Lupillo Rivera, (foto inferior), que no había participado en el movimiento de los inmigrantes, se encontró él mismo en medio de la protesta. “No importa de donde seán estos niños.

A young boy’s clothing is what helped Sheriff officials identify Gilberto Francisco Ramos Juarez who was found dead in a brush last month after crossing the Mexico and USA border. Some Murrieta, Calif. residents are protesting the arrival of over 100 immigrants, being flown in to their community from Texas. Lupillo Rivera, (lower picture) who had not been involved with the immigrant movement, founded himself in the middle of the protest. “It doesn’t matter where the children are from. Children automatically deserve respect. I cannot kick out a child from anywhere. I think that is inhumane,” Rivera told Fox News Latino.

  • Political Reelism: a Rhetorical Criticism of Reflection and Interpretation in Political Films
    POLITICAL REELISM: A RHETORICAL CRITICISM OF REFLECTION AND INTERPRETATION IN POLITICAL FILMS Jennifer Lee Walton A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2006 Committee: John J. Makay, Advisor Richard Gebhardt Graduate Faculty Representative John T. Warren Alberto Gonzalez ii ABSTRACT John J. Makay, Advisor The purpose of this study is to discuss how political campaigns and politicians have been depicted in films, and how the films function rhetorically through the use of core values. By interpreting real life, political films entertain us, perhaps satirically poking fun at familiar people and events. However, the filmmakers complete this form of entertainment through the careful integration of American values or through the absence of, or attack on those values. This study provides a rhetorical criticism of movies about national politics, with a primary focus on the value judgments, political consciousness and political implications surrounding the films Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939), The Candidate (1972), The Contender (2000), Wag the Dog (1997), Power (1986), and Primary Colors (1998). iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank everyone who made this endeavor possible. First and foremost, I thank Doctor John J. Makay; my committee chair, for believing in me from the start, always encouraging me to do my best, and assuring me that I could do it. I could not have done it without you. I wish to thank my committee members, Doctors John Warren and Alberto Gonzalez, for all of your support and advice over the past months.

  • A Regional Study of Secular and Sectarian Orphanages and Their Response to Progressive Era Child-Saving Reforms, 1880-1930
    Closer Connections: A Regional Study of Secular and Sectarian Orphanages and Their Response to Progressive Era Child-Saving Reforms, 1880-1930 A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In the Department of History of the College of Arts and Sciences by Debra K. Burgess B.A. University of Cincinnati June 2012 M.A. University of Cincinnati April 2014 Committee Chair: Mark A. Raider, Ph.D. 24:11 Abstract Closer Connections: A Regional Study of Secular and Sectarian Orphanages and Their Response to Progressive Era Child-Saving Reforms, 1880-1930 by Debra K. Burgess Child welfare programs in the United States have their foundation in the religious traditions brought to the country up through the late nineteenth century by immigrants from many European nations. These programs were sometimes managed within the auspices of organized religious institutions but were also found among the ad hoc efforts of religiously- motivated individuals. This study analyzes how the religious traditions of Catholicism, Judaism, and Protestantism established and maintained institutions of all sizes along the lines of faith- based dogma and their relationship to American cultural influences in the Midwest cities of Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh during the period of 1880-1930. These influences included: the close ties between (or constructive indifference exhibited by) the secular and sectarian stakeholders involved in child-welfare efforts, the daily needs of children of immigrants orphaned by parental disease, death, or desertion, and the rising influence of social welfare professionals and proponents of the foster care system.

Chapel Hill 2014 Approved by: Jacquelyn Dowd Hall Laura Edwards James L. Leloudis Nancy MacLean Zaragosa Vargas ©2014 Jessica Wilkerson ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Jessica Wilkerson: Where Movements Meet: From the War on Poverty to Grassroots Feminism in the Appalachian South (Under the direction of Jacquelyn Dowd Hall) This dissertation traces the alliances forged and the grassroots movements led by women in the Appalachian South in the 1960s and 1970s, with a focus on eastern Kentucky. With a wide variety of sources, including oral history interviews, archival film footage, memorabilia, local and underground publications, and manuscript collections, it shows how women shaped the federal War on Poverty in Appalachia and then used the skills they learned in antipoverty programs to foster social justice activism that continued in the 1970s and beyond. Women in Appalachia, who have seldom been seen as actors in the movements of the 1960s, were key leaders and foot soldiers in what contemporaries called the Appalachian Movement, which intersected with civil rights organizations and had its roots in the War on Poverty. Rural, poor and working-class women helped to shape debates about welfare rights, women’s rights, and labor justice in the 1960s and 1970s, connecting white and black women, insiders and outsiders, to form a robust, interracial, intergenerational, and region-wide movement.

