  • Political Parties and Soft Money
    chapter 7 Political Parties and Soft Money The role of the players in political advertising—candidates, parties, and groups—has been analyzed in prior chapters. However, the newly changing role of political parties in the world of advertising requires additional scrutiny. With the new influx of unlimited funds from business interests, labor unions, and wealthy individuals, spending by party committees on television for all federal offices in the 2000 election reached $162 million, more than $81 million of which was spent on advertising in the presidential election alone. This represents about a 60% increase over party spending in the 1996 elections.1 According to FEC records, this increase in party spending was largely boosted by a dramatic rise in “soft money.” This chapter examines the unique role that political parties now play in political advertising. Particular attention is given to the sources of “soft money,” and what the flow of this money into the parties has meant for party politics. 1. “2000 Presidential Race First in Modern History Where Political Parties Spend More on TV Ads than Candidates,” Brennan Center Press Release (Dec.11, 2000) [www.brennancenter.org]. 60. $300,000,000 THE CONCEPT OF “SOFT MONEY” Democrat Republican discussed in greater detail in Chapter Three, the $250,000,000 As concept of “soft money” arises by contrast with the concept of “hard money,” the latter of which refers $200,000,000 to funds raised under the restrictions of campaign finance law. The federal restrictions include bans on contributions $150,000,000 from certain sources—corporate and union treasuries, and foreign nationals, for example—and monetary limits on $100,000,000 the amounts of contributions from all others.

  • Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Minority Group Entry Into the Building Trade Unions
    Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Minority Group Entry into the Building Trade Unions At a time when the high rate of black unemployment is a leading cause of racial unrest in our nation,1 the construction industry is ac- tually experiencing a shortage of skilled labor.2 Even with present union members working large amounts of overtime,3 demand still far exceeds supply.4 As a result, although productivity gains in recent years seem to have been minimal," wages have increased considerably both in absolute terms6 and in comparison with other industries3 Moreover, barring a major economic setback, this demand is not likely to diminish in the future.8 1 See R. KENNEDY, To SEEK A NEwER WORLD 34-35 (1968); NATIONAL ADVISORY COMm'N ON CiviL DisoRDERs, REPORT 413 (Bantam ed. 1968). 2 Garino, Home Builders Hobbled by Lack of Skilled Help as Well as Tight Money, Wall Street Journal, May 1, 1968, at 1; Jedlicka, Crafts Training Gets Push, Chicago Daily News, Aug. 2, 1968, at 12; Wicker, New Construction in Building Trades, Chicago Today, Oct. 3, 1969, at 25. 3 A May 1967 survey by John Fenlon, an economist for the Bureau of Labor Statistics, showed that 22.9% of all workers in the construction industry worked more than 41 hours a week.

THE KANSAS REPUBLICAN PARTY BELIEVES THAT OUR COUNTRY AND CONSTITUTION are honored as exceptional and upheld. OUR JUDICIARY must respect the separation of powers, not make laws. OUR FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES are the bedrock strength of our nation. OUR RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS must be protected. OUR CULTURE should respect and protect life. OUR MILITARY must be prepared to defend us and receive our best care. OUR LEGAL IMMIGRATION is a blessing to this country. OUR HEALTHCARE DECISIONS should be made by us and our doctors. OUR ECONOMY WILL GROW when government is smaller and efficient. OUR CHILDREN should be taught to build upon their skills and knowledge. OUR SAFER COMMUNITIES should be free of violent and non-violent crime. OUR INSTITUTION OF TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE is the foundation of society. OUR AMERICA preserves property rights and can be energy independent. Understanding the rapid nature of changing needs, we recognize that specific legislative proposals will come and go.

