In short, new const ituenc ies are bei ng sought out, while at the same time, ex isting ones are intens ifying their efforts. Th is report outl ines the significant role you and the members of your official fami ly must play if we are, together, to succeed in the difficult task that is before us. The influence that you, the members of your Cabi net, and your Whi te House staff can have is immeasurable, and your participation in these efforts cannot be underest imated. The report is divided into several sect ions which def ine the overall steps that you, your staff and members of your The President Page 2 administration can take to re-inforce your commitment to ratification both nationally and in individual unratified states. Also, included are detailed background materials on the history of ratification efforts; how specific organizations are parti­ cipating in these efforts; a state-by-state voting record on the amendment by each state's Members of Congress and State Legislators; an analysis of the opposition to the amendment; and several other pieces of background information and analysis. We are hopeful that you will, as we do, consider this the beginning of an on-going exchange of information with you and the members of your staff. The next few months are critical, both for evaluating ratification prospects in this legislative session and laying the groundwork for those states that will not vote until 1981. It is important that both you and your Advisory Committee have a mechanism through which we can share information on a day-to-day basis, if needed. We are grateful that you have given us your support on the Equal Rights Amendment, which strikes at the very heart of our Constitution's ·goal to assure equality for all American's. We look forward to a close and productive working relationship on ERA in the days ahead.

Electing Pro�ERA-Legislators Pro-ERA forces are now targeting and assessing candi­ dates. At a later stage, these forces will prioritize races and allocate resources to elect: a. pro-ERA incumbents seeking reelection b. pro-ERA candidates running in open seats c. pro-ERA candidates challenging vulnerable anti-ERA incumbents Impact: Pro-ERA forces will gain recognition as politically pragmatic activists who deliver both technical and financial assistance to pro-ERA candidates. Political ties will then be strengthened among ERA proponents, legislative leader­ ship, and powerb rokers. Political information is readily available from: --ERAmerica (202/833-4354) --National Women's Political Caucus (202/347-4456) • --National Organization for Women (202/345-2279) 2. Lobbying Objective: To merge all lobbying into a cohesive effort ranging from individuals to national support groups. Lobbying efforts should include: Constituents, legis­ lative allies, and major national leaders providing direct lobbying contact. a. Constituents: Thousands of ERA supporters must be organized into a potent lobbying force with limited financial resources. This job has fallen primarily to various national organizations and their state affiliates. Short-term projects with specific tasks and goals have been the most effective constituent lobbying technique. Those activities have varied from state to state and from legislative session to legislative session and have included: 1. phone banks 2. visits by individuals and groups to legislators both "pro" and "con" ERA Overview December 18, 1979 • Page 2 3. letter writing campaigns 4. speakers bureaus 5. special event programming b. Legislative Lobbying: Within the various legis­ latures, there are individuals who can exert the necessary influence to accomplish the three ratification strategy goals by: 1. holding "pro" votes on both issue and rule votes 2. persuading uncommitted or soft "nos" to vote with "pro" forces 3. neutralizing negative parliamentary maneuvers used by "antis" Important potential allies are: presiding officers of the Senate and House majority and minority party leaders key committee chairs lobbyists other elected state and local officials c.

    1 CENTER FOR FLORIDA HISTORY ORAL HISTORY PROGRAM INTERVIEW WITH: HOMER HOOKS INTERVIEWER: JAMES M. DENHAM PLACE: LAKELAND, FLORIDA DATE: JULY 29, 2003 M= JAMES M. DENHAM (Mike) H= HOMER HOOKS M: Today we are interviewing Mr. Homer Hooks and we are going to talk today about the legacy of Lawton Chiles and hopefully follow this up with future discussions of Mr. Hooks’ business career and career in politics. Good morning Mr. Hooks. H: Good morning, Mike. M: As I mentioned, we, really, in the future want to talk about your service in World War II and also your business career, but today we would like to focus on your memories of Lawton Chiles. Even so, can you tell us a little bit about where you were born as well as giving us a brief biographical sketch? H: Yes, Mike. I was born in Columbia, South Carolina, on January 10, 1921. My family moved to Lake County actually in Florida when I was a child. I was 4 or 5 years old, I guess. We lived in Clermont in south Lake County. My grandfather was a pioneer. He platted the town of Clermont. The rest of the family also lived north of Clermont in the Leesburg area, but we considered ourselves pioneer Florida residents. Those were the days in 1926, ‘27 and ‘28 days and so forth. I grew up in Clermont - grammar school and high school and then immediately went to the University of Florida in 1939 and graduated in 1943, as some people have said, when the earth’s crust was still cooling, so long ago.

  • The Long Red Thread How Democratic Dominance Gave Way to Republican Advantage in Us House of Representatives Elections, 1964
    THE LONG RED THREAD HOW DEMOCRATIC DOMINANCE GAVE WAY TO REPUBLICAN ADVANTAGE IN U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ELECTIONS, 1964-2018 by Kyle Kondik A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Baltimore, Maryland September 2019 © 2019 Kyle Kondik All Rights Reserved Abstract This history of U.S. House elections from 1964-2018 examines how Democratic dominance in the House prior to 1994 gave way to a Republican advantage in the years following the GOP takeover. Nationalization, partisan realignment, and the reapportionment and redistricting of House seats all contributed to a House where Republicans do not necessarily always dominate, but in which they have had an edge more often than not. This work explores each House election cycle in the time period covered and also surveys academic and journalistic literature to identify key trends and takeaways from more than a half-century of U.S. House election results in the one person, one vote era.

Governor Jim Edgar and Judge Abner Mikva served as co-chairs. The task force examined the effects of the change from cumulative to plurality voting in Illinois House elections, gathered information about alternative electoral systems that are used throughout the world, and considered how and how well those systems work in other regions of the country and world. With that information in hand, they brought together leaders from politics, the media, academe, business, and nonprofit organizations for the Illinois assembly on Political Representation and Alternative Electoral Systems. The assembly met to explore the pros and cons of various electoral systems as they might be used in Illinois House elections. I am happy to present you with the final report of the Illinois Assembly. This report is very timely. Work on reapportionment and redistricting of local, state, and federal legislative districts has already begun.
