islature reconvened in 1786 it rejected henry s proposal but madison s petition had been so persuasive the legislature also brought up a proposal thomas jefferson had made six years earlier and passed into law the virginia statue for religious freedom this was a great victory for madison and for virginia he celebrated by convening a convention to settle disputes between virginia and maryland about navigation on the chesapeake bay having reflected on the nature of this issue a dispute between colonies madison had sought advice from others having the same problems such as new york and new jersey in that effort he got the support of a new yorker working on the same problems alexander hamilton in the course of these discussions madison thought it clear that the difficulty lay with the form of government that bound the colonies together under the articles of confederation hamilton agreed and they got their respective states and conferences to agree to meet in philadelphia in 1787 to try to fix those problems since i first wrote this i ve learned that it was george washington s desire to get a federal government to facilitate the settling of the ohio river valley where washington had several thousands of acres to sell that prompted him to push madison into the annapolis convention and who made the introduction between madison and washington s old aide and friend alexander hamilton madison s work with washington runs much deeper than i orignally saw amending the articles of confederation was a doomed effort many thought the colonies would go their separate ways no longer bound by the need to hang together against the parliament of england perhaps george washington could have got a council together to propose a new system but washington had stayed out of these debates washington s model for action was the roman general cincinnatus who went from his plow to lead the romans to victory then returned to his farm and finding his plow where he had left it took it up again madison invited washington and persuaded washington to attend washington was elected president of the convention and in retrospect that election guaranteed that whatever the convention produced the colonies would pay attention to it you know that history too the convention quickly decided the articles of confederation were beyond repair instead they wrote a new charter for a new form of government the charter was based in part on jefferson s virginia plan with lots of modifications because the constitution resembles so much the blueprint that jefferson had written and because jefferson was a great founder many americans believe jefferson was a guiding light at that philadelphia convention it s often good to reflect that jefferson was in paris the entire time while america remembers the thunder of washington s presiding franklin s timely contributions and jefferson s ideas it was madison who did the heavy lifting who got washington and franklin to attend the meeting madison had set up and got jefferson s ideas presented and explained it was madison who decided in late august of 1787 that the convention could not hang together long enough to create a bill of rights and instead got approval for the basic framework of the u s government in virginia a few months later while patrick henry thundered against what he described as a power grab by a new government it was madison who assembled the coalitions that got the constitution ratified by the virginia ratifying convention and when even jefferson complained that a constitution was dangerous without a bill of rights it was madison who first calmed jefferson then promised that one of the first actions of the new government would be a bill of rights he delivered on that promise as a member of the house of representatives in 1789 it is difficult to appreciate just how deeply insinuated into the creation of america was james madison in big ways and small he made america work he took the lofty ideas of jefferson and made them into laws that are still on the books unamended and unedited more than 200 years later when the ratification battle was won when madison had won election to the house over patrick henry s strong objection partly by befriending the man henry had picked to defeat madison james monroe madison could have savored the moment and been assured a place in history james madison in 1804 by gilbert stuart colonial williamsburg foundation williamsburg virginia gift of mrs george s robbins that s not what a lightning bolt does journeying to new york for the opening of the first congress and the inauguration of washington as president madison stopped off at mount vernon to visit with washington apparently at washington s request in what was a few hours really madison wrote washington s inaugural address while there at mount vernon madison stumbled into a discussion by several others on their way to new york wondering what high honorific to apply to the new president excellency was winning out over your highness until washington turned to madison for an opinion madison said the president should be called simply mr president we still do once in new york madison saw to the organizing of the congress then to the organizing of the inauguration and upon hearing washington s inauguration address which madison had ghosted remember congress appointed madison to write the official congressional response years later in washington madison engineered the candidacy of thomas jefferson for president and after jefferson was elected madison had the dubious honor as secretary of state of lending his name to the supreme court case that established the supreme court as the arbiter of what is constitutional under our scheme of government in marbury v madison wherever there was action needed to make this government work it seemed there was james madison providing the spark james madison was the lightning behind the thunder of the founding of america we should be grateful that he lived when he did where he did for we all share the fruits of the freedoms he worked to obtain and in this thanksgiving season let us look for appropriate ways to honor his work james madison 1829 portrait by chester harding montpelier house billy hathorn in 1829 madison came out of retirement to attend a convention for revising virginia s constitution while there he posed for this portrait by the massachusetts painter chester harding the madisonian model of thoughtful reflection leading to action is one that is solidly established in psychological research it is the model for leadership taught in business schools and military academies