    Senator Henry M. Jackson Remembering ‘Scoop’ on the 100th anniversary of his birth. By Jonathan S. Tobin Freedom25, a group that seeks to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the 1987 March on Washington for Soviet Jewry, reminds us that today is the 100th anniversary of the birth of Senator Henry Jackson, the intrepid Democratic senator from Washington State who was a bulwark of the fight for freedom against Communism. Jackson is worth remembering not just because of his hard work for the just cause of freedom for Soviet Jewry and his dogged opposition to appeasement of the Soviet Union. His career embodied a rare brand of patriotism as well as insight into international affairs. He was also the best example of a political breed that is now all but extinct: a liberal on domestic issues who was an ardent hawk on foreign affairs. It is on the shoulders of Henry M. "Scoop" Jackson. (Herald file) men like Jackson that a genuine bipartisan consensus on defense issues, opposition to Soviet tyranny and support for the State of Israel was built. Though he passed away in 1983, all these years later he is still deeply missed by his country. The expression “Scoop Jackson Democrat” is a term that is “Today, we hear a great now falling out of use because there are few liberals left who deal about the need for understand that while Americans can afford to differ on bipartisanship, a line of domestic policy and the economy, we must present a united front against foes of liberty. Though once his sort of politician argument that is was commonplace in an era when both major parties were “big generally a cover for tents,” nowadays it is inconceivable that a Democrat who shared getting officials to throw Jackson’s worldview could survive a primary.

Holbrook This dissertation examines how vacancies in the United States Senate are filled. Despite the ability of states to set the institution for naming replacements, gubernatorial appointment continues to be the dominant method of selecting successors. The popularity of gubernatorial appointment – which empowers a single individual to substitute his/her judgment for the decision of the state electorate – is curious given that one goal of the Seventeenth Amendment was to democratize the selection of senators.

  • Timber Workers and the Making of Place in the Pacific Northwest, 1900-1964
    Landscapes of Solidarity: Timber Workers and the Making of Place in the Pacific Northwest, 1900-1964 Steven C. Beda A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2014 Reading Committee: James N. Gregory, Chair Linda L. Nash Margaret Pugh O’Mara Program Authorized to Offer Degree: History © Copyright 2014 Steven C. Beda University of Washington Abstract Landscapes of Solidarity: Timber Workers and the Making of Place in the Pacific Northwest, 1900-1964 Steven C. Beda Chair of Supervisory Committee: Professor James N. Gregory Department of History This dissertation is an environmental history of Northwest timber workers. Looking at rural logging communities in Washington, Oregon, northern California, Idaho, and British Columbia between 1900 and 1964, it examines how timber-working communities interacted with the physical environment through work, subsistence, and recreation and explores how nature shaped working-class culture, community, and the politics of one union, the International Woodworkers of America (IWA). This study identifies an ethic of place as a critical part of working-class experience in the Northwest woods. Timber- working communities developed their identities through their relationship with the forest, and while they believed in the work they did, as well as in the lumber industry’s important economic place in the rural Northwest, they also believed that changes to the landscape brought about by industrial logging needed to be carefully considered and at times constrained. In the postwar period, timber workers belonging to the IWA began putting political pressure on the lumber industry to try to force their employers to follow more responsible harvesting guidelines and later supported forest preservation and attempts to expand Northwestern wilderness areas.
