    FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION Washington, DC 20463 Daniel W. Meek, Esq. FEB \ 0 IW Portland, OR 97219 RE; MUR 6846 DeFazio for Congress and Jef A Green in his official capacity as treasurer I Dear Mr. Meek; On July 1, 2014, the Federal Election Commission (the "Commission") notified DeFazio ? for Congress and its treasurer, your clients, of a complaint alleging violations of certain sections ? of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended (the "Act") and Commission regulations. A copy of the complaint was forwarded to your clients at that time. On February 7, 2017, the Commission found, on the basis of the information in the complaint, and information provided by DeFazio for Congress and Jef A Green in his official capacity as treasurer ("Committee"), that there is no reason to believe that the Committee violated 52 U.S.C. § 30120 with respect to allegations that its website lacked an adequate disclaimer. In addition, the Commission found no reason to believe that the Committee violated 52 U.S.C. § 30124(a)(1) with respect to allegations that it fi-audulently misrepresented its billboards and a website as belonging to the Art Robinson campaign. Finally, the Commission dismissed the allegations that the Committee violated 52 U.S.C. § 30120 by failing to include adequate disclaimers on its billboards. Accordingly, the Commission closed the file in this matter. Political committees must include a disclaimer on all public communications, which includes outdoor advertising facilities, such as billboards. See 52 U.S.C. § .30120; 11 C.F.R. §§ 100.26, 110.11(a)(1).

  • Don't Tread on Me: Analyzing the Effects of the Tea Party on Voting
    Don’t Tread on Me: Analyzing the Effects of the Tea Party on Voting Patterns of House Democrats Nicole DeMont Department of Communication Stanford University Advisor: Shanto Iyengar June 4, 2014 Abstract: The Tea Party reached its peak during the 2010 midterm elections and helped propel Republicans into the House of Representatives. While commentary has focused on the Republican Party’s shift to the right in response to the Tea Party movement, this paper examines the Tea Party’s influence on the Democratic Party. Using Washington Post data on party voting, I find that Democrats who beat Tea Party candidates in competitive races are 6.5 percent more likely to vote with the Democratic Party in the congressional session following the 2010 midterm election. This brings the likelihood of voting with the Party up to 89.4 percent on any given vote, compared to the baseline of 82.9 percent. Possible explanations for this Tea Party effect are presented. Amid the mounting concern over the national debt and the size of the federal government, the Tea Party movement emerged in early 2009. On Tax Day, April 15, 2009, in what would be one of the largest rallies the movement would see, Tea Party protests took place in over 750 cities across the country. President Obama’s proposed healthcare bill only fueled the growth and frustrations of the Tea Party movement. Although the Democratic leadership, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, had originally dismissed the movement, by August 2009 the Democrats were forced to pay attention.

That’s not quite fair to Nero, because the fi ddle wasn’t invented until centuries later. And it’s not quite fair to Republicans, many of whom accept the role hu- mans play in global warming and want to do some- thing about it. But climate change denial has become political gospel in many Republican Party circles, even in Oregon, raising doubts whether Congress or the Oregon Legislature can seriously address the biggest environmental challenge of our time. Art Robinson, the Oregon Republican Party chairman now running for Congress in Ore- gon’s 4th District, gained national prominence Oregon’s climate as a climate change denier circulating the “Or- change deniers egon Petition.” Robinson’s petition, signed by thousands of fellow scientists skeptical that the climate is warming, states that limiting green- house gases would harm the environment. The Cascade Policy Institute, a libertarian Portland think tank close to Tea Party forces in the GOP, argues that “alarmists have unjustifi - ably asserted that human-produced carbon di- oxide is the main cause for current global warming.” Oregon’s lone member of Congress, U.S.
