DM: Good afternoon. r«. <M «=y HB:Well after going through all this testimony, and the reading Fve done and the hearing of *T all me issues raised, I have but really one question. And that is why do you feel compelled to O bring this challenge against Mr. Nader and Mr. Camejo, who represent, in my judgment, the 2 views of not less than 4,000 signatories of petitions mat attempt to place him on the ballot in Maine? And in your own words can you explain to me what your motivations are? DM: We had heard from several people who fefo (hat they were somewhat tricked into signing these petitions. We also were alerted to problems in other states—many other states. As I'm sure you're aware... HB: No, I am not aware, but... DM: So we started looking into the petitions themselves; we started looking into the electors, and just to make sure everything was okay. This is a nationwide process mat many states are going through the exact same thing with the exact same problems. HB: When you say it's a nationwide process, is it being coordinated from any central location? DM: Urn...the Democratic Party. The national Party is certainly looking at it. There's also an organization called stopnader.com. HB: Okay. Are yon affiliate with stopnader.com? DM: I am not at all. HB: Are you affiliated with the Democratic Party? DM: I most certainly am. HB: In what capacity is that? DM: I am the Chair of the Maine Democratic Party. HB: The Chair of the Maine Democratic Party. Do you have any personal feeling or belief toward eitfarr candidate Nader or ffncfffrttg O»"g|> *h«* they personally are unqualified for the office of President and Vice President of the United States? T>M-1 «to"*t famw one riling afrnnt the VJM Pyea^gntjfll cmiflidatp Om*jn Ihavenoidea. In my personal opinion, Mr. Nader is not qualified for me. rH HB: Right HI rH DM: In my qualifications. ; O J^j HB: But is he unfit for office in anyway that would disqualify him personally or legally to *T *pply *ff fr« g gmfJJdqtg in Wiy a***? ^M* *^> frim^, ftmi*1, Harem, placed nm vnters tir persons? T 0 DM: There were some states—I don't have the documentation mfrcmt of me now---that 2 many many of his signatures were removed. HB: Tm talking about Mr. Nader personally now. DM: Personally? HB:Yes. DM: I think he's old enough and a citizen, and he meets all me qualifications in the Constitution. HB: You're not aware that he's ever committed any crimes... DM: I'm not aware. HB: That would disqualify him for running for office? DM: No. HB: You're not aware of any campaigns he's run to discredit people on a false basis or lend the air of fraud to the careers of other candidates for public office? DM: I'm not aware. HB: Or mistake or lack of qualification due to anything other than perhaps their public positions—such as policy decisions, election records, that kind of thing? You're not aware of Mr. Nader being disqualified for any reason tfi«t the public can scrutinize through die media, through libraries, through records of any kind, other than peihaps, you know, on a petition basis that you brought your petition on today? DM: There are many states that have the same questions. But other than that, I'm not aware of any fraud that Mr. Nader has committed. HB: Or any other basis he should be disqualified as a candidate for President of the United States? DM: No.

Most analyses of public radio listening examine the performance of individual stations within this large mix, the contributions of specific national programs, or aggregate numbers for the system as a whole. This report takes a different approach. Through an extensive, multi-year study of 228 stations that generate about 80% of public radio’s audience, we review patterns of listening to groups of stations categorized by the formats that they present. We find that stations that pursue different format strategies – news, classical, jazz, AAA, and the principal combinations of these – have experienced significantly different patterns of audience growth in recent years and important differences in key audience behaviors such as loyalty and time spent listening. This quantitative study complements qualitative research that the Station Resource Group, in partnership with Public Radio Program Directors, and others have pursued on the values and benefits listeners perceive in different formats and format combinations. Key findings of The Public Radio Format Study include: • In a time of relentless news cycles and a near abandonment of news by many commercial stations, public radio’s news and information stations have seen a 55% increase in their average audience from Spring 1999 to Fall 2004.

