When our representatives are making important
decisions that impact all of our lives I believe it is important to ask
one basic question before making
those decisions, Is this good for
the children? Just imagine what our world would be
like if that question was asked prior to making decisions about going to
war, the environment, education or healthcare.

1. Kathleen Haynie wrote the
play What They Did to Alice, about the role of Alice Stokes
Paul (1885-1977) in helping women achieve the Right to Vote through
the passing of the 19th Amendment. Elaine saw a production of
this play at Santa Rosa's 6th Street Theater and approached Kathleen
on presenting this over the radio with a telephone conversation with
Alice Paul. Kathleen and Elaine present the telephone conversation
with Alice Paul to mark Women's History Month and the the Women's
Suffrage Centennial.
Alice Paul, suffragist and vice president of the National Women's
party broadcasts plans for the dedication of the New National
Headquarters at Washington from her desk at the Capitol. She began
the first version of the Equal Rights Amendment in 1923. Bettmann

About our Guest: Kathleen
Haynie is a retired RN, and Licensed Clinical Social
Worker, with 35 years’ experience in health care. She walked onto
the theater stage late in life and discovered the joy of intimacy
with the audience. She attends the school of drama at 6th Street
playhouse with Lennie Dean for several years. Currently she is a
cast member of Off the Page Readers Theater and has written several
pieces that have been performed. When she learned about Alice Paul
through the film Iron Jawed Angels, she became impassioned to write
this piece to let people know about her and what she and the others
endured to get the vote for women.
2. Elaine B. Holtz
and Ken Norton read Elaine's poem Friends and Lovers
to mark their 20th Anniversary of their Life Partnership on
April 1st.
Elaine wrote this poem during their courtship period. As most
of us are sheltered-in-place to help slow down the rate of infection
with the Coronavirus, we thought it would be of interest to couples
with time to deepen their relationship.

Spaces Booth at the Petaluma Progressive Festival August 2019
