Hey everyone, here is how you can adjust a pleating radio using some simple math. I also

have a video on how to adjust a pleating ratio, and that video focuses more on the built in

geometry, so you don't have to do any math. Anywho, to figure out how much fabric you'll

need for a given length, you'll first need to establish what I am calling a pleating

ratio. Basically, the ratio of pre-pleated fabric to pleated fabric. To do this, I take

a ten inch strip and run it through my pleater. I use ten inches since the math is easy, but

you can pick any length that you wish. Then I adjust the pleats until I like the spacing.

There isn't really a "right or wrong" way to adjust your pleats, although too tight

will make it hard to pleat and personally, I don't like that look. But it's sewing,

you do you. So once you get your ratio, then you'll

measure what your post pleated fabric need to span. So in my case, I'm doing some pleating

underneath this yoke. I only want pleating in the center 3 ¾ inches under the yoke.

I want some flat fabric on each end to make construction easier.

So here's the math – my established ratio is 4 inches of finished pleated fabric to

the 10 inches of the pre-pleated length. Now I know I want around 3 ¾ inches of finished

pleated fabric, so I'm going to use that to figure out what my pre-pleated length should

be. So I cross multiply and solve for x. So I've

got 4 times x for 4x and 3.75 times 10 for 37.5. Then divide both sides by 4 to solve

for x, so 37.5 divided by 4 is 9 and 3/8 since .375 is 3/8.

Now remember, we've set up x to be the portion of pleated fabric. In my case, I also need

to add in a facing on one side as well as an armhole on the other. Keep these variables

in mind as you approach your own project. Just add in those factors as you need. So

I'm adding on three inches for that facing and two inches for the armhole.

So I've got my 2 inches for the armhole plus the 9 and 3/8 inches for the pleated

section plus 3 inches for the facing for a total of 14 and 3/8 inches.

So that gives you the math portion. Then I pleat up my fabric by running both the left

front side of my dress through the pleater as well as the right front side of my dress

without removing my threads – just one less thing to do.

Then I pull off plenty of extra thread before moving these from my pleater. I pull the thread

so each piece of fabric has enough to work with. Then I cut the threads and move all

those pleats over so I can make room for my facing. I planned for 3 inches to go to the

facing. So I find the nearest pleat to three inches and pull up those threads. Then I should've

tied those treads off so they are secure before I moved onto the armhole, but I just forgot.

You'll see that I go back and tie them off in a little bit.

So I mark my armhole giving the pattern. You can see that I have the yoke pattern right

on top of the skirt pattern that has the armhole attached to it. So I overlap these pattern

pieces at the given seam allowance. I make sure that seam allowance is collinear to the

top of the skirt and the side of the armhole is also flush, and then I pull out the pleats

on the other side of those marks, giving myself some space for seam allowance. And really,

I should've tied that first side off before moving onto this armhole so I don't pull

out any of those threads. So I'm doing that now and then going back to the armhole side.

Then I cut around that armhole. So then I iron that facing over into place

and get my favorite freezerrr paperrrr. Love this stuff. So I bring over the yoke just

to double check my work as I'm blocking. So I line up one side with the yoke and then

tie those pleating threads off so the other side of the skirt is flush with the yoke.

At this point, I am only concerned with getting the length correct. After those threads are

tied off, then I trim them up and evenly distribute the pleats. Then I grab some of this freezer

paper and iron the waxy side down to keep those pleats in place. If you are new to using

freezer paper, I do have a more detailed video going over how you can block using this magical

stuff – seriously, I can't recommend it enough.

Then I put my yoke right sides together with my pleated skirt and sew the two together.

Normally I would trim up the freezer paper so it is flush with my fabric, making a consistent

seam allowance easier to achieve, but I couldn't find a non-sewing pair of scissors and didn't

want to make too much noise – this was around 4 in the morning. But you get the idea…

from there I would continue sewing my entire garment and then do the smocking at the end,

on a finished garment. I hope this video was helpful. If you have

any questions, please leave them in the comments below and I'll do my best to answer them.

As always, I appreciate y'all for watching and I hope to catch ya next time.

Beginning or Returning to Makeup Tips with Only 8 Items for Both Younger & Mature Women over 50 - Duration: 25:23.

Okay awesome ones. Well you know I love our subscribers and I'm still reading

pretty well every single comment that you put down and I'm really surprised

that how many of you after watching a makeup video have never worn makeup

before or maybe you haven't worn makeup......... some people are saying I haven't worn

makeup in like decades. Thank You Heather. And I thought what I would do is I do

this video for you rookies out there or you returners to makeup out there.

