  • Kesha Rogers: Independent 'Classical' Candidate for Congress From
    INTERVIEW Kesha Rogers: Independent ‘Classical’ Candidate for Congress from Texas’ 9th C.D. Oct. 23—In an interview today, less than two weeks before the November 6 Midterm elections, independent candidate Kesha Rogers stressed that her campaign is finding an absolute thirst for big ideas and the types of crash-program problem solving that is characteristic of the space pro- gram. Rogers, who is spearheading the LaRouche PAC’s Campaign to Secure the Future’s intervention into the Midterms, is running as an inde- pendent in Texas’ 9th C.D. against in- cumbent Democrat Al Green. Green positioned himself to lead the insane impeachment drive for the Democrats against Donald Trump in grandstanding Congressional speeches in 2017 and early 2018. In those speeches, Green proclaimed, contrary to the explicit words of the Constitution, that impeachment was Cartoons lampooning Rogers’ opponent, Democrat incumbent Greedy Al Green, who a matter of partisan whim, that the has introduced legislation to impeach President Trump.

  • The Evolution of the Digital Political Advertising Network
    PLATFORMS AND OUTSIDERS IN PARTY NETWORKS: THE EVOLUTION OF THE DIGITAL POLITICAL ADVERTISING NETWORK Bridget Barrett A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts at the Hussman School of Journalism and Media. Chapel Hill 2020 Approved by: Daniel Kreiss Adam Saffer Adam Sheingate © 2020 Bridget Barrett ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Bridget Barrett: Platforms and Outsiders in Party Networks: The Evolution of the Digital Political Advertising Network (Under the direction of Daniel Kreiss) Scholars seldom examine the companies that campaigns hire to run digital advertising. This thesis presents the first network analysis of relationships between federal political committees (n = 2,077) and the companies they hired for electoral digital political advertising services (n = 1,034) across 13 years (2003–2016) and three election cycles (2008, 2012, and 2016). The network expanded from 333 nodes in 2008 to 2,202 nodes in 2016. In 2012 and 2016, Facebook and Google had the highest normalized betweenness centrality (.34 and .27 in 2012 and .55 and .24 in 2016 respectively). Given their positions in the network, Facebook and Google should be considered consequential members of party networks. Of advertising agencies hired in the 2016 electoral cycle, 23% had no declared political specialization and were hired disproportionately by non-incumbents. The thesis argues their motivations may not be as well-aligned with party goals as those of established political professionals. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES AND FIGURES ....................................................................................................................

  • USA: Kandidat Fra Larouche-Bevægelsen Kesha Rogers' Kampagne <Br>Ryster Demokrater; Gør Banen Klar for Obamas Impeachm
    USA: Kandidat fra LaRouche- bevægelsen Kesha Rogers’ kampagne ryster Demokrater; gør banen klar for Obamas Impeachment 27. feb. 2014 – Der er adskillige indikationer på, at LaRouche-bevægelsens demokratiske kandidat, Kesha Rogers, ryster Det demokratiske Parti i Texas, og utvivlsomt også Det hvide Hus, ved at demonstrere, at der er udbredt opbakning til en impeachment (rigsretssag) af/mod Barack Obama. Rogers, som to gange har vundet de demokratiske primærvalg til den amerikanske Kongres i 22. distrikt i Texas, er velkendt for sin fastholdelse af, at der ikke findes nogen løsning på den dybe krise, som truer liv (generelt, red.– ) på vores planet, så længe præsident Obama beklæder embedet som præsident, og Wall Streets ’Too Big to Fail’-finansenheder (‘TBTF’– kæmpe ’universalbanker’, hvor traditionel, kommerciel bankvirksomhed med ind- og udlån, kredit til opbygning af den lokale, fysiske økonomi og erhvervslivet, lån til almindelige husstande osv. er blandet totalt sammen med spekulativ handel med ’værdipapirer’, herunder derivater, swaps o.a. red.– ) fortsat er ureguleret, og deres svindelnumre beskyttes af hans regering.

En førende demokratisk skikkelse fra Houston sagde, at »det ikke ville forbavse ham«, hvis Kesha blev nummer ét ved primærvalgende den 4. marts, når man tager »de øvrige kandidaters ekstremt ringe kvalitet, samt Keshas hidtidige præstationer« i betragtning. Han sagde, at Det demokratiske Parti traf en beslutning om IKKE at gøre et stort nummer ud af Kesha, af frygt for, at offentlig støtte til hendes standpunkter »ville øge hendes opbakning«, idet man erkender, at opbakningen til Obama blandt vælgerne er faldende.
