Talk to your neighbors and friends about your concerns. Give a voice to these victims of gun violence. None of this is going to change overnight, but we bring sunlight to the issue by making it a point of discussion with our President’s loved ones.

  • Though General Election Focused on Economy, Religion-Related Storylines Were a Key Element in the Campaign
    How the News Media Covered Religion in the General Election Obama Gets Most Coverage, Much of It on False Rumor He Is a Muslim Nov. 20, 2008 Religion played a much more significant role in the media coverage of President-elect Barack Obama than it did in the press treatment of Republican nominee John McCain during the 2008 presidential campaign, but much of the coverage related to false yet persistent rumors that Obama is a Muslim. Meanwhile, there was little attempt by the news media during the campaign to comprehensively examine the role of faith in the political values and policies of the candidates, save for those of Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin. And when religion-focused campaign stories were covered by the mainstream press, often the context was negative, controversial or focused on a perceived political problem. In all, religion was a significant but not overriding storyline in the media coverage of the 2008 campaign. But in a campaign in which an Obama victory would give the U.S. its first black president, religion received as much coverage in the media as race. These are some of the findings of a new study of the coverage of religion in the campaign conducted by the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism and Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life. The study examined religion-focused election coverage in 48 different news outlets between June 1 and Oct. 15, 2008. 1 The “culture war” issues that have been prominent in past elections, such as abortion and gay marriage, received minimal attention in 2008.

As the media, political pundits, and private citizens pondered the meaning of these events, they expressed viewpoints, explanations, and possible solutions in mass-mediated outlets. We examined the discourses communicated in such outlets to understand how public discussion of teenage pregnancy reveals ideological assumptions about reproductive health, ideal family forms, and the expected lifecourse.

  • December 2009 Docket
    The Docket Volume 9, No. 11 December 2009 A Proud Day to Be a Lawyer I hope you share in my deep respect for the privilege of calling yourself a lawyer. While there are days I question whether I should have chosen an easier profession or vocation (unfortunately, my dreams of an NFL career came to an end in the 6th grade), I have a number of days each year when I know without reservation that I am pursuing the career I believe God prepared me to do at this stage of my life. One of those days was November 3, 2009 when I participated in the first ever Montgomery County Bar Association Legal Clinic. I personally visited with two clients which was in itself rewarding. However, the most rewarding thing for me that day was to see a diverse segment of our Bar come together for a great cause. At the clinic, a number of solo firm lawyers, Plaintiff lawyers and Defense lawyers (civil and criminal) all worked together to serve the public by providing free legal counsel to the disadvantaged.. It was one of the best pictures of our State Bar’s motto---“Lawyers Render Service.” I hope you will consider participating in the Legal Clinic in future months. Please call me if you want more information. This edition of our newsletter may be the most read legal publication in the whole State due to the traditional December column prepared by Bobby Segall. Bobby has been preparing his list of notable lawyers (and sometimes suspects) for as long as I can remember while at the same time being one of the busiest lawyers in the whole state.

Scripps School of Journalism and the Scripps College of Communication by Bernhard S.

Debatin This qualitative study explores the impact of new media, specifically social media and campaign websites with greater direct user participation and involvement. With the historic election of the first black president of the United States, Barack Obama, and the candidacy of the first Republican woman nominated for vice-president, Sarah Palin, the 2008 presidential and vice-presidential campaigns remain important for study. “Political Campaigning 2.0” analyzes campaign and user-generated web content covering a wide array of new media: Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, Wikipedia, Twitter, and campaign websites. The study is based on Erving Goffman’s theories of Framing and Impression Management and complemented with James Grunig’s Situational Theory of Publics.

In the two and a half years since then, an ACLU suit (brought on the same day as ours) was essentially dismissed on technicalities. And our lawsuit, Center for Constitutional Rights v. Bush , has seen over 700 pages of filings -- and not one single judicial ruling. Disappointment from the courts is never a surprise. But what has been surprising to me is that no one has come forward from within the ranks of the intelligence community to report on the illegal activities the President and former NSA director and current CIA chief Michael Hayden have admitted they were carrying out. While the government has spent years arguing that even federal judges couldn't scrutinize the NSA's actions because that could constitute a security risk, I've asked myself: The NSA has 40,000 employees.
