  • PPIC Statewide Survey: Californians and Their Government
    PPICPPIC STATEWIDESTATEWIDE SURVEYSURVEY FEBRU ARY 2004 Californians and Their Government ○○○○○ Mark Baldassare Research Director & Survey Director Public Policy Institute of California The Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) is a private operating foundation established in 1994 with an endowment from William R. Hewlett. The Institute is dedicated to improving public policy in California through independent, objective, nonpartisan research. PPIC’s research agenda focuses on three program areas: population, economy, and governance and public finance. Studies within these programs are examining the underlying forces shaping California’s future, cutting across a wide range of public policy concerns, including education, health care, immigration, income distribution, welfare, urban growth, and state and local finance. PPIC was created because three concerned citizens – William R. Hewlett, Roger W. Heyns, and Arjay Miller – recognized the need for linking objective research to the realities of California public policy. Their goal was to help the state’s leaders better understand the intricacies and implications of contemporary issues and make informed public policy decisions when confronted with challenges in the future. PPIC does not take or support positions on any ballot measure or on any local, state, or federal legislation, nor does it endorse, support, or oppose any political parties or candidates for public office. David W. Lyon is founding President and Chief Executive Officer of PPIC. Raymond L. Watson is Chairman of the Board of Directors. 500 Washington Street, Suite 800 • San Francisco, California 94111 Telephone: (415) 291-4400 • Fax: (415) 291-4401 [email protected] • www.ppic.org Preface The PPIC Statewide Survey series provides policymakers, the media, and the general public with objective, advocacy-free information on the perceptions, opinions, and public policy preferences of California residents.

  • Prescott Bush Won a U.S
    Prescott Bush lost the 1950 Connecticut Sen- ate race when his ties to Planned Parenthood were exposed. (Getty) Prescott Bush won a U.S. Senate seat on his second try. (Wikimedia Commons) It seemed Poppy was working for the CIA as early as 1961. (Associated Press) George Bush ran for the Senate as a Goldwater conservative in 1964 and was crushed. (Associated Press) This FBI memo from Director J. Edgar Hoover identified George Bush as working for the CIA in 1963 (see bottom paragraph). (Wikimedia Commons) George Bush called the FBI office in Houston minutes after the JFK assassination to report a possible suspect… or was it to create an alibi? (Wikimedia Commons) Oswald’s handler, George deMohrenschildt, killed himself after being subpoenaed to tes- tify about JFK’s murder. Bush’s phone num- ber was found in his address book. (Corbis) Poppy won a House seat in a district especially drawn for him. (Corbis) Bush was slickly packaged as a more con- servative John Lindsay in 1970—he lost anyway. (Wikimedia Commons) Attorney General and Nixon political advisor John Mitchell told me he directed the White House’s 1970 illegal, dark money Townhouse operation to put hun- dreds of thousands of dollars of laundered money into George Bush’s 1970 presi- dential campaign. It was called the “dress rehearsal for Watergate.” (Wikimedia Commons) Retired Senator Prescott Bush wanted to be president himself. He lined up big Eastern and Wall Street money for both failed Bush Senate bids. (Wikimedia Commons) The UN was Poppy’s consolation prize from Nixon after losing the 1970 Senate race.
