Nov. 3, 1995 MONTANA POLL CHARTS PRESIDENTIAL PREFERENCES MISSOULA ~ Senator Bob Dole is an early favorite with Montana Republicans, but many remain undecided. And many Montanans like the idea of a major independent or third party candidate in the 1996 presidential race, according to the latest Montana Poll. For this edition of the Montana Poll, 411 adult Montanans were polled statewide September 21-26. The poll is conducted by The University of Montana Bureau of Business and Economic Research. Choosing from a crowded field of 11 Republican presidential candidates at the time of the poll, Montanans overall endorsed Bob Dole most often (28 percent), with 34 percent undecided, said Susan Selig Wallwork, director of the Montana Poll.

  • The Conservative Caucus, Inc. Supporters Throughout the United
    The Conservative Caucus,Inc. National Headquartars ^50 Maple Avenue East, Vienna, Virginia 22180 (703) 393-15: HOWARD PHILLIPS' REMARKS AT THE HAYDEN-FONDA PRESS CONFERENCE, SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA, iVlAY 24, 1982. Good morning. My name is Howard Phillips. I am National Director of The Conservative Caucus, which is a non-partisan, grass roots lobbying organization, with roughly 400,000 supporters throughout the United States. We have been involved over the years in a number of issues. For example, in 1977 and 1978, we helped organize the nationwide campaign against ratification of the Carter-Torrijos Panama Canal Surrender Treaty. In 1979 and 1980 we led the nationwide, fifty state campaign against ratification of Salt II. Currently, we are focusing considerable emphasis on a campaign which we call "Defunding the Left." We agree with Thomas Jefferson that it is sinful and tyrannical to compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors. We believe that the principle incorporated in the First Amendment which says that Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion and which has been interpreted to mean that religious faiths ought not be subsidized, carries with it the implicit understanding that political faiths, likewise, ought not be subsidized. But, the fact of the matter is that, since the early 1960s, when many programs of the Great Society were instituted, literally billions of dollars in Federal funds have been used to underwrite the activities of organizations which have political axes to grind.

In particular, Citizens United desires an advisory opinion on the following three issues: (1) whether paid broadcast advertisements for a book titled The Many Faces of John Kerry. which was authored by the organization's president, David N.

The Cast of the News Abstract In this paper, we analyze a newscast for the narrative perspectives within it, using the work of Russian critic Mikhail Bakhtin on voicing. A Bakhtinian analysis of a newscast offers a richness rarely found in studies of media bias, for reasons we discuss in the body of the paper. Our question is not, "How do we eliminate perspectival news reporting?" (which is impossible), but "How do we analyze perspectives in the news?" and "Why does news reporting nevertheless seem objective?" Comments Suggested Citation: Locher, M.A and Wortham, S. (1994).

  • OPPOSITION NOTES the American Life League
    OPPOSITION NOTES AN INVESTIGATIVE SERIES ON THOSE WHO OPPOSE WOMEN’S RIGHTS AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH The American Life League: “More interested in making a statement than making a difference” I INTRODUCTION he American Life League is on the right wing of the antichoice movement, marginalized and isolated even among ostensible allies. Although ALL has made T many ambitious statements of intent since it was founded some 25 years ago, it has failed to deliver on many of its promises and has attracted sharp criticism for apparent financial missteps. So extreme are ALL’s views on abortion and other subjects that it has regularly denounced such reliable conservatives as George W. Bush and Rush Limbaugh for failing to adopt ALL’s own extremism. The league has taken fire from other antichoice groups and—despite oft-professed devotion to the Vatican—from church leaders. In 2004, a spokeswoman for Washington, DC, archbishop Cardinal Theodore McCarrick sought to distance him from an ALL campaign for denial of communion to prochoice politicians. She told the Washington Post McCarrick had been “very clear” that “our teaching” allows Catholics to decide whether to receive communion.1 Douglas Johnson, legislative director of the firmly antichoice National Right to Life Committee, said of ALL in 2003, “I think they’re more The league has taken fire from other antichoice groups interested in making a statement than making a and—despite oft-professed devotion to the Vatican— difference.”2 from church leaders. League president Judie Brown has referred to her supporters, such as they are, as “hardliners”3 who constitute “the real prolife movement.”4 In 1999, the Institute for Democracy Studies said ALL sat atop the “extremist wing of the antichoice movement.”5 “We are laying the groundwork for a Christian movement that will dictate to politicians what it means to be prolife,” Brown once said.6 Despite such grand goals, the league can CATHOLICS FOR A FREE CHOICE OPPOSITION NOTES • AN INVESTIGATIVE SERIES Key Findings point to few effects on politicians’ or can be inflammatory.
