Subject: IMPORTANT SWIMMING MEMO AND PITT ENTRY INSTRUCTIONS
BOTH THIS MEMO AND THE SWIM ENTRY INSTRUCTIONS ARE ALSO ATTACHED. PLEASE SHARE IMMEDIATELY WITH YOU COACHES, ATHLETES AND PARENTS.
I am requesting your assistance in accurately communicating the instructions for purchasing tickets for this weekend's WPIAL Swimming Championships at the University of Pittsburgh on Friday, February 20, and Saturday, February 21, 2015. As indicated on the attached previously sent entry instructions, the University of Pittsburgh will be using the Fitzgerald Field House for University events making the Field House unavailable. In an attempt to accurately inform those interested in attending, we have delineated entry instructions established by the University in an attempt to avoid confusion and needless waiting in cold weather.
Currently there is some confusion that I would like to address. The attached memorandum is designed to inform everyone so that no one arrives too early and needlessly stands outside in the cold. The University will open the doors to Trees Hall at 6:00 AM so that those interested in purchasing tickets may wait in line INSIDE until the ticket window opens at 7:30 am. This is an identical process to years past. The confusion is that in previously years, even though the same identical process was in place, those arriving prior to 6:00 am were able to gain entry into the Field House EVEN THOUGH ENTRY WAS NOT AUTHORIZED BY THE UNIVERSITY. The University staff, arrived as planned at 6:00 am and, had to adjust to lines of individuals waiting inside. This was not a University approved or planned process.
The attached memorandum is again designed to provide notification that, as in years past, the building (Trees Hall this year) will not be opened until 6:00 am. At 6:00 am the staff will open the building so that those who arrive at 6:00 will be admitted so that they may wait in line to purchase the ticket and remain inside until the pool doors are opened. We are very fortunate and grateful to the University of Pittsburgh for proving our athletes an opportunity to compete in an outstanding venue. In years past, everyone has been admitted; and I fully anticipate the same to occur this year.
We are simply asking for cooperation in adjusting to the purchasing of tickets in a new building. Think you for your efforts to assist. PLEASE COMMUNICATE THIS TO YOUR STUDENT ATHLETES & PARENTS.
Attachment

She was the driving force behind pushing America into the middle of Libya's civil war -- without approval from Congress or the American people. Hillary's actions have made Libya a Jihadist wonderland. There are Jihadists everywhere, and the civil war rages on. The American people deserve better, Mark. That's why I'm hoping you'll sign your "Say 'NO!' to Hillary" Mandate right away. When I asked Hillary Clinton why she ignored multiple requests from U.S. officials begging for additional security in a war zone, I knew she was hiding something. I've said for over a year now that Hillary Clinton took us to war in Libya under false pretenses. She told the American people mass casualties were "imminent" without immediate and unilateral U.S. military action in Libya. Now defense intelligence officials are rebuking Hillary's comments by saying she made false claims to sell the war to the American people. I wish I were joking. But Hillary Clinton's false claims and reckless actions have pushed chunks of North Africa and the Middle East into chaos, jeopardized America's national security, and contributed to the rise of ISIS and their allies. Hillary Clinton was the loudest cheerleader for sending arms to so-called "moderate rebels" in Libya and Syria -- reports say at least 600 tons of weapons were shipped to rebel forces in 2013 alone. Many of these weapons have fallen into the hands of ISIS and other radical Islamic extremists. Thanks to Hillary Clinton, I'm afraid America and our allies are now fighting against our very own weapons. This failure of leadership disqualifies Hillary Clinton from ever holding higher office. Even the Accountability Review Board, led by officials handpicked by Hillary Clinton to investigate Benghazi, reported Hillary's efforts in Benghazi were a "systemic failure." You and I both know that won't stop Hillary from doing everything in her power to seek higher office. Her lust for power is endless. That's why grassroots conservatives like you and I must stop Hillary before it's too late by taking a stand right now and sending her a loud-and-clear message: "NO!" If you agree, please sign your "Say 'NO!' to Hillary" Mandate right away. http://www.randpac.us/SAY-NO-TO-HILLARY-Mandate There's not a moment to waste. Your immediate support is needed more than ever. Thank you for your continued action. In Liberty, Rand Paul |

