Newlyweds' perception of their integration into their new family can be affected by the amount and type of information conveyed to them by their in-laws. Even when newlyweds in the United States report a positive relationship with their spouse's family, they prefer to look for emotional support from their own family, at least in the early years of marriage. Newlyweds may also discover previously unknown conflicts between their own beliefs. Research indicates that "interactions within households, as measured by years married, influence the rate of agreement between the partners", and therefore that "newlyweds are consistently less likely to agree on partisan choice than are older couples". Newlyweds often feel societal pressure to have children early in their marriage; this pressure extends to same-sex newlyweds. Sexual performance Newlyweds may also face sexual performance pressures, particularly in cultures where people are expected to refrain from sexual activity before marriage, and immediately after marriage to begin engaging in regular and mutually satisfying sex. In the Middle Ages, the Church was concerned that newlyweds would become obsessed with their new-found right to engage in sexual activity, to the point that the Church "pronounced that any sexual activity between newlyweds for the first three days was sinful and required absolution and penance". It has been found, however, that "married couples make love quite often during the first year or two, but after that, sexual frequency declines, slowly and steadily, over the years". Older newlyweds Although most newlyweds are relatively young, the status also applies to older people entering into late marriages or second marriages, possibly following a divorce or a period of widowhood.

A survey in 1940 found that there were well-established women's organizations fighting for repeal in Alabama, Arkansas and Tennessee. Another report, published by Bontecou in 1942, found that the majority of women who were able to vote in the South were widowed or single, implying the disenfranchisement of married women. The reports were distributed by the American Association of University Women to gain support for the abolition of the poll tax. Congressional hearings in 1948 heard evidence that in 1940, in the eight states requiring payment of a poll tax in order to register to vote, the total number of citizens eligible to register was 13.6 million, but only 3 million or 22 percent paid the poll tax. In 1942 (a non-presidential election year) only 828,000, 8 percent, actually voted. In 1946 it was 9 percent in the seven remaining poll tax states, compared with 13 percent in the four southern states which had repealed the poll tax and 47 percent in the non-poll tax states. In 1942, national legislation was proposed to abolish poll taxes and the women's reports were used in hearings. The bill, introduced by Florida Senator Claude Pepper, failed. Durr, Anthony II, and Lucy Randolph Mason participated in the hearings. Reports from Alabama women's groups were presented at the hearings by the National Women's Trade Union League to verify that low income and a consequent inability to pay the poll tax was in large part responsible for disenfranchising women. While five bills passed the house between 1942 and 1949 which would have banned paying to vote in federal elections, none of them managed to pass the Senate. The 1949 effort to abolish the tax was a key part of the civil rights platform of President Harry S. Truman and was supported and campaigned for by Congresswoman Mary Teresa Norton, chair of the Committee on House Administration. Pressure to "sell democracy to the Third World was seriously hampered by continuing racial injustice at home", causing changes in both foreign policy initiatives and civil rights initiatives undertaken by the govern ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Mar 2021 05:34:08 -0500 From: "Inside The Brain" Subject: This Is What Ear Ringing Does To Your Brain This Is What Ear Ringing Does To Your Brain http://powertrack.buzz/9-vBbmcO1arf1lRR4eDeMlLXtTIq0WsLa_XHAkoa_yix8pbw http://powertrack.buzz/qtciHP4nLhYO-_z5mjgDb3FPQUP5um7bh5fnRlx3Prf4h61Q rom the early 1930s, the Tennessee chapter of the League of Women Voters campaigned to abolish poll taxes. In 1939, the state League, led by women like Hazel Schaeffer and Violet Bray Lindsey, prepared a bill to repeal the tax and pushed for the state legislature to pass it. Three bills were introduced to the House that year, but each was referred to a legislative committee which took no action, and so all three failed. Two motions to work on a constitutional amendment were also proposed; one was tabled and the other failed for lack of a second. Two bills were also introduced that year in the Senate but never emerged from committee. Undeterred, the women, supported by the Davidson County Democratic Women, Tennessee Federation of Labor, and the state chapter of the Congress of Industrial Organizations, pressed for the measure again in 1941, but it was defeated in the Senate. State League of Women Voter members joined with the Industrial Council, the Tennessee Farm Bureau, the Tennessee State Grange, the YWCA, and 30 other civic and professional groups to found the Committee for Majority Rule. The goal of the group was to continue to press for the repeal of the poll tax; its officers were Jennings Perry, chair; Dorothy Stafford, eastern vice chair; Alton Lawrence, middle Tennessee vice chair; and Katharine Fulling, western vice chair. In 1943, the state League lobbied the Tennessee General Assembly to immediately take up a bill to repeal poll taxes. The Assembly passed legislation, but a suit was filed by the Polk County sheriff alleging that the repeal violated the state constitution. The Tennessee Supreme Court voided the newly passed law as unconstitutional, since the Tennessee Constitution provided that "all male citizens shall be liable to a poll tax." Based upon that decision, the state League of Women Voters began to press for a reform of the state constitution. In 1949, women activists pressed the legislature to pass a bill exempting women and veterans of both World Wars from paying poll taxes and secured the promise that a constitutional convention would be placed on the November ballot. In 1953 a constitutional amendment was passed abolishing the poll tax as a prerequisite to voting, and changing the state constitution to formally allow women to vot ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Mar 2021 02:13:19 -0500 From: "View Fore closureHomes" Subject: Foreclosure Home Listings Foreclosure Home Listings http://eyefloters.buzz/LXE9br6y2bAm2QkC-7ErvcJgzjPIIBsFMPBW2ePHblaWQnQV http://eyefloters.buzz/taiWtNy0B0htHFTJuwB4zSyqBQj-kmwGOwnD8RV9Z2hMww6N ognized by a state, an organization, a religious authority, a tribal group, a local community, or peers. It is often viewed as a contract. It usually creates normative or legal obligations between the individuals involved, and any offspring they may produce or adopt. When a marriage is performed by a religious institution, it is a religious marriage. Religious marriage recognizes and creates the rights and obligations intrinsic to matrimony in the eyes of that religion. Religious marriage is known variously as sacramental marriage in Catholicism, nikah in Islam, nissuin in Judaism, and various other names in other faith traditions, each with their own constraints as to what constitutes, and who can enter into, a valid religious marriage. When a marriage is performed and carried out by a government institution in accordance with the marriage laws of the jurisdiction, without religious content, it is a civil marriage. Civil marriage recognizes and creates the rights and obligations intrinsic to matrimony in the eyes of the state. Some countries do not recognize locally performed religious marriage on its own, and require a separate civil marriage for official purposes. Conversely, civil marriage does not exist in some countries governed by a religious legal system, such as Saudi Arabia, where marriages contracted abroad might not be recognized if they were contracted contrary to Saudi interpretations of Islamic religious law. In countries governed by a mixed secular-religious legal system, such as Lebanon and Israel, locally performed civil marriage does not exist within the country, which prevents interfaith and various other marriages that contradict religious laws from being entered into in the country; however, civil marriages performed abroad may be recognized by the state even if they conflict with religious laws.

