Just sell me about the movement in your own words basically. What do you think is, what it means, and what it does? DP: The Tea Party in general or my group? AC: Your group. DP: Well, we’re kind of like, I use the term Tea Party kind of loosely, we are more libertarian than the main stream- or what has become the main stream Tea Party. As far as grassroots organizing, we mainly, the things we do, hand out information. We do what we call street actions. So, we’ll have sign waves. During the presidential campaign, we did Ron Paul sign waves. We will hand out DVDs and flyers. The philosophy is basically that politics is really just- it’s a venue to connect with people who are already active. Most people in politics are activists in some form or another- so what I would say is the long hanging fruit. So we’re looking to connect with people who are already active and spread the message of liberty that way. It’s kind of like you’re getting more bang for your buck. Rather than converting ordinary citizens who may or may not get involved. Obviously, I’m willing to spread the message of liberty to anyone who is willing to listen and to some people who aren’t willing to listen (laughing). But, our group in particular, we try to focus on people that are already active. They may not be open to the message or to our politics, but that’s the idea- so that they can kind of see the value to it. That way, we can convert them into instant activists of liberty. AC: Ok. Is there a particular group that you target or do you go with a blanket everyone involved? DP: Yea. Anyone that’s involved. I mean, I’m pretty disappointed in the Tea Party movement because they started out, you know- it’s an older movement first of all. I’m, you know, the youngest, towards the younger side in my mid-thirties. It’s an older movement. Really, voting is the only tool the use for their “activism.” They go to a rally for an hour and wave signs and flags and then it’s over until November. I got really excited when Occupy popped up. And I started Occupy the Fed, which was a kind of a sub-working group of Occupy, to educate people- you know, obviously Occupy is more of a “leftist” movement and we thought it was important to not shun them, or ignore them, or just be critical of them. But we went in, infiltrated if you want to say that, to spread the message about free markets, to make them understand that our economy is already essentially planned. It’s essentially planned by Wall Street itself. By calling for more regulation, you are giving the fox the keys to the hen house. So that’s what we did through Occupy the Fed, to try and spread the message about the Federal Reserve and its relationship with Wall Street and the government. Yea, that’s basically, like you know, the methods we tend to use. We’ll go to CPAC, we’ll go to the DNC, the RNC, I’ve got people down there right now at the RNC, spreading the word about the NDAA, which is an important issue. And, yea, we will take different tactics and different messages depending on which group we are talking to. So, I just recently did a raw milk and lemonade freedom day in DC. We’re actually going to do one in Union Square, hopefully in a couple of weeks. Basically, it’s about legalizing raw milk and, I am sure you have heard about the crack-down on lemonade stands (laughing)? Kid’s without permits? AC: Yea. DP: The raw milk kind of appeals to, you know, healthy food fanatics, people who eat organic, vegans, so it kind of tends to be more left-leaning people, as opposed to free markets, which mostly the right would appreciate that. So, we both from that angle talk to somebody on the right. AC: Ok. You told me a lot right there. What would you consider to be the inspiration for your organization? DP: What would be- I would say probably, kind of the core is- Gandhi said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.” That’s kind of like our core and the non-aggression principle. The idea that you never initiate force against another person else unless it’s in direct self- defense. So the government violates the non-aggression principle…. I mean really everything it does is based on force. AC: How do people join your organization? DP: Most of the people are-most of the people, I would say, get recruited through when we do a street action. Somebody will like the message and be excited that there’s other people, most of the time they’re already on to the message, already libertarians. But certainly, we have converted quite a few people who were mainstream, what I would call neo-conservatives, who then became more libertarian, if not libertarians. AC: You were going into- how you are the youngest person in your organization… DP: I am not the youngest person in my organization. I meant in the overall Tea Party movement. AC: Ok. DP: My group tends to be young, but it does range. AC: Ok, so I was going to go into demographics, dynamics, relationships within the organization, and what kind of hierarchy you have. DP: None. I mean, essentially myself and maybe a handful of others are kind of leaders and just in the sense that we take the most action. So people tend to view us a leaders but there’s no real structure. There’s no government. AC: Ok. And it’s generally more young people, but there is variation? DP: Yea, I mean, we have one of our more active members, Tina, is in her- I don’t want to be insulting- but I am guessing that she must be in her late 40s or her early 50s. So, I mean, we have people that are even older, in their 70s. Captain Tom is in his 70s. I mean he’s not that active, but he supports financially stuff like that. AC: Ok, that comes to another good question. How do you fund your organization? DP: We self-fund it. If we need to make a flyer or a glossy about a particular issue, we generally kind of fund raise and generally the older people in the movement, in the group, will donate the most. AC: So that kind of gives you a little bit of independence, but then again a little bit of limitation because of money? DP: Yea, sure. This is real grassroots. We have no real sponsorship. AC: Ok. What do you find are effective tools for organizing and for getting your message out? DP: Facebook. AC: Facebook? DP: Yea. Facebook, Meetup.com. Those are probably the two main tools. AC: Social media, things like that? DP: Yea. Those are really the two most powerful ones that we find effective. Everybody is addicted to Facebook. So, we try and use it for something good instead of nonsense. AC: Do you find it- Well, you were saying before that you were mainly dealing with people who are active, but do you find it hard, when you do try and get to the general public, do you find it difficult to get your message to them? DP: I think that- I came from sales.

