  • FREEDOM PRIMER No.L
    FREEDOM PRIMER No.l The Convention Challenge and The Freedom Vote THE CHALLENGE AT THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION What Was The Democratic National Convention? The Democratic National Convention was a big meeting held by the National Democratic Party at Atlantic City in August. People who represent the Party came to the Convention from every state in the country. They came to decide who would be the candidates of the Democratic Party for President and Vice-President of the United States in the election this year on November 3rd. They also came to decide what the Platform of the National Democratic Party would be. The Platform is a paper that says what the Party thinks should be done about things like Housing, Education, Welfare, and Civil Rights. Why Did The Freedom Democratic Party Go To The Convention? The Freedom Democratic Party (FDP) sent a delegation of 68 people to the Convention. These people wanted to represent you at the Convention. They said that they should be seated at the Convention instead of the people sent by the Regular Democratic Party of Mississippi. The Regular Democratic Party of Mississippi only has white people in it. But the Freedom Democratic Party is open to all people -- black and white. So the delegates from the Freedom Democratic Party told the Convention ±t was the real representative of all the people of Mississippi. How Was The Regular Democratic Party Delegation Chosen? The Regular Democratic Party of Mississippi also sent 68 -^ people to the Convention in Atlantic City. But these people were not chosen by all the people of Mississippi.

  • F 202.955.5564 FEDERAL UPDATE July 2013 House
    800 17th Street, NW, Suite 1100 Washington, DC 20006 T 202.955.3000 | F 202.955.5564 FEDERAL UPDATE July 2013 House Appropriations Update: The House Appropriations Transportation, Housing and Urban Develop subcommittee marked up the bill on June 19. The full House Appropriations Committee approved the bill on June 27. The bill provides $44.1 billion in discretionary spending – a reduction of $7.7 billion below the FY 2013 enacted level and $13.9 billion below the President’s budget request. The measure fully funds the MAP-21 surface transportation law, avoids Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) furloughs, and provides money for contract air traffic control towers. However, it also includes a provision that would eliminate funding for California's high-speed rail project, and it effectively ends the TIGER discretionary grant program. The bill funds Federal Transit Administration (FTA) New Starts at $1.817 billion, 2.1 percent below the FY 2013 funding level and 8.4 percent decrease below the president's budget request. The bill does not include funding for the president's $50 billion infrastructure stimulus funding proposal. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor has indicated that he hopes to bring the measure to floor during the week of July 29. However, passage of the legislation – which has already proven controversial due to its steep cuts – remains uncertain as Democrats are strongly opposed. Additionally, with the August recess fast approaching and consideration of recent appropriations bills taking longer than expected, it is possible consideration of the bill could be delayed. Senate Appropriations Update: The full Senate began consideration of its version of the FY 2014 Transportation, Housing, and Urban Development (THUD) Appropriations bill during the week of July 22.

  • Women and the Presidency
    Women and the Presidency By Cynthia Richie Terrell* I. Introduction As six women entered the field of Democratic presidential candidates in 2019, the political media rushed to declare 2020 a new “year of the woman.” In the Washington Post, one political commentator proclaimed that “2020 may be historic for women in more ways than one”1 given that four of these woman presidential candidates were already holding a U.S. Senate seat. A writer for Vox similarly hailed the “unprecedented range of solid women” seeking the nomination and urged Democrats to nominate one of them.2 Politico ran a piece definitively declaring that “2020 will be the year of the woman” and went on to suggest that the “Democratic primary landscape looks to be tilted to another woman presidential nominee.”3 The excited tone projected by the media carried an air of inevitability: after Hillary Clinton lost in 2016, despite receiving 2.8 million more popular votes than her opponent, ever more women were running for the presidency. There is a reason, however, why historical inevitably has not yet been realized. Although Americans have selected a president 58 times, a man has won every one of these contests. Before 2019, a major party’s presidential debates had never featured more than one woman. Progress toward gender balance in politics has moved at a glacial pace. In 1937, seventeen years after passage of the Nineteenth Amendment, Gallup conducted a poll in which Americans were asked whether they would support a woman for president “if she were qualified in every other respect?”4 * Cynthia Richie Terrell is the founder and executive director of RepresentWomen, an organization dedicated to advancing women’s representation and leadership in the United States.

Nonetheless, I would be remiss if I did not mention the follow- ing persons and organizations without whom this dissertation would not have been possible. First, I give all honor and glory to my savior, Jesus. Without Him, I am nothing. Thank you for believing in me and being with me every step of the way. Second, I would like to thank my late mother, Ella Ruth Brenson, for the sacrifices you made for my siblings and I, but above all, thank you for introducing me to the unconditional love of Jesus.
