Where there there is is no no law, law, neither neither is there is there violation violation. A Research Project – March 2014 Foreword The Right Reverend Thomas E. Breidenthal, D. Phil., Bishop The Diocese of Southern Ohio Convener of the Task Force on Racial Profiling Almost two years have passed since we learned of the death of Trayvon Martin. There can be no question that racial profiling was a factor in this tragedy. This connects Trayvon's death to the experience of countless African-Americans of all ages, especially African-American males, who continue to be suspected of criminal intent at every turn. Of course, racial profiling of any group implies racial profiling of everybody: people who look Mexican or Central American are profiled as illegal immigrants, while people of European descent are profiled as law-abiding. Yet in this country it falls to men of African descent to be profiled as dangerous. This is as true within the church as outside of it. We are taught as followers of Jesus to see Christ in the face of everyone we meet. But the first thing we see is race, and then whatever we pin on race, whether positive or negative.

    Opening Statement of the Honorable Matt Salmon (R-AZ) House Committee on Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere Hearing on “Overview of US Interests in the Western Hemisphere: Opportunities and Challenges” February 28, 2013 (As Prepared for Delivery) Good morning, and welcome to our first hearing of the Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere, where we will be exploring the opportunities and challenges the U.S. faces in the region. When I returned to Congress this year, I was privileged to rejoin the Foreign Affairs Committee and honored to have been given the gavel of the Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere. As a native Arizonan, I know what many of my colleagues have yet to realize, our neighbors in the Western Hemisphere are critical to U.S. security, energy independence and economic prosperity. I believe that our strong cultural, trade and investment relationships and demographic ties with Canada and the Americas connect the region and open the way to constructive dialogue on how to make our hemisphere safer and more prosperous. First of all, let me welcome the Subcommittee’s distinguished new Ranking Member, Congressman Albio Sires who represents the 8th Congressional District of New Jersey. I look forward to working with you on a bipartisan basis to help foster positive results for U.S. foreign policy in the region. In addition, to our returning Senior Members of the Committee, it is my pleasure to give a warm welcome to our Freshman Majority Members, Ron DeSantis and Trey Radel, both of whom hail from the great State of Florida. And although not new to Congress I would like to welcome two new additions to the Subcommittee on the Minority side of the aisle, Theodore Deutch and Alan Grayson, also both from the great State of Florida.

  • The Evolution of the Digital Political Advertising Network
    PLATFORMS AND OUTSIDERS IN PARTY NETWORKS: THE EVOLUTION OF THE DIGITAL POLITICAL ADVERTISING NETWORK Bridget Barrett A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts at the Hussman School of Journalism and Media. Chapel Hill 2020 Approved by: Daniel Kreiss Adam Saffer Adam Sheingate © 2020 Bridget Barrett ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Bridget Barrett: Platforms and Outsiders in Party Networks: The Evolution of the Digital Political Advertising Network (Under the direction of Daniel Kreiss) Scholars seldom examine the companies that campaigns hire to run digital advertising. This thesis presents the first network analysis of relationships between federal political committees (n = 2,077) and the companies they hired for electoral digital political advertising services (n = 1,034) across 13 years (2003–2016) and three election cycles (2008, 2012, and 2016). The network expanded from 333 nodes in 2008 to 2,202 nodes in 2016. In 2012 and 2016, Facebook and Google had the highest normalized betweenness centrality (.34 and .27 in 2012 and .55 and .24 in 2016 respectively). Given their positions in the network, Facebook and Google should be considered consequential members of party networks. Of advertising agencies hired in the 2016 electoral cycle, 23% had no declared political specialization and were hired disproportionately by non-incumbents. The thesis argues their motivations may not be as well-aligned with party goals as those of established political professionals. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES AND FIGURES ....................................................................................................................

  • Clarification of Urban Institute Estimates of Uncompensated Care in Florida
    April 21, 2015 Clarification of Urban Institute Estimates Of Uncompensated Care in Florida In 2012, we estimated that the total amount of uncompensated care provided on behalf of the uninsured in Florida would fall from $4.9 billion to $1.6 billion a year under the ACA with Medicaid expansion, a decrease of nearly 70 percent.1 Recently, the $1.6 billion has been quoted in letters from Justin M. Senior and six members of Florida’s Congressional delegation to CMS regarding the future of Florida’s Low Income Pool (LIP).2 While the Urban Institute does not have a position on the state’s waiver request for LIP, we are concerned that our estimate may have been misinterpreted as a measure of the need for LIP to continue funding uncompensated care under Medicaid expansion. The $1.6 billion estimate should not be used as an estimate of the amount that LIP would spend or need to spend on hospital care for the uninsured under Medicaid expansion. First, the estimate includes health care from all providers, not just hospitals. Second, it includes all funding sources for uncompensated care. Other programs besides the LIP waiver would continue to finance hospital uncompensated care in Florida. These include, but are not limited to, Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) funding under Medicare and Medicaid, Veterans Administration hospitals, and local government indigent care funding.3 Thus, the amount of uncompensated care funded through the LIP waiver would be a fraction of the $1.6 billion in total uncompensated care. We have not published an estimate of what that fraction would be because that would require much more detailed data than we currently have access to.
