They educate voters and motivate citizens to learn about the candidates and the issues. The CPD is dedicated to developing formats that will allow these exchanges to best serve the public, and we are grateful to engage our six new directors in planning for 2016. Their individual and collective experience in public service, media and education is extensive and respected. We are honored to have them Join the CPD." In addition to the co-chairs, the current CPD directors are Howard G. Buffett, John C. Danforth, John Griffen, Antonia Hernandez, Reverend John I. Jenkins, Newton N. Minow, Richard D. Parsons, Dorothy Ridings; and Alan K. Simpson. The co-chairs also noted that the new directors would be involved in the CPD's international work. U.S. debates are watched in real time by world-wide audiences. Groups in other countries, particularly emerging democracies, that seek to start their own debates contact the CPD for assistance on issues ranging from candidate negotiation to format and production. For more than twenty years, the CPD has worked with the National Democratic Institute for Intemational Affairs (NDI) to help these groups initiate or improve debates in their countries. In connection with these collaborative effons, NDI has launched www.debatesinternational.org. a website intended to serve as a resource for groups in other countries. An informal association of those groups. Debates International, has contributed much of the material on the new website. The CPD is underway with planning for the 2016 debates, and will announce site selection guidelines in early January, 20IS. Return O COPYRIGHT 2012 THE COMMISSION ON PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES.

  • The Maine Chance
    The claim of a federal “land grab” in response to the creation of Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument in Maine revealed a lack of historical awareness by critics of how two other cherished parks were established there: through private-public partnerships and the donation of land by private citizens. The maine chance PRIVATE-PUBLIC PARTNERSHIP AND THE KATAHDIN WOODS AND WATERS NATIONAL MONUMENT t is never over until it is…and even then, it might not be.

Publicly Accessible Penn Dissertations. 1113. https://repository.upenn.edu/edissertations/1113 This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/edissertations/1113 For more information, please contact [email protected]. CPAC: The Origins and Role of The Conference in the Expansion and Consolidation of the Conservative Movement, 1974-1980 Abstract The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) is an annual event that brings conservative politicians, public intellectuals, pundits, and issue activists together in Washington, DC to discuss strategies for achieving their goals through the electoral and policy process. Although CPAC receives a great deal of attention each year from conservative movement activists and the news outlets that cover it, it has attracted less attention from scholars. This dissertation seeks to address the gap in existing knowledge by providing a fresh account of the role that CPAC played in the expansion and consolidation of the conservative movement during the 1970s. Audio recordings of the exchanges that took place at CPAC meetings held between 1974 and 1980 are transcribed and analyzed. The results of this analysis show that during the 1970s, CPAC served as an important forum where previously fragmented single issue groups and leaders of the Old Right and New Right coalitions were able to meet, share ideas, and coordinate their efforts.

  • Jason Grumet) Twitter Gets Very Angry When You Keep It Waiting
    Panel III – Obstacles to public services at state and federal levels. 00:00:01 (Jason Grumet) Twitter gets very angry when you keep it waiting. (laughter) 00:00:10 (Jason Grumet) Well good afternoon. At the very outset of this morning’s conversation I mentioned that the purpose of this effort the Commission on Political Reform was to really start to think about the interactions between leadership and citizenship, not to simply focus inside the beltway or outside the beltway but recognize that we have a large and diverse country with leaders of all types that have to be part of the solutions we’re interested in finding. And this last panel really starts to bridge that discussion. We are now going to spend some time thinking about the incentives and obstacles to public service. We have before us a terrific panel of elected leaders, former White House officials and some real innovators in the non-profit space who have created opportunities for people to lead and contribute. The panel, led by our very own John Fortier who directs the Democracy Project at the Bipartisan Policy Center, John is a political scientist with expertise in government institutions and particular electoral reform. He is widely published and has really been the brain trust behind the boiler room of the Commission on Political Reform as we move forward through the process a lot of the efforts that you see will be driven by John and his team. So John. 00:01:29 (John Fortier) Thank you Jason and thank you again to the Reagan Library.