  • I Have Been a Longtime Fan of Singer-Songwriter Jackson Browne. I
    Ezk 37.1-14; Ps 104:25-35,37; Acts 2:1-21; Jn 15:26-27; 16:4b-15 I have been a longtime fan of singer-songwriter Jackson Browne. I particularly love his song: “Running on Empty”: Looking out at the road, rushing under my wheels; Looking back at the years gone by, like, so many summer fields; I look around for the friends that I used to turn to, to pull me through; Looking into their eyes ….I see them running too! Running on empty;…. Running blind Running into the sun;…. But, I’m running behind. What makes this song so compelling is that, sadly, all too many of us are, “Running on empty.” The song describes a lot of us in this world, both literally and figuratively. As an aviator, gas is very important to me. Gas is good; no gas is simply, “airplane becomes big metal falling object.” And, as a carrier pilot, with lots of wet, ocean all around, you always want full gas tanks. So, you “top-off” from the airborne “tanker” aircraft every chance you get. Much like a lot of people trying to “top-off” their car’s gas tanks the past few weeks! I can honestly say that, as a pilot, I have never run out of gas… in the air that is. On the ground is another subject. My husband, Mike, and I were driving to his parent’s home in Prosperity, South Carolina late one Friday night. And we had one of those ‘married couple’ discussions. I kept recommending that we should stop for gas; and he insisted that we could make it.

    Commission Meeting 05/26/2021 STATE OF MAINE Agenda Item #2 COMMISSION ON GOVERNMENTAL ETHICS AND ELECTION PRACTICES 135 STATE HOUSE STATION AUGUSTA, MAINE 04333-0135 To: Commission From: Michael Dunn, Esq., Political Committee and Lobbyist Registrar Date: May 18, 2021 Re: Request for Investigation of Sanford Democrats On February 17, 2021, the Maine Commission on Governmental Ethics and Election Practices (the “Commission”) received a request for an investigation (the “Complaint”) from the Sanford Republican Committee alleging that the Sanford Democratic Committee failed to file campaign finance reports since 2006. The Complaint alleges that the Sanford Democrats have rented or were provided office space at 911 Main St., Sanford during the 2020 election and that the value of that space would have exceeded the $1,500 threshold to require the Sanford Democrats to file campaign finance reports. The Complaint goes on to indicate that in 2016, 2012, and 2008, the Sandford Democratic Committee operating out of a space at 463 Main St., Springvale, and at 763 Main St., Sanford. The Sanford Republicans request that the Commission conduct an investigation into the unfiled campaign finance reports. The Sanford Democratic Committee submitted its response, dated March 10, 2021. The Sanford Democratic Committee indicates that they were not the leasee for any of the offices. On April 6, 2021, Commission staff spoke with Mr. Joseph Hanslip and Ms. Rachel Sherman, the Treasurer and Chair of the Sanford Democratic Committee. The officers indicated that the committee has not raised or spent over $1,500 since 2006. The Sanford Democratic Committee does not use the office the space for its own purposes; the office space (911 Main Street) is rented from the Garmour Realty Group by the Maine State Democratic Committee to support its federal campaigns.

  • Low Turnout in American Elections David Hill Bridgewater State College
    Bridgewater Review Volume 20 | Issue 1 Article 5 Jun-2001 Low Turnout in American Elections David Hill Bridgewater State College Recommended Citation Hill, David (2001). Low Turnout in American Elections. Bridgewater Review, 20(1), 3-7. Available at: http://vc.bridgew.edu/br_rev/vol20/iss1/5 This item is available as part of Virtual Commons, the open-access institutional repository of Bridgewater State University, Bridgewater, Massachusetts. One aspect of the election, however, was remarkably simi­ lar to past elections. As with every presidential election since 1972 only about half of the eligible citizens actually cast a ballot. While final vote totals have yet to be confirmed by the Federal Election Commission, most estimates indicate turnout nationwide was somewhere between 50 and 52%, which is a modest increase over the 49% rate in 1996 (the lowest since 1924). While turnout indeed increased, this by no means suggests American democracy is on the mend. 2000 is simply another in a long line of low turnout elections since 1972. Given the closeness of the election, the low turnout is surprising. With so much in the balance and the intense focus of the media on the closeness of the election one would expect citizens to show up and participate in order to make a difference. Once again, however, students Low TURNOUT of political participation are left asking, why is turnout in American elections so low? In order to understand participation rates in the United IN AMERICAN States one must compare our turnout with that of other comparable democracies (See Figure 1) . Between 1960 and ELECTIONS 1995 turnout in 24 democracies without mandatory voting averaged 80% .
