers a
chilling secret in the 1950s thriller "Invasion of the Body
Snatchers," died Sept. 11 of pneumonia at Cape Cod Hospital in
Hyannis, Mass. He was 96.
"McCarthy, the brother of novelist and literary critic Mary
McCarthy, enjoyed a reputation as an extraordinarily busy and
dependable performer over eight decades – – – McCarthy, whose
father was a lawyer, was born in Seattle on Feb. 15, 1914. After
his parents died during the 1918 influenza epidemic, he bouncFACE="Times New Romaned
among boarding schools and relatives, some of whom were
physically abusive.
"He was separated from his three siblings, including his
older sister Mary, whose works included the 1963 bestseller "The
Group." She died in 1989."

Closing
Remarks
Dear
Friend of the Constitution:
I hope
you can join me in Arlington, VA on
September 17 to commemorate the two
hundred twenty second anniversary of
the completion of the Convention
that gave us our U.S. Constitution.
There is no admission fee, but
because attendance will be limited
by the size of the room, we must
know as soon as possible whether you
plan to attend. (If you read this
just prior to the event, please just
show up and we will try to find you
a seat)
TCC is sponsoring
Constitution Day for the ninth
consecutive year, in cooperation
with The Conservative Caucus
Foundation and the U.S. Taxpayers
Alliance.
You will have the
opportunity to learn more about the
Constitution from a top champion in
the Virginia Legislature, Delegate
Bob Marshall.
I know that you and
I share a love and respect for the
Constitution, and that we each want
Constitution Day to have a powerful
impact.
That is why I hope
you will support this event with a
donation of $25, $50, $100 or more.
In fact, if you can send $1,000, you
will be listed as a Sponsor in the
Constitution Day program.
TCC cannot afford to
lose money on this event. We need to
receive enough donations, designated
for Constitution Day, to pay the
full cost.
That is why I am
asking you to help with a donation
of $25, $50, $100, or even a
Sponsor’s fee of $1,000 to make
TCC’s Constitution Day possible.
Whether or not you
provide financial support, I hope
you will be able to attend on
September 17. Since we will have to
stop accepting reservations once we
expect a full room, be sure to let
me know as soon as possible, so that
I can have your name added to the
attendance list.
Sincerely,
Howard Phillips Chairman
P.S. If you
contribute $100 or more, you will be
listed in the program as a "Friend
of the Constitution", and a $1,000
gift makes you a Sponsor.
Americans 'Send Them a Message' to
Repeal ObamaCare!
The Conservative Caucus (TCC) launched today the "Pledge to
Repeal ObamaCare" campaign at
www.SendThemAMessage.com.
Americans are urged to visit and print the Pledge to Repeal
ObamaCare and get their Senators, Representative and
candidates for the House and Senate to sign the pledge.
Howard Phillips, TCC’s Chairman, announced the new campaign
and the launch of www.SendThemAMessage.com, "This is a vital
step in repealing Obama’s Socialist medicine scheme, to help
keep the pressure on members of Congress to resist the influence
of special interests and liberals in both parties who will be
lobbying to avoid repealing ObamaCare.
Make no mistake, there are many powerful individuals and
companies who will quickly learn how to profit from health care
rationing and other elements of Socialist medicine; they will
fight efforts by Americans to repeal this dangerous scheme."
Mr. Phillips invited Americans to
pass the word to their friends; "As concerned citizens, your
action and that of your friends can make the difference, and I
invite you to visit SendThemAMessage.com now and send ‘them’ a
message."
In conclusion, Mr. Phillips noted the effectiveness of
videoing pledge signing and deliveries, "Under the scrutiny of a
video camera, you may find members of Congress and candidates
more willing to be courageous and sign the pledge to repeal
ObamaCare, than in the quiet of their office with special
interests looking over their shoulder."
The Conservative Caucus (TCC) is a grass roots action
organization, formed in 1974. It was active in opposing the
ObamaCare bill, defeating the SALT II Treaty, repealing the
Catastrophic Coverage Act, blocking the Clinton health-care
takeover, and impeaching President Clinton.
Recently I was asked "If you were going to homeschool your
own children today, what curriculum and method would you
choose?".
I am, in fact, helping to homeschool four of my
grandchildren, and my method is very simple: a) I share life
experiences with them, b) I give them books to read which I
think are of particular value and importance, c) I ask them to
write reports on each of those books, d) I emphasize vocabulary
and grammar, et cetera. So far, each of them is doing very well
on their College Board tests and college admissions.
My youngest son, Sam, was homeschooled, even while he resided
in his mother’s womb, and he was accepted at every college to
which he applied, including Hampden-Sydney, William and Mary,
Virginia Military Institute, Christendom College, and The
Citadel. In most cases, he was offered scholarships.
We had no fixed curriculum, but we made sure he was well
versed in the Constitution, the Bible, current events, history,
et cetera.
You also ask "If you were going to invest in career education
today, where would you place a bet on demand for the future?
What skills would you develop in order to be a viable worker in
the economy of the future?".
My answer is very simple. There will always be a demand for
integrity, energy, as well as verbal and written communication
skills.
Good men are hard to find, and they usually will have no
problem whatsoever in finding suitable opportunities.
Thanks for asking.