i would compare religious liberty to a mighty oak tree under which we might seek shade on a hot summer day from which we might draw wood for our fires to warm us in winter or lumber to build great and strong buildings that big oak we enjoy began its life long before ours we enjoy its shade because someone earlier planted the seed we enjoy our freedoms today because of men like james madison how do we give thanks as we pass around the turkey to our family our friends we would do well to reflect on the freedoms we enjoy and how we got them finally remembering that someone had to plant those seeds we need to ask what seeds must we plant now for those who will come after us we can demonstrate our being grateful for the actions of those who came before us by giving to those who come after us something more to be grateful for a life like madison s is a rarity improving on the freedoms he gave us might be difficult preserving those freedoms seems to me a solemn duty however speaking out to defend those freedoms is an almost tangible way to thank james madison and as fate would have it there is plenty of material to speak out about a postcard to your senators and representative giving your reasoned views on the re introduction of the istook amendment might be timely now with america s attention turned overseas for a moment people have adopted patrick henry s tactic of trying to undo religious freedom during the distraction i have had a lot of fun and done some good i hope in our local school system by asking our sons science and biology teachers what they plan to teach about evolution whatever they nervously answer and they always nervously answer that question i tell them that i want them to cover the topic fully and completely and if they have any opposition to that i would be pleased to lend my name to a suit demanding it be done we might take a moment of reflection to ponder our views about a proposed texas moment of silence bill to be introduced and then let our state representatives have our thoughts on the issue do you need inspiration turn to james madison s writings in laying out his 15 point defense of religious freedom in 1785 madison wrote that separation of church and state is essential to our form of government the preservation of a free government requires not merely that the metes and bounds which separate each department of power be invariably maintained but more especially that neither of them be suffered to overleap the great barrier which defends the rights of the people how can we express our gratitude for such a foundation for religious liberty let loose a few lightning bolts in remembrance of madison copyright 2001 and 2006 by ed

fellow cdc epidemic intelligence service officers i have never felt so intimidated by my peers the best and the brightest they were star clinicians had served in disaster zones md phds and msf 2 we were placed at various centers throughout cdc learning from the world s experts in tuberculosis mosquito borne diseases food borne diseases and some of us were placed with state local health departments to be on the front lines of outbreak response 3 in my first day on the job i got into a city sanitation car to investigate an outbreak of bloody diarrhea at a state psychiatric facility my boss has served in the eis her boss the legendary head of the nyc bureau of communicable disease had also our commissioner too 4 over the next 24 months we got intensive training in epidemiology public health informatics statistics but we also went to the bedside the logo of the eis is a shoe with a hole on it to me the worn out shoe perfectly encapsulated the spirit of humility and service 5 i investigated outbreaks of listeria that was causing deaths in cancer patients and pus filled abscesses in stillborn children we found and recalled the contaminated hot dogs and innovated new genomic methods for identifying outbreaks faster 6 i traced an outbreak of vibrio a cousin of the bacteria that causes cholera to oysters harvested in long island sound that had become contaminated in 77 degree august waters and put in a stop order that broke the outbreak 7 i was the officer on duty when a child was bitten by a bat that might have been rabid i was on call for clusters of salmonella church and mosque potlucks hepatitis outbreaks among restaurant goers and more i was on vacation when birds started dying in a bronx zoo 8 there was also a cluster of cases of fever and encephalopathy in queens many died we sent biopsies and blood tests to the only lab in the country that could diagnose what was going on west nile virus the lab and the scientists proudly wore a cdc badge so did i 9 this was the first time that virus had ever been seen in the new world and birds especially crows had fallen dead in piles in queens before the human cases they had no immunity we developed a methodology to use statistical clustering to identify the spread of the virus 10 cdc s experts had investigated west nile in romania and other arboviral illnesses throughout the world so when the outbreak came to our shores they could advise the local health department my fellow eis officers helped me go door to door in queens drawing blood 11 west nile was the biggest public health response i had seen until 9 11 i came out of the subway at chambers wtc to go to work shortly after the second plane hit i didn t go home til dawn broke the next day through streets filled with white ash and the burnt stench 12 some of the only planes that flew on sept 12 carried eis officers from around the country to nyc to help we were worried about a biterrorist attack and rapidly set up a system that collected symptom data around the clock from patients coming into emergency departments 13 that rudimentary manual system staffed by humans public health workers morphed into syndromic surveillance that analyzed electronic ed and hospital triage data to detect illness clusters a system that s become a third pillar of public health surveillance today 14 and then a month later we did have a bioterrorist attack weapons grade anthrax through the mail i saw my first coal black anthrax eschar then and in a hospitalized baby the second and worried that i might carry the spores home to our baby too but we kept working 15 those were some of my memories of my years spent at the eis with some of the brightest and hardest working colleagues i ve ever had many went on to lead their divisions at cdc to become state health officers and city epidemiologists led international orgs and now 16 when you hear the cdc s epidemic intelligence servic...
