At its
December 4 meeting, the LWVDC Board considered the D.C. Council's recent
resolution calling for the U.S. to vigorously pursue diplomatic means,
including action through the United Nations, to disarm Iraq of its most
destructive weapons." After discussion, the Board- agreed to
commend the Council for its action, and approved a letter from President
Hallman; which "welcomes your effort to fill the void left by our
lack of representation
when Congress acted on this issue, one directly affecting District
residents." We also forwarded to our Council a copy of the
letter to President Bush sent by LWVUS President Kay Maxwell on the same
issue - see your December DC
VOTER for the
text of that letter. — Sheila

"GALA"
PLANNING MEETING
The
League is currently working on a major fundraiser that we hope will be
held in the month of March - the birth month of the League. Again, we
need League members support for this endeavor. We hope to raise funds in
two ways: First, by soliciting from corporations and small businesses
recommended by League members; and, second, through a major gala event.
We need League members to volunteer to work with the committee to put
this event together. We also ask League members to
fax to the League office (347-2522)
or call Linda
Softli at 667-8210 by the end of January 2003 the names of businesses
and friends to whom we can send our appeal for funds. The next gala
committee meeting is Tuesday, January 7, at 6 pm. The place is yet to be
determined. Call me at 667-8210 to participate in this committee.

Fundraising Committee

We are
saddened to report the passing of former D.C. League President (1957-59)
Libby Dunn Hertzmark at the age of 91. Her leadership in the causes of
voting rights and self-government for the citizens in Washington, D.C.
is remembered. At the time when the city had no representation in
Congress (not even a non-voting delegate), Mrs. Hertzmark urged
congressional committees to grant D.C. citizens the right to vote in
presidential elections and to elect their own officials (granted in the
Home Rule Act of 1973). Contributions to the D.C. League in Mrs.
Hertzmark's memory have been received from Louise Belcher, Ann &
Stewart Chalem, and Clara G. Schiffer.

MEMBERSHIP RECRUITMENT
New
membership is vital to the health and well being of any organization. As
Membership Chair, I want to take the time to reach out to all of our
members to say ... we need your personal support in order to bring in
new members. Each of us has co-workers, family, church, or business
partners who have not been contacted by the League for membership.
If you
would simply, call me at 667-8210 or the League office with the names,
addresses or telephone numbers of potential members, we will do the
rest! I would like the names of at least 100 individuals by January 31,
2003. — Linda Softli (667-8210), Membership

Try as we
might, it is hard to imagine any subject of greater concern to D.C.
residents than health care or public education. With that in mind, our
Health Committee and our Education Committee have fashioned an all-day
forum to take place at the Logan School Resource & Training Center -
Annex Bldg., 215 G Street, NE on January 25 (see enclosed flyer).
Parking is available on the school lot. The school is just south of
Union Station.
In the
morning, from 10
am to noon, on the topic, "D.C. Healthcare Safety Net" a
panel will provide us with a general picture of health care in the
District. We expect to receive the latest update from the Mayor's office
and from the D.C. Council. We'll then break for a brown bag lunch from
noon until 1 pm; bring your own but we'll supply tea, coffee and
cookies. From 1 pm to 3 am, "Leave No Child Behind" a
panel will discuss the impact on D.C. Public Schools-of the new Federal
legislation.

Unit
Meetings to follow
up: There will
be ample opportunity for Q and A's in both sessions, but we're trying
something a little different this year, as well. Recognizing that the
"give and take" we experience at our unit meetings can be
difficult to attain in a general meeting, we decided to focus our
February unit meetings on the information provided in the health section
of the January 25 forum and the unit meetings in March will focus on the information
gained in the education portion of the forum. These unit discussions
will be interesting even if you cannot attend the forum, but attending
the forum will help you prepare for the Unit discussions. (More about
the units in the upcoming issues of the VOTER) Meanwhile, hope to see
you at the forum. If you have any questions, please call Naomi Glass,

VOTER SERVICES COMMITTEE:
DON'T MISS THIS CHANCE
Those of
us who have had the opportunity to represent the League at the monthly
ceremony for Swearing in of New Citizens believe it is one of the most
enjoyable parts of our membership in the League. The ceremony, held
at 10 o'clock in the D.C. Courthouse on the second Tuesday each month,
is one of dignity and pride. Eighty to 100 new citizens from 20 to 40
countries are sworn in, and we are there to receive their registration
to vote. We hope soon to be able to participate in the ceremony by
emphasizing the new citizens' role as District of Columbia residents as
well as American citizens. We will also sponsor one of the monthly
receptions for the new citizens and their guests held after the
ceremony. These receptions provide a wonderful opportunity to chat with
the new Americans, find out about their backgrounds, and tell them about
the League of Women Voters.
If you
would like to attend one of the New Citizens' Swearing in Ceremonies,
please call me to add your name to the list, or contact me by e-mail,
smarmayor@aol.com. The next opportunity to attend will be
Tuesday, January,
14, 2003. — Judy

