You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.234.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:36, 2 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Joanie Caucus''' is a fictional character in [[Garry Trudeau]]'s comic strip ''[[Doonesbury]]''.

She first appeared in September 1972 in which she has a fight with her husband, Clinton, over her rights as a woman. She finds that her recently acquired [[feminism|feminist]] beliefs clash with his idea of how a wife should behave, and she promptly walks out on him and her two children. She catches a ride with [[Mike Doonesbury]] and [[Mark Slackmeyer]], who happen to be traveling cross-country on motorcycle at the time, and travels with them back to Walden Commune.

There she spends several years living with the other characters while running a day-care service for local children (whose parents often aren't too thrilled when their little girls come home talking about [[Women's Rights]]). While running Walden Day Care, Caucus sends off applications to several real-life law schools (whose actual students petitioned the schools to accept her as a student). She eventually accepts an offer from [[Boalt Hall]] for the class of 1977,<ref>((cite news

After becoming a lawyer, Joanie spends many years working for Congresswoman [[Lacey Davenport]], and marries [[Rick Redfern]], a reporter with the ''[[Washington Post]]''. She also reconnects with her daughter [[J.J. (Doonesbury)|J.J.]], whom she hasn't seen since leaving her family. Joanie feels intensely guilty over this, but she and J.J. eventually reconcile.

Joanie later works for the Justice Department, is an aide during the [[Bill Clinton|Clinton Presidency]], and has since gone into private practice. In the 1980s she gives birth to [[Jeff Redfern]] while in [[Lamaze]] class.

Joanie is one of the more down to earth characters of the strip. She had an almost maternal relationship with the others at the commune, and appears to have moderate political beliefs. She works for Davenport despite the fact that Lacey is a [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] and Joanie is a [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democrat]], considering that Lacey's upstanding character is more important than her politics.

On March 3, 1974, Joanie, applying to law school, gives her birthdate as July 21, 1935<ref>((cite web|last=Trudeau|first=Gary|title=Doonesbury Strip, March 3, 1974|url=http://doonesbury.slate.com/strip/archive/1974/3/3))</ref> but in a January 2009 appearance, Joanie describes herself as a 70-year-old retired civil servant born in 1938. She and Rick Redfern still live in Washington DC.

Starting in the fall 2011 Joanie  worked as volunteer coordinator for the real-live candidate [[Elizabeth Warren]]'s campaign to unseat [[Massachusetts]] Senator [[Scott Brown (politician)|Scott Brown]].  On Feb. 6, 2013, Joanie points out to Rick that her granddaughter's pregnancy means that Joanie's going to be a great-grandmother.<ref>((citation
