  • 2013-2014 California Clean Money Scorecard a Review of Legislators’ Votes for Campaign Finance Reform by the California Clean Money Action Fund
    2013-2014 California Clean Money Scorecard A review of legislators’ votes for campaign finance reform by the California Clean Money Action Fund Which Side Are You On? The Clean Money Scorecard for the 2013-2014 Session Holding Legislators Accountable for Campaign Finance Votes Big Money special interests have dominated California for far too long. Although California has some of the strongest campaign finance laws in the country, they are in dire need of updating. New laws are needed because voters’ voices are drowned out by billions of dollars spent by special interests. A new era of unlimited spending by corporations, unions, and billionaires has been unleashed across the nation by the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision. This spending is corrupting our democracy and can be considered a form of legalized bribery. Good government organizations like the California Clean Money Campaign, California Common Cause, California Voter Foundation, and the League of Women Voters of California regularly work with thoughtful legislators to propose strong new bills to improve campaign disclosure and to lessen the dominance of Big Money in California politics. Campaign finance bills are also proposed by the state’s Fair Political Practices Commission and other organizations that recognize the damage caused by our broken campaign finance system. Unfortunately, such bills are often opposed by the exact Big Money special interests whose undue influence they are meant to curb. Many legislators have received thousands of dollars or more in campaign contributions from these interests. Even legislators who haven’t received money have reason to fear the huge amounts special interests will spend against them if they don’t agree to lobbyists’ demands.

    MEMORIAMEDIA Review 2. Art. 4. 2017 Cemeterial Heritage: between materiality and spirit of place Reflection on the valorization and management of death as artistic heritage, sense of belonging and collective memory1 Andréa Michelle Diogo Faculdade de Letras da Universidade do Porto This paper intends to question the Cemeterial Heritage as an artistic materialization and crystallization of a place of memory. To that end it focuses on issues related to its safeguard: on the one hand, it pursuits to detail the Cemeterial Heritage in regard to the practices and the legislation as a heritage asset; on the other hand, it evaluates to which length the adequacy of its management may or may not enhance its values, both material and immaterial, taking into account the fruition of the space and the conservation of its spirit of place.

    CALIFORNIA STATE ASSEMBLY Your Legislature Welcome to the California State Assembly—the people’s house. I will always remember my first visit to the Capitol as a youth for two reasons: a terrifying number of squirrels in the park and all the scaffolding and construction materials that were seemingly everywhere. It turns out my family and I were visiting during the 1970s restoration of the Capitol, which returned this magnificent building to its original greatness. While you are here, you have the opportunity to see democracy in action. You can view the Legislature in session from the galleries on the third floor or watch committees debate legislation. A copy of the Daily File, which lists the day’s legislative activities, can be obtained from the Bill Room in the Capitol basement, or accessed online at Assembly.ca.gov. Assembly.ca.gov also provides the history, text, and analysis of every bill, and includes biographies, press releases, committee memberships, and other information about Members of the Assembly. I hope your visit to the State Capitol is a reminder that your voice has an impact on crafting California’s laws. There is no greater place to learn about California’s government and rich history than in our State Capitol. On behalf of all 80 Members of the Assembly, I hope you enjoy your visit. ANTHONY RENDON SPEAKER OF THE ASSEMBLY The California Legislature The Members The California Legislature is composed of an Assembly and a Senate, consisting of 80 and 40 Members, respectively. Members of the Assembly are elected for two-year terms, while Senators are elected for four-year terms, with one-half of the membership elected every two years.

  • 2014 Year End Report
    1 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2014 A Message from Craig Silliman Verizon is affected by a wide variety of government policies ‐‐ from telecommunications regulation to taxation to health care and more ‐‐ that have an enormous impact on the business climate in which we operate. We owe it to our shareowners, employees and customers to advocate public policies that will enable us to compete fairly and freely in the marketplace. Political contributions are one way we support the democratic electoral process and participate in the policy dialogue. Our employees have established political action committees at the federal level and in 18 states. These political action committees (PACs) allow employees to pool their resources to support candidates for office who generally support the public policies our employees advocate. This report lists all PAC contributions, corporate political contributions, support for ballot initiatives and independent expenditures made by Verizon during 2014. The contribution process is overseen by the Corporate Governance and Policy Committee of our Board of Directors, which receives a comprehensive report and briefing on these activities at least annually. We intend to update this voluntary disclosure twice a year and publish it on our corporate website. We believe this transparency with respect to our political spending is in keeping with our commitment to good corporate governance and a further sign of our responsiveness to the interests of our shareowners. Craig L. Silliman Executive Vice President, Public Policy and General Counsel 2 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2014 Political Contributions Policy: Our Voice in the Political Process What are the Verizon Good Government Clubs? contributions process including the setting of The Verizon Good Government Clubs (GGCs) exist to monetary contribution limitations and the help the people of Verizon participate in America’s establishment of periodic reporting requirements.