I'm just going to use eight products. So I'm going to really really keep it

simple and some of you who, you know are thinking well you know what, I don't want

to use all those 20 products that Heather's using, you might really find

this informative as well. It starts in just a few seconds.

So I wanted to do this video just to help those of you that, you know, need a

little bit of enhancement. You really want to get a little bit of confidence

back and what I'm using here are just eight products. I'm showing them here and

they really really cover everything that I need to do a full makeup on my face.

And the other thing about these products is I really made sure that they're

pretty reasonable. I know the mascaras a little on the high end but I also will

tell you about an option where you can get a drugstore product that actually

works just as well as well. So as you know I'd like to keep it real. I have

absolutely no makeup on my face and as a former 80's model that was really hard to

do, but I want to give the best to you guys and so I'm used to it now, but

anywho what I would suggest if you're just, you know starting on makeup or you

want to do a minimalistic kind of makeup or you're just returning to it is let's

start with a concealer. Now this concealer we're only going to use one in

this video, because I'm keeping it minimalistic as I said. It's a little

lighter than my skin tone and what I'm going to do is I just....yes you have the

lipsticky kind of thing, but what I like to do when I'm doing this kind of

an application is just, I don't know if you can see that...... they're kind of rolling

on my fingers a bit. I've got to start with underneath these eyes because I really

usually have like dark circles under my eyes sometimes. I even have bags, not

today but that's a good thing you know and I just sort of dab it, just kind

of dab underneath here and as you can see yes it's a little bit lighter......

just dabbing underneath again, these are great blenders and you have ten of them

here, it's called your fingers. Alright so there you go.

Now.....that you might say....ah that looks really really bright, but we're gonna

tone it down in a minute. Now if you have blemishes, if you have age spots, if you

have whatever which I got pretty well everything on the list.

Oh yeah, yeah um but just use this like this you see how that's covering up

there. Blend it in. I also like to put a little bit in between my eyes here

because, I don't know, it's kind of purply in there but I'll sort of show you this

one. Dab it on, blend it in, oh I got more here sorry this is gonna take up a lot

of the video all my spots that I have to cover up, but yep they're there. I got

some redness here, my nose a little bit on my nose and then can you see these

guys here, so I'm gonna go like that...like that....like that....like that and just do

some blending. Now one little final look here, what's that, blemish I guess and

a final little look. Oh you know what, this was nasty, this one here is really really

dark, so had to add a little bit there. So there you go.

One concealer that's all you need for this minimalistic kind of makeup and

it's a very natural makeup even though I'm not using a lot of products it still

works just fine. So let's see step number two while this dries. So well that's

drying we're gonna use eyeliner pencil. Alright and a sharpened one, make sure

it's sharp now. I'm using black for this video but you might feel a little more

comfortable with a softer kind of look. Maybe a brown would work for you and

this is a little bit tricky, you might need a little bit of practice at it, but

basically what you're going to do is...I usually start from the inside and work

my way out. Now you might be saying to yourself, oh I don't I think I'll skip

that one, I don't need the eyeliner. Well if you have droopy or hooded eyes and

actually I'm gonna put a link up there for the hooded eye video, you'll realize

why you need a little swoosh at the end, because we want to liven up your

eyes a little bit and you know the eyes are magic, so we do want to work a little

bit on them. So all I'm gonna do is......kind of hard to show you, but I started here,

see I'm just kind of feathering it out a bit, it's not a great big line, it's just

giving your eyelashes a little bit of definition and as we age, I don't know we

seem to lose some eyelashes, so this really just helps a bit, doing doing here

and don't...kind of do it in....in several strokes, you see I'm not just

going zoom like that, just kind of lightly brushing it and then at the end, I do a

little swoosh. I'll get back to the swoosh in a minute and I'm just gonna

quickly do my other eye.

There we go and the little swoosh. Alright next step. So the third item you're going

to need is an eyeshadow palette. Now this one I found is fabulous. It's not very

expensive either. It's by Burt's Bees. There's all kinds of different palettes

that you can get and actually I found this Burt's Bees makeup line really

really awesome and I'm gonna put a link up there for a video that I did on it

because it wasn't even a sponsored video but I applied the makeup and I really

really loved it. So let's choose this palette um this does not come with a

brush hmm so you might want to get a palette like this instead with a number

of different colors in it and that's going to come with your with a couple of

brushes which are good. Now if you're saying to yourself, you know what, I don't

really want to invest in brushes right now.

