  • CHAPTER 8 FLORIDA Florida First Emerged on the Presidential
    CHAPTER 8 FLORIDA Florida first emerged on the presidential primary scene in 1988, when it was one of the southern states that participated in the first-ever Super Tuesday. Four years later, in 1992, Florida was propelled to the front rank of important primary states when the news media selected it for the final showdown between Governor Bill Clinton of Arkansas and former- U.S. Senator Paul Tsongas of Massachusetts. In the 1992 race for the Democratic nomination for president, Paul Tsongas got off to a fast start by winning the New Hampshire primary. Tsongas next won the Maryland primary, but that same day Bill Clinton swept to victory in the southern state of Georgia. The two candidates thus were running neck and neck when they faced off against one another in Florida on the second Tuesday in March. Although located in the South and one of the states that seceded from the Union during the American Civil War, Florida is not considered a typical southern state by voting-behavior analysts. The major reason for this is the large number of former northern voters who have moved to South Florida, either to retire or to enjoy the outdoor lifestyle of one of the fastest-growing states in the nation. These former northerners were viewed as ripe targets for the Paul Tsongas campaign. His heavy Massachusetts accent would not sound quite so strange to them, and his New Hampshire and Maryland primary victories already had demonstrated his strong appeal to people from the northern part of the nation. Furthermore, in the 1988 presidential elec- tion, Florida had voted for Democratic presidential candidate Michael Dukakis, like Tsongas a Greek from Massachusetts.

They continue what Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton calls “the unfinished business of the 21st century.” This work is neither new, easy, safe, nor quick. Women demanding the vote regularly confronted ingrained, often violent prejudice as they struggled to convince of the ratification of men — who had sole control over their governments — the 19th Amendment to recognize that the ballot belonged to women, as well as men. No matter where women lived, they knew that the right to vote meant more than casting their ballot. It meant their status as equal citizens — their human rights — could no longer be discounted. Even though most women had the right to vote as the century ended, many still fought to have their voices heard. Then First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton's of the Fourth World Conference proclamation that “women’s rights are human rights and human rights are women’s rights” ricocheted around the on Women in Beijing equator and jump started a global movement.

  • Hillary Rodham Clinton
    Hillary Rodham Clinton: A History of Scandal, Corruption and Cronyism Dear Concerned American, Liberty Guard is publishing this booklet on Hillary Rodham Clinton’s history of scandal, corruption and cronyism because you won’t hear much about it from the mainstream news media. This booklet provides a summary of Hillary Clinton’s most serious scandals (that we know about so far), including many probable crimes. Our goal is to have tens of millions of Americans reading this little book before the 2016 Election so that Americans can make an informed decision with their vote. But we need your immediate help to do this. It costs us about $1 to send a copy of this little book through the mail to one American citizen. So if you are able to send LIBERTY GUARD a donation of $25, for example, this will allow us to distribute a copy of this little book via postal mail to 25 citizens. If you are able to send a $15 donation, we can put this booklet in the mailboxes of 15 Americans. Will you help make this HILLARY CLINTON BOOK DISTRIBUTION CAMPAIGN the success I know it will be if every patriot who reads this letter contributes what they can? Most members and supporters of LIBERTY GUARD are sending donations in the $15 to $25 range — though some of our friends are blessed to be able to send larger donations of $50, $100, $500, $1,000 or even more, while our other friends are making an equal sacrifice by sending donations of $12, $10 or even $8.

    © Copyright 2020 Yunkang Yang The Political Logic of the Radical Right Media Sphere in the United States Yunkang Yang A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2020 Reading Committee: W. Lance Bennett, Chair Matthew J. Powers Kirsten A. Foot Adrienne Russell Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Communication University of Washington Abstract The Political Logic of the Radical Right Media Sphere in the United States Yunkang Yang Chair of the Supervisory Committee: W. Lance Bennett Department of Communication Democracy in America is threatened by an increased level of false information circulating through online media networks. Previous research has found that radical right media such as Fox News and Breitbart are the principal incubators and distributors of online disinformation. In this dissertation, I draw attention to their political mobilizing logic and propose a new theoretical framework to analyze major radical right media in the U.S. Contrasted with the old partisan media literature that regarded radical right media as partisan news organizations, I argue that media outlets such as Fox News and Breitbart are better understood as hybrid network organizations. This means that many radical right media can function as partisan journalism producers, disinformation distributors, and in many cases political organizations at the same time. They not only provide partisan news reporting but also engage in a variety of political activities such as spreading disinformation, conducting opposition research, contacting voters, and campaigning and fundraising for politicians. In addition, many radical right media are also capable of forming emerging political organization networks that can mobilize resources, coordinate actions, and pursue tangible political goals at strategic moments in response to the changing political environment.

  • National Geographic's Presentation Of: The
    NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC’S PRESENTATION OF: THE SECRETS OF FREEMASONRY Research From The Library of: Dr. Robin Loxley, D.D. Copyright 2006 INTRODUCTION It is obvious that NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC got a hold of information from other resources and decided to do a cable presentation on May 22, 2006, which narrates most of my website threads in short two hour special. It was humorous to see Masons being interviewed and trying to fool the public with flattering speech. I watched the National Geographic special entitled: THE SECRETS OF FREEMASONRY and I was humored to see some of what I’ve studied as coming out of the closet. My first response was: Where was National Geographic during the 1980s with this information? Anyways, it’s nice to know that they had an excellent presentation and I was impressed with how they went about explaining the layout of Washington D.C. I was laughing hysterically when a Mason was interviewed for his opinion about the PENTGRAM being laid out in a street design but incomplete. The Mason made a statement: “There is a line missing from the Pentagram so it’s not really a Pentagram. If it was a Pentagram, then why is there a line missing?” He downplays the street layout of the Pentagram with its bottom point touching the White House. The Mason was obviously IGNORANT of one detail that I caught right away as to why there was ONE LINE MISSING from the pentagram in the street layout. If you didn’t catch it, the right side of the pentagram star (Bottom right line) is missing from the street layout, thus it would prove that the pentagram wasn’t completed.

  • Rankin V. Rodham
    Rankin v. Rodham: The Difference between Shattering and Cracking the !2 It’s Tuesday, November 7th of the year 1916. Jeannette Rankin has just successfully won her campaign in running for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. This achievement makes her the very first woman to ever serve in Congress. The precedence of this achievement is only emphasized by the fact that the people of Montana elected her into Congress four years before the 19th amendment, that allowed women across the country to vote, had been ratified. Rankin had just made history, and her legacy had only just begun. Flash forward to almost exactly one hundred years from that historic date. It’s Tuesday, November 8th of the year 2016. This is the first year in American history where a woman is the presidential nominee of a major political party.1 Hillary Rodham Clinton is the Democratic Party candidate, and she seems to be the clear winner of this election. She’s an experienced woman of privilege who is going head-to- head with the inexperienced, well-placed Republican Party candidate Donald Trump. With Clinton’s outstanding credentials, such as a law degree from Yale Law School, and her immense involvement in politics throughout her life, like holding the position of Secretary of State for the United States, one would think that she would be the obvious choice to preside over the country, right?2 As the American people were casting their votes and television networks across the country were broadcasting this historic election taking place, one could almost hear the cracks in one of the highest, hardest glass ceilings begin to form.
