You Are Here: Home Press Kit In The News ASHLAND TIMES-GAZETTE Wednesday, March 26, 1997 Speaker discusses political trends By Tim Busbey Times-Gazette Staff Writer The political party that can combine vision and relatability will be the one to lead us into the next millennium, according to David Zanotti. The Ohio Roundtable and Ohio Freedom Forum were founded in 1980. In 1986, Zanotti was elected to serve as president of the two state-based public policy organizations. He also Serves as the national chairman of the Association of State Policy Councils, an organization of state-based public policy organizations representing more than 25 states. Zanotti. who did his graduate work at Ashland University, discussed a few trends which he believes are not being discussed much by the public but will be vital in the near future, and will influence who will win in 2000. The first trend he pointed to was term limits. According to Zanotti, by 2002, 23 states, including Ohio, will have term limits for the state legislatures. This, combined with the fact that there are no term limits on the national level, will cause problems. A third trend which Zanotti believes to be important is a group of serious problems which he sees in the near future.

"As Americans of faith, we express our deep sorrow at the abuses committed in Iraqi prisons," says the ad from the liberal Christian group FaithfulAmerica.org . It's their first project and is set to air in two weeks. Peacenik and chairman William Sloane Coffin says FaithfulAmerica.org was created to loosen the right's grip on religion-inspired voters.

92. Presidents Day Awash In Political Rhetoric Editorial about political rhetoric from February, 1996 issue of the University of Tennessee Daily Beacon. http://dailybeacon.utk.edu/issues/v71/n26/people.26v.html

FROM THE FEBRUARY 19, 1996 ISSUE Presidents Day awash in political rhetoric ELIZABETH A. DAVIS Daily Beacon Editor As the country honors Presidents Day by closing banks and having sales at furniture stores, Presidential contenders are campaigning for the same office held by men as such George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln. These three men, along with some others, are considered big factors in the history of our country. Without Washington's leadership would the United States be the country it is today? Without Jefferson, would the United States have gotten the Louisiana Purchase? Without Lincoln, would this country still be one nation, not separated? The Oval Office is a big office to fill. Today people complain that the politicians vying for the job are hollow talking heads with no real message or way to solve national problems. After the Republican candidates debate in New Hampshire Thursday, CNN polled audience members about the messages they were hearing. Many said they heard negative messages, sparked by negative ads and arguing amongst the candidates while others were trying to talk. It was distracting for other candidates to butt in while someone else was talking, and the audience members did not approve. CNN measured individual audience reaction and showed the reactions went lower as the debaters pounced on each other or made a negative comment. The audience, made up of undecided Republican voters, said they did not make up their minds even after hearing the debate. "I wanted to hear more new ideas," several people said. Perhaps the politicians do not know what new ideas to talk about. Is someone going to propose eliminating income tax, prohibiting the use of food stamps for high-cholesteral foods or discontinuing the celebration of Thanksgiving? Politicians have to be careful with new ideas because the ideas might sound too off-the-wall.

93. ItchPAC - The Political Action Committee For People With Psoriasis A grassroots organization lobbying for rapid FDA approval of new psoriasis treatments. Includes group details and how to join. http://www.pandorf.com/itchpac/

The Political Action Committee for People with Psoriasis Psoriasis Sufferers Unite! If you live with psoriasis, you already know about the physical and emotional pain that this disease causes. There are several new drugs that have proven to be very effective for the treatment of psoriasis. Patients currently enrolled in clinical trials are getting relief that is nothing short of miraculous. So there’s hope for us, right? Maybe, maybe not. There are two major obstacles keeping new drugs from coming to market. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the insurance companies. The FDA is putting unreasonable testing requirements on the drug companies and not allowing for any compassionate use. Insurance companies think the cost of the new treatments is too high for a “cosmetic condition” like psoriasis. COSMETIC CONDITION? Are they crazy? Don’t any of these people have psoriasis? How can companies that deal in healthcare say that psoriasis is a cosmetic condition? Are they unaware of how much agony this disease causes? Why is our government letting them get away with this? It might have something to do with the millions of dollars contributed to the politicians by the insurance companies.

95. A Few Key Bits Of Bi Politics Article about the differences and samenesses of repression and discrimination of gay and lesbian people versus bisexual people. http://www.uncharted-worlds.org/bi/bipol.htm

A few key political issues for bi people 1 Homophobia a) It's often naïvely assumed that homophobia affects bi people only when they are in same-sex relationships. This is equivalent to suggesting that homophobia has no effect on lesbians or gay men who aren't currently in relationships. It denies the effect of being surrounded by a culture that often would prefer that you didn't exist. Bi people are just as likely as gay people to suffer from low self-esteem, internalised homophobia, and fear of the consequences of expressing their sexuality. b) Bisexuals who end up living monogamously with an other-sex partner do to some degree escape the most dangerous or oppressive consequences of homophobia. This is sometimes suggested as the "easy way out". It does however depend on falling in love with someone of "the right sex". Bi people still have a good chance of being under homophobic pressure to deny their feelings for someone they're in love with. Even while in an other-sex relationship, bi people may be hassled for looking gay on the street, or for taking part in gay activism or obviously queer social events. In many respects they still have to make choices about "how far out to be" that are similar to the choices gay and lesbian people face.

A Patriot's Page: Forum for Political and Social Moderates Stop the BullyingYou can get help. You can help. The poet Shelley was teased and taunted as a boy; they called him "Mad Shelley;" he stood up against the established system of hazing young students,and he was pinched, his clothes were torn, he was hit with mudballs and his textbook was thrown into the mud. In "Look Homeward Angel," Thomas Wolfe describes the suffering he endured because of his height and ill-fitting clothes. Such childhood harassment produces emotional damage that lasts a lifetime. These were idyllic moments compared to the bullying of schoolchildren today, which often includes kicks, punches, theft, death threats and even rape as both girls and boys are targets of abuse. Occaisionally children have died later from injuries sustained at school, and many youngsters have committed suicide because they saw no other way out of being the target of a bully. The National Association of School Psychologists reports that MORE THAN 160,000 CHILDREN SKIP SCHOOL EACH DAY BECAUSE OF BULLYING. Individuals, community service groups and governments around the world are now struggling to offer assistance and solutions to the problem, and to enact legislation that will enable victims of bullying and their parents to get help.

100. Political Register Abstract Started in 1802, The political Register supported the Tories but he gradually became more radical. By 1815 the tax on newspapers had reached 4d. a copy and as few people could afford to pay 6d. or 7d., the tax restricted the circulation to people with fairly high incomes. Circulation was just over a thousand copies a week. The following year the political Register was published as a pamphlet selling for only 2d. and it soon had a circulation of 40,000 as the main newspaper read by the working class. http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/PRregister.htm

By 1806 Cobbett used the newspaper to campaign for parliamentary reform. William Cobbett was not afraid to criticise the government in the Political Register and in 1809 he attacked the use of German troops to put down a mutiny in Ely. Cobbett was tried and convicted for sedition and sentenced to two years' imprisonment in Newgate Prison . When Cobbett was released he continued his campaign against newspaper taxes and government attempts to prevent free speech By 1815 the tax on newspapers had reached 4d. a copy.
