Jamaica - The Politics of the Times

My love and interest in politics started early on when I was in high school.  I followed that interest to college and majored in Political Science.  Now when I travel for any of my international presentations, I take an interest in the politics of the visited country. 

During my visit to Jamaica, one of the political parties was holding its 73rd Annual Conference.  And, I was able to observe some of its proceedings.  Like the U.S., there are 2 dominate political parties; the Jamaica Labour Party and the People's National Party.  A former colleague of mine who is from Jamaica and was also a political science major, has held a significant post during the People's National Party's prior administration.

It will be interesting to follow Jamaica's upcoming election since visiting this beautiful country as a specialist speaker.  Contact us at http://www.ythlaw.com/ for all your estate planning needs.    

Geraldine Ferraro - A Legacy of Politics

My undergraduate degree was in Political Science. I have had an interest in politics since 7th grade when I ran for Treasurer of our Student Government Association. Though I was not successful in my very first bid, I did win the next year when I ran for President of our Student Government Association. So I watch with real interest when women bid for the highest offices in our country. Geraldine Ferraro's selection as Walter Mondale's Democratic running mate in the 1984 presidential election is part of her tremendous legacy, despite an unsuccessful campaign. Her vice presidential bid, the first for a woman on a major party ticket, emboldened women across the country to seek public office and helped lay the groundwork for Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential candidacy in 2008 and John McCain's choice of his running mate, Sarah Palin, that year.
