The Case for Closing the Federal Election Commission and Establishing a New System for Enforcing the Nation’s Campaign Finance Laws Introduction The Federal Election Commission (FEC) is beset with a constellation of problems that has resulted in its failure to act as a “real law enforcement agency.”1 Among the major reasons for this failure are the ineffectual structure of the Commission, the politicization of the appoint- ment of commissioners, and congressional interference with the agency. In the fall of 2000, Democracy 21 Education Fund initiated PROJECT FEC to develop and introduce into the national debate a new and comprehensive approach for effectively enforcing the nation’s campaign finance laws.

Warner and Ida C. Brown Ann Arbor 1963 Composition and Lithoprinted by BRAUN -BRUM FIELD, Inc. Ann Arbor, Michigan Oil.. Ill* H INTRODUCTION The Michigan Historical Collections are a special library of The University of Michigan, con- taining the archives of the University and papers of individuals and organizations throughout Michi- gan. In the beginning there were two different projects. One, begun by Professor Lewis G. Vander Velde in 1934, was a program of collecting manuscript and printed materials relating to Michigan history, primarily for the use of graduate students in his seminar. The other program concerned the collecting and preservation of records of the University. To accomplish this purpose, President Alexander G. Ruthven appointed The Committee on University Archives, of which Professor Vander Velde was the secretary. Firmly convinced that a comprehen- sive collection of manuscripts dealing with the history of the University and the State would be use- ful for students and scholars, he began a vigorous campaign of letter writing and personal visits. Housed for a time in a room in the Clements Library, in 1938, needing more space, the papers were moved into the newly opened Rackham Building. In the same year the Regents established the Michigan Historical Collections and appointed Professor Vander Velde the Director.

    Dissertation Chapter 2 Sam Rosenfeld Chapter 2: Democrats and the Politics of Principle Greensboro Daily News, July 8, 1959 The scholarly apostles of responsible party doctrine in the postwar years tended to be liberal Democrats who shared their ilk’s frustration with the party’s internal divisions and contradictions. When E.E. Schattschneider wrote to Adlai Stevenson after the 1952 election, he laid out a vision of a disciplined and coherent Democratic opposition that increasing numbers of liberal activists and voters found attractive.1 As his noncommittal reply suggested, Stevenson’s role in realizing this vision would be partial, somewhat unlikely, and at times even unwitting. An introspective patrician rather than a party warrior – and an ideological moderate to boot – Stevenson nonetheless served as a vessel for programmatic liberal energies in the 1950s. His two campaigns for president facilitated, on the one hand, the coalescence of a powerful cadre of policy intellectuals that helped to shape a liberal agenda during the Eisenhower era, and, on the 1 E.E.

Schattschneider Papers, Olin Library, Wesleyan University, Middletown, CT. 1 Dissertation Chapter 2 Sam Rosenfeld other hand, a major grassroots influx of new Democratic activists committed to party reform as well as substantive, issue-based politics. Both developments created constituencies that were open to making American party politics more national in scope, programmatic in orientation, and coherent in structure. The Democratic struggle for party responsibility was less visible in Stevenson’s actual campaigns than in nascent efforts to reform Congress, skirmishes in the national conventions, and, most vividly, the controversial tenure of Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Paul Butler.

  • Ann Arbor, Michigan
    Ann Arbor When John Allen and Elisha Rumsey established the town of "Annarbour" in 1824, the two land speculators named the settlement after their wives, both named Ann, and a grove of trees where the women preferred to meet. From that bucolic beginning, Ann Arbor has grown into a city of more than 110,000 people. It is home to one of the nation's finest public universities, and has become a industrial hub for a variety of commercial enterprises, from automotive design to pizza. Since its inception, the Bentley Historical Library of the University of Michigan has collected materials on the history of Ann Arbor and its residents. There are numerous collections that spotlight the city's culture, architecture, history, and a long tradition of social outreach. This guide is designed to inform interested researchers of the existence of unique materials currently held by the Bentley Historical Library. Listed are manuscript collections and selected publications reflecting the life, history and culture of Ann Arbor. These materials are open to researchers for the study of the social, political, religious, and economic dimensions of this community.

Lynn Jondahl: Libby, I'm delighted to be here with you and I'm looking forward to learning about your experience. Olivia Maynard: Thanks, Lynn, and I can't think of a better person that I'd like to spend this next hour with just talking about political kinds of issues and issues that are important to the state of Michigan. Lynn Jondahl: If we could gather here, to talk today, members of your family and friends who knew you as you were growing up in Ohio, and we were just chatting, would they be surprised that Libby Maynard is today, a key political figure in Michigan's political history? Olivia Maynard: They probably, when they knew me when I was very little, probably wouldn't be surprised that I was getting into trouble so that wouldn't surprise them at all and I always thought my mother and dad who were very staunch and conservative republicans, were sort of glad I moved to Michigan so they didn't have to deny their daughter.
