Bauer was born in Covington, Kentucky on May 4, 1946. He graduated from Newport Public High School in 1964 and then attended Georgetown where he graduated in 1968. He received a Henry Cook scholarship from Northern Kentucky businessmen to attend Georgetown Law School in 1969. He graduated with a law degree in 1973. Mr. Bauer worked in the 1980 Reagan-Bush campaign as a senior policy analyst and worked in the Office of the President-Elect as Assistant Director for Policy/Community Services Administration. Bauer joined the White House in 1981 as a policy analyst in the Office of Policy Development. He was later promoted to Policy Advisor to the President and finally as Deputy Assistant Director of Legal Policy. Bauer left the White House in 1982 for an appointment in the Department of Education as Deputy Under Secretary for Planning, Budget and Evaluation. There he was responsible for developing the Department’s budget. He also stayed active in the White House as the Department’s representative in the Cabinet Council for Human Resources and was Chairman of the Working Group on School Discipline. In addition, he directed the Department’s efforts in the development of the President’s Partnerships in Education Initiative. In July 1985, Mr. Bauer was appointed Under Secretary of Education. On January 30, 1987 Bauer returned to the White House, as Assistant to the President for Policy Development and Director of the Office of Policy Development. He succeeded John A. (Jack) Svahn in the position of Assistant to the President for Policy Development. Unlike previous April 19, 2021. Bolded folders are available for use TODAY. No need to FOIA. Bauer-2 Policy Development Assistants, Bauer was also the Director of the Office of Policy Development. Bauer resigned from the White House staff in 1988. He became President of the Family Research Council, an evangelical Christian organization dedicated to promoting the traditional family structure. Bauer left this position in 1999 to run for the 2000 Republican presidential nomination. Bauer is currently president of American Values, an organization dedicated to promoting conservative views on marriage, abortion, and other cultural issues. He is also Chairman of Campaign for Working Families, a political action committee which works to elect conservative candidates to Congress. Bauer lives in the Washington, DC area. Scope and Content Note Mr. Bauer’s collection is arranged into nine series. It consists of SERIES I: Subject File, 1987- 1988; SERIES II: Policy Council Meetings, 1987-1988; SERIES II: President’s Weekly Update, 1987-1988; SERIES IV: Patricia Hines Material; SERIES V: Chronological Files, 1987-1989; SERIES VII: Department of Education Material, 1983-1986; SERIES VIII: Subject File, 1981- 1982; and SERIES IX: Publications. Much of this collection consists of Bauer’s tenure as Assistant to the President for Policy Development. But a significant amount of the collection covers his time serving in the Department of Education; his assistant, Patricia Hines, material from both Education and the Office of Policy Development and his time starting as a policy analyst at the beginning of the Reagan Administration. We have ordered this material by series in a backwards chronological arrangement. Thus, there are two subject files for each separate time at the Office of Policy Development. SERIES DESCRIPTIONS SERIES I: SUBJECT FILE, 1987-1988 This series consists of material from Bauer’s term as Assistant to the President Policy Development and Director of the Office of Policy Development. It represents the bulk of the collection. It is alphabetically arranged. SERIES II: POLICY COUNCIL MEETINGS, 1987-1988 This series consists of material regarding meetings of the Domestic Policy Council and the Economic Policy Council. The material consists of agendas, lists of attendees, and in some cases, background material for the meetings. SERIES III: PRESIDENT’S WEEKLY UPDATE, 1987-1988 This series consists of Bauer’s named copy of the “Weekly Update” on all offices at the White House which were provided weekly for the President. The updates are arrangemed April 19, 2021. Bolded folders are available for use TODAY. No need to FOIA. Bauer-3 chronologically from February 20, 1987-September 30, 1988 with some gaps in weeks. SERIES IV: PATRICIA HINES MATERIAL, Patricia Hines worked with Bauer in the Department of Education and come with him to the White House Office of Policy Development when he returned in 1987. She had a series of titles in both the Department of Education, and is listed as Executive Assistant to Bauer for his second time at the White House. The series is arranged in alphabetical order by folder title. The folders contain material where Hines appears to have had the key role and work product. There are many other documents in the collection which showed both Bauer and Hines activity. The material covers both the Department of Education and Office of Policy Development material SERIES V: CHRONOLOGICAL FILE, 1987-1989 This series consists of a formal chronological file for Gary Bauer covering March 1987 to January 1989.

