  • The Long Red Thread How Democratic Dominance Gave Way to Republican Advantage in Us House of Representatives Elections, 1964
    THE LONG RED THREAD HOW DEMOCRATIC DOMINANCE GAVE WAY TO REPUBLICAN ADVANTAGE IN U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ELECTIONS, 1964-2018 by Kyle Kondik A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Baltimore, Maryland September 2019 © 2019 Kyle Kondik All Rights Reserved Abstract This history of U.S. House elections from 1964-2018 examines how Democratic dominance in the House prior to 1994 gave way to a Republican advantage in the years following the GOP takeover. Nationalization, partisan realignment, and the reapportionment and redistricting of House seats all contributed to a House where Republicans do not necessarily always dominate, but in which they have had an edge more often than not. This work explores each House election cycle in the time period covered and also surveys academic and journalistic literature to identify key trends and takeaways from more than a half-century of U.S. House election results in the one person, one vote era.

Along with the permit application, Pima County submitted a draft Pima County Multi-Species Conservation Plan (MSCP). On June 10, 2015, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) requested programmatic section 7 consultation for actions under section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CW A), including two Regional General Permits and 16 Nationwide Permits, that are also covered activities in the MSCP. This is an action under section 7 of the ESA that is separate from the section 10 permit issuance to Pima Couny.

  • Overlooked No More: Ralph Lazo, Who Voluntarily Lived in an Internment Camp - the New York Times
    11/24/2019 Overlooked No More: Ralph Lazo, Who Voluntarily Lived in an Internment Camp - The New York Times Overlooked No More: Ralph Lazo, Who Voluntarily Lived in an Internment Camp About 115,000 Japanese-Americans on the West Coast were incarcerated after Pearl Harbor, and Lazo, who was Mexican-American, joined them in a bold act of solidarity. July 3, 2019 Overlooked is a series of obituaries about remarkable people whose deaths, beginning in 1851, went unreported in The Times. By Veronica Majerol When Ralph Lazo saw his Japanese-American friends being forced from their homes and into internment camps during World War II, he did something unexpected: He went with them. In the spring of 1942, Lazo, a 17-year-old high school student in Los Angeles, boarded a train and headed to the Manzanar Relocation Center, one of 10 internment camps authorized to house Japanese-Americans under President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s executive order in the wake of Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor a few months earlier. The camps, tucked in barren regions of the United States, would incarcerate around 115,000 people living in the West from 1942 to 1946 — two-thirds of them United States citizens. Unlike the other inmates, Lazo did not have to be there. A Mexican-American, he was the only known person to pretend to be Japanese so he could be willingly interned. What compelled Lazo to give up his freedom for two and a half years — sleeping in tar-paper-covered barracks, using open latrines and showers and waiting on long lines for meals in mess halls, on grounds surrounded by barbed-wire fencing and watched by guards in towers? He wanted to be with his friends.

    MILITARY OFFICERS ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA TRIANGLE CHAPTER P.O. Box 19861 Raleigh, NC 27619 VOLUME LI NUMBER 1 FEBRUARY 2014 DINNER MEETING WEDNESDAY, 12 March 2014 Guest Speaker Ilario Pantano Assistant Secretary of the North Carolina Division of Veterans Affairs 1830 SOCIAL, OPEN BAR; 1915 DINNER Printable Reservation Form Inside Reservations MUST Be Received by Friday, 7 March 2014 President’s Message Dear Members, Last month Joe Long and I attended the quarterly Council of Chapters meeting in Pinehurst, where we heard a very interesting and entertaining talk by Col. Peter Dotto (Ret) on the subject of membership recruiting. The major point of his talk was that MOAA is declining in membership and may disappear entirely if some changes are not made. Simply stated, the problem is we are still considered to be an officer retirement organization and the number of retiring military officers is declining precipitously. It could happen sooner than you might think due to the large gap in the number of officers who served between the end of the Vietnam War and the start of Desert Storm. Col. Dotto said that our organization needs to make three major changes. First, we need to change from a “retirement organization” to a service organization. Many will say, “I thought we already did this,” but there is still a perception that we are retirement-oriented, and sometimes perception is more important than reality. Secondly, we need to attract younger members. We’ve heard this before, and the challenge is how to actually do it. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that younger people (30 to 50 year olds) are not typically joiners.