The Women's Division of the Democratic National Committee, led by Mary Dewson and Eleanor Roosevelt, was concerned about the impact of the Depression and its consequences on women's ability to pay to vote. In the 1940s, the National Committee to Abolish the Poll Tax was the primary organization working on national legislation, until its demise in 1948 when many of its members and supporters were investigated during the Red Scare fueled by McCarthyism. As was typical for the time, the organization was led and run by women who worked under male figureheads. When by the late 1940s federal legislative action had repeatedly failed, focus changed on the issue. Thereafter, nationally, the push was to pass a federal constitutional amendment banning poll taxes as a prerequisite for voting in federal elections, which was successful in 1964 with the ratification of the Twenty-fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Pressure on individual state legislatures continued through the 1960s. While individuals and groups attempted to sway legislators, many women turned to the courts after Breedlove. Though some had success with their suits, and were awarded damages, poll tax as a prerequisite for voting had effectively prevented them from participating, as by the time their cases were heard, the elections were over. None of the suits resulted in overturning state law until the civil rights movement pushed for the passage of reforms, including the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Under the authority of this act, the Department of Justice was able to institute federal lawsuits against the states that still had local statutes that were excessively discriminatory in disenfranchising voters, by challenging their constitutionality. The matter was finally resolved, after a four-decades long struggle, by the U.S. Supreme Court in the decision handed down in Harper v.

The federal Expatriation Act of 1907, which automatically changed a woman's citizenship upon marriage to that of her spouse, compounded the problem of racial identity. American-born women who married foreigners became citizens of their husband's country and lost their entitlement to vote. Men could vote if they filed an affidavit that they had an intention of acquiring U.S. citizenship, but unless their husbands were citizens, women could not vote, regardless of their husband's intent to become a citizen. Women in these cases were required to provide a copy of their marriage license and their husband's naturalization papers, since they had no individual nationality. After World War I, legislation such as the Thomason Law and the alien suffrage law of 1918, which restricted voting to citizens, curtailed the participation of women, as well as black and immigrant groups, because prospective voters who had been citizens for at least twenty-one years, were over age sixty-five, or were disabled could receive assistance even if they were illiterate. The federal Immigration Acts of 1921 and 1924 were passed to stem concerns that white authority was dwindling and in effect extended segregation from blacks to other non-Anglo populations, creating separate public facilities for other non-white groups. Before World War I, Latina women were considered to be white, but after these laws were passed Hispanic voters were excluded from white primaries. Activists registering voters argued that they would have to redouble their efforts in areas that were predominantly Anglo in order to prevent voter registration in areas with large Mexican-American populations from overwhelming the Anglo vote. Poll taxes disenfranchised Mexican Americans because their low wages made payment of the tax a hardship. Lulu B. White, president of the Houston chapter of the NAACP in the 1930s and state director of the organization in the 1940s, worked for anti-poll tax initiatives and held rallies against poll taxes, as part of her civil rights platform. During World War II, the issue of poll taxes took a backseat to the war effort, although activists like Eugenie Terry, the local representative for the American Association of University Women, worked to keep momentum for repeal alive. The state chapter of the League of Women's Voters, along with other women's organizations, supported electoral amendments proposed in 1949, which allowed voters to cast ballots anonymously and would have eliminated the poll tax as a prerequisite to voting. The measure failed, but efforts began again in 1963 and once again the League of Women Voters campaigned for the elimination of the system of paying to vote. The attempt was unsuccessful, and the poll tax system remained in effect until February 9, 1966, when a federal three-judge panel declared that it violated the Due Process Clause of the United States Constitution. Though the state law requiring payment of poll taxes in order to vote was rendered void by the decision, and the legislature passed a resolution that year to abolish it, the amendment was not formally approved until 2009, when it was reintroduced by Congresswoman Alma Alle ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V14 #6103 **********************************************
