  • A Full List of Signatures Is Here
    IAVA Recipient: Secretary Mattis Letter: Greetings, First, thank you for your service and sacrifice and for your incredible leadership that so many in the military and veteran community have experienced and respect. As you know, more than 1.5 million veterans have have educated themselves with the Post-9/11 GI Bill, and almost 70% of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) members have used or transferred this benefit to a dependent. It could very well be the most transformative federal benefit created. The new restriction on Post-9/11 GI Bill transferability to only those with less than 16 years of service is a completely unnecessary reduction of this critical benefit, and it will ultimately hurt our military recruitment and readiness. In a time of war, it remains enormously important to recruit and retain qualified servicemembers, especially with an ever-decreasing pool of eligible recruits. For years, IAVA has been at the forefront of this fight. We led the effort to establish this benefit in 2008 and we have successfully defended it in recent years. We cannot allow our GI Bill to be dismantled or abused. This is why I am standing with my fellow IAVA members to respectfully request that you reverse this counterproductive policy change that creates barriers to access to these transformative benefits. The GI Bill has been earned by millions of men and women on the battlefield and around the world and it should not be subjected to arbitrary restrictions that limit its use. Again, thank you for your leadership and I ask that you take action now to reverse this decision.

  • Minnesota Public Radio News and Humphrey Institute Poll
    Minnesota Public Radio News and Humphrey Institute Poll Dayton Starts with Edge in Democratic Primary and Fall Election Report prepared by the Center for the Study of Politics and Governance Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs University of Minnesota Lawrence R. Jacobs Director, Center for the Study of Politics and Governance Joanne M. Miller Research Associate, Center for Study of Politics and Governance Associate Professor, Department of Political Science According to a Minnesota Public Radio News and Humphrey Institute poll, Mark Dayton starts the election season leading his rivals in the Democratic Party primary among likely voters and Dayton may also enjoy a slight edge over the presumptive Republican gubernatorial candidate, Tom Emmer, among Minnesota adults. Dayton leads Emmer by a 35% to 31% margin, which is within the margin of error and is a toss-up in statistical terms. Emmer is deadlocked with the two other contenders for the Democratic Party’s nomination, the Democratic Party’s endorsed candidate Margaret Anderson Kelliher and Matt Entenza. These are fluid races in which a quarter or more have not made up their mind and the endorsed Independence Party candidate, Tom Horner, is drawing about 10%. U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar wins the popularity contest among Minnesota politicians, with a majority favoring her re-election in 2012 while Governor Tim Pawlenty’s popularity sank to its lowest level in polling by MPR News/Humphrey and has reached a near record low according to other polls that date back to his 2003 inauguration. The survey was conducted of 701 Minnesota adults between May 13 to May 16, 2010, which follows the endorsing conventions by the three major parties in Minnesota.

  • 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.

  • Presidential Election Results
    2016 Election Overview The outcome of the 2016 elections has definitely altered the landscape for transportation policy and funding initiatives. From the Presidency down to state legislative races, we face a new legislative dynamic and many new faces. What hasn’t changed: the huge need for resources to increase the nation’s and the state’s investment in the transportation system and bipartisan agreement on that fact. Prior to the outcome of Tuesday’s election we were hearing from candidates on both sides of the aisle that increasing investments in infrastructure was an area of agreement. Candidates for Minnesota’s legislature brought up the need for a comprehensive, long-term transportation funding package over and over again in news stories, candidate profiles and candidate forums. We were hearing more from candidates about transportation than we have in previous election cycles. Voters in other states, made their voices heard by approving ballot initiatives in 22 states that increased and stabilized funding for transportation. As we head into 2017, transportation advocates have a huge opportunity to capitalize on the widespread support for infrastructure improvements. However, it will take the involvement of transportation advocates across the state making their voices heard to rise above partisan squabbling and the many other issues that will be on the table. National Presidential Election Results Electoral Votes Needed to Win: 270 *Remaining: 16 Trump (R) Electoral Votes 290 Popular Vote 60,375,961 Clinton (D) Electoral Votes 232 Popular Vote 61,047,207 Minnesota Clinton (D) percent 46.9% votes 1,366,676 Trump (R) percent 45.4% votes 1,322,891 The race for the White House defied the polls and expectations as Donald Trump won more than the needed 270 votes in the electoral college while Hillary Clinton narrowly won the popular vote.

  • SCENE ONE (An Empty Stage. There Is a Podium and a Projector Screen
    SCENE ONE (An empty stage. There is a podium and a projector screen emblazoned with the logo “WELLSTONE PROJECT.” A spotlight comes up on STEPHEN, who stands at the podium, dressed in formal attire. He carries a drink in his hand.) STEPHEN Thank you all for being here tonight – for your support – for honoring my brother’s life and legacy. (as HE speaks, the screen behind him flashes a portrait of Paul Wellstone) It would mean the world to them – Paul, and Sheila (the screen flashes a photo of Paul and Sheila together) – to see you all here tonight. (he sips his drink liberally and shakes himself out) I just want to apologize in advance – I never had my brother’s knack for public speaking. (HE chuckles nervously) But I always said… I always said my brother had a way of bringing people together… Sometimes in ways we might not expect. But – (the screen flashes a photo of a beach in Maryland) One way or another, it all leads back… to this. (without looking backward, the screen raises out of view, and the set changes to the beach seen in the photo, complete with a sunbathing SHEILA, reclining on a beach chair, reading a book) The beaches our parents took us to as kids… I haven’t set foot here in years, but I can still see it all like it was yesterday. (HE mimes to various parts of the set) The stand where they used to sell popsicles on hot days. (another) And over there, see? That’s where I built the biggest sandcastle you’d ever seen… Until Paul stepped in it.

  • Annual Report 2006
    A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 0 6 Touching hearts, healing minds, connecting people. Dear Friend of NAMI-MN: Touching hearts. Healing minds. Connecting people. That’s what NAMI-MN is devoted to. NAMI knows that the stigma surrounding mental illness isolates children and adults whose lives have been touched by mental illness, often leaving them alone, with little hope. Touching hearts. When people call the NAMI office for information, attend an education class or join a support group their hearts are touched by the comforting words of understanding, hope and encouragement. Through learning about mental illness, what services are available, and about how to cope – people are given hope. Hope fuels our spirit. Deb, one of the thousands of people who contact the NAMI office every year wrote to say “thank you so much for responding to our call for help…you have touched my heart.” Healing minds. Recovery is possible, but treatment and supportive services must be available and affordable. NAMI brings information to people about the service system and where to go for help. NAMI informs people of evidence based practices and new research. Advocating at the legislature, through the Mental Health Action Group and to the various state depart- ments, NAMI seeks increased funding for effective services and works to create a seamless and understandable system for both children and adults. Connecting people. After attending NAMI’s new one-day education class for family members held in northern Minnesota, a woman approached the teacher and said “thank you - I thought I was the only one.” Breaking the isolation by bringing people together is powerful.
