By Chuck Baldwin February 13, 2007 50 Americans I Wish Were Most Influential 50 Americans I Wish Were Most Influential by Chuck Baldwin February 13, 2007 The Church Report recently announced this year's list ofits "50 Most Influential Christians in America." The list's top 10 are Joel Osteen, Billy Graham, Bill Hybels, T.D. Jakes, James Dobson, Paul Crouch, Joyce Meyer, Leonard Sweet, John Piper, and Rob Bell. Other notables making the top 50 include President Bush, Robert Schuller, Franklin Graham, Rick Warren, Chuck Colson, Andy Stanley, Joni Eareckson Tada, Jay Sekulow, Chuck Swindoll, Jack Hayford, Richard Land, Charles Stanley, Max Lucado, John Hagee, D. James Kennedy, George Bama, Rod Parsley, Jerry Falwell, Sam Brownback, John MacArthur, Frank Page, and Creflo Dollar. What strikes me most about the above list are the names ofpeople I wish were listed but were not. Unfortunately, the people who are most consistently championing the principles that would restore America to its former selfare mostly ignored by the mainstream media and even by the Christian media. The above list clearly illustrates this reality. Therefore, without giving a ranking to each name, I would like to offer my list of "50 Americans I Wish Were The Most Influential." I can tell readers this: Ifthese people were America's most influential leaders (Christian or otherwise), our country would not be in the shape it is in today. And that is a fact. Anyway, here goes. David Alan Black, Derry Brownfield, Tom DeWeese, John Eidsmoe, Ezola Foster, Rick Jore, Alan Keyes, Stanley Monteith, Roy S. Moore, Ron Paul, Doug Phillips, Howard Phillips, Larry Pratt, Charley Reese, Paul Craig Roberts, John Stormer, Herb Titus, Ed Vieira, Paul Walter, Darrell White, Pat Buchanan, Jim Clymer, Ray Moore, Tom Parker, Phyllis Schlafly, William Shearer, Joe Sobran, Bob Barr, Joseph Farah, George Putnam, Jeromi Corsi, Jesse Lee Peterson, Tom Tancredo, Duncan Hunter, Ron Maxwell, Bob Dill, Dewy Kidd, Mary Starrett, Frank Fluckiger, Michael Peroutka, Randy Stufflebeam, Fob James, Jr., Tom Ambrose, John Hostettler, Jack McLain, Gene Howard, Greg Dixon, Don Boys, Thom Holmes, and Tony Romo. Obviously, I would have differences to various degrees with just about everyone on my list. That is not the point. These are people who generally understand the "big picture" and are unafraid to confront the issues that are most necessary to America's survival. Unfortunately, this is not something that everyone in the first list is willing to do. Perhaps that helps explain why our country seems to be without a rudder or compass today. I realize that anytime one makes a list, he risks leaving out those who deserve to be on it. I'm confident I have fallen victim to that propensity. I beg the reader's forgiveness, as he or she recognizes names (as I did in the first list) that are not mentioned. Feel free to share your names with me. Our combined lists are much larger than 50 names, for sure. http://www.chuckbaldwinlive.eom/c2007/cbarchive_20070213.html 50 Americans I Wish Were Most Influential IfAmerica suffers from anything, it suffers from a lack ofdynamic, principled leaders. Leaders who understand the real threats to America's freedom and independence and who are willing to pay the price to address these threats. Men and women who cannot be bought or bullied, but who also possess the qualities ofcompassion and wisdom. Stalwart champions ofcharacter and conviction. Such leaders are needed as much now as at anytime in our history-maybe more. © Chuck Baldwin This column is archived as http://www.chuckbaldwinUve.com/c2007/cbarchive_20070213.htmt 2007 Columns http://www.chuckbaldwinlive.eom/c2007/cbarchive_20070213.html.

They now seek invitations to this year’s presidential debates, claiming that the rules that bar their participation violate antitrust law. However, because Plaintiffs have no standing and because antitrust laws govern commercial markets and not political activity, those claims fail as a matter of well- established law. Plaintiffs also allege violations of the First Amendment, but those claims must be dismissed because the First Amendment guarantees freedom from government infringement and Defendants here are private parties. Finally, Plaintiffs fail to allege facts that could support a claim for intentional interference with prospective business advantage. Defendants’ motions to dismiss will be granted. I.

  • Directory of U.S. Political Parties the Two Major
    DIRECTORY OF U.S. POLITICAL PARTIES THE TWO MAJOR PARTIES: DEMOCRATIC PARTY (DNC) - The Democrats regained control of the US House and US Senate in the 2006 elections, and of the White House in the 2008 elections (plus widened their congressional advantage). An inability to cure the inherited stagnant national economy and voter discontent over health care and other successfully adopted Obama agenda items caused a significant erosion of support, costing the Democrats control of the House and several governorships in 2010. While prominent Democrats run the wide gamut from the near Euro-style democratic-socialist left (Barbara Lee, Raúl Grijalva and the Congressional Progressive Caucus) and traditional liberals (Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Debbie Wasserman Schultz) to the Dem center-right (Harry Reid, and the NDN) to the GOP-style conservative right (Blue Dog Coalition) to the pragmatic "centrist" moderate- to-liberal style (Mark Warner, Rahm Emanuel). The Democrats swept into office in '06 and '08 include a combination of some vocal progressives on the left, some centrists, and a some conservatives on the party's right. Much of the party's congressional losses in 2010 came at the expense of Blue Dog and centrist Democrats in swing districts. In 2012, President Obama was reelected and the Democrats held control of the US Senate and narrowed the GOP majority in the US House. Other official, affiliated national Democratic sites include: Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, and House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer. Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC), and US Senate Democratic Leadership. Democratic Governors Association (DGA).

Gordon Columbia Business School, Columbia University, New York, New York 10027, [email protected] Wesley R. Hartmann Stanford Graduate School of Business, Stanford University, Stanford, California 94305, [email protected] residential elections provide both an important context in which to study advertising and a setting that Pmitigates the challenges of dynamics and endogeneity. We use the 2000 and 2004 general elections to analyze the effect of market-level advertising on county-level vote shares. The results indicate significant positive effects of advertising exposures. Both instrumental variables and fixed effects alter the ad coefficient. Advertising elasticities are smaller than are typical for branded goods yet significant enough to shift election outcomes. For example, if advertising were set to zero and all other factors held constant, three states’ electoral votes would have changed parties in 2000. Given the narrow margin of victory in 2000, this shift would have resulted in a different president.
