Public Affairs Report: January 2000 1, January 2000. Black Elected Officials Can teach Whites Too many police forces have stayed intact despite the election of a black mayor for this type of http://www.igs.berkeley.edu/publications/par/Jan2000/Hajnal.html
Extractions: Black Elected Officials Can Teach Whites Zoltan Hajnal, UCSD Two questions have commanded the attention of scholars interested in black representation. Will whites vote for blacks? And does black representation improve economic well-being in the black community? Although both are of vital importance in assessing the potential impact of black representation, they ignore a compelling aspect of black representation, namely its effect on the white community. Zoltan Hajnal Four lessons can be drawn from this study. First, black representation does matter. Previous research has bemoaned the fact that black representation has not resolved the crises of black poverty, educational inequality, crime, and unemployment, and scholars have interpreted this as a sign of ineffectiveness. But the "politics as usual" that occurs under black representation can have an enormously positive impact on white Americans. Black representation may not end racial inequality but it does lead to a fundamental change in the white vote and in the racial sentiments expressed by at least part of the white electorate. This transformation suggests that many white Americans clearly do respond to changes in the racial environment. As new information about black Americans emerges, the views of many white Americans are apt to change. This is not to say that white Americans don't hold racial stereotypes, it is simply to point out that many white Americans are not blind and resolute on matters of race. Change is possible.

Extractions: Kelley Ross for State Assembly; the results of November 7, 2000, are: District 40: 100.0% (188 of 188) precincts reporting as of 2:29 PM December 2, 2000 * Bob Hertzberg Democrat 70,463 70.3 Kyle Hammans Republican 22,808 22.7 Kelley L. Ross Libertarian Not much has changed here from previous elections except that the Democrats get increased majorities. Hertzberg went to 59% in 1996 to 68.8% in 1998 and now to 70.3%. The LA Times seems to be correct in this respect, that California is drifting to the Left. Hopefully they will be sufficiently emboldened to go ahead and turn the State into Cuba, then, when the economy tanks, people will think better of this. As it is, this seems to be a continuing trend from the 90's, that the electorate gets drawn back more and more strongly to the failed devices of socialism. I actually got a few more votes than in 1996, but the total as a percentage has declined. Return Our Excellent 2000 Candidates for President and Vice-President: HARRY BROWNE

Extractions: Rebuttal to Argument in Favor of Proposition 17 Arguments on this page are the opinions of the authors and have not been checked for accuracy by any official agency. We teach our children that there is a RIGHT WAY and a WRONG WAY to do everything. The same is true with ideas for new laws. Proposition 17 is the WRONG WAY to operate charitable raffles and lotteries. Proposition 17 is a professional gambling operator's dream hiding behind an ill-conceived "law and order" smoke screen. For more than a decade, special interests have repeatedly attempted to muscle this scheme through the Legislature and onto the ballot. This year the special interests won with the politicians, placing Proposition 17 on the ballot. DON'T BELIEVE promises of future legislation to regulate raffles. The politicians could have done that a year ago, but DIDN'T. And they WON'T. Protections and controls ARE NOT in Proposition 17. Proposition 17 allows PHONY charities, scams and swindles to EXPLOIT honest people.

Palm Beach Canvassing Commission Bush v. Palm Beach and the second round, Bush v. Gore Bush v. Gore as garden variety equal protection case. You have to teach it as something more momentous, more about the relationship between the court and the political process, something closer to teaching about Brown v. Board [of Education] Sullivan said that, as a casebook author, she would place Bush v. Gore In addition to developing a deep appreciation for how the courts work, Sullivan pointed out a second positive outcome of the case: the development of the private, bipartisan National Commission on Federal Election Reform. She was recently appointed, along with former Senator Slade Gorton of Washington, as one of the vice chairs of the commission. ( See NewsBriefs Sullivan said she got involved in the election reform movement by way of writing an op-ed in the New York Times The coincidence of the furor over the election, the op-ed piece, and the board meeting provided the impetus needed for the foundation to became one of the major sponsors of this private election reform commission, Sullivan said.

The Constitution of the United States originally endowed the right to vote to property-owning white men. Alterations to the Constitution eventually allowed women, African-Americans, and citizens over the age of 18 to participate in this patriotic display of one's beliefs. With the advent of voting, however, media, society, and politicians began to introduce voters to political propaganda, which influenced people's decisions on who to choose for their local, state and federal governmental positions.

The Ambassadors added that one way to improve this type of strategy in the future would be for the US Administration to articulate from the outset the final goals of the engagement and identify concrete steps for compliance. On a final note, both Indyk and Walker believe that the new approach has been very effective and extend credit to the George W. Bush Administration for seeing this unusual policy to its conclusion. Assertions and opinions in this policy brief are solely those of the above mentioned speaker(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Middle East Institute, which expressly does not take positions on Middle East policy.

Extractions: Former Dean campaign manager Joe Trippi took Internet campaigning to a whole new level, and, in the process, catapulted the obscure ex-governor of Vermont to front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination. Trippi used the Internet to raise over $40 million in small donations, and to marshal a committed, decentralized corps of volunteer campaign workers. Dean may no longer be in the lead, but the political process will never be the same. Trippi will tell the story of how he used the Internet to change the rules of the game.

Extractions: Challenge the system. By COURTNEY POTTS Around 75 students gathered in Uris Auditorium for yesterday's Teach-In held by Democracy Matters. The event, entitled "Is our Democracy Accountable to the People?," dealt mainly with the issue of campaign finance reform. It featured short talks by four panelists followed by questions from the audience. The four panelists included Dr. Joan Mandle, executive director of Democracy Matters; Prof. Richard Baer, natural resources; Prof. Walter Mebane, government; and Prof. Theodore Lowi, the John L. Senior Professor of American Institutions. Each spoke for roughly seven minutes. Lowi began the discussion by asking exactly who "the people" were. He mentioned three forces of accountability: "mass power," "group power," and "power by numbers." These represent popular opinion, special interest groups and actual electorates. The problem of accountability arises from conflicts between these groups. "We want [the politicians] accountable, and we think they ought to be accountable to people who help get them elected, but that conflicts with their accountability to their district," Lowi said. His position was that the main problems were campaign contributions from sources outside of the represented area, districts that were too diverse to be easily represented as a group, and party politics.

Yet with all we have learned and with all thats been written, mans wisdom is still impotent to answer lifes most basic spiritual questions like: How did we get here? Where do I go when I die? What is the meaning of life? Read more about what John has to say. Our world thinks the unchanging biblical standard for women is outdated. However, a look at the growing numbers of mothers, wives, and single women who fully live by Gods design for their lives shows that complete fulfillment is possible. In Gods Design for a Successful Woman , John MacArthur uses Hannah and the Proverbs 31 Woman as the mirror against which every Christian woman must stand and face herself. This is Gods design and only He can produce such a woman. She is the ideal every man should desire and every woman should desire to be. Also available on CD