Well these work just fine little um little cotton swabs here and just

remember to throw them out occasionally, but I've used these before and they work

just fine, so let's just um go ahead with this and what we're going to do with

this is we're going to put this just above the eyes.

That's just on the eyelid there so I just want to make sure that I got it

straight, hold on for a second. Oh yeah very natural, a very natural look, also

what I'm going to do is.....sorry I'm kind of melting in here under the lights, but I want

to keep going with this and we'll cool off in a minute. Also put a little

highlighter up there right underneath the brow bone, that's really really

lovely there. Now what do you do with this color?

Well this color, if you can see just the natural....I don't have any makeup on, but

I've got a kind of a natural crease here, so what I'm going to do is, I'm just

gonna go along that natural crease there.

See it's looking pretty....yeah and I'm going to go along that natural crease

there and because of the hooded eyes that I have....didn't have them when I was

younger, but I got them now. I'm gonna just do a little swoosh out like that

and I am going to brush it out with my fingers there, all right so now there's a

third color in here and in this particular palette it's like a lavender

sort of color, but they also have pallets with Browns and other colors that you

might prefer. Now this is when you're a little bit daring if you want to do this

you might not want to do it the first try if you're just a beginner you're

getting back into makeup, but I will show it to you as for the people that are

just sort of want to do this, okay so first of all I use a brush like this or

you could use a q-tip, just be really really careful with that and I'm gonna

go underneath the eyes.

Notice I'm not using a liner, but this is really a pretty look just under there

and then right across here in the crease with that darker one to just show some

definition. See all these wrinkles I've got over here. I'm just trying to hide

them with the darker one and then that little swoosh that we made there we're

just gonna bring that up, there we go. I am literally melting it's really hot in

here under these lights. I'm going to go back but I'll be back in a second. I got

a fan here for a second. I'll be right back.

Alright I'm cooler. I'm keeping it real. Sweet....sweat

beads and all, but anyway, so I'm much cooler now and oh I wanted to mention to

you also, makeup brushes. If you do want to get some makeup brushes, I did a video

on that too on makeup brushes. I'm gonna put it up there you know the right kind

of makeup brushes to use so you might go...... I kind of like this makeup thing. I think

I'm gonna toss the cotton swabs and I'm gonna go ahead and use some proper

brushes. So I'll put a link up there to that video, but let's move on to the

foundation. so for this foundation I want to keep it easy-peasy for you guys again

this is a Burt's Bees product and I love this little compact because it has a

mirror on it but it also comes with an applicator so that's always nice to have.

So what I'm going to do is I'm going to just sort of dab this into the

applicator. I want to dab and brush a little bit like this so a little

bit of a stroke there and I'm going to try to now put this on my face. Let me

see if I can do it with this mirror. Hopefully this works for you guys and I

am not going to go under my eyes yet. I just want to cover you know we've got

we get discolorations when we get older and and you know even when we're younger

we've got some discolorations on our face. So what we want to do is cover them

up, not with a lot and again I'm just sort of scraping and dabbing on this a

little bit. I don't know if you can see that, but yeah so lets go up here taking

that nice shine off. Well it wasn't a nice shine, it was

taking the shine off as well. All right and you can sort of see the difference

in the coloring here and over here.

This is really nice. I think it's got bamboo in it or something this some

powder so it's a hundred percent natural - I believe so that's always good and

what am I going to do with this last little part under my eyes...you don't want

to put too much powder under your eyes, that's where all the wrinkles are so if

you put too much powder under there all of a sudden you're going to age yourself

ten years. So just a little dab, little dab will do you....do you guys remember

that saying oh wow, going back probably long time ago. Now look at the difference

between the two. You got this side and this side, but I didn't put too much on

so now I'm going to take the shine away from this side and if it's too greasy

under there your mascaras gonna transfer. You can have all kinds of yucky things

happen. So there we go. That's it just small dab and we are done.

Next is the blush. So next as I said it's the blush and I really like this kind of

three color brush, a blush rather. I'm using a brush like this, but if you don't

want to buy the the brush quite yet you can use a little bit of cotton batten

and just very carefully put it on. Not too much. You're gonna have to be really

really careful with this, but for me since I have the brush I'm gonna use it.