  • 6 “THE BLACKS SHOULD NOT BE ADMINISTERING the PHILADELPHIA PLAN” Nixon, the Hard Hats, and “Voluntary” Affirmative Action
    6 “THE BLACKS SHOULD NOT BE ADMINISTERING THE PHILADELPHIA PLAN” Nixon, the Hard Hats, and “Voluntary” Affirmative Action Trevor Griffey The conventional history of the rise of affirmative action in the late 1960s and early 1970s tends toward a too simple dialectic. The early creation and extension of affirmative action law is often described as an extension of the civil rights movement, whereas organized opposition to affirmative action is described as something that occurred later, as a backlash or reaction that did not fully take hold until Ronald Reagan was elected president in 1980.1 In this chapter, I tell a different story. I describe the role that labor union resistance to affirmative action played in limiting the ability of the federal gov- ernment to enforce new civil rights laws well before the more overt backlash against affirmative action became ascendant in U.S. political culture in the 1980s and 1990s. There was no heyday for attempts by federal regulatory agencies to impose affirmative action on U.S. industry. There was no pristine origin against which a backlash could define itself, because enforcement of affirmative action had accommodated its opponents from the beginning. Affirmative action law emerged out of and in response to civil rights move- ment protests against the racism of federal construction contractors, whose discriminatory hiring policies were defended and often administered by the powerful building trades unions.2 But the resistance of those unions to the 1969 Revised Philadelphia Plan—the first government-imposed affirmative action plan—severely curtailed the ability of the federal government to enforce affirma- tive action in all industries.

Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains 40 (Winter 2017–2018): 262-289 262 Kansas History “Find a Way to Find Common Ground”: A Conversation with Former Governor Kathleen Sebelius edited by Bob Beatty and Linsey Moddelmog athleen Mary (Gilligan) Sebelius, born May 15, 1948, in Cincinnati, Ohio, served as the State of Kansas’s forty-fourth chief executive from January 13, 2003, to April 28, 2009, when she resigned to serve in President Barack Obama’s cabinet as secretary for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Sebelius rose to the governorship after serving in the Kansas House of Representatives from 1987 to 1995 and serving two terms as Kansas insurance commissioner from 1995 to 2003. She was the first insurance commissioner from the Democratic Party in Kansas history, defeating Republican Kincumbent Ron Todd in 1994, 58.6 percent to 41.4 percent. She ran for reelection in 1998 and easily defeated Republican challenger Bryan Riley, 59.9 to 40.1 percent. In the 2002 gubernatorial race, Sebelius defeated Republican state treasurer Tim Shallenburger, 52.9 to 45.1 percent. She won reelection in 2006 by a vote of 57.9 to 40.4 percent against her Republican challenger, state senator Jim Barnett.1 Sebelius never lost an election to public office in Kansas.2 Sebelius’s 2002 gubernatorial victory marked the first and only father-daughter pair to serve as governors in the United States. Her father, John Gilligan, was Democratic governor of Ohio from 1971 to 1975. Sebelius’s gubernatorial leadership style was one of bipartisanship, as her Democratic Party was always in the minority in the state legislature.

  • Association of American Law Schools Section on Labor Relations and Employment Law: Tributes Honoring Senior Law Professors
    ASSOCIATION OF AMERICAN LAW SCHOOLS SECTION ON LABOR RELATIONS AND EMPLOYMENT LAW: TRIBUTES HONORING SENIOR LAW PROFESSORS A TRIBUTE HONORING JAMES E. JONES, JR.* Professor Vicki Schultz**: Good morning. I'm Vicki Schultz, the 2004 Chair of the Labor and Employment Law Section of the Association of American Law Schools. Last year, my predecessor, Professor Roberto Corrada, initiated a practice of having our section honor someone who has made a significant contribution to our field. This morning, it is my great pleasure to be able to honor my dear friend and colleague James E. Jones, Jr., the Nathan P. Feinsinger Professor of Labor Law, Emeritus at the University of Wisconsin Law School and the School of Labor and Industrial Relations. There is so much to say about this brilliant and big-hearted man; I can't even begin to cover his many achievements in the time available. So, let me simply touch on a few of his most significant contributions to the law, the field, and the university he loves so much, and to his students and colleagues, who, in turn, love him so much. I. DEVELOPING EARLY AFFIRMATIVE ACTION LAW Before he joined the legal academy, Professor Jones had already had a significant career in the United States Department of Labor. He began as a legislative attorney, progressed to Counsel for Labor Relations, Director of the Office of Labor Management Policy Development, and then became Associate Solicitor, Division of Labor Relations and Civil Rights in the Office of the Solicitor of Labor. During that phase of his career, Professor Jones played an important role in developing and defending the emerging concept of affirmative action in employment.
