His papers, which predominately document these two campaigns, include correspondence, speeches and writings, press releases, clippings, election campaign literature, polling data, minutes, financial records, video tapes, sound recordings, and photographs. In his gubernatorial campaign, Clark received more than 5 percent of the popular vote. Although he campaigned as a Libertarian candidate and was the nominee of the Libertarian Party of California, Clark appeared on the ballot as an independent candidate. Important issues in his campaign included education, taxes, and job growth. He supported Proposition 13, which sought to limit property taxation, and campaigned against Proposition 6, also known as the Briggs Initiative, a proposition that would have limited gay and lesbian rights. The California gubernatorial campaign of 1978 file, which documents Clark's campaign, includes his correspondence and statements on issues. In 1980, Clark campaigned for president of the United States as the Libertarian Party candidate. He appeared on the ballot in all fifty states and received more than 1 percent of the popular vote. In his campaign, Clark argued for curbing inflation, reducing taxes, and providing tax credits for education. He supported a non-interventionist foreign policy and opposed the draft and energy subsidies. The campaign ran national television advertisements that were largely funded by Clark's running mate, David Koch. The United States presidential campaign of 1980 file includes a clippings scrapbook covering Clark's campaign; correspondence between Clark and David Nolan, who was the founder of the Libertarian Party; and files of Alicia Clark, who campaigned for her husband, Ed Clark. The Audiovisual material includes a sound recording of Clark's speech upon accepting the presidential nomination as the candidate for the Libertarian Party, as well as other sound recordings and films related to his presidential campaign.

    Mount Rushmore: The Rise of Talk Radio and Its Impact on Politics and Public Policy Brian Asher Rosenwald Wynnewood, PA Master of Arts, University of Virginia, 2009 Bachelor of Arts, University of Pennsylvania, 2006 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Virginia August, 2015 !1 © Copyright 2015 by Brian Asher Rosenwald All Rights Reserved August 2015 !2 Acknowledgements I am deeply indebted to the many people without whom this project would not have been possible. First, a huge thank you to the more than two hundred and twenty five people from the radio and political worlds who graciously took time from their busy schedules to answer my questions. Some of them put up with repeated follow ups and nagging emails as I tried to develop an understanding of the business and its political implications. They allowed me to keep most things on the record, and provided me with an understanding that simply would not have been possible without their participation. When I began this project, I never imagined that I would interview anywhere near this many people, but now, almost five years later, I cannot imagine the project without the information gleaned from these invaluable interviews. I have been fortunate enough to receive fellowships from the Fox Leadership Program at the University of Pennsylvania and the Corcoran Department of History at the University of Virginia, which made it far easier to complete this dissertation. I am grateful to be a part of the Fox family, both because of the great work that the program does, but also because of the terrific people who work at Fox.

  • Billionaires Tea Party
    1 THE BILLIONAIRES’ TEA PARTY How Corporate America is Faking a Grassroots Revolution [transcript] Barack Obama: This is our moment. This is our time. To reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth that where we are many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope; and where we are met with cynicism and doubt and those who tell us we can’t, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes we can. Man on Stage: They’re listening to us. They are taking us seriously, and the message is: It’s our county, and they can have it when they pry it from our cold dead fingers. They work for me! NARRATOR: Where did it all go wrong for Barack Obama and the democrats? After sweeping to power with a promise of hope and change, a citizens uprising called the tea party movement emerged. Their message was “no” to big government spending, “no” to healthcare and climate change legislation, and “no” to Obama himself. Woman: Obama is a communist. He says that he doesn't believe in the constitution. NARRATOR: Then, two years into Obama’s presidency, tea party endorsed candidates emerged to sweep the republicans to victory in the House of Representatives. Male News Reader: 32% of the candidates that were elected last night across this country are affiliated with the Tea Party movement. Rand Paul: There's a Tea Party tidal wave, and we're sending a message to 'em. Female Reporter: And they see it as a repudiation of the President and his policies.

  • 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.

MUR# Washington, D.C. 20463 Re: MUR 6869, In the Matter of the Commission on Presidential Debates, et al. To Whom It May Concern: We represent the Libertarian National Committee, Inc., which controls and manages the affairs of the United States Libertarian Party (the "Libertarian Party"). On its behalf, we respectfully request to join the Complaint against the Commissiori on Presidential Debates and certain of its directors, filed on behalf of Level the Playing Field and Peter Ackeiman In the Matter of the Commission on Presidential Debates, et al, MUR 6869. The Libertarian Party shares the views of Level the Playing Field and Dr. Ackerman that the Commission on Presidential Debates ("CPD") and certain of its directors (the "Named Directors") have violated the Federal Election Campaign Act and the Commission's regulations in connection with the CPD's hosting of general election presidential debates. The Libertarian Party asserts no new allegations, and instead incorporates fully the allegations against the CPD and the Named Directors set forth in the Complaint in MUR 6869. Accordingly, the Commission should permit the Libertarian Party to join the Complaint in MUR 6869 rather than initiating a new MUR and treating the Libertarian Party's request to join as a new administrative complaint.