I just dab, just dab and I'm going to put a little bit here on the apples of my

cheeks I think that's what they call it. You see how that is and I'm pretty yeah

so just put a little bit there. Now if you noticed here there is a kind of a

darker part of this blush, so if I wanted to I can using a different brush here I

could do a bit of contouring with this and I don't know when we get older it

seems that our faces get wider. So sometimes you know I really want to show

yes I still have cheekbones and I'm going to put a little bit here and here

also the word I hate to use is jowls. The words awful but anyway put a little bit

of that contouring under here as well and that will sort of take away some of

the look of the jowls. Now also that blush brush that I had here just you

know just want to give it a little bit of color all over and yeah. So next is

the mascara and I absolutely love this mascara, it goes on well it comes off at

night well, it doesn't sort of go underneath my eyes it's a little bit

pricey though, but I also in the Burt's Bees I also tried the burst B's

and it was really quite good and I think it was at least half the price of this

one. So you know if you're on a budget or whatever you could certainly do that, oh

and by the way I'm going to link both of these and all the other products that

I'm using in the description. I'm going to put a link to the blog and then at

the blog you'll be able to click on these products, see really what they were

and if you want to purchase them I have to say this on the video we do get a

little bit of a commission and that's really helping us to keep going with the

videos. A big THANK YOU if your doing that. Okay we

really appreciate it. Mascara time.Now what you want to do

with mascara, first of all thank you to all of the comments that have told me, do

not pump. I used to go pumping the mascara in here and do not pump your

mascara just pull it out of the wand like that if you pump the mascara you're

gonna put air in it and it'll dry out faster. So that's good thing to know

thanks everybody for those wonderful comments about that. Okay so I'm just

feathering the upper lashes here just a little feather

not too much and I'm gonna do another coat again but that's about it for now

and we're gonna let that coat dry and now we're going to work on the next part.

So we're waiting for that to dry. I've got this eyebrow pencil and you can

see it's got a little spooley on the bottom and the color I'm using is blonde.

Now we're all different colors and that sort of thing, so blonde is good for me

it's also you know a lighter color if you've got the silver hair growing in or

maybe you dyed your hair silver but be really careful that you're not getting

too dark of of an eyebrow look cuz it's really gonna be harsh on this. We're

going...that we want this to be a natural enhancement that's what the whole thing

is all about. A little natural enhancement and my

really true heartfelt wish is that you know maybe you've got a little more

confidence with that especially as you're maybe rising up in a few years

here. Brush the eyebrows up. Now if you are a mature woman some of your eyebrows

have left and not returned. So we've got to fill that in here .I just sort of

brush up like this. I don't go zoom again so brush up and this one here, look at the

mess that is.....maybe Bill can show you the close-up of that like okay my eyebrows

are missing I don't know where they went but they just decided to be missing one

day oh and by the way I did a video on shaping your eyebrows so you really

should take a look at that. I'll put the link up there somewhere for you because

if I did all of these steps in length this video would be like three hours

long and we don't want to do that. It's just going to be....you should be able to

put on this real quick makeup in under five minutes

easy. Maybe not the first time, but you know so I'm drawing in those little

hairs.

And then she had hairs on her eyebrows.

Just brush them back up again. All right so we can do another coat of mascara

here and again just very carefully.

See how pretty that is and the eyeliner that's there is just kind of blending in

it's not really....can't notice that eyeliner which is what I wanted.

Now I also at this particular point, you don't have to do this if you don't want

to, but I like to just do a little bit on the bottom lashes. I find it really

really enhances the whole eyes and I

think it's a very worthwhile step. So for my eighth product it's this lipstick

crayon. You know what? I just found this lipstick crayon. I absolutely love it.

It's amazing and I'm going to just put it on here, but you know what, looking at

our lips what happened to our lips, like it's just when we're young we've got

those red lips and everything else and then the color just disappears

anyway, so let's just lighten them up a little bit and what I love about this

crayon is you can outline your lips and fill them in and you're done. The other

thing I love about this little crayon is the fact that it does have a lid for it.

I could put this in my back pocket I could really easily put it in my purse

and so it's really easy to carry as well. So all I'm gonna do I'm not gonna go

crazy here I'm just gonna outline my lips the way they naturally are.

