  • Presidential Election Results

    Presidential Election Results

    2016 Election Overview The outcome of the 2016 elections has definitely altered the landscape for transportation policy and funding initiatives. From the Presidency down to state legislative races, we face a new legislative dynamic and many new faces. What hasn’t changed: the huge need for resources to increase the nation’s and the state’s investment in the transportation system and bipartisan agreement on that fact. Prior to the outcome of Tuesday’s election we were hearing from candidates on both sides of the aisle that increasing investments in infrastructure was an area of agreement. Candidates for Minnesota’s legislature brought up the need for a comprehensive, long-term transportation funding package over and over again in news stories, candidate profiles and candidate forums. We were hearing more from candidates about transportation than we have in previous election cycles. Voters in other states, made their voices heard by approving ballot initiatives in 22 states that increased and stabilized funding for transportation. As we head into 2017, transportation advocates have a huge opportunity to capitalize on the widespread support for infrastructure improvements. However, it will take the involvement of transportation advocates across the state making their voices heard to rise above partisan squabbling and the many other issues that will be on the table.

IAPAC focuses exclusively on domestic policy issues such as civil rights and immigration, and it encourages Americans of Iranian descent to actively participate in civic affairs. Mission • To support and promote the election of candidates for federal, state and local office, regardless of party affiliation, who are attuned to the domestic needs and issues of the Iranian American community • To support and promote Iranian American participation in civic affairs Issue Advocacy Civil Liberties: Balancing Civil Liberties and National Security in the Post-9/11 Era. Protecting our security and ensuring that the government does not infringe upon basic constitutional rights have long been important issues for civil libertarians and certain ethnic communities. IAPAC believes that our government must take the appropriate measures to protect our nation from further atrocities, but that it can do so without eliminating basic constitutional rights. Immigration: Immigration reform that is driven by proper national security concerns and remedies based on a fair and accurate appraisal of deficiencies in the immigration process, and not simply on national origin. Specifically, IAPAC advocates for a fair and measured execution of federal regulations governing the issuance of non-immigrant and immigrant visas for Iranian nationals.

To those who don’t speak “Minnesotan,” it’s a lot like a casserole that “goes real good” with jello or a salad, along with bars (pan-baked cookies) for dessert. This book of recipes will give everyone a taste of this culinary staple that for years has satisfied the hunger of Minnesotans in small farming communities and large cities alike. Last year, Sen. Franken’s “Mom’s Mahnomin Madness Hotdish” and former Rep. Chip Cravaack’s “Minnesota Wild Strata Hotdish” tied for first place. Sen.

Army United States. Army United States. Colored Troops Inclusive Dates: 1861-1865 Scope & Content: Official lists of officers and soldiers enlisted or otherwise accounted for in Tennessee military units or companies.

In general, records provide names of the enlisted, mustering officers, dates, locations, regiments, and companies. Sometimes the comments provide information on the soldier’s whereabouts. Others provide place of birth, physical description, and occupation. This large collection of Civil War muster rolls is stored in twenty-two drawers of filing space in the State Library and Archives building. Documents are sorted by category: Confederate, Union, United States Colored Troops (USCT) or African Descent (AD) Union troops, and lastly any other miscellaneous documents. An Excel spreadsheet has been created to properly list and describe all the Civil War muster rolls that we have in our collection, including the specifics on these documents. 1 The Confederate muster rolls include documents from approximately 40 cavalry and infantry regiments of the 110 Confederate regiments organized in Tennessee.
