  • CHAPTER 8 FLORIDA Florida First Emerged on the Presidential
    CHAPTER 8 FLORIDA Florida first emerged on the presidential primary scene in 1988, when it was one of the southern states that participated in the first-ever Super Tuesday. Four years later, in 1992, Florida was propelled to the front rank of important primary states when the news media selected it for the final showdown between Governor Bill Clinton of Arkansas and former- U.S. Senator Paul Tsongas of Massachusetts. In the 1992 race for the Democratic nomination for president, Paul Tsongas got off to a fast start by winning the New Hampshire primary. Tsongas next won the Maryland primary, but that same day Bill Clinton swept to victory in the southern state of Georgia. The two candidates thus were running neck and neck when they faced off against one another in Florida on the second Tuesday in March. Although located in the South and one of the states that seceded from the Union during the American Civil War, Florida is not considered a typical southern state by voting-behavior analysts. The major reason for this is the large number of former northern voters who have moved to South Florida, either to retire or to enjoy the outdoor lifestyle of one of the fastest-growing states in the nation. These former northerners were viewed as ripe targets for the Paul Tsongas campaign. His heavy Massachusetts accent would not sound quite so strange to them, and his New Hampshire and Maryland primary victories already had demonstrated his strong appeal to people from the northern part of the nation. Furthermore, in the 1988 presidential elec- tion, Florida had voted for Democratic presidential candidate Michael Dukakis, like Tsongas a Greek from Massachusetts.

We urge you to protect this deduction—a unique and cherished incentive for Americans to invest directly in important community needs. The nonprofit sector plays a central role in the social and economic vitality of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Our organizations educate and keep the citizenry healthy; care for the most vulnerable populations; and preserve the state’s cherished historical, cultural and environmental resources. Nonprofits employ 16.7% of the workforce, or nearly 500,000 Massachusetts residents, and are responsible for $250 billion in annual revenues. Congress codified the strong American tradition of giving back to our communities in the tax code nearly a century ago, when it provided for deductions on charitable contributions in the Revenue Act of 1917.

Tip O’Neill: Irish American Representative Man Thomas P. “Tip” O’Neill, Man of the House as he aptly called himself in his 1987 memoir, stood as the quintessential Irish American representative man for half of the twentieth century. O’Neill, often misunderstood as a parochial, Irish Catholic party pol, was a shrewd, sensitive, and idealistic man who came to stand for a more inclusive and expansive sense of his region, his party, and his church. O’Neill’s impressive presence both embodied the clichés of the Irish American character and transcended its stereotypes by articulating a noble vision of inspired duty, determined responsibility, and joy in living. There was more to Tip O’Neill than met the eye, as several presidents learned.

  • Politicians and Their Professors the Discrepancy Between Climate Science and Climate Policy
    Better Future Project 30 Bow Street Cambridge, MA. 02138 Politicians and Their Professors The Discrepancy between Climate Science and Climate Policy By Craig S. Altemose and Hayley Browdy Massachusetts Edition Better Future Project 1 Politicians and Their Professors: The Discrepancy between Climate Science and Climate Policy By Craig Altemose and Hayley Browdy With research and editing assistance provided by Elana Sulakshana, Alli Welton, and Kristen Wraith © 2012, Better Future Project 30 Bow Street, Cambridge, MA 02138 About This Report This report seeks to highlight the discrepancy between the overwhelming consensus on climate change that exists among the nation’s scientific community and the lack of action by federal leaders. Past studies have shown that 97-98% of climate scientists who publish in peer-reviewed journals agree with the consensus that climate change is real, happening now, and man-made. Since many politicians seem to disregard the views of such scientific “elites” as a whole, we decided to compare politicians’ views on climate change to those of the climate experts at their alma maters. These politicians clearly valued the expertise of the academics at their schools enough that they chose to (usually) spend tens of thousands of dollars and up to four years of their lives absorbing knowledge from these institutions’ experts. We thought that even if these politicians choose to disregard the consensus of national experts, they might be persuaded by the consensus of the higher education institutions in which they trusted enough to invest great amounts of their time and money. This report and the research supporting it are available online at www.betterfutureproject.org/resources.

Even with an increase in officeholding over the past two years, Latinx remain underrepresented in most governing bodies at all levels of government. ▪ With 68 Latinx individuals holding 69 seats in local elected bodies and in the Massachusetts Legislature, the most significant leadership gaps persist in the state legislature and in the state’s congressional delegation, as well as in statewide office and other key elected roles. ▪ Currently, more Latinos (N=17) than Latinas (N=15) serve on city councils, while more Latinas (N=17) than Latinos (N=11) serve on school committees.

    ~ THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL ONE ASHBURTON PLACE BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS 02108 MARTHA COAKLEY (617) 727-2200 www.mass.gov/ago ATTORNEY GENERAL November 24,2008 The Honorable Edward M. Kennedy, Chairman Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions 428 Senate Dirksen Offce Building Washington, D.C. 20510 Re: Senate 20, "The Protecting Patients and Health Care Act" Dear Senator Kennedy: As you are aware, last week Senator Hilary Rodham Clinton and Senator Patt Murray introduced Senate 20, A Bil to Prohibit the Implementation or Enforcement of Certain Regulations. I am writing to express my strong support for Senate 20, referred to as the "Protecting Patients and Health Care Act," and my continued opposition to the United States Department of Health and Human Services' proposed "provider conscience" regulations. The bil was referred to the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions on November 20,2008. Senate 20 prevents the Secretary of Health and Human Services from finalizing, enforcing, implementing, or taking other action in furtherance of the proposed regulations, which are available at 73 Fed. Reg. 50274 (August 26,2008), section 245 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 238n), and section 508(d) of division G of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2008 (Public Law 110-161). Attached for your reference please find a copy of the September 19, 2008 letter I submitted to Secretary Leavitt in opposition to the proposed regulations. Senate 20 is timely and critical to protecting patients' access to basic reproductive health care services and information. Accordingly, I ask the Committee to report the Protecting Patients and Health Care Act to the entire Senate for passage.