University of Texas B.A. Miami University March 2010 Committee Chair: Anne Sisson Runyan, Ph.D ABSTRACT What constitutes global civil society? Are liberal assumptions about the nature of civil society as a realm autonomous from and balancing the power of the state and market transferrable to the global level? Does global civil society necessarily represent and/or result in the promotion of liberal values? These questions guided my dissertation which attempts to challenge dominant liberal conceptualizations of global civil society. To do so, it provides two representative case studies of how domestic and transnational factions of the Religious Right, acting in concert with (or as agents of) the US state, and the political opportunity structures it has provided under conservative regimes, gain access to global policy-making forums through a reframing of international human rights discourses and practices pertaining particularly to women’s rights in order to shift them in illiberal directions.

  • Conservative Movement
    Conservative Movement How did the conservative movement, routed in Barry Goldwater's catastrophic defeat to Lyndon Johnson in the 1964 presidential campaign, return to elect its champion Ronald Reagan just 16 years later? What at first looks like the political comeback of the century becomes, on closer examination, the product of a particular political moment that united an unstable coalition. In the liberal press, conservatives are often portrayed as a monolithic Right Wing. Close up, conservatives are as varied as their counterparts on the Left. Indeed, the circumstances of the late 1980s -- the demise of the Soviet Union, Reagan's legacy, the George H. W. Bush administration -- frayed the coalition of traditional conservatives, libertarian advocates of laissez-faire economics, and Cold War anti- communists first knitted together in the 1950s by William F. Buckley Jr. and the staff of the National Review. The Reagan coalition added to the conservative mix two rather incongruous groups: the religious right, primarily provincial white Protestant fundamentalists and evangelicals from the Sunbelt (defecting from the Democrats since the George Wallace's 1968 presidential campaign); and the neoconservatives, centered in New York and led predominantly by cosmopolitan, secular Jewish intellectuals. Goldwater's campaign in 1964 brought conservatives together for their first national electoral effort since Taft lost the Republican nomination to Eisenhower in 1952. Conservatives shared a distaste for Eisenhower's "modern Republicanism" that largely accepted the welfare state developed by Roosevelt's New Deal and Truman's Fair Deal. Undeterred by Goldwater's defeat, conservative activists regrouped and began developing institutions for the long haul.

  • Murray N. Rothbard E Il Movimento Paleolibertario
    Etica & Politica / Ethics & Politics, 2003, 2 http://www.units.it/etica/2003_2/PIOMBINI.htm Murray N. Rothbard e il movimento paleolibertario Guglielmo Piombini Istituto Bruno Leoni ABSTRACT Murray N. Rothbard and the paleolibertarian movement At the beginning of the 1990 American libertarian intellectual such as Murray N. Rothbard, Lle- wellyn Rockwell Jr., and Hans-Hermann Hoppe gave rise to the paleolibertarian movement. Paleo- libertarians, who favour laissez-faire in the economic realm but oppose moral relativism, were seek- ing an alliance with the so-called “paleoconservatives” like Sam Francis, Tom Fleming, Paul Gottfried or Pat Buchanan. The word “paleolibertarian”, first used by Rockwell, had the purpose to recapture the radicalism and the political and intellectual rigor of the pre-war libertarian “Old right”. Rothbard’s death in 1995 was a blow, but paleolibertarians still continued their twofold bat- tle for the defence of the unfettered free-market, developing the methodology of the Austrian School of Economics; and for the defence of the traditional Christian values of the Western Civilization, threatened by the post-modern “liberal” culture, now leading in the political and intellectual elite. Today the paleolibertarians, facilitated by the Internet, have become a rapidly growing intellectual movement. The main centres of diffusion of their ideas are the Ludwig von Mises Institute in Auburn (Alabama) and the website LewRockwell.com, that ranks among the most widely read news website. 1. La nascita di un movimento In Italia il termine non è usato e suona poco orecchiabile, ma nel variegato mondo del- la Destra americana oggi la sfida più vivace e interessante proviene dalla cultura che si definisce ricorrendo puntualmente al prefisso “paleo”, la quale taglia trasversalmente i due principali raggruppamenti politici (il Grand Old Party Repubblicano e il piccolo Partito Libertario) e ideologici (il tradizionalismo conservatore e l’antistatalismo liberta- rio) che si contrappongono al Partito Democratico e alla sinistra liberal.

