As Senator, he also did progress in help treating alcoholism. While in the Alcoholism and Narcotics subcommittee, Harold asked many well known people to share their testimony, but most declined except for Mercedes McCambridge, Marty Mann and Bill W. He also stated to all why treatment of drug addiction is so important, saying that treatment is virtually non existent because addiction is not considered an illness. Harold then decided to run for presidential election in 1972, but ended up dropping out of the race. In his last year as Senator, he and administration created a second bill that would surpass the act placed in effect in 1970. He was invited by President Nixon to sign it, but could not bring himself to do it because they did all the…

The average alcoholic just couldn 't stand the pace and got nowhere (51)." Besides, these issues they also that the only way the addicted person can be free of addiction was the belief of Jesus Christ as the only…
Treatment helps achieve all these steps. One person sent in a question asking, “Do prayers help in trying to get an alcoholic to stop drinking?” They were answered by: “Sometimes, it seems, they’re the only things that do. Hope, and the internal spiritual strengths that respond to prayer, can sustain the person who has to stand by and watch and alcoholic tragedy unfold. however, people have told me many times that after they have prayed, help has shown up in the most unexpected place and time”…
This was followed by introductions. I stated my name and rather identify as an alcoholic, I said this was my first meeting. Then the night’s main speaker came up, and delivered what I can only describe as a beautifully powerful story. The topic was personality change. Among the things she said, several things stood out for me. She stated that she wasn’t a bad person, as the world would label her, but that she was bad with alcohol. Apparently, one of the tenets of the” big book” is that to…
The student government body is similar to that of the House of Representatives. Each person on the governing body gets to express their view points. Also like the House of Representatives, the student legislative body is overseen by an assembly or legislative chair. The legislative chair is responsible for setting an agenda to be discussed each week at the general body meetings. On the agenda, bills are up for vote and discussion. Usually, a member of the legislative body will propose a bill to…
process requires the president and congress to work together to create laws. Article 1 of the constitution states that “all legislative powers granted herein shall be vested in a congress of the united states” (Fisher 2007, 84). Congress is made up of two chambers, the House of Representatives and the Senate, both of these chambers share an equal role in creating legislation (Chamberlain 1946). The president also has an important role in creating legislation at the beginning of the process and…
“California equal pay bill may be toughest in nation” (Masunaga 2015). This article was written by Samantha Masunaga and published in the Los Angeles Times. The Los Angeles Times has been in circulation for more than 130 years and has won over 40 Pulitzer prizes. The paper has been accused of having a liberal bias, but I do not feel that it has any bearing on this particular story. Samantha Masunaga attended UC Berkley Graduate School of Journalism. Prior to joining the staff at the Los Angeles…
Of course, Jack and Bill also have more investigations to do thanks to some information that has come to light regarding Mr. Gowen. I simply adore the pairing of these two--kind of like the dynamic duo of the Old West. One has to go by the books, and the other can be a little more creative in his interpretation of the law. Together, they are invincible as they solve whatever crime or perceived crime comes their way. As Bill, Jack is handsome, rugged and certainly committed to justice at any…
brutally executed by Ismaaiyl Abdullah Brinsley who committed the acts under the motive of revenge for the deaths of Eric Garner, Michael Brown and others who died due to police brutality. Prior to the shootings, Brinsley shot his ex-girlfriend, who reported the incident to the Baltimore Police. Baltimore authorities then tracked Brinsley’s and warned NYPD, minutes later the officers were killed. Violent Acts such as this can be prevented, if such programs like the Blue Alert were to be adopted…
from someone who may be too far removed from the middle class way of life and its worries or someone whose suggestions are idealized snippets with little practical value. So, what to do when the refund arrives: Pay those Pesky Bills Most of us have them and if you don't, well then, you're already one step ahead, but many of us have at least one pesky bill. I'm not talking about a medical bill or credit card. They don't really fit into the pesky bill category, what does, however is a utility…
