(like numerous people I loved Hulu's take on "The Handmaid's Tale." I wanted to see how such a story could actually come about, though. That led to the creation of this thread.)

"Florida-native and former beauty queen Donna Rice was found dead last night in her home. Medical reports indicate that she suffered a massive heart attack in her sleep. The viewing will be held at Mark's Funeral Home on Saturday, June 14th from 1-5pm."- Miami Herald Obituary Section (Wednesday, June 11th, 1986)

"Friends this country has suffered for the past eight years. We have lived with an administration that cares more for helping the super-wealthy instead of those who slip between the cracks. We have had portions of the population be told that the disease outbreak they deal with on a daily basis does not matter and cannot be helped by the government. With a Kennedy White House that all changes. That is why I am proud to announce my candidacy for President of the United States."- Excerpt from Massachusetts Senator Edward Moore "Ted" Kennedy's Presidential announcement speech (April 7th, 1987)

"Attention: Effective Immediately the organization known as the Moral Majority ceases to exist. All employees and resources will be shifted towards growing the National Interfaith Alliance (NIA)"- Memo by Reverend Jerry Falwell to all employees of the Moral Majority (June 1st, 1987)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The Reverend Jerry Falwell and renowned televangelist Pat Robertson announced today the formation of the National Interfaith Alliance. Falwell and Robertson stated that the goal of the organization is to spread God's word in all forms across the U.S. Unlike Falwell's previous organization, The Moral Majority, the NIA will be open to members of all religions that pay homage to God. When asked what role the NIA was expected to play in national politics during the 1988 election, both Falwell and Robertson refused to comment."- New York Times article announcing the creation of the National Interfaith Alliance (June 4th, 1987)
