  • Wisconsin Briefs Reference Bureau
    from the Legislative Wisconsin Briefs Reference Bureau Brief 95-10 December 1995 WHO ARE THE CANDIDATES? The 1996 Wisconsin Presidential Preference Primary I. INTRODUCTION On March 19, 1996, Wisconsin voters will express their choices among the various candi­ dates seeking the presidential nomination of their respective national political parties. Wis­ consin has played an influential role in presidential selection over the years, and the 1995 Leg­ islature advanced the date of the spring election, which includes the 1996 presidential preference primary, by three weeks from the first Tuesday in April to the third Tuesday in March in response to similar action by other states. The Wisconsin presidential preference primary is an "open" primary. In other words, Wisconsin does not require voters to identify or declare a party affiliation when casting their ballots. Although in 1984 the Democratic National Committee refused to seat the convention delegates chosen in Wisconsin's open primary and required party caucuses to select the dele­ gates, it reversed its decision in 1988. This reversal was based on enactment of 1985 WISconsin Act 304, which allows political parties complete freedom to select any number of delegates on any basis they choose. The 1996 presidential primary, therefore, is advisory and not binding on the parties. This brief describes the procedure for developing the ballot, and, as has been the practice since 1968, it provides materials to assist the nominating committee in its task of identifying possible presidential candidates. II. THE NOMINATION PROCESS Preparation of the presidential preference primary ballot normally begins with the con­ vening of a presidential preference nominating committee on the last Tuesday in January to determine the candidates whose names will appear on the ballot.

  • Security Without War a Post-Cold War Foreign Policy
    SECURITY WITHOUT WAR A POST-COLD WAR FOREIGN POLICY Michael H. Shuman and Hal Harvey With a Foreward by Senator Paul Simon Westview Press Boulder • San Francisco • Oxford You will say at once that although the abolition of war has been the dream of man for centuries, every proposition to that end has been promptly discarded as impossible and fantastic. Every cynic, every pessimist, every adventurer, every swashbuckler in the world has always disclaimed its feasibility....But now the tremendous and present evolution of nuclear and other potentials of destruction has suddenly taken the problem away from its primary consideration as a moral and spiritual question and brought it abreast of scientific realism. It is no longer an ethical equation to be pondered solely by learned philosophers and ecclesiastics but a hard core one for the decision of the masses whose survival is the issue. – General Douglas MacArthur, 1955 CONTENTS Foreward, Senator Paul Simon Acknowledgments Introduction (n/a) Cold War Policies in a Post-Cold-War World Toward a New View of Security Organization of the Book Part I.

CAMPBELL* I. INTRODUCTION A S more and more people "sign-on" to computer based com- munication networks, the networks become an effective means to reach a growing audience. One group that is always interested in reaching larger audiences is political candidates. Consequently, it is likely that candidates will increasingly use this new medium-computer-based communication networks-as a way of communicating with potential voters.' While computer-based communication networks have yet to penetrate into every aspect of our lives, as some predict they ulti- mately will, 2 political candidates have already begun to come on- line.