Roger Scruton. First published inThe Meaning of Conservatism is now recognized as a major contribution to political thought, and the liveliest and most provocative modern statement of the traditional "paleo-conservative" position. Roger Scruton challenges those who would regard themselves as conservatives, and also their opponents. Conservatism, he argues, has little in common with liberalism, and is only tenuously related to the market economy, to monetarism, to free enterprise, or to capitalism. The Meaning of Conservatism involves neither hostility toward the state, nor the desire to limit the state's obligation toward the citizen. Its conceptions of society, law, and citizenship regard the individual not The Meaning of Conservatism the premise but as the conclusion of politics. At the same time it is fundamentally opposed to the ethic of social justice, to equality of station, opportunity, income, and achievement, and to the attempt to bring major institutions of society - such as schools and universities - under government control.

  • The Year of Faith Last Year, Our Holy Father, Benedict XVI Announced That from October 11, 2012 to Novem- Ber 24, 2013 the Church Will Celebrate a Year of Faith
    Autumn 2012 A Newsletter for the Families and Friends of the Monastery of Our Lady of the Rosary The Year of Faith Last year, our Holy Father, Benedict XVI announced that from October 11, 2012 to Novem- ber 24, 2013 the Church will celebrate a Year of Faith. This invitation by the Church to deepen the gift of Faith in our lives is tremendous gift of grace! Hopefully, there will be am- ple opportunities to avail yourself of initiatives in your parishes that will help deepen this theological virtue in your life. The Holy Father wrote in the letter initiating the Year of Faith that it “is a summons to an authentic and renewed conversion to the Lord, the one Savior of the world.” We really encourage you to read the whole letter Pope Benedict XVI wrote. It is a beautiful meditation on the gift of Faith that has been given to us by God! It is entitled Porta fidei , The Door of Faith. There is a special website devoted to the Year of Faith: www.annusfidei.va . You can find the Holy Father’s letter there along with many resources for your own personal growth, for use in parishes or special groups. The Church has great hopes for us as each one of us celebrates this Year of Grace. “In our days too faith is a gift to rediscover, to cultivate and to bear witness to” because the Lord “grants each one of us to live the beauty and joy of being Christians.” Sister Mary Peter of Jesus Crucified 1916—2012 On 1 April, Palm Sunday this year, our little Sr.

  • The Medium Is the Masses: Embodied Amplifcation, Urban Occupation
    The Medium is the Masses: Embodied Amplifcation, Urban Occupation Katherine Kelp-Stebbins and Allison M. Schifani In September 2011, groups of community organizers, activists, and others gathered to protest economic inequality in New York City’s Zuccotti Park under the banner of "Occupy Wall Street." The crowd that formed in the heart of the city’s financial district launched what became a diverse and global movement now known simply as "Occupy." In this initiatory protest, a city ordinance prevented speakers from using electronic amplification systems to address the large audience. Occupiers tactically responded to the absence of microphones or megaphones and speaker systems with an embodied technology known as the people’s mic. In its practice, participants hoping to address the crowds in attendance and at general assemblies (meetings open to all for planning future actions and administering to the daily needs of the occupiers) shouted “mic check,” and the crowd of bodies around them loudly echoed the speaker in response. Thus, they could deliver messages to those out of earshot in the occupied spaces. This phenomenon spread well beyond the boundaries of Zuccotti Park to Occupy protests in Oakland, Los Angeles, Detroit, Portland, and elsewhere. The people’s mic became so emblematic and—we will argue—intrinsic to the objectives of occupation that participants used it instead of electronic Media Fields Journal no. 9 (2015) 2 Medium is the Masses amplification in many places where such communication systems were legal and available. Our project is to articulate the specific context and stakes involved in Occupy’s tactical use of embodied technology.

Moreover, the emotional, medical, legal and economic problems of the homeless leads to their stigmatization by the general public, as well as by the social service providers and governmental agencies empowered to support them. Once branded as deviant or pathological members of society, the homeless find themselves being treated as second-class citizens. In response to this change of status and in an attempt to gain agency with which to defend themselves, homeless citizens form imagined communities such as my target subject group.

The familiar political equipoise was disturbed by the widening of the franchise and the emergence of radical new threats in the form of New Liberalism and Socialism. Some conservatives responded to these changes by emphasising the importance of individual liberty and the preservation of the existing social structure and institutions.

The New York State Education Department (NYSED) collects a tremendous amount of information on New York State (NYS) schools. For the purposes of this study, quantitative NYSED data on enrollment and English Language and Mathematics Regents Examination scores are analyzed. Fifteen high schools in Long Island, New York, have a minimum 80% minority rate. Most of the minority subgroups in the schools under analysis are Black or African American and Hispanic or Latin American. Four Long Island high schools were chosen because most of their minority students are Black or African American and Hispanic or Latin American and scored in the top 33% on their Common Core English Language Arts and Algebra Regents Examinations compared to the other 11 high-minority high schools.
