FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Anne Fracassa October 13, 1988 371-6522 AREA GROUP / Mrs. Carol Smith, Co-Chairman of Detroit Chapter Right-to-Life, that her organization is doing everything possib ~to support the efforts of the Michigan Committee to End Tax-Funded Abortions ~ ~f;?o Jr~~ •:our purpose is to encourage the people of Wayne County and surrounding areas to vote "YES" on Proposal A on November 8th to end elective tax-funded abortions in Michigan.", Mrs. Smith said. "We want to do our part toward putting this Lj . - cJ-6/-;2 Js-? issue to rest once and for all." ~JP/U.-~/ , ~~ She noted that, "Thirty-six states have already decided that taxpayers shouldn't have to pay for elective Medicaid abortions. Michigan is the only state in the Midwest that still uses tax funds for this purpose. We believe Michigan's citizens shouldn't have to pay for elective abortions." Over the past 10 years, the Michigan Legislature has voted 17 times to end state funding of Medicaid abortions, but gubernatorial vetoes have allowed them to continue. "The legislature obviously feels this is bad tax policy, and recent polls indicate that a majority of Michigan's citizens feel that way too," Mrs. Smith said. ''A 'YES' vote on Proposal A will get Michigan out of the $6 million-a-year Medicaid abortion business, and we believe the 'YES' vote will prevail November 8th. l"i37i]. Vote "Yes" on "A" ~ End Tax-Funded Abortions NEWS from The Committee to End Tax-Funded Abortions MEDIA CONTACT: For Immediate Release John Wilson October 14, 1988 (517) 487-3376 LEGISLATORS, NATIONAL EXPERT QUESTION PRO-TAX ABORTION CAMPAIGN FOCUS AND COST SCARE TACTICS Lansing, MI. -- In a press conference here October 13, Senator Fred Dillingham, Representative Nick Ciaramitaro and Dr. Allan Carlson responded to recent charges by the People's Campaign for Choice (PCC) concerning the cost of a proposed ban on tax-funded abortions and questioned the focus of the PCC campaign. Representative Ciaramitaro (D-Roseville) questioned PCC's use of the argument that it is cheaper to abort than support children of Medicaid recipients saying, "That argument is clearly reprehensible --even if it were true". Ciaramitaro pointed out that there were many reasons to oppose tax-funded abortions. "Some feel that all abortions are wrong. Others feel that abortion should be an option for women and that it should not be encouraged or funded by the state." Ciaramitaro went on to say that state tax funding of elective abortions encourages use of abortion as a form of birth WESTERN MICHIGAN OFFICE CENTRAL MICHIGAN OFFICE S.E.