  • Presidential Book Reviews: the Republicans
    (12-13-99) PRESIDENTIAL BOOK REVIEWS: THE REPUBLICANS (Special for The Anniston Star) By Glen Browder There is no excuse, a year before the 2000 elections, for any American citizen to complain about not knowing anything about the politicians who want to be the next President of the United States. By my rough count, there are well over a hundred books currently available that have been written by or about the dozen or so announced, hopeful, and rumored presidential candidates (excluding Warren Beatty, Cybill Shepherd, and the rest of the Hollywood crowd that’s threatening to run). And new tomes about even more possible chief executives are coming out early next year. Democratic candidates account for 36 books, Republicans have 29 publications, and there’s a slew of third party and independent possibilities in our “White House Wannabe Library”, which I define as anything—whether autobiographical or biographical, political or non-political, legitimate or trashy—dealing with the lives of potential Presidents. Democratic Vice-President Al Gore has twenty-something entries in the Wannabe Library; on the Republican side, Texas Governor George W. Bush leads with seven. My assignment in this review is to comment on the autobiographical or authorized books by the Republican candidates; someone else is handling the Democrats. (For the record: I’m a Democrat; I’ve served in Washington with several of the candidates of both parties; I have my own preferences. But I have not and am not endorsing anybody.) Therefore I will focus on Governor Bush, Senator John McCain, publisher Steve Forbes, former Reagan official Gary Bauer, and former U.N.

  • May 30, 2013 the Honorable John A. Boehner
    May 30, 2013 The Honorable John A. Boehner Speaker of the House H-232, The Capitol Washington DC 20515 The Honorable Eric Cantor Majority Leader H-329, The Capitol Washington DC 20515 Dear Speaker Boehner and Leader Cantor: We, the undersigned representing millions of Americans, strongly support enactment of protections for religious liberty and freedom of conscience. We thank you for your efforts to protect these fundamental rights of all Americans. Given that the threat to religious freedom is already underway for businesses such as Hobby Lobby and others, and that this threat will be directed at religious non-profit organizations on August 1st, we strongly urge House leadership to take the steps necessary to include such protections in the debt limit bill or other must-pass legislation before that deadline. A vital First Amendment right is threatened by the HHS mandate. The mandate will force religious and other non-profit entities to violate their conscience in their health coverage, or face steep fines and other penalties for offering a noncompliant health plan. The penalties for noncompliance could force employers to stop offering health coverage, negatively impacting them as well as those who work for them and their families. The mandate exempts churches, but not other religious entities such as charities, hospitals, schools, health care providers or individuals. Through this mandate the government is dictating which religious groups and individuals are, and are not, religious enough to have their fundamental freedoms respected. We believe this policy constitutes a gross breach of the Constitution’s religious freedom protections as well as the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

  • 'Us Versus Them': Abortion and the Rhetoric of the New Right1
    Retrospectives | 2 Spring 2013 ! ‘Us versus Them’: Abortion and the Rhetoric of the New Right1 Will Riddington* This paper analyses America's anti-abortion movement from a rhetorical perspective. It examines the rhetorical tactics used by conservative elites to galvanise the movement and traces their effect on the movement's response to anti-abortion violence in the late 1980s and early 1990. It concludes by arguing that the fusion of populist dichotomies and religious justifications had an ultimately negative effect on the movement, despite initial successes. It engages with a number of historiographical debates surrounding the emergence of the New Right and its place in the wider American political tradition. By analysing the anti-abortion movement, its motivations and its actions, this paper will argue that although the movement invoked a number of long-standing conservative themes, its invocation of populism relied on new rhetorical devices whose resonance derived from opposition to sixties liberalism. Historiographical debate also revolves around the relationship between New Right activists and the Republican party, some arguing that conservative grassroots activism dragged the GOP to the right, others that social issues were manipulated by Republican elites for electoral gain. It will argue that, at least in the case of the anti-abortion movement, the fundamentalist and evangelical Christians who joined the fray in the late 1970s !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 This work was supported by the Arts and Humanities Research Council [grant number AH/K502959/1]. * Will Riddington is a first-year doctoral student at the University of Cambridge. 86 Retrospectives | 2 Spring 2013 ! did so at the urging of the New Right and their pastors, rather than as part of a spontaneous grassroots uprising.
