  • Fossil Fuel Insurrectionists
    Fossil Fuel Insurrectionists Since 2016, 65 Fossil Fuel Corporate PACS Contributed $8.8M to Members of Congress Who Denied Democracy and Supported Trump’s Push to Overturn the Election By Alan Zibel January 27, 2021 With President Joe Biden now in office, much of corporate America is trying to distance itself from the extremism, disdain for science and reactionary climate change denialism of the Trump era. Business groups including the National Association of Manufacturers denounced the January 6 invasion of the U.S. Capitol by former president Donald Trump’s supporters aiming to overturn the election. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and even the American Petroleum Institute endorsed President Biden’s decision to rejoin the Paris Agreement on climate change, even as the oil industry gears up to fight Biden’s plan to halt drilling on public lands and eliminate wasteful fossil fuel tax breaks. At the same time, corporations and their executives should not be excused for their longstanding support of Trump and the GOP agenda of fossil fuel exploitation and climate denialism. Oil companies bankrolled lawmakers who tried unsuccessfully to disenfranchise Americans’ votes, but that is only a symptom of the broader disease. During the Trump era, corporation after corporation stood silently seeking tax breaks and regulatory favors while Trump undermined the norms of American society and political system. Fossil fuel companies and their executives were some of the closest Trump allies as they stood to gain immensely from Trump administration favors. As such, they contributed generously to pro-Trump groups and congressional Republicans. A Public Citizen analysis of Federal Election Commission campaign finance data found that: • Sixty-five fossil fuel company political action committees have contributed $8.8 million [Table 3] over the past three election cycles to 132 [Table 4] out of 147 members of Congress who voted to challenge the electoral college outcome.

  • Chapter One: Postwar Resentment and the Invention of Middle America 10
    MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School Certificate for Approving the Dissertation We hereby approve the Dissertation of Jeffrey Christopher Bickerstaff Doctor of Philosophy ________________________________________ Timothy Melley, Director ________________________________________ C. Barry Chabot, Reader ________________________________________ Whitney Womack Smith, Reader ________________________________________ Marguerite S. Shaffer, Graduate School Representative ABSTRACT TALES FROM THE SILENT MAJORITY: CONSERVATIVE POPULISM AND THE INVENTION OF MIDDLE AMERICA by Jeffrey Christopher Bickerstaff In this dissertation I show how the conservative movement lured the white working class out of the Democratic New Deal Coalition and into the Republican Majority. I argue that this political transformation was accomplished in part by what I call the "invention" of Middle America. Using such cultural representations as mainstream print media, literature, and film, conservatives successfully exploited what came to be known as the Social Issue and constructed "Liberalism" as effeminate, impractical, and elitist. Chapter One charts the rise of conservative populism and Middle America against the backdrop of 1960s social upheaval. I stress the importance of backlash and resentment to Richard Nixon's ascendancy to the Presidency, describe strategies employed by the conservative movement to win majority status for the GOP, and explore the conflict between this goal and the will to ideological purity. In Chapter Two I read Rabbit Redux as John Updike's attempt to model the racial education of a conservative Middle American, Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom, in "teach-in" scenes that reflect the conflict between the social conservative and Eastern Liberal within the author's psyche. I conclude that this conflict undermines the project and, despite laudable intentions, Updike perpetuates caricatures of the Left and hastens Middle America's rejection of Liberalism.

During this trip, he launched a number of initiatives aimed at education, economic empowerment, and peace and reconciliation. He forgave debt so nations could reinvest in health care, education, and poverty alleviation. He increased funding and research for lifesaving vaccines. And he signed the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) into law, which helped strengthen economic ties between the United States and Africa. President Clinton has continued to build upon his longstanding commitment to Africa through the work of his Foundation, and has traveled through Africa many times since leaving the White House in 2001.

  • American Actress/Singer, Helen Hayes Award Nominee, and Recording Artist Mary Millben Has Been One of Oklahoma’S Best Kept Secrets – Until Now
    American Actress/Singer, Helen Hayes Award nominee, and recording artist Mary Millben has been one of Oklahoma’s best kept secrets – until now. For Mary, singing in church started it all. Referred to as a "Songbird,’ at a young age, Mary quickly overcame stage fright when repeatedly called on to sing in church by her mother – now a retired Pentecostal, music pastor and former classical soprano. Thanks to her mother, who raised Mary and her siblings as a divorced single parent, it was just a matter of time before this preacher's kid would go from the plains of the Midwest to the stages of the world. Through high school and college, Mary proudly represented the state of Oklahoma in public arenas as a young leader - thrust in front of U.S. Presidents, world figures and corporate America as a voice for those underrepresented. Mary was the presidential runner-up at the American Legion Auxiliary 1999 Girls Nation, gubernatorial runner-up at Oklahoma Girls State, and the Oklahoma delegate at the 1998 Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership (HOBY) World Congress in Washington, D.C. In college, Mary was elected the second African- American female Student Body President and the first African-American female Vice- President at the University of Oklahoma (OU) – governing 30,000 students. While serving in student leadership, Mary was a featured singer for University dinners and private events hosted by former Oklahoma U.S. Senator, Governor and now President of OU, David L. Boren. As a professional student, Mary served the state of Oklahoma at the Oklahoma State Department of Education, Crowe & Dunlevy Law Firm, and later Press Secretary & Director of Communications for the Oklahoma Republican Party under former Chairman Gary Jones.
