Street NW Washington D.C. 20463 Kl •H MUR# N. rH Re: Jim Risen for U.S. Senate Committee in rsi A recent mailing promoting Jim Risch for U.S. Senate appears to violate the prohibition on corporate contributions to federal candidates. O on The mailing contained two letters, both apparently paid by the Jim Risch for Senate Committee, but it was mailed In an envelope bearing the return address of Idaho Right to Life, Inc., a non-profit corporation, and using IRTL's bulk mailing permit. I believe this constitutes an illegal contribution to the Jim Risch for Senate Committee by Idaho Right to Life, Inc. I am enclosing a copy of the envelope and the two letters that were mailed in It. Because I believe IRTL may also have violated the regulations governing non-profit corporations by engaging in illegal electioneering, I am also sending copies of this letter to the IRS and the U.S. Postal Service. Because the election is only about six weeks away, I would request an expedited investigation of this complaint.

This has been noted by recent work, but there has been little theoretical focus on the implications of this parties as networks approach. My dissertation unpacks what it means for political parties to be networks and what the implications of this view are. I argue that because political parties are networks, the relationships that exist between groups within the network are critical in explaining variation in party ideology across the state parties. In addition, I argue that fracturing of a party network outside the legislature leads to a similar fracturing of the party caucus inside the legislature. To test these theories I use state legislative donation data from 2000 to 2016 to develop state donation networks. Using these networks I first show that relationships help to explain party ideology even when controlling for resources.

  • Find Idaho's Democratic Party in the Morgue
    Find Idaho's Democratic Party in the morgue Marty Trillhaase/Lewiston Tribune We went looking for the pulse of the Idaho Democratic Party the other day. We couldn't find it. Only a political party without a heartbeat lets the Idaho GOP off the hook while it tolerates a twice-accused and once-convicted sexual offender among its ranks in the state House of Representatives. Rep. Mark Patterson, R-Boise, pleaded guilty to a 1974 assault with intent to commit rape in Florida. But, because the judge gave him a withheld judgment, he's entitled to say he has no felony conviction. Three years later, Patterson again was charged with rape, this time in Ohio, where he was tried and acquitted. Patterson blames everyone else for his troubles: Ada County Sheriff Gary Raney had no business disclosing his criminal history, the victim in the Florida case recanted, the cops lied and, of course, Patterson has a hazy recollection of the incident because chemotherapy treatments impaired his memory. Patterson kept all of this from the voters when they elected him last year. Anywhere else, Democrats would be all over Patterson and his party. Missouri Republican Congressman Todd Akin made idiotic comments about "legitimate rape" and his campaign against Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., was shattered. The minute Indiana Treasurer Richard Mourdock said he'd opposed abortion "even if life begins in the horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen," Indiana Democratic Chairman Dan Parker was all over him, accusing Mourdock of believing "God intended rape." But 11 days after the Idaho Statesman's Dan Popkey broke the story about the lawmaker's criminal background, not one Democrat has called for Patterson's resignation.

  • Autobiography of a Maquoketa Boy-4.Pdf
    Autobiography of a Maquoketa Boy Richard B. Wells Caernarfon Castle Caernarfon was just as impressive. It was built with an hourglass shape that divides the inner grounds into two wards. It has only a single massive wall with ten towers spaced around its periphery. A lot of restoration work has gone into this castle because in addition to being a fortress it was built originally to be the official residence of the Prince of Wales. It no longer serves that function, but it was the site of the investiture of Prince Charles as Prince of Wales in 1969. The castle houses a museum, the Royal Welch Fusiliers Museum, an arms exhibit, and a ‘Princes of Wales’ exhibit. None of the other castles we visited, excepting of course the Tower of London, were in as good a state of restoration of Caernarfon. Most were like Caerphilly or worse. The wooden floors and living quarters of these castles have long since rotted away and the great towers have only a big hole right down through the middle flanked with stonework on all sides. Still it was, naturally, irresistible to me to climb the long spiraling stone stairs of the towers to see the view from their very tops. Most now have rope banisters to hang on to during the climb, but in their day these stairways did not have this safety feature. The stone steps were small and it’s hard to see how an armor clad man could bound up them all that quickly. By the time I would get to the top I’d be feeling pretty winded from the climb.

    Idaho Democratic Party News releas e fro m th e Idaho Democra tic Par ty FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - Idaho Democrats Denounce Finance Committee’s Decision to Pay Republican Party Legal Bills with Taxpayer Dollars (Boise)—Idaho Democratic Party leaders blasted the decision of the Joint Finance & Appropriations Committee to reimburse attorneys of the Idaho Republican Party $100,000 for costs associated with a lawsuit that sought to open primaries close their primary elections to all but those who self-identify as Republicans. “It’s bad enough that Republicans have clogged up the courts with their party purification campaign but to ask the taxpayers of Idaho to pick up the tab goes beyond brazen,” said Idaho Democratic Party Chairman Larry Grant. “Not only did Republicans sue to make their party more extremist and more ideological but now they’ve sent their legal bills to the Legislature during the most severe fiscal crisis since the Great Depression. Remarkably, Republican legislators approved such an outrageous expense. Did any of them think to recuse themselves from voting on this bill given the obvious conflict of interest with their party being the direct benefactor here?” The lawsuit was driven by a faction within the Republican Party that was concerned that their primary elections were being determined by crossover votes from non-Republicans, leading to election results that the far-right wing considers unacceptable. In a recent U.S. District court ruling, Judge Lynn Winmill noted that restricted primaries “will likely have the 'very real and immediate effect of … producing more ideologically extreme candidates.’” “The state of Idaho is being asked to pay an exorbitant sum to resolve the internal struggles within the Republican Party,” said Senate Minority Leader Edgar Malepeai.