See that.....

then I'm done. That's done. So hey for sure you got to put on a little bit of

lipstick because that bland look, not working is it. So there you go. I hope, I

really do hope that this makeup video really helps the rookies or those of you

that are just getting back into makeup. It's also great for those who are on a

budget or that don't want to do like the 20 odd steps that I did in some of the

other videos where you go, man you know this is gonna cost a fortune or

this is too long. This is really as I said easy peasy and some of the things,

some of the steps that I didn't use on this particular makeup is....I did not, you

know I really didn't use a lipstick liner. I didn't use my anti-shine cream

that I love. There wasn't highlighters and all that

sort of thing the other thing that I didn't use in this video was primer so

some of you are probably thinking oh my gosh should I get primer.

Well I found that the the Burt's Bees foundation that I use and probably other

foundations as well they work okay on your bare skin, but I would suggest that

at night time you put on a night cream and then the next day don't put on a day

cream because sometimes if you're putting on these powders it's just gonna

get really really blotchy or oily and that sort of thing. So I just put it on

the fresh skin of the morning which still has a little bit of the night

cream on. So at the end of most of my videos we bring in the cuteness factor

our little Yorkie. Hey Hurricane our little Yorkie Hurricane, lots of kisses

today don't you. And little Hurricane and I would like

Episode 1209 | The Line: The Heat Is On In The Race For Governor - Duration: 8:46.

>> WELCOME BACK TO THE LINE AND OUR FINAL TOPIC THIS WEEK,

NOTED NATIONAL POLSTER EMERSON COLLEGE OF BOSTON RELEASED A

POLL THAT SHOWED THE GOVERNOR'S RACE IN NEW MEXICO

IS SUPER CLOSE RIGHT NOW.

MICHELLE LUJAN GRISHAM 42%, OPPONENT STEVE PEARCE AT 40%.

18% OF US WHO ARE REGISTERED POLLED UNDECIDED.

TOM THOSE NUMBERS SURPRISE YOU OR IS IT ABOUT THE POLSTER

THEMSELVES?

WHAT IS YOUR THOUGHT ON THIS ONE?

>> YES.

>> GRIFF THE LION IS THE MASCOT FOR EMERSON COLLEGE AND

WE WERE ALL BETTER NOT KNOWING THAT.

IT WAS ALSO THIS PARTICULAR POLL I AM NOT SURE, YOU KNOW,

WHILE I THINK IT REALLY BENEFITED THE FUND RAISING OF

BOTH GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATES BECAUSE IT IS A CLOSE RACE, WE

HAVE TO RAISE MONEY, COME ON FOLKS.

SO, I AM NOT REALLY -- THEY ARE NUMBERS NOW.

IT IS A SNAPSHOT IN TIME BUT, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE MANY OTHER

THINGS RIGHT NOW THAT COULD SHAPE THE FUTURE OF THE

ELECTION THAT ARE OUT OF THE HANDS OF BOTH CANDIDATES.

>> GOOD POINT.

WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THIS POLL, EARLY POLLINGS ARE TRICKY.

>> AT THIS STAGE YOU TALKED ABOUT THE METHODOLOGY, SAMPLE

SIZE, AND SO FORTH, DOESN'T ACCOUNT FOR THE ENTHUSIASM GAP

TOO WE ARE SEEING CLOSING SO RAPIDLY AMONG DEMOCRATIC

VOTERS.

WE HAVE SEEN A HUGE INCREASE IN VOTER TURNOUT AMONG

DEMOCRATS NATIONALLY.

WE HAVE SEEN IT IN ALBUQUERQUE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.

WE SAW IT DURING THE JUNE PRIMARY.

SO IT IS REALLY HARD TO GAUGE WHETHER OR NOT THIS IS GOING

TO BE THE REAL DEAL IN THE NEXT 60 DAYS.

>> LET ME ASK YOU AS A DEMOCRAT AT THE TABLE.

>> THE UNAVOWED.

>> I AM PROUD.

>> IS IT NOT BETTER FOR ALL DEMOCRATS WHEN YOU RUN A CLOSE

RACE, IS IT NOT JUST BETTER?

THERE IS A THING OUT THERE A FEW MONTHS AGO THAT SHE WAS A

SHOE IN FOR THIS THING.

>> THAT IS NOT ACCURATE EITHER.

YOU KNOW WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE HOUSE RACES AS WELL, WE

DON'T WANT TO TAKE ANYTHING FOR GRANTED.

HISTORICALLY, THOUGH, IN THE JOURNAL REFERENCE THE

PRESIDENT PARTY IS TYPICALLY NOT THE ONE THAT WINS DURING

HIS FIRST MIDTERM ELECTION SUCCEEDING HIS INAUGURATION.

