  • Democracy in the United States
    Democracy in the United States The United States is a representative democracy. This means that our government is elected by citizens. Here, citizens vote for their government officials. These officials represent the citizens’ ideas and concerns in government. Voting is one way to participate in our democracy. Citizens can also contact their officials when they want to support or change a law. Voting in an election and contacting our elected officials are two ways that Americans can participate in their democracy. Voting booth in Atascadero, California, in 2008. Photo by Ace Armstrong.

  • The 2020 Presidential Election: Provisions of the Constitution and U.S. Code
    PREFACE The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is proud to acknowledge its role in the Presidential election pro- cess. NARA’s Office of the Federal Register (OFR) acts as the administrator of the Electoral College and carries out the duties of the Archivist. In this role, the OFR is charged with helping the States carry out their election responsibilities, ensuring the completeness and integrity of the Electoral College documents submitted to Congress, and informing the public about the Presidential election process. The Electoral College system was established under Article II and Amendment 12 of the U.S. Constitution. In each State, the voters choose electors to select the President and Vice President of the United States, based on the results of the Novem- ber general election. Before the general election, the Archivist officially notifies each State’s governor and the Mayor of the District of Columbia of their electoral responsibilities. OFR provides instructions and resources to help the States and District of Columbia carry out those responsibilities. As the results of the popular vote are finalized in each state, election officials create Certificates of Ascertainment, which establish the credentials of their electors, that are sent to OFR. In December, the electors hold meetings in their States to vote for President and Vice President. The electors seal Certificates of Vote and send them to the OFR and Congress. In January, Congress sits in joint session to certify the election of the President and Vice President. In the year after the election, electoral documents are held at the OFR for public viewing, and then transferred to the Archives of the United States for permanent retention and access.

  • Letter of Thanks to Idaho Governor Brad Little
    January 24, 2019 The Honorable Brad Little Governor of Idaho State Capitol 700 West Jefferson Street Boise, ID 83702 Dear Governor Little: The members of the Outdoor Recreation Roundtable (ORR) congratulate you on your election as Governor of Idaho. We look forward to working with you and your administration to ensure that access to and funding for Idaho’s world-class recreation experiences remain an integral part of Idaho’s job growth, tourism, economic well-being and quality of life. The outdoor recreation economy is an essential part of our country’s well-being. According to a 2018 report by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the outdoor recreation economy accounts for 2.2% of the American economy and supports 4.6 million jobs. In Idaho alone, it is responsible for $7.8 billion in consumer spending and 78,000 jobs. Many of these jobs are in rural areas that rely on Idaho’s accessible outdoor infrastructure and healthy wildlife habitats. You said it best in your recent State of the State address—Idaho’s public lands and waters are surely one of the state’s greatest assets. We applaud your commitment to expanding access, improving visitor experiences and addressing threats to Idaho’s outdoor treasures. Ten of your fellow governors across the country—many of them in neighboring Western states— have made similar commitments to grow the outdoor recreation economy and attract outdoor businesses to their states by creating offices of outdoor recreation. We encourage you to do the same, and offer knowledge, experience and support from the entire outdoor recreation industry.

Box 110001 Juneau, AK 99811-0001 April 2, 2020 Dear Governor Dunleavy: First, thank you and the many state agency and department leaders and staff for the massive efforts that you have undertaken to provide leadership and mobilize state resources to confront the COVID-19 pandemic. We write to urge you to use your leadership and vision to take additional steps to protect the welfare of all Alaskans, but especially those with disabilities, during this crisis. As you are aware, adults and children with disabilities are among those at the greatest risk in this crisis because so many are in institutions or incarcerated, homeless, seniors or medically compromised, or dependent on others for care. We also ask you to use your leadership to ensure that people with disabilities will not be disproportionately affected by any loss of services and benefits during the pandemic, protecting everyone in this crisis is the best public policy. As you have recognized, Alaska must ensure that all our citizens have access to a safe living situation, medical care and other resources to weather this crisis. In the context of this pandemic, the undersigned organizations agree and strongly endorse the message that the presence of a disability should not be an indicator for withholding or limiting access to medical care.

