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. Today, the Clinton Foundation’s programs in Africa are enabling sustainable development for families and communities; strengthening health systems and expanding access to lifesaving treatments for HIV/AIDS and malaria; helping cities develop sustainably through alternative waste management and clean transportation initiatives; and preserving and regrowing Africa’s forests. Through the Clinton Global Initiative, President Clinton has also advanced innovative partnerships between the public and private sector that have brought new investment and opportunity to the continent. President Clinton continues to visit locations that have left an indelible mark on his life along with new places where the Clinton Foundation now works. Each country, city, and village has its own unique story, its own challenges, and its own opportunities. And each has hope that, with a hand up from the global community, they can lift themselves out of poverty and share in the positive benefits of our global interdependence. The Foundation continues to work directly in line with communities, providing them with the tools they need to secure their futures. Our ultimate hope for the communities where we work is that our programs will become self-sustaining, relying on local resources and enterprises rather than foreign aid. To address climate change in a manner that is both economically and environmentally sustainable, the Foundation has helped farmers plant trees that generate income through the sale of carbon credits on the international marketplace. In Malawi, the Foundation’s Anchor Farm Project has achieved increased yields and improved quality of inputs for over 10,500 smallholder farmers, increasing profitability by 567 percent since 2008. In Ethiopia, the Foundation has recently helped to accelerate the introduction of the new vaccine for pneumonia – the pneumococcal vaccine – by two years, saving the lives of an estimated 23,000 children. And throughout the entire continent, we have reduced prices up to 90 percent for key HIV drugs and up to 80 percent for HIV diagnostics. In total, we have helped more than 4 million people gain access to lifesaving antiretroviral medications around the world. Inspired by President Clinton’s commitment to Africa, Clinton Global Initiative members have made 759 of their own commitments that are already improving lives across the continent. With a total estimated value of over $27.8 billion, these commitments are focusing on the prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS, conflict resolution, improving the wellbeing of women and children, improving water and sanitation, fostering agriculture, and improving nutrition. This year, President Clinton will travel to South Africa, Mozambique, Rwanda, and Uganda, where the Clinton Foundation’s programs are expanding and changing lives each and every day. Through these programs, we hope to spur more economic progress, build sustainable communities, and improve health and education for entire populations.

  • 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.

  • 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.
