Chimps, Obama and Racial Stereotype We are decidedly not in a ‘post-racial’ America, whatever that may look like; indeed, many have been made more uneasy by the election of a black president and the accompanying euphoria, evoking a concomitant racial backlash in the form of allegedly satirical visual imagery. Such imagery attempts to dispel anxieties about race and ‘blackness’ by reifying the old racial stereotypes that suggest African Americans are really culturally and intellectually inferior and therefore not to be feared, that the threat of blackness can be neutralized or subverted through caricature and mockery. When the perpetrators and promulgators of such imagery are caught in the light of national media and accused of racial bias, whether blatant or implied, they always resort to the same ideological escape hatch: it was only ‘a joke’.

  • Buying Influence, Selling Death
    BuyingBuying Influence,Influence, SellingSelling DeathDeath Campaign Contributions By Tobacco Interests Quarterly Report: October 2004 Campaign Contributions By Tobacco Interests Quarterly Report: October 2004 These quarterly reports provide regular, detailed updates of the tobacco industry's campaign contributions to sitting members of Congress, candidates for federal office, political parties, leadership PACs and other political action committees. Each issue also provides additional information on the tobacco companies' political influence, including analyses of the correlation between these contributions and the tobacco-related legislation that members of the U.S. Congress support. Quarterly Highlights • So far in the 2003-2004 election cycle1, the tobacco industry has given nearly $2.8 million in PAC contributions to federal candidates, political parties and other political action committees. Since 1997, tobacco interests have given more than $28.7 million in political donations to federal candidates, national parties and non-party political action committees. • In the 2003-2004 election cycle to date, tobacco company PACs have donated more than $1.4 million directly to federal candidates.2 Overall, 74 percent of the tobacco PAC contributions went to Republican candidates.

  • Testing the Waters” and the Big Lie: How Prospective Presidential Candidates Evade Candidate Contribution Limits While the FEC Looks the Other Way
    215 E Street, NE Washington, DC 20002 tel (202) 736-2200 fax (202) 736-2222 www.campaignlegalcenter.org “Testing the Waters” and the Big Lie: How Prospective Presidential Candidates Evade Candidate Contribution Limits While the FEC Looks the Other Way Paul S. Ryan February 2015 Executive Summary With the 2014 midterm elections behind us, public attention has shifted to the 2016 presidential election. News stories appear daily about prospective 2016 presidential candidates’ repeated trips to Iowa and New Hampshire, extensive fundraising and campaign machine building. Yet none of the early frontrunners—former Governor Jeb Bush, Governor Scott Walker and more than a dozen other politicians—will even admit that they are “testing the waters” of a presidential campaign. Why is this? And how can it be? The “why” part is easy to explain. Federal law requires an individual who is “testing the waters” of a federal candidacy to pay for those activities with funds raised in compliance with the federal candidate contribution restrictions—no individual contributions above $2,700, no corporate or labor union funds. “Testing the waters” means activity “undertaken to determine whether the individual should become a candidate,” including, for example, travel to see if there is sufficient support for one’s candidacy. Prospective presidential candidates deny that they are “testing the waters” in order to evade the candidate contribution limits. The “how” part is more difficult to explain. Among the long list of nearly 20 prospective 2016 presidential candidates, only Senator Lindsey Graham and former Senator Jim Webb appear to be complying with the federal campaign finance law requirement that “testing the waters” activities be paid for with candidate-permissible funds.

  • Blim Dissertation Revisions Draft 2
    Patchwork Nation: Collage, Music, and American Identity by Richard Daniel Blim A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Music: Musicology) in the University of Michigan 2013 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Mark Clague, Co-Chair Associate Professor Charles Hiroshi Garrett, Co-Chair Associate Professor Paul A. Anderson Professor Steven M. Whiting Acknowledgements This dissertation has benefited from what I can only describe as a collage of voices of support and wisdom throughout the process. I wish to acknowledge the financial support of the Rackham Graduate School; The University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre, and Dance; and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. I owe a great deal to my committee for their insight and guidance from the beginning. Steven Whiting helped sharpen my theoretical approach and navigate various definitions. Paul Anderson’s comments always cut right to the heart of whatever issue of question was most daunting and pointed me in the right division, helping me to tell, as he often suggested, a bigger story. It has been my fortune to find two co-chairs who work so well together. Mark Clague and Charles Hiroshi Garrett have encouraged my interdisciplinary interests throughout my time at the University of Michigan. For the dissertation, they have pushed me to become a better scholar and writer, patiently reading sprawling drafts and helping to wrangle my ideas into shape, and tactfully impelling me to pursue bigger and bigger questions with more and more clarity and nuance. In particular, I am deeply appreciative of Mark’s energizing and provocative pep talks and willingness to entertain any question no matter how tangential it might have seen, and of Chuck’s impeccable and thoughtful comments on everything I submitted, returned with superhuman speed, and his dissertation whisperer-like ability to get me to make the inevitable cuts.

  • The Obama Presidency Can Barack Obama Deliver the Change He Promises? 12 Kenneth Jost and the CQ Researcher Staff
    The Obama Presidency Can Barack Obama Deliver the Change He Promises? 12 Kenneth Jost and the CQ Researcher Staff hey came to Washington in numbers unprecedented and with enthusiasm unbounded to bear witness and be a part T of history: the inauguration of Barack Hussein Obama on Jan. 20, 2009, as the 44th president of the United States and the first African-American ever to serve as the nation’s chief executive. After taking the oath of office from Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., Obama looked out at the estimated 1.8 million people massed at the Capitol and National Mall and delivered an inaugu- ral address nearly as bracing as the subfreezing temperatures. With hardly the hint of a smile, Obama, 47, outlined the chal- lenges confronting him as the fifth-youngest president in U.S. his- tory. The nation is at war, he noted, the economy “badly weakened” and the public beset with “a sapping of confidence.” “Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real,” Obama continued in his 18-minute speech. “They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America — they will be met.”1 (See economy sidebar, AP Photo/Evan Vucci p. 286; foreign policy sidebar, p. 292.) The largest crowd in Washington history cheers President Barack Obama after his swearing in on The crowd received Obama’s sobering message with flag-waving Jan. 20, 2009. An estimated 1.8 million high-spirited, exuberance and a unity of spirit unseen in Washington for decades.

  • From: To: Subject
    FROM: CHIP SALTSMAN TO: MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE SUBJECT: OUR PLAN FOR REPUBLICAN VICTORY “I am not going to talk to you about some of the things we’ve talked about before and some of the things that we’ve tried to accomplish and that we haven’t yet. … I will only say let us all heed the words of an old Scotch ballad, ‘For those defeats that we’ve had so far, we are hurt; we are not slain. We’ll lie us down and rest a bit, and then we’ll fight again.’” – President Ronald Reagan, April 13, 1984 On January 23, 2009, by casting votes for the next Republican National Committee Chair, each of you will play a pivotal role in charting the future of our party. While the recent setbacks we experienced were very discouraging, I am completely confident that together we can, and will, inspire the American people with bold solutions and return our party to national leadership in the very near future. Future electoral success will require investments of time, money, expertise and imagination. Our state and local party committees will have to be strengthened. New technologies will have to be adopted and implemented. Strategic and tactical adjustments will have to be made. And all this will have to be done before the all- important 2010 mid-term election. Since I am asking each of you to entrust me with the RNC chairmanship, it is important that I lay out my vision for the party’s future. The following describes how I plan to execute a campaign for Republicans to recapture leadership on the American political scene.