SO IT IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY.

IT WAS 1926 CALVIN COOLIDGE, LAST TIME PRESIDENT'S PARTY

PICKED UP THE SAME SEATS IN THE HOUSE.

SO IT IS LIKELY BUT I DON'T THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, CONGRESS

WOMAN MICHELLE LUJAN GRISHAM IS A SHOE IN.

TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, YES, IT IS A GOOD THING FOR

DEMOCRATS SO WE CAN CONSOLIDATE THE BASE AND BE

ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT GETTING BEHIND HER, BUT I DON'T THINK

IT IS AS CLOSE AS THEY ARE SAYING IT IS.

>> IS IT CLOSE?

>> REALLY EARLY.

THERE ARE OTHER INDICATORS OUT THERE THAT MAYBE GIVE US A

BETTER SENSE.

ONE OF THEM IS THE SOMEWHAT RADICAL, AND I WOULD SAY

UNLAWFUL, POSITION THE SECRETARY OF STATE HAS TAKEN

THAT SHE CAN INSTITUTE STRAIGHT PARTY VOTING,

CONTRARY TO THE CHANGE IN LAW IN 2001, CONTRARY TO THE MANY

BILLS THAT HAVE BEEN RUN IN THE LEGISLATURE THAT HAVE DIED

TRYING TO REINSTATE IT. AND WE ARE GOING TO SEE THAT

LITIGATED BUT THAT TELLS ME THAT DEMOCRATS THINK THIS IS

TIGHT AND WHETHER OR NOT THE GOVERNOR'S RACE IS TIGHT I

DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT INTERNAL POLLING SAYS, BUT AFTER

SECRETARY OF STATE SAID SHE WAS GOING TO HOLD HEARINGS,

HELD OFF ON THIS UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE THAT IS A PRETTY

BIG STATEMENT.

>> WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS POLL?

IS THIS SOMETHING WE SHOULD TAKE SERIOUSLY.

WE ARE JUST BEFORE LABOR DAY AND EVERYTHING CHANGES

STARTING NEXT WEEK.

IT IS DIFFICULT.

>> I AM NOT OVERLY CONCERNED WITH IT.

I THINK IT WILL ALL SHAKE OUT AS THINGS GET CLOSER AND WE'LL

SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

I GUESS JUST ADDING ANOTHER COMMENT, I AM JUST HAPPY TO

SEE AN INDIAN WOMAN IN NEW MEXICO HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY

TO RUN. AND I THINK MY OWN BIAS IS

BECAUSE I LOVE MY GRANDMOTHER AND MY MOTHER AND WE NEED SOME

GOOD STRONG WOMEN.

>> WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THIS OVERALL SITUATION HERE IN NEW

MEXICO?

WE HAVE GOT GARY JOHNSON IS BACK IN THE PICTURE.

WE HAVE GOT -- YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN -- IN THE SENATE RACE.

IT IS INTERESTING.

>> IT IS FUN TO WATCH.

SPECIFICALLY, GARY JOHNSON.

HE HELPS PEOPLE LIKE JANICE ARNOLD JONES.

YVETTE HERRELL FOR CD1 AND 2, DOESN'T NECESSARILY HELP

PEARCE AT ALL.

I THINK, BUT, YOU KNOW, IT BRINGS REPUBLICANS AND

INDEPENDENT RIGHT LEANING A CHANCE TO BE ENGAGED IN THE

RACE.

GETS THEM OUT TO VOTE, BETWEEN THAT AND WHAT WAS MENTIONED

ABOUT THE STRAIGHT PARTY, THE STRAIGHT BALLOT,

THAT COULD BE A HUGE GAME CHANGER AND, YOU KNOW, I AM

NOT NECESSARILY A BIG FAN OF IT.

I THINK YOU LET PEOPLE DECIDE FOR THEMSELVES, YOU KNOW, JUST

CHECKING JUST ONE BUTTON.

IT PUTS EVERYBODY'S CAMPAIGNS TO SHAME, BECAUSE IT SAYS, YOU

KNOW WHAT, IT DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE WE ARE GOING TO FOCUS

ON ONE MENTALITY AND LET'S SEE WHO HAS THE MOST BALLOTS AT

THE END OF THE DAY. >> IS THIS A QUESTION OF

NOSTALGIA.

IT IS NOSTALGIC TO TALK ABOUT STRAIGHT PARTY VOTING.

