    c Copyright 2012 Shauna Foley Fisher The Dance of Policy Argumentation: Recasting the Same-Sex Marriage Debate Shauna Foley Fisher A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2012 Michael McCann, Chair George Lovell Peter May Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Political Science University of Washington Abstract The Dance of Policy Argumentation: Recasting the Same-Sex Marriage Debate Shauna Foley Fisher Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Michael McCann Department of Political Science This project is motivated by a desire to examine the patterns that evolve as activists and their opponents struggle to control how the public and policymakers understand a particu- lar issue at the center of contention. Competing activist groups fight in a context shaped by two important dynamics. As advocacy groups pursue change, or attempt to block change, they must confront the mobilizing activities of their opponents. The first question addressed by this project comes out of this dynamic. Do activists engage, anticipate, or ignore their opponents’ messages? The second dynamic is the characteristics of particular institutional venues. Activist groups encounter different sets of institutional processes while fighting for their side through litigation than through ballot measure campaigns, for example. This raises a second question. Do activists change their messages for different institutional are- nas and venues? Finally, the media are central to contentious politics, but are not directly responsible for policymaking. They are, however, partially responsible for making the pub- lic and policymakers aware of the messages and activities of activists on either side. Thus the third and final question motivating this project is: what is the role of the media in contentious politics? I address these questions through an analysis of press release, newspaper, and cam- paign materials from same-sex marriage activists and their opponents in California.

HOW FREEWAYS, HIGHWAYS AND STRUCTURES ARE NAMED Each route in the State Highway System is given a unique number for identification and signed with distinctive numbered Interstate, United States, or California State route shields to guide public travel. The State Legislature designates all State highway routes and assigns route numbers, while the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) has authority over the numbering of Interstate and United States routes. In addition to having a route number, a route may also have a name and, in some cases, multiple names.

  • ACSA Every Student Succeeding Program Student Story Archives 1996
    ACSA Every Student Succeeding Program Student Story Archives 1996 Region 1 Monica Sanchez Red Bluff High, Red Bluff Union HSD Intelligent and sensitive, Monica Sanchez is a natural leader. Two years ago, she used her leadership skills to recruit and mold members of a local female gang. In the last year as a peer counselor and advisor, she used her influence to positively affect other girls, helping them to stay in school and out of trouble. Monica, a 1996 graduate of Red Bluff High School, is ACSA’s Every Student Succeeding Recognition program winner for Region 1. The program commends students for overcoming extraordinary odds to succeed in school and recognizes the educators who helped them. Monica’s support team included Red Bluff High principal Joe Pelanconi, associate principals Rick Prestwood and Bob Bryson, high school counselor Jose “Pep” Roa and Chico State University’s talent search counselor Doyle Lowry. At the beginning of high school, Monica was involved with a local Red Bluff gang whose members were in constant contact and conflict with young women from nearby Corning. Monica had no use for school. A community effort involving parents, law enforcement officers, probation officials and school staff helped Monica to change. The officials met with parents to help them understand gangs and convince them of the need to work together to help their children. And they met with students involved with gangs or at risk for joining them to show them positive alternatives. Red Bluff High staff, including Pelanconi, Prestwood, Bryson and Roa, met with Monica to discuss the need for her to make difference choices and to explain the consequences of her behavior.