League
members voice opinions at Unit meetings. According to the Unit
recorders, the fall Units so far have reported various opinions from ,
its members on the issues at hand.
OCTOBER:
The well-attended October unit meetings were
devoted to a review of the September primaries and consideration of
several related issues. There was agreement that, in general, the Board
of Elections and Ethics "ran" a good election process with one
glaring exception: notices informing voters of what ward and Single
Member District they were in, and where they should vote, were not
received timely or not at all. Many League members felt strongly that we
should examine current election laws; a thought to keep in mind as we
approach our program-planning session on February
8.
NOVEMBER:
One unit reported on
voting procedures at the precincts. Redistricting was viewed as a
possible voter turnout.
Increased information about
issues and availability of curbside voting
were recommended. No Unit
favored retrocession, nor was any committed to statehood. Suggestions
were for regular columns in the NATIONAL VOTER and DC VOTER about full
'voting rights for the District. One unit discussed the favorable impact
on residents of 'knowing the adverse effects of our lacking voting
representation. All welcomed the information gleaned from the
Riviin-O'Clearicain Brookings' report.
DECEMBER:
The December Units included social activities and
League 101 - a refresher on the League and how it functions. The D.C.
Voter went to press before the December Units met.
JANUARY:
There will be no Unit meetings in January. All
League members are encouraged to attend the Forum on Health and
Education slated for Saturday, January 25. See enclosed flyer for
details. The next Unit Council meeting for Unit chairs will be held
Monday, February 10 at 7 pm at the home of Naomi Glass. More information
on this meeting in the next DC Voter.

At
its meeting on November 26, 2002, the Healthcare Committee heard a
review of the September 2002 Annual Report of the Mayor's Health
Services Reform Commission (HSRC) by Karyn Gill, a League member who
contributed to the preparation of the Annual Report. Karyn, a former
president of the LWV of California, has extensive experience in the
field of health care, both at local and national levels.
The
Commission was created as the Mayor's principal overseer of the city's
healthcare system. Dealing specifically with the DC Healthcare Alliance,
it was established with the goal of transforming the healthcare system
from a hospital and institution-centered one to a community-based, primary
care system. These services are provided through a network of
community-based clinics, primary and specialty physicians, and other
hospitals. The Commission is comprised of forty members with individual
expertise in healthcare, business, consumer issues, and other community
perspectives:
In its
first Annual Report, the Commission notes the need for a database. (we
don't know who's uninsured), and recommends that "the Initiative
move rapidly toward an eligibility determination system that can make
'one stop' determinations of eligibility for all available District
health insurance programs."
Speaker
Karyn Gill suggested the League 1) seek appointment of a League member
as a representative . to the HSRC, 2) demand observance of the sunshine
laws, 3) support a regional health consortium, and 4) support the D.C.
government taking responsibility for its low income citizens. She sees
the future of Medicare as threatened, and urges participation by League
members in the national campaign for a "single payer"
healthcare system. Such a system is supported by national League
positions.
The
Healthcare Committee will meet
next on Tues Jan 14th at 12:30 pm at the LWVDC office to finalize plans
for the Jan 25 forum. Members are welcome to attend and participate
in the planning. — Natalie Howard
(882-8762), Chair

DC
Vote Board Chair Daniel Solomon was honored by the National Capital
Area, United Nations Association at a luncheon held in the Russell
Senate Office Building on December 10, 2002, for his work in support of
human rights. The DC League of Women Voters nominated him for this
tribute. Mr. Solomon's contributions are described in the booklet
presented at the event to honor all those nominated. For the past five
years, he has worked tirelessly in support of full voting rights in
Congress for District citizens. At this time, the United States is in
non-compliance with the United Nations "Universal Declaration on
Human Rights," which stipulates that "Everyone has the right
to take part in the government of his country, directly or through
freely chosen representatives."
Robert
E. White of the Center for International Policy addressed those in
attendance, on the topic "Seeking Peace with Justice in
Colombia." Ten members of LWVDC attended.
The DC
Vote Benefit (honoring Sen. Joseph Lieberman, Delegate Eleanor Holmes
Norton, and businessman Frank Rich, Sr.) is scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 14
from 6:30-8:30 pm at the Hyatt Capitol Hill. Contact DC Vote at 462-6000 for
tickets. — Kathy Schmidt (237-5550)
Back to top of page
DC
VOTE: Kathy Schmidt reported that two meetings of D.C. Team Democracy
have been held since last May's Lobby Day, for diverse groups supporting
some form of congressional representation to exchange ideas and points
of view. Schmidt moved that LWVDC agree to host a third meeting to take
place in January. The Board approved the motion. Kathy commented the
next step in our campaign should focus on eliminating the practice in
Congress of attaching riders to our D.C. budget.
Housing:
Elinor Hart reported that a Council hearing is scheduled for Dec. 11
regarding a strategy to implement the Comprehensive Housing Bill of
2002. She urged League members to contact Kathy Patterson and Vincent
Orange to urge them to cosponsor the bill.
D.C.
Voting Rights: Kathy Schmidt spoke of the need for human-interest
stories to maintain awareness of the need for D.C. voting
representation. She moved that we contact the editor of the National
Voter and arrange for each issue to carry a story or note regarding the
problem. The motion was supported and carried.
Program
Planning: Naomi Glass, working with Health Chair Natalie Howard and with
Education Chairs Constance Tate and Gladys Weaver, proposed a
two-step approach to local program planning, as follows: a) an all-day
forum to. take place the 3rd week of January, with Health the subject
from 10-12 a.m., and Education from 1-3 p.m., b) a general meeting on
February 12 for all members to consider potential program for the coming
two League years.
Elaine Melmed's suggestion that the Education segment
of the forum focus on the "Leave No Child Behind" national
legislation was supported. February Units would then focus on the status
of Healthcare in D.C., and March Units on Education.

