  • The Washington Post September 16, 1996, Monday No Place for Perot In
    The Washington Post September 16, 1996, Monday No Place for Perot In the Debates David J. Garrow OP-ED; Pg. A19 LENGTH: 672 words The Commission on Presidential Debates is to decide soon whether Reform Party nominee Ross Perot and running mate Pat Choate will be included in the presidential and vice-presidential debates that are scheduled to begin next week. Commission members say their top criterion for inclusion is whether a ticket has a "realistic" chance of winning. By that standard as by others, there ought to be no debate: Neither Ross Perot nor Pat Choate is a realistic -- or even plausible -- president of the United States. Recent national opinion surveys show the Perot-Choate ticket drawing only 5 percent support -- a far cry from the 19 percent that Perot ended up with after his on-and-off campaign in 1992. What's more, monthly polls in crucial states where Perot and Choate's Buchanan-like message of economic protectionism ought to be popular show that Perot's support has been dropping like a stone. In Michigan, Perot's 19 percent backing in July fell to 10 percent in August and to just 4 percent in early September. Indeed, it's hard to envision any state where Perot-Choate could challenge Dole-Kemp or Clinton-Gore even for second place, and there may be some, like Alaska and California, where either Libertarian nominee Harry Browne or Green Party candidate Ralph Nader could outdo Perot for third place. Perot's only hope for a chance at increased voter support is the commission.

Office of die General Counsel Federal Election Commission 999 E. Street NW Washington, D.C. 20463 Re: Executive Committee of the Reform Party of the United States as the National Committee of a Political Party Dear Mr. Marinelli, The Reform Party of the United States of America ("Reform Party, USA'*) requests an advisory opinion seeking Commission recognition of its Executive Committee as the national committee of a political party. It also requests the Commission recognize each state Reform Party as a state committee of a political party. The Reform Party, USA, can trace its origins to 1992 and the activities of most constituent state parties to a period beginning September, 1995, when in response to numerous long-standing requests from third-party advocates, efforts to establish a new national political party began. To this end, registration and petition drives and organizing efforts were conducted in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The resulting parties, together with philosophically aligned pre-existing state political parties, joined together with Reform Party members from across the country in Long Beach, California and Valley Forge, Pennsylvania to nominate a presidential and vice-presidential candidate for the 1996 general election. During the same year, Reform Parties in thirteen states obtained ballot access for candidates for other federal offices. Following the 1996 election, in which the Reform Parties presidential and vice- presidential candidates obtained 8.4% of the popular vote, the Reform Parties agreed to conduct a national meeting to further the process of party development.

    STATISTICS: HISTORY 677 HIGHLIGHTS OF HISTORY IN WISCONSIN History — On May 29, 1848, Wisconsin became the 30th state in the Union, but the state’s written history dates back more than 300 years to the time when the French first encountered the diverse Native Americans who lived here. In 1634, the French explorer Jean Nicolet landed at Green Bay, reportedly becoming the first European to visit Wisconsin. The French ceded the area to Great Britain in 1763, and it became part of the United States in 1783. First organized under the Northwest Ordinance, the area was part of various territories until creation of the Wisconsin Territory in 1836. Since statehood, Wisconsin has been a wheat farming area, a lumbering frontier, and a preeminent dairy state. Tourism has grown in importance, and industry has concentrated in the eastern and southeastern part of the state. Politically, the state has enjoyed a reputation for honest, efficient government. It is known as the birthplace of the Republican Party and the home of Robert M. La Follette, Sr., founder of the progressive movement. Political Balance — After being primarily a one-party state for most of its existence, with the Republican and Progressive Parties dominating during portions of the state’s first century, Wisconsin has become a politically competitive state in recent decades. The Republicans gained majority control in both houses in the 1995 Legislature, an advantage they last held during the 1969 session. Since then, control of the senate has changed several times. In 2009, the Democrats gained control of both houses for the first time since 1993; both houses returned to Republican control in 2011.