  • EPA Response to Idaho Recommendation (PDF)
    #.oED Sr4T,es UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 0; '>Z REGION 10 sox^^oQ 1200 Sixth Avenue, Suite 900 Seattle, Washington 98101-3140 y?44 PROZ^' OFFICE OF THE REGIONAL ADMINISTRATOR FEB. 6 2013 The Honorable C. L. "Butch" Otter Governor of the State of Idaho State Capitol P.O. Box 83720 Boise, Idaho 83720 Dear Governor Otter: Thank you for the recommendations provided by Toni Hardesty the Director of the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality dated May 16, 2011, on air quality designations for the State of Idaho for the 2010 revision to the primary National Ambient Air Quality Standard for sulfur dioxide (SO2). Reducing levels of sulfur dioxide pollution is an important part of the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) commitment to a clean, healthy environment. Exposure to SO2 can cause a range of adverse health effects, including narrowing of the airways which can cause difficulty in breathing and increased asthma symptoms. This letter is to notify you of the EPA's preliminary intentions regarding your recommended designations. On June 3, 2010, the EPA strengthened the health-based or "primary" standard for SO2 by establishing a standard for 1-hour average SO2 concentrations at a level of 75 parts per billion. The Clean Air Act requires the EPA to complete the initial designations process within two years of promulgating a new or revised standard. If the Administrator has insufficient information to make these designations, the EPA has the authority to extend the designation process by up to one year. On July 27, 2012, the EPA announced that it had insufficient information to complete the designations for the 1-hour SO2 standard within two years and extended the designations deadline to June 3, 2013.

We are Tgrateful every fall for the twenty-plus varieties that are provided during the peak of apple sea- son for our customers’ enjoyment! It was the cold wet winter of 1984 when Tim Bates and Karen Schmitt began taming the wild property that is now their apple farm. Today, more than 3 genera- tions join together to care for The Apple Farm and this family affair is one that is enjoyed by all! “Our years of working the farm led us from conventional practices, through transi- tion, and on to many years of being certified organic. We want to continue to evolve and have chosen biodynamic farming as a framework in which we can further de- velop our relationship with our farm. It is an endlessly fascinating endeavor and we are all energized by the new and old ideas that we unearth.” - from www.philoapplefarm.com Tim, Karen and family produce a wide variety of products beyond their apples. The delicious, delec- table apples that they grow later become apple syrup, apple cider vinegar and hard apple cider, to name a few.

  • Georgia Government 1 (PDF)
    Georgia Government Summary Dr. Sarah Kuck and Mr. Roger Marietta Introduction Georgia’s state government was formed in 1776, and since that time the State Constitution has been rewritten 10 times and amended hundreds of times. To amend the Georgia Constitution today, both houses of the Georgia General Assembly must pass the proposed Constitutional amendment by a two-thirds vote. The amendment ratification is voted on by the people in the next general election, and a majority of the voters must approve. Georgia’s state government and its politics have been shaped by its history. 2011 is the sesquicentennial of the beginning of the Civil War. President Lincoln and General Sherman, as hated Republicans, left a simmering anger as the Civil War and slavery came to an end. The Democratic Party dominated Georgia politics until the period after the Civil War known as Reconstruction. Reconstruction brought the freed slaves into the political process as Republicans, and they gained many elected offices from 1865 until 1877. When the Posse Comitatus Act was passed by Congress and Federal troops could no longer enforce state and local laws, the political winds shifted. From 1877 until 1954, “Jim Crow” laws enforced segregation in Georgia while the Democrats dominated the politics of Georgia under the banner of “state rights”. Many Caucasian voters in Georgia were “Yellow Dog” Democrats – they would vote Democrat even if the candidate was a yellow dog. With the Supreme Court’s reversal of Plessy v Ferguson as a result of Brown v Board of Education of Topeka Kansas, coupled with the emergence of Dr.
