  • The History of Redistricting in Georgia
    GEORGIA LAW REVIEW(DO NOT DELETE) 11/6/2018 8:33 PM THE HISTORY OF REDISTRICTING IN GEORGIA Charles S. Bullock III* In his memoirs, Chief Justice Earl Warren singled out the redistricting cases as the most significant decisions of his tenure on the Court.1 A review of the changes redistricting introduced in Georgia supports Warren’s assessment. Not only have the obligations to equalize populations across districts and to do so in a racially fair manner transformed the makeup of the state’s collegial bodies, Georgia has provided the setting for multiple cases that have defined the requirements to be met when designing districts. Other than the very first adjustments that occurred in the 1960s, changes in Georgia plans had to secure approval from the federal government pursuant to the Voting Rights Act. Also, the first four decades of the Redistricting Revolution occurred with a Democratic legislature and governor in place. Not surprisingly, the partisans in control of redistricting sought to protect their own and as that became difficult they employed more extreme measures. When in the minority, Republicans had no chance to enact plans on their own. Beginning in the 1980s and peaking a decade later, Republicans joined forces with black Democrats to devise alternatives to the proposals of white Democrats. The biracial, bipartisan coalition never had sufficient numbers to enact its ideas. After striking out in the legislature, African-Americans appealed to the U.S. Attorney General alleging that the plans enacted were less favorable to black interests than alternatives * Charles S. Bullock, III is a University Professor of Public and International Affairs at the University of Georgia where he holds the Richard B.

  • 114TH CONGRESS / First Session Available at Frcaction.Org/Scorecard
    FRC ACTION VOTE SCORECARD 114TH CONGRESS / First Session Available at FRCAction.org/scorecard U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate Dear Voter and Friend of the Family, FRC Action presents our Vote Scorecard for the First Session of the 114th Congress. This online Scorecard contains a compilation of significant votes on federal legislation affecting faith, family, and freedom that FRC Action either supported or opposed. These recorded votes span the 2015 calendar year and include the greatest number of pro-life votes in history, after the U.S. House increased its Republican membership and the U.S. Senate was returned to Republican control. The year began with a bipartisan effort in the House to prohibit federal funds from being used to pay for abortion coverage under Obamacare. Congress successfully fought to restrict FDA approval of some forms of embryo-destructive research. The House, once again, passed legislation that would prevent late abortions on 5 month old pain-capable unborn children, and although the Senate was unable to pass the bill due to the 60 vote threshold, for the first time, a majority of Senators voted in favor of the bill. The public release of videos revealing Planned Parenthood’s organ harvesting practices renewed efforts to defund this scandal-ridden organization and redirect funding towards community health centers. In an unprecedented victory, the House and Senate passed a budget reconciliation bill, the Restoring Ameri- cans’ Healthcare Freedom Reconciliation Act, which would have eliminated a significant portion of Planned Parenthood’s funding—roughly 80%— and repealed key provisions of Obamacare.

  • Commissioners Meet with Georgia Congressional Delegation to Express Views on Pending Energy Legislation
    Georgia Public Service 244 Washington St S.W. Contact: Bill Edge Atlanta, Georgia 30334 Phone 404-656-2316 Commission Phone: 404-656-4501 www.psc.state.ga.us Toll free: 800-282-5813 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 15-09 NEWS RELEASE Commissioners Meet with Georgia Congressional Delegation to Express Views on Pending Energy Legislation Atlanta, July 23, 2009 – Public Service Commission Chairman Doug Everett along with Commissioners Lauren “Bubba” McDonald, Jr. and Stan Wise traveled to the nation’s Capitol Wednesday to voice their concerns to Georgia’s Congressional Delegation about the pending energy and climate legislation, known as “cap and trade,” which will dramatically increase Georgian’s utility bills in the coming years. “Unless this legislation is modified and revised, Georgians could see their electric utility bills go up by as much as $66 a month by 2020,” said Everett. “Ultimately, we want to find a way to sculpt a bill that has less impact on Georgians,” Commissioner Stan Wise told the delegation members. Commission Vice-Chairman Lauren “Bubba” McDonald, Jr. said, “We were pleased with the reception afforded us by members of Georgia’s Congressional Delegation and will continue working with them through the legislative process.” Among the several key areas of concern brought to the Delegation’s attention: Allocations: Restricting, limiting and auctioning of allocations will increase rates to ratepayers. Delaying the phase out of allocations and beginning the auctions at a later date will give technologies time to develop to meet these requirements, mitigating impacts to customers. Dates and Caps: Requirements in the bill do not match with the timing for development of new technologies.

  • Explaining Technical Breakdowns in Political Communication: Data, Analytics, and the 2012 Presidential Campaign Cycle
    Explaining Technical Breakdowns in Political Communication: Data, Analytics, and the 2012 Presidential Campaign Cycle Daniel Kreiss Assistant Professor School of Journalism and Mass Communication University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Paper presented at the International Communication Association Annual Meeting, Seattle, Washington, May 2014 Adapted from Networked Ward Politics: Parties, Databases, and Campaigning in the Information Age. New York, NY: Oxford University Press, anticipated publication date August 2016. Abstract During the 2012 presidential campaign, it was apparent that Obama's re-election effort was far more sophisticated in the use of technology, data, and analytics to target voters, tailor communication to them, and leverage the efforts of its volunteers than its Republican counterpart. Drawing on interviews with senior staffers in the Republican Party and Mitt Romney campaign, as well on the Obama re-election campaign, this paper explores the technical underpinnings of much contemporary political communication. It explains why the Romney campaign was significantly behind its rival in its use of the digital tools, data, and analytics that shape political communication across platforms ranging from cable television advertising and social media to field campaigning. It shows how party dynamics after Bush’s re-election bid, the characteristics of the Republican Party’s extended network of consultants, failures in campaign organization, and the new advantages of incumbency for technical development combined to produce

  • Broadway Premiere of "8" Lifts Veil on Prop
    Broadway Premiere of "8" Lifts Veil on Prop. 8 Trial NEW YORK, July 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Today the American Foundation for Equal Rights (AFER) and Broadway Impact announced the Broadway premiere of "8", a play chronicling the historic trial in the federal legal challenge to California's Proposition 8, written by AFER Founding Board Member and Academy-Award winning writer Dustin Lance Black and directed by Tony Award-winning actor and director Joe Mantello. The production is an unprecedented account of the Federal District Court trial of Perry v. Schwarzenegger, the case filed by AFER to overturn Prop. 8, which eliminated the right to marry for gay and lesbian couples in California. Black, who penned the Academy-Award winning feature film "Milk," based "8" on the actual words of the trial transcripts, first-hand observations of the courtroom drama and interviews with the plaintiffs and their families. It is set to premiere at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre in New York City on Monday, September 19, 2011 for an exclusive, one night only fundraiser to benefit AFER. High profile and award-winning actors will play the roles of the legal team, plaintiffs and witnesses for both sides of the historic Prop. 8 case. Casting for the all-star benefit will be announced soon. Following the New York debut on September 19, AFER and Broadway Impact will license "8" to schools and community organizations nationwide in order to spur action, dialogue and understanding. AFER and Broadway Impact will help produce these staged readings across the country, so that "8"will live on beyond its September premiere.