  • Stardock Releases Political Strategy Game the Political Machine 2020
    Stardock Releases Political Strategy Game The Political Machine 2020 Plymouth, MI. - March 03, 2020 - Stardock released its new political strategy/simulation game today, ​ The Political Machine 2020. The PC strategy game allows players to choose a candidate and run for ​ President against either a computer opponent or a candidate controlled by another person over the Internet. Candidates include current Democratic front-runners Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, and Bernie Sanders, as well as Internet favorites Andrew Yang and Tulsi Gabbard. Republican candidates include Donald Trump, George W. Bush and Mitt Romney. Players can also design their own candidates. “This game takes politics and brings them to players in a way that is fun and interesting,” said Stardock CEO Brad Wardell. “We use current data to model the US and voters. The game emulates some of the unexpected things a candidate might have to deal with -- natural disasters, national tragedies, economic crises -- and immerses the player in it.” The Political Machine 2020 features unique ideology trees for the candidates that allows each of them to play differently from one another. “During the game, candidates will visit Town Halls and gain ideology points,” said Wardell. “These points will let them own certain issues. For instance, Bernie Sanders has ‘Medicare for All’, while Donald Trump can own the ‘Build the Wall’ issue.” Each issue is modeled on a per state basis with voter support based on polling data to allow for accurate simulations of how those issues will play out in different states. “Since the object of the game is to win 270 electoral votes, players have to pay attention to what issues voters care about in swing states,” said Wardell.

INTRODUCTION Politicians, a wit once said, are so good at campaigning and so lousy at governing because they have so much experience with the former and so little experience with the latter. All humor aside, to many, one of the least desirable effects of the American Experiment begun over two hundred years ago is the advent of the campaign. The complaints about campaigns range from them being too long' to them being too nasty.2 Many of the complaints, however, distill to these two related charges: too much money is "in politics" and, as a result, those with money play too large a role in the political process.3 In essence, the suspicion is that 1.

Immigrants from Europe, farmers, and African Americans from the south moved to cities. The growth of cities such as New York and Chicago led to new challenges for city governments as new demands were placed on city services such as fire, police, sewage, transportation, and water. In order to expand services, cities increased taxes and set up new offices to provide help. In this context, political machines arose.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION Government corruption is common in many new democracies in the developing and post-Soviet worlds and is not unknown in older, established democracies, including the United States. Government corruption is blamed for slowing economic growth and exacerbating inequality by inflating taxes and extra- legal exactions, distorting private markets, and preventing governments from providing public goods efficiently and in sufficient quantity.1 Corruption in democracies is often embedded in patronage based political institutions — large, hierarchical political parties, organized in many cases along ethnic or clan lines, in which political support is bought with material rewards such as access to government jobs and services. Today such political institutions exist in polities as diverse as the national governments of India, Japan, Mexico, and Italy and the city governments of Istanbul and Moscow, and are still active in sub- national U.S. governments, including the “outer boroughs” of New York City: Queens, Brooklyn and the Bronx (Newfield and Barrett 1988). A patronage based political party, in American parlance a “political machine,” is apparently able to insulate corrupt elected officials from voter ire by buying votes — granting favors to and making individual deals with a winning coalition of voters. Understanding the structure and impact of government corruption in democracies depends on understanding the political machine. American city government at the turn of the twentieth century provides an unparalleled opportunity to study how the ability to buy votes relaxes the constraints that voters otherwise impose on their government. At the beginning of the twentieth century, city governments in many, but not all, cities in the U.S.