Immediate Action Reqested...Voters' Choice Act reintroduced into the PA Senate soon!
The Pennsylvania Ballot Access Coalition has drafted a Voters' Choice Act (VCA) to address Pennsylvania's electoral problems. PBAC is currently seeking sponsors and supporters for this legislation. This legislation has not yet been introduced in the legislature, and you can help change that. PBAC has hand-delivered the VCA to all legislators' Harrisburg offices and has contacted all legislators' offices by phone. PBAC is asking all legislators to return a questionnaire on their level of support for the VCA.
White paper including the Act -- this is the document in legislators' hands.
Brochure on the Voters' Choice Act -- suitable for handing out to neighbors, etc.
The Voters' Choice Act (VCA) will give greater freedom of choice to the Pennsylvania voter by making it much less difficult for independent and third party candidates to get on the November ballot. The VCA changes the way a third party is legally defined. Instead of requiring a third party's existence to be determined by how well a Democrat or Republican did in the last election, under the Voters' Choice Act a third party would be legally recognized once it has at least 0.05% of the total number of voters in Pennsylvania registered in their party. This is the way our neighboring state of Delaware legally defines a third party. Following this model, candidates from third parties, like the two old parties, would have no signature requirement to have their names placed on the November ballot.
As for independent candidates, instead of having to obtain over 67,000 signatures on their nominating petitions in order to appear on the statewide ballot in 2006, independents would only be required to collect the same 2,000 signatures that the candidates from the two old parties need to get into their primary.
Very, very accurate and true. And I'm on top of it (I think), as you know. I plan to be there to speak at the bill's introduction rally. I've already been in touch with Wolf's transition team about getting it on his agenda—successfully, I must add. And more.
You're on the PBAC. Let's both keep an eye out for opportunities.

No matter how we do it, collecting nominating petition sigs is going to be a very significant drain on the K18 campaign.
Senator Folmer is going to re-introduce the Voters' Choice Act soon in the PA Senate. Since he will also be the chair of the State Gov't Committee, we are guaranteed that the VCA will get a public hearing and probably will get voted out of committee for a Senate vote. Preliminary indications are that Governor Wolf might even sign the thing if it makes it to his desk. It might be that the planets are properly aligned so that chances of getting the VCA passed this legislative session are better than they have ever been.
Passing the VCA would be a huge benefit to K18, as well as being a continuing game-changing benefit into the future. I think working on getting the VCA passed this session is working on K18, as long as we think there is a reasonable probability that it can become law.

Sudden cardiac arrest is one of the leading causes of death in the U.S. Over 350,000 people will suffer from sudden cardiac arrest this year. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere and at any age. An AED is the only effective treatment for restoring a regular heart rhythm during sudden cardiac arrest and voice prompts help guide a responder on steps to follow. Time is of the essence: · The average response time for first responders once 911 is called is 8-12 minutes. · For each minute defibrillation is delayed, the chance of survival is reduced approximately 10%, i.e., if you defibrillate at the 3 minute mark after collapse you have about a 70 % chance of survival, if you defibrillate at the 7 minute mark after collapse you have about a 30 % chance of survival, at the 10 minute mark after collapse you have about a 0 % chance of survival). The survival rate for just calling 911 is about a 5 % chance of survival or 1 out of 20.
If you are not in need of an AED, would you please consider forwarding this email to a business associate at another company or pass on a contact phone/e-mail so I could contact directly. This small gesture could help us reach our revenue goals and prepare for future disasters.
If you have any questions, or to place an order please just call/e-mail me.
Thank you for your support and consideration.