IT SEEMED TO MAKE SENSE 20 OR 30 YEARS AGO.

>> YOU NEED TO MAKE VOTING AS EASY AS POSSIBLE FOR

EVERYBODY.

ANYBODY ELIGIBLE TO REGISTER TO VOTE.

THE BALLOT CAN BE INTIMIDATING.

WE HAVE SEEN STUDIES OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

THEY GO AND THEY EVEN SEE THE SAMPLE BALLOT AND IT IS LIKE,

A BALLOT, AND YOU SEE A WHOLE LOT OF DROP OFF DOWN BALLOT

AND THIS GIVES PEOPLE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN

DOWN BALLOT RACES.

SO I APPLAUD THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR DOING THIS, AND I

THINK IT IS ABOUT THE FRANCHISEMENT, MAKING VOTING

AS EASY AS POSSIBLE FOR THOSE ELIGIBLE.

>> YOU WANT PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR SOMEBODY THEY ACTUALLY

RESEARCHED OR KNOW AND IF YOU'RE JUST DOING, I DON'T

KNOW WHO TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THESE TWO PEOPLE, IF IT IS

PARTY, THEN, IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHO TO VOTE FOR, THEN DON'T

VOTE.

>> THEY ARE NOT.

IN MANY CASES.

>> I THINK IT DISCOURAGES PEOPLE FROM EVEN LOOKING AT

THE BALLOT.

YOU WOULD BE IN AND OUT -- I THINK WE ARE DUMBING IT DOWN.

>> HAVE A STRAIGHT PARTY BALLOT.

WOULD THAT BE OKAY FOR YOU?

>> I PULL A STRAIGHT PARTY VOTE BUT FROM A LEGAL

PERSPECTIVE.

THE TREND ACROSS THE COUNTRY IS TO ABANDON IT.

WE ELIMINATED IT IN 2001.

IT IS A LEGISLATIVE DECISION AND CERTAINLY, YOU KNOW, IF

LEGISLATORS WANT TO TAKE THAT UP, BUT IT IS NOT A SECRETARY

OF STATE DECISION.

>> TOUCH ON THAT.

THAT IS INTERESTING, WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT, IT IS ONE

PERSON'S DECISION.

SHE IS THE SECRETARY OF STATE BUT ARE WE BETTER OFF AS

ELECTORATE HAVING THIS SCHEME IN PLAY.

>> BASED ON WHAT I JUST HEARD, I THINK NOT.

>> I THINK NOT.

>> LEGAL ISSUES AND DIFFICULTIES.

>> RIGHT.

AND, YOU KNOW, I GUESS I WOULD BE CURIOUS TO KNOW WHAT THE

RESEARCH IS AS TO OTHER STATES AND WHY THEY HAVE CHOSEN TO

ABANDON THAT APPROACH.

>> PLUS, ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE A DECLINE OF THE STATE PARTY?

I MEAN BECAUSE YOU HAVE HAD, YOU KNOW, ENROLLMENT IN THE

DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND REPUBLICAN PARTY HAVE DROPPED

RESPECTIVELY AND THEY HAVE GONE TO THE MIDDLE, WHERE IS

THE DTS IN ALL OF THIS?

>> INDEPENDENTS, LIBERTARIANS AND GREENS.

>> SOCIALISTS AND COMMUNISTS.

>> RIGHT, ALL BUT THAT LAST ONE.

>> RIGHT?

>> GOOD POINT.

PEOPLE NEED REPRESENTATION.

LEGITIMATE REPRESENTATION NO MATTER WHAT THEY FEEL.

IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE TO GET ON THE BALLOT, YOU

DESERVE -- >> STRAIGHT PARTY TICKET

DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO VOTE.

PEOPLE STILL HAVE THE OPTION TO VOTE DOWN BALLOT AND TAKE

AS MUCH TIME AS THEY NEED TO RESEARCH THE CANDIDATES, TO

LOOK AT VOTING POTENTIALLY FOR SOMEBODY WHO IS AN INDEPENDENT

OR LIBERTARIAN.

IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN THAT IS THE ONLY MECHANISM ON

THE BALLOT MACHINE.

I THINK, IT IS JUST ANOTHER OPTION.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY HAVING ANOTHER OPTION IS SUCH A BAD

THING.

>> GOOD POINT TONIGHT ON ALL THE SUBJECTS.

APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.

ABSOLUTELY.

