POLITICAL SCIENCE Newsletter CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, LONG BEACH SPRING 2011 DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE Newsletter Greetings from the Chair Dear Alumni, Students, Faculty, and Friends, Greetings from the POSC department. Despite enormous budget cuts that have imperiled our ability to provide a quality education, we have had an eventful and productive year. As I write, however, there are dark clouds on the horizon; if the tax extensions proposed by Governor Brown do not succeed, our campus will face budget cuts so severe that we will be unable to provide the classes and services that students need, and countless eli- gible students will not have access to a university education through the CSU. This year also has witnessed some transitions. As you will read in the pages that follow, former faculty members Steve Horn and Sudershan Chawla have passed away; and in May 2011 Ron Schmidt will retire. As always, I thank our amazing office staff—Nancy St. Martin, Amelia Marquez, and student assistant Kristin Taylor—for their invaluable assistance and support. In addition, I wish to thank all of those who responded to last year’s newslet- ter, and encourage you to keep us posted regarding your activities and accomplishments. Finally, particularly in this time of great crisis in higher education, I hope that you will continue to actively participate in INSIDE THIS ISSUE politics, and to use your knowledge and skills to work for the betterment Faculty publications and activities 2-3 of our local, national, and global Transtions 4-5 communities.

    tewSteve Horn for Congress 3944 Pine Avenue Long Beach, CA 98807 (562) 492-9388 Septem&::3,-.. .1998 .. Mr. F. Andrew Turley Supervisory Attorney Central Enforcement Docket Federal Election Commission 999 E. Street, N. W. Washington, D. C. 20463 RE: MUR 4786 Dear Mr. Turley, This letter is in response to your letter of August 17, 1998 which was postmarked August 18 and received by us on August 2 1. We are submitting our response within the 15 day timeline requested and this is being sent via Federal Express (I discussed the timeline and thc acceptable methods of sending this with Ms. Alva Smith on September 2). Please consider this letter as the response to all copies of your letter that were sent to us. The Peter Mathews campaign alleges that the letter sent out by this campaign on March 17, 1998 violates the anti-solicitation provisions of the sale or use restriction (2 U. S. C. 438(a) (4); Sec. 104.15 of the Code of Federal Regulations for Federal Elections). The claim is without merit and the commission should reject the complaint for the reasons set forth below. 1. Constitutional and Legal Basis for our Actions: 1) The Steve Horn for Congress Committee has an absolute First Amendment right to engage in unrestricted political speech with any and all persons and organizations with which it wishes to communicate. 2) The clear language of the provision at issue prohibits solicitation of contributions. We have sent two other letters (one in 1994 md one in June of this year; both are enclosed for your review) similar to the letter of March 17.

    Assembly Joint Resolution No. 17 RESOLUTION CHAPTER 77 Assembly Joint Resolution No. 17—Relative to persons with disabilities. [Filed with Secretary of State August 19, 1999.] LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST AJR 17, Aroner. Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999. This measure would urge the United States Congress to pass the Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999 in order to meet the urgent demands of people with disabilities who work or want to work across the nation. WHEREAS, In California and elsewhere, throughout a prolonged period of economic well-being and record low unemployment rates, recent national and California studies both have unacceptable findings that only one-third of adults with disabilities nationally and in California hold part-time or full-time jobs; and WHEREAS, In these same studies, 75 percent of those not working stated they want to work; and WHEREAS, The lack of access to private health insurance or the lack of continuing access to Medi-Cal or Medicare is the main obstacle individuals with significant disabilities face when working or returning to work; and WHEREAS, The Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) work incentive rules have the potential to be effective but are underutilized, overly complex, and inconsistently administered. Social Security work incentives are used by only a small fraction of those eligible and often result in benefit overpayments that must be repaid by the payee; and WHEREAS, People with disabilities who are SSDI beneficiaries and SSI recipients have limited choice in employment services; and WHEREAS, On January 28, 1999, Senator James M.
