Mterrogatory No. 3
i I- BEFORE THE FEDERAL ELjECTlON COMMISSION In the Matter of ) Witness Subpoena to ) m 3774 The National Right to) Work Committee ) SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE TO SUBPOENA The National Right to Work Committee (WRTWC), hereby submits this Supplemental Response to the Subpoena ?o Produce Documents/Order to Submit Written Answers served upcln “WC in the above-referenced MUR, following the June 10,1997, decision of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in Misc. Action No. 97-0160, ordering NRWC to respond to Interrogatory No. 3 and Document Request No. 3, as modified by the Court. INTRODUCTORY COAKMENTS Intemgatory No. 3 and Document Request No. 3 relate to activities from more than four years ago. NRTWC has experienced changes in personnel over those years, and documents may no longer exist, if they ever existed. Nonetheless, “WC, with the assistance of counsel and staff, has conducted a diligent search for documents and facts, and responds on the basis of information so gathered. The Court limited the scope of Interrogatory No. 3 and Document Request No. 3 to the 1992 senatorial candidates, and the Commission, by its attorneys in discussions with “WC counsel, has further limited the scope to the 1992 general election senatorial candidates. Thus, NRTWC’s search has focused on the 1992 general election senatorial candidates. Also, the Commission and NRTWC, in briefing and in discussions between counsel, have agreed that NRTWC may redact documents to delete supporter-identitjing information from documents to be produced, and NRTWC is doing so. MTERROGATORY NO. 3 NRlwC did not engage in, or finance, in whole or in pa, “any activities relating to federal elections in October-December 1992 .

First Glance 97Th Legislature Dear Citizen: It Is of Primary Importance That the General Public Increase Its ParTicipation in the Decision-Making Process
2013-2014 First Glance 97th Legislature Dear Citizen: It is of primary importance that the general public increase its par ticipation in the decision-making process. In order to actuate this input, the citizen must acquire an understanding of the legislative structure and process and then organize concerted efforts to effectively demand representation. Individuals can have an impact on specific legislative proposals, provided it is made at the appropriate time. Organized community and citizens’ groups can multiply the impact of that individual effort. Organizing citizens’ groups to deal with specific com- munity prob lems is extremely important. Such groups provide a focal point from which citizens can participate in the decision-making process and influence legislation. The intent of A Citizen’s Guide to State Government– First Glance is to provide basic information about your newly elected government officials. This booklet also includes an updated listing of State agencies and other very helpful information. A more detailed version of this booklet will be printed as more information becomes available. A CITIZEN’S GUIDE TO STATE GOVERNMENT — FIRST GLANCE — 2013-2014 MICHIGAN LEGISLATURE January 2013 Prepared by the Michigan Legislature www.legislature.mi.gov This information is provided free to Michigan citizens and is not for reproduction for resale or profit.

Voter Intimidation Voter Ralph G
SPECIAL REPORT Voter Intimidation and Suppression in America Today Ralph G. Neas, PFAWF President Julian Bond, NAACP Chairman 2000 M Street NW, Suite 400 4805 Mt. Hope Drive Washington, DC 20036 Baltimore, MD 21215 202/467-4999 410/358-8900 www.pfaw.org www.naacp.org The Long Shadow of Jim Crow: Voter Intimidation and Suppression in America Today Overview In a nation where children are taught in grade school that every citizen has the right to vote, it would be comforting to think that the last vestiges of voter intimidation, oppression and suppression were swept away by the passage and subsequent enforcement of the historic Voting Rights Act of 1965. It would be good to know that voters are no longer turned away from the polls based on their race, never knowingly misdirected, misinformed, deceived or threatened. Unfortunately, it would be a grave mistake to believe it. In every national American election since Reconstruction, every election since the Voting Rights Act passed in 1965, voters – particularly African American voters and other minorities – have faced calculated and determined efforts at intimidation and suppression. The bloody days of violence and retribution following the Civil War and Reconstruction are gone. The poll taxes, literacy tests and physical violence of the Jim Crow era have disappeared. Today, more subtle, cynical and creative tactics have taken their place. Race-Based Targeting Here are a few examples of recent incidents in which groups of voters have been singled out on the basis of race. - Most recently, controversy has erupted over the use in the Orlando area of armed, plainclothes officers from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) to question elderly black voters in their homes.

It begins with a reading from the book of Isaiah, Chapter 40: “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” Our dear Heavenly Father, we thank You for the rest, refreshment, and safety of another night and for the light of another day.

Before the Federal Communications Commission Washington, D.C. 20554
November 14, 1999 Before the Federal Communications Commission Washington, D.C. 20554 ) In the Matter of ) MM Docket No. 99-25 ) Creation of a Low ) RM-9208 Power Radio Service ) RM-9242 ) ) Supplemental Written Comments of Susan Trescott-Ness Filed on Behalf of Herself & The Below Listed Concerned Organizations & Individuals Responding to the January 28, 1999 release of a Notice of Proposed Rule-making in FCC Docket No. MM 99-25 (a.k.a. RM-9208 and RM-9242), Susan Trescott-Ness and the following signatories hereby submit supplemental formal written comments on the Commission=s Proposed Rule to establish a Low Power FM Radio Service (LPFM). Introduction: This filing primarily represents a complete list of all signatories to our Comments on MM Docket 99-25. It also includes city council and county commission resolutions passed in support of LPFM, and the names of state-level elected officials who have gone on the record in support of LPFM. This filing, which follows three earlier versions submitted before each of the earlier deadlines, does not represent new material or concepts but is primarily intended to further demonstrate the vast scope of support for Low Power FM radio. As clarified earlier, these Comments represent the fundamental points of the Comments filed by the Michigan Music is World Class Campaign. That filing consisted of approximately 200 pages and 30,000 words. One of our key points is that the F.C.C. is obligated to institute an LPFM service simply due to the virtually unanimous public demand -- how can it be in the public interest to deny what just about every American citizen apparently desires?! In all honesty, it was difficult to find people who would NOT sign (other than high-level elected officials who are, perhaps, under the influence of an excessively powerful broadcast lobby).
