This revised seminar will discuss the upcoming midterm elections as they may be the most important in the 21st century.  The American political landscape has been transformed from one where tradition, norms and institutions are respected and supported, to one where it seems nothing is off limits - political victory, score settling and personal enrichment are the new "norms."  This seminar will examine where the world's longest running democracy stands, and discuss how, and if, it can continue to stand.

William McCulloch grew up in an all-white village; attended an all-white college; graduated from an all-white law school, but as a longstanding Ohio GOP congressman played a central role in the American civil rights movement. Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach: ‘We would not have a Civil Rights Act of 1964 or a Voting Rights Act of 1965 were it not for William McCulloch. God knows what would have happened to this country if those bills had not become law.’The New York Times reporter Adam Clymer: ‘McCulloch was absolutely essential to the most important law of the 20th century, the 1964 Civil Rights Act.’ Fr. Theodore Hesburgh of Notre Dame: ‘To the growing number of Americans who declare they are losing faith in our system, my rebuttal is the civil rights stand of Congressman William McCulloch.’ In 1969 he co-led the House of Representatives in voting to abolish the Electoral College. That never repeated effort failed in the U.S. Senate.

Janet and her husband Todd traveled the famed Mother Road, Route 66, in May of 2025. It was something they had thought about and dreamed of for a long time. After much research and planning they took the plunge, driving the entire route, Chicago to LA. Hear their strategy for the trip, what they liked, what they would do differently, how much they spent and recommendations for anyone thinking of making the trip themselves. And see lots of pictures. This is a repeat presentation of February's seminar which ended up being a snow day and some people could not attend. It will be largely the same presentation with some new thoughts and photos as Janet has recently revisited parts of the route.
