  • Occupy Wall Street and the Tea Party Battle Over Energy Efficiency
    Occupy Wall Street and the Tea Party Battle over Energy Efficiency Jeff Erickson, Navigant Consulting ABSTRACT Those involved in delivering or evaluating energy efficiency programs have had a reasonably comfortable relationship with environmental advocates over the years. In fact heightened environmental concerns helped spur the latest round of enthusiasm for energy efficiency among regulators and legislators. What about some of the other groups that are battling for the public’s attention lately – how might their efforts affect energy efficiency? If the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement grows how will it affect publicly-funded energy efficiency? Will utility-led energy efficiency programs be frowned upon by the OWS crowd? Will they want to see more states taking energy efficiency programs away from utilities and creating new institutions to run them (as, for example, is done in Wisconsin)? On the other side of the spectrum, will the Tea Party target energy efficiency regulations as evidence that the government has overstepped its constitutional purview? Will their push for deregulation lead to a pull back from regulations authorizing public-benefits charges to fund energy efficiency programs? This paper provides a framework for thinking about these questions and considering the potential ramifications if either of these movements grows in influence and targets energy efficiency. The paper will break the energy efficiency realm down into several parts representing key organizational or regulatory issues and consider the positions that the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street members either have already expressed or are likely to express based on their foundational principles. Introduction Some individuals, families, businesses, and public sector entities take actions on their own accord, with their own money, to improve their energy efficiency.

  • “Fractures, Alliances, and Mobilizations: Emerging Analyses of the Tea Party Movement”
    Tea Party Conference Proceedings 1 “Fractures, Alliances, and Mobilizations: Emerging Analyses of the Tea Party Movement” A Conference Sponsored by the Center for the Comparative Study of Right-Wing Movements Friday, October 22, 2010 Alumni House, University of California, Berkeley Conference Proceedings Prepared by Rebecca Alexander Welcome and Opening Remarks Lawrence Rosenthal opens the conference by describing the history of the Center for the Comparative Study of Right Wing Movements (CCSRWM) and the impetus behind a conference to study the Tea Party movement. The CCSRWM opened its doors in March of 2009. When work on the center first began, Rosenthal says, many people scoffed at the idea because, with Obama moving in and Bush and the Republicans moving out, they thought concerns about right- wing movements were over. When the Center opened, a couple of months into the Obama presidency, however, nobody was scoffing anymore. The right was louder than ever, becoming the political phenomenon of the year, coalescing into something we struggle today to understand. Rosenthal explains that The Tea Party movement is an extraordinary expression of an American Right that not only did not go away after Obama’s resounding electoral victory, but regrouped and moved further to the right, embracing ideas that American conservatives had rejected years ago and mobilizing a Perot-sized chunk of the electorate. Rosenthal says he is struck by similarities between 1993 and 2008, because in both cases the presidency of an elected Democrat was deemed illegitimate by much of the right. In the first case, right-wing objection to Bill Clinton resulted in impeachment; a phenomenon that Rosenthal suggests may repeat itself in the age of “Birthers” if Republicans win majorities in the House and Senate.

En faisant cela, je vais au-delà des arguments communément entendus sur la question de savoir si les médias sociaux et leurs diverses fonctionnalités aident ou entravent la mobilisation et l'action collective, pour la simple raison que les médias sociaux défient des caractérisations aussi faciles que des relations de cause à effet. Tout comme les mouvements sociaux, les médias sociaux ont des frontières poreuses et des propriétés malléables.

  • Thesis the Tea Party
    THESIS THE TEA PARTY: THE DISCOURSE OF CLASS, RACE, & GENDER/SEXUALITY Submitted by Benjamin Thomas Grant Schrader Department of Ethnic Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Spring 2011 Master’s Committee: Advisor: Eric Ishiwata Joon Kim Courtenay Daum ABSTRACT THE TEA PARTY: THE DISCOURSE OF CLASS, RACE, & GENDER/SEXUALITY My thesis seeks to examine the Tea Party and its effects on the discourse around the intersections of race, class, and gender. It is my contention that the actions and discourse around the Tea Party Movement creates a cultural pedagogy that promotes structural violence that stems from an ideology of individualism. The promotion of individualism breaks down the foundations of democratic practices. In order to examine this, my investigation will work to: 1) explore the ties between neoliberalism, nationalism, and patriotism; 2) trace the ways in which race plays a role in Tea Party rhetoric and show its ties to racism, and; 3) locate the ways in which the Tea Party movement promotes hyper-masculinity. The final chapter will explore the construction of communal traditions that promote volunteerism and/or community engagement, which in turn could build social capital that could counter the endemic ideology of individualism. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENT Special thanks to my thesis advisor, Eric Ishiwata, I couldn’t have done it without you! Thanks also to my committee, Joon Kim and Courtenay Daum. Also, thank you very much to the Ethnic
