The Case for Closing the Federal Election Commission and Establishing a New System for Enforcing the Nation’s Campaign Finance Laws Introduction The Federal Election Commission (FEC) is beset with a constellation of problems that has resulted in its failure to act as a “real law enforcement agency.”1 Among the major reasons for this failure are the ineffectual structure of the Commission, the politicization of the appoint- ment of commissioners, and congressional interference with the agency. In the fall of 2000, Democracy 21 Education Fund initiated PROJECT FEC to develop and introduce into the national debate a new and comprehensive approach for effectively enforcing the nation’s campaign finance laws. -
Michigan Commission on Displaced Persons Records
THE MICHIGAN COMMISSION ON DISPLACED PERSONS COLLECTION 47 Manuscript boxes Processed: 1970 Accession Number 129 By: BF The papers comprising the Displaced Persons Collection were deposited with the Labor History Archives in January, 1965 by Florence Cassidy, Secretary of the Michigan Commission on Displaced Persons and Refugees. After the passage of the Displaced Persons Act, the Michigan Commission on Displaced Persons was established in 1949 by Executive Order of Gov. G. Mennen Williams. Prior to the passage of this Act in 1948, various volunteer agencies in Michigan had been active in resettling regular quota immigrants; and the Michigan Committee on Displaced Persons (an inter-organizational committee) had campaigned for the passage of legislation to admit displaced persons outside of the quota. The Commission worked jointly with Michigan sponsors, with volunteer agencies, and with the Federal and State governments in resettling displaced persons and refugees. Its main functions were those of coordination and central information in such areas as housing, transportation, employment, legislation, and education. It also investigated the responsibility of indivi- duals and organizations which were sponsoring displaced persons. The name of the Commission was changed to the Michigan Commission on Displaced Persons and Refugees after the passage of the Refugee Relief Act in 1953. In 1960 the Commission recommended to Gov. John B. Swainson that he establish a Michigan Commission on Refugees which would serve on a stand-by basis. The Displaced Persons Collection covers the period from 1937 to 1965. -2- Important subjects are: Detroit Committee on Refugees Federal Displaced Persons Commission International Refugees Organization Latvian, Lithuanian, Ukrainian, Hungarian, and Cuban refugees Licensing of immigrant physicians McCarran-Walter Act and other legislation affecting immigrants and refugees Mexican immigrants in Michigan Wartime aliens Among the correspondents are: John W. -
Michigan Presidential Primary
Michigan Presidential Primary Facts and Statistics Michigan Department of State Bureau of Elections February 2019 MICHIGAN PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY LEGISLATIVE HISTORY 1912 The legislature enacted Public Act 9 to direct that a presidential preference primary be conducted in the month of April. 1931 The legislature enacted Public Act 200 to repeal the presidential preference primary. 1972 The legislature enacted Public Act 60 to reestablish the presidential primary subject to the following provisions: • Primary would be held on the third Tuesday in May in presidential election years for each political party that received greater than 5% of the total vote cast nationwide in the last presidential election. • The Secretary of State would issue a list of individuals generally advocated by the national news media as potential candidates for president. The law also provided that the state political party chairpersons could provide the Secretary of State with a list of individuals whom they consider to be potential presidential nominees for their political party. The Secretary of State was then required to notify each candidate appearing on the lists who in turn was required to file an affidavit indicating his or her political party preference and willingness to have his or her name appear on the ballot. Individuals whose names did not appear on either the Secretary of State’s or a political party list could qualify as a candidate by filing nominating petitions. The petitions were required to be signed by registered electors equal to at least ½ of 1% of the total vote cast in the previous presidential election for the presidential candidate of the political party of the individual. -

Al Fishman Papers, Part 2
Al Fishman Collection Papers, 1967-1974 6 linear feet 6 storage boxes Accession # 1654 DALNET # OCLC # While Al Fishman’s political activism in Detroit and the state of Michigan reaches back to the late 1940s, this collection of his papers deals primarily with Fishman’s term as state chairperson for the New Democratic Coalition of Michigan (1966-1971) and with his involvement in Detroit- area political organizations such as North Detroit Citizens for McGovern (1972) and Turn Detroit Around (1973). Among other issues, the New Democratic Coalition of Michigan (NDCM) supported the candidacy of Eugene McCarthy and opposed American involvement in the war in Vietnam. Turn Detroit Around formed to attract white voters to support Coleman Young’s first mayoral bid and to support an interracial slate of Common Council candidates. Mr. Fishman was also vice-chairperson of Urban Alliance (1968-1970) as well as a Michigan Democratic Party state central committee member. The Al Fishman Collection consists of correspondence, minutes, publications and other materials documenting Mr. Fishman’s political activities from 1967 to 1974.

Warner and Ida C. Brown Ann Arbor 1963 Composition and Lithoprinted by BRAUN -BRUM FIELD, Inc. Ann Arbor, Michigan Oil.. Ill* H INTRODUCTION The Michigan Historical Collections are a special library of The University of Michigan, con- taining the archives of the University and papers of individuals and organizations throughout Michi- gan. In the beginning there were two different projects. One, begun by Professor Lewis G. Vander Velde in 1934, was a program of collecting manuscript and printed materials relating to Michigan history, primarily for the use of graduate students in his seminar. The other program concerned the collecting and preservation of records of the University. To accomplish this purpose, President Alexander G. Ruthven appointed The Committee on University Archives, of which Professor Vander Velde was the secretary. Firmly convinced that a comprehen- sive collection of manuscripts dealing with the history of the University and the State would be use- ful for students and scholars, he began a vigorous campaign of letter writing and personal visits. Housed for a time in a room in the Clements Library, in 1938, needing more space, the papers were moved into the newly opened Rackham Building. In the same year the Regents established the Michigan Historical Collections and appointed Professor Vander Velde the Director. -
Dissertation Chapter 2 Sam Rosenfeld 1 Chapter 2: Democrats and The
Dissertation Chapter 2 Sam Rosenfeld Chapter 2: Democrats and the Politics of Principle Greensboro Daily News, July 8, 1959 The scholarly apostles of responsible party doctrine in the postwar years tended to be liberal Democrats who shared their ilk’s frustration with the party’s internal divisions and contradictions. When E.E. Schattschneider wrote to Adlai Stevenson after the 1952 election, he laid out a vision of a disciplined and coherent Democratic opposition that increasing numbers of liberal activists and voters found attractive.1 As his noncommittal reply suggested, Stevenson’s role in realizing this vision would be partial, somewhat unlikely, and at times even unwitting. An introspective patrician rather than a party warrior – and an ideological moderate to boot – Stevenson nonetheless served as a vessel for programmatic liberal energies in the 1950s. His two campaigns for president facilitated, on the one hand, the coalescence of a powerful cadre of policy intellectuals that helped to shape a liberal agenda during the Eisenhower era, and, on the 1 E.E. Schattschneider to Adlai E. Stevenson, November 9, 1952, Box 1, Folder 36, E.E. Schattschneider Papers, Olin Library, Wesleyan University, Middletown, CT. 1 Dissertation Chapter 2 Sam Rosenfeld other hand, a major grassroots influx of new Democratic activists committed to party reform as well as substantive, issue-based politics. Both developments created constituencies that were open to making American party politics more national in scope, programmatic in orientation, and coherent in structure. The Democratic struggle for party responsibility was less visible in Stevenson’s actual campaigns than in nascent efforts to reform Congress, skirmishes in the national conventions, and, most vividly, the controversial tenure of Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Paul Butler. -