DC
League committee members testified at two separate hearings on Dec. 11,
2002. Elinor Hart, before the Committee on Economic Development on Bill
14-0672 - Comprehensive Housing Strategy Bill of 2002 stated in part, "We
believe the city's need for a comprehensive housing strategy is
very , obvious .
With the Housing Production Trust Fund and the
Vacant and Abandoned Properties; Initiative, which are currently becoming
operational, D.C. is making a significant investment in housing. The
city now has an array of housing programs, created independently of one
another that meet a range of housing needs. But we have no clear picture
of the total need and where the gaps are in meeting the need. Nor have
we determined the best approaches for meeting the housing needs at
different income levels and in different neighborhoods."
Sheila
Willet speaking before the Committee on Consumer & Regulatory
Affairs, on "Rent Control Legislation" Bills #14-717, #14-810,
and #14-813, testified on how rent control legislation should function,
"...the changes proposed in the bills would provide needed
clarification and tightening of requirements. Thus, significant
loopholes in existing legislation would be closed."
Interested
League members are invited to attend the next meeting of the committee
on Tuesday, January 21st at 7:00 pm at the home of Sheila Willet, 20348
17th Street, NW (588-1734). — Sharron Hines

HEADS UP! LOCAL &
REGIONAL PROGRAM PLANNING SLATED FEB. 8, 2003
LOCAL: Our biennial
local and regional program planning will be the subject of a general
meeting to be held at the Logan School from 10 am to noon on Saturday,
February 8, 2003. Watch for details and a copy of our
"Positions-in-Brief" inserted in your February DC VOTER. Meanwhile,
consider what local and/or regional issues you would like studied and/or
acted upon in the coming biennium. Do some of our positions need to be
revisited? Are there areas we have never examined, or areas that we
examined too long ago? Election laws? Rental housing? Libraries?
Comprehensive Planning? Other? But remember... it's not enough to cite
an area of interest ...that's the easy part. We need people willing to
work on the issue, and especially, we need enthusiastic leadership for
any given issue. You? Specified colleagues? Who?
REGIONAL: The National
Capital Area League (NCA) is an Inter-League Organization (ILO)
consisting of nine local Leagues plus the Leagues of Maryland, Virginia,
and the District of Columbia, formed to enable these Leagues to work
together on selected
governmental issues of a
metropolitan, regional, or inter jurisdictional nature.
At its convention next May, NCA will select program
for the next two League years (FY 2004 and FY 2005) so, during member
Leagues' imminent local program planning sessions, it's important that
members consider what they want NCA League to do. Recommendations from
member Leagues' Boards should be addressed to Naomi Glass by February
15. The NCA Board will formulate a proposed program by March 15, and
submit it to member Leagues.
Current
NCA program activity includes action, whenever possible, on D.C.
Revitalization, and study by the NCA Transportation Committee on
"Regional Transportation Solutions: Part 2." The Committee
plans to provide informational units in the fall of 2003 and consensus
units in the spring of 2004. There is still much interest in
waterresource issues, but no project leader has come forward. Please
contact me if you are interested in filling that role or know someone
who is. — Naomi Glass
(686-0124), 2nd Vice
President Local Program
Back to top of page
Upcoming
Meetings: The
NCA Board meeting will be held Friday, January 3`d at 10 am in the LWVUS
Board Room, 1730 M Street, NW, Suite 1000. On Friday, January 17th at 10
am in the same location, the Voter Services Roundtable will hear LWVUS Executive Director Nancy Tate speak
about the recently passed Election Reform Legislation and its impact
on the states. Both meetings are open to interested League members.