Old Argument Over Federal Support for Christianity Still Resonates | Heavy.com - Duration: 10:15.

Old Argument Over Federal Support for Christianity Still Resonates | Heavy.com

Since taking office, President Trump and his administration have strongly championed religious liberty, but only of a particular kind.

At this week's White House dinner for evangelical leaders, Trump emphasized that the U.S.

is a "nation of believers" and promised to protect religious liberty.

Trump's proposed policies reflect the political goals of conservative evangelicals.

At a summit last month, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced a new "Religious Liberty Task Force" in the Justice Department to protect "people of faith" from "unjust discrimination" in all areas of life.

Despite Sessions' inclusive reference to "people of faith," what was noteworthy was the presence of conservative Christians like Jack Phillips, the baker in the Masterpiece Cakeshop, who spoke at the summit.

Many critics have observed that demands for religious liberty do not extend to all religions, which prevents fair treatment.

Others have noted that greater protections might harm women and LGBT Americans.

I recognize the merits of these critiques.

However, largely absent from them is an equally powerful argument made over a century ago.

Back then, some evangelical Christians argued that demands for government protection for Christianity signaled that their religion had failed.

The decline of Protestant influence.

My research shows the late 19th century was a bad time for American Protestants.

Agnosticism and atheism became popular, especially among younger intellectuals.

Rising numbers of non-Protestant immigrants brought greater religious diversity.

These changes caused Protestants to lose the privileges they had enjoyed in public life, such as their control over many of the nation's academic institutions.

In one notable example, the school board in Cincinnati, Ohio, prohibited Bible reading in public schools.

Catholics had objected that schools used a Protestant translation of scripture and officials agreed.

The evangelical Protestant amendment.

Fearing similar cases, devout Protestants turned to the federal government.

They supported an amendment first proposed during the Civil War that would have placed the language of evangelical Protestantism in the Constitution.

The amendment sought to include references to God and Jesus in the Constitution.

It also declared the Bible "the supreme rule for the conduct of nations." This final point was at odds with Catholic teaching.

It made clear that the amendment was intended to placate only Protestants.

Supporters of the amendment had friends in high places.

William Strong, a justice on the Supreme Court, led a group advocating its passage.

Much like Jeff Sessions, Strong urged protection for Christianity in the public sphere.

The future of the religion was at stake.

The justice warned that the Constitution must be made "explicitly Christian." Otherwise, Christianity – specifically evangelical Protestantism – would be "obliterated" from the nation.

But other Protestants disagreed.

The religious critic.

Among them was Washington Gladden.

He was a minister who had grown up in a very devout family.

Though he would become a leading religious liberal, Gladden was well within the mainstream of American Protestantism at the height of debates about the constitutional amendment.

In the 1870s, Gladden had great influence as religious editor of the New York Independent, one of the most read U.S.

periodicals of the day.

The paper had strong religious credentials.

It proclaimed that in all its coverage it was "bound to the evangelical faith by the firm belief of its editors.".

The case against religious amendment.

That belief, however, did not include endorsing government support of Protestantism.

In his editorials, Gladden railed against the proposed amendment.

The state was "not called to the inculcation or confirmation of religious truth," he wrote.

Gladden invoked religious liberty – the same rhetoric President Trump and members of his administration have used to reassure modern evangelicals – to demand no special protection be made.

Citizens should expect "equal footing for their faith, no matter what it may be," rather than particular privilege.

Most boldly, Gladden argued that a religion that needed protection from government was a religion that had no reason to exist.

He wrote on his editorial page,.

"If our Christianity is of such a flimsy texture that nothing but a constitutional amendment will save it, the sooner it is obliterated the better for the land.

Simply put, he insisted, religious people had to make their own case for their values.

If they could not, they certainly did not deserve greater support.

This was a controversial argument in what was largely a Protestant country, but other Protestants amplified it.

Other Christian leaders came to see support for the amendment as a sign of weak faith.

A lesson for the Trump era?.

Despite the backing of powerful men like William Strong, the Christian amendment failed.

The nation's Protestant leaders never came together in support of it.

While the religious critique was not the sole cause the amendment's failure, Gladden's line of argument was powerful.

It shamed the amendment's supporters by arguing that their demands were antithetical not only to American values but to Christian ones as well.

Demands for government support only confirmed evangelical Christianity's impotence.

History suggests it is a rhetorical strategy that critics of the Trump administration's religious liberty policies might do well to revisit.