He noted that the abortion rate among Medicaid recipients is almost three times higher than that of the general population. Senator Dillingham (D-Howell) questioned the cost estimates recently released by C. Patrick Babcock, Director of the Michigan Department of Social Services, as well as Babcock's personal involvement in the PCC campaign. Noting that Babcock is an active member of the pro-tax abortion campaign and that he has allowed his name to be used in PCC fund-raising efforts, Dillingham said," Babcock's knowing association with the FCC's concerted effort to distort the truth is the last thing I would expect of a gentleman of Pat's integrity." Dillingham went on to say that the cost estimates recently released by Babcock were based on several false assumptions and did not take into account nationally published research concerning the increased use of contraceptives once abortions are no longer provided for free. Dillingham also noted that 60% of the women who have abortions use no form of birth control other than abortions and that 40% of the women who have an abortion have at least one more abortion. He also pointed out that an estimated 10% of the women who have a Medicaid abortion have more than one abortion in the same year. He concluded, "The potential for the conception rate to drop among - 2 - ... Medicaid women is tremendous." Dr. Allan Carlson of the Rockford Institute in Rockford, Illinois, and a national expert on the long-range economic impact of abortion, also questioned the validity of cost estimates used by PCC. "Every child, regardless of where or to whom it is born, is an economic burden on society. That's a fact," Carlson said. "Taxpayers must subsidize much of what it takes to raise every child, including the child's education and so on. It is not until a child reaches adulthood that it becomes an economic benefit to society, and aborting children, particularly with tax funds, is short-changing all of society in the long run." Carlson concluded by estimating that, by the year 2025, the national economic impact of what he called the abortion deficit would be $1.45 trillion, including $291 billion in lost federal tax revenues. - 3 - ~ Vote "Yes" on "A" ~ End Tax-Funded Abortions NEWS from The Committee to End Tax-Funded Abortions MEDIA CONTACT: For Immediate Release David Szymanski (313) 344-9595 October 19, 1988 CETFA TO BROADCAST STATEWIDE PROPOSAL "A" TELETHON OCTOBER 20 Novi, Mich. -- At press conferences today in Grand Rapids, Lansing and Novi, Barbara Listing, chairperson of The Committee to End Tax-Funded Abortions (CETFA), announced that the ballot question group will sponsor a statewide telethon on Proposal A. Listing said the one-hour program, entitled Yes-"A"-Thon, will be broadcast on eight stations around Michigan between 7 - 8 p.m. on Thursday, October 20. The program will be broadcast on the following television stations: WBKB Ch. 11 - Alpena, WXON Ch. 20 - Detroit, WSMH Ch. 66 - Flint, WZZM Ch. 13 - Grand Rapids, WUHQ Ch. 41 - Battle Creek, WLNS Ch. 6 - Lansing, WLUC Ch. 6 - Marquette and WGTU Ch. 29 - Traverse City. In announcing Yes-"A"-Thon, Listing said, "The program is intended to do two things. First, we want to inform voters about Proposal A and encourage them to vote 'Yes' November 8 to end tax funding for elective Medicaid abortions in Michigan.

The program will provide important information but also will have good entertainment value." Yes-"A"-Thon will combine live segments with taped interviews and profiles, including a feature on Ann Strubler, a violinist with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. The master of ceremonies will be Eileen Prose, host of a morning television show in Boston. In addition, internationally recognized gospel singer and composer Martha Reyes will perform, and there will be appearances by:leading Michigan citizens, including Thomas Monaghan, president of Domino's Pizza. The telethon is being produced by Intercommunity Telecommunications of Silver Springs, Maryland, a production house that has done similar broadcasts for other groups. Tom Howard, winner of the Monitor Award as Best Television Director for 1988, is directing the production. According to Listing, Yes-"A"-Thon has been promoted to local CETFA groups around Michigan. These groups will be holding house parties during the broadcast and will phone in to volunteer time and make contributions. Telephone numbers for contributions and for viewers to take part are: S.E. Mich. -- (313) 344-9595, Western Mich. -- (616) 451-0601, Central Mich. -- (517) 487-3376. - 2 - ' . "Pro-tax abortion groups have been trying to confuse voters about Proposal A and are engaging in a misinformation campaign," Listing said. "The Yes-'A'-Thon will give us the opportunity to clarify the issue so voters can make an informed decision.

Listing held the press conference in response to statements made yesterday by the pro-tax abortion trio. The issue of rape-related pregnancy is raised by pro-tax advocates because Public Act 59 of 1987, which will be enacted with a "Yes" vote on Proposal A, does not contain an exception for rape-related abortions.

    How First-Term Members Enter the House Burdett

    Coming into the Country: How First-Term Members Enter the House Burdett Loomis University of Kansas and The Brookings Institution November 17, 2000 In mulling over how newly elected Members of Congress (henceforth MCs1) “enter” the U.S. House of Representatives, I have been drawn back to John McPhee’s classic book on Alaska, Coming into the Country. Without pushing the analogy too far, the Congress is a lot like Alaska, especially for a greenhorn. Congress is large, both in terms of numbers (435 members and 8000 or so staffers) and geographic scope (from Seattle to Palm Beach, Manhattan to El Paso). Even Capitol Hill is difficult to navigate, as it requires a good bit of exploration to get the lay of the land. The congressional wilderness is real, whether in unexplored regions of the Rayburn Building sub-basements or the distant corridors of the fifth floor of the Cannon Office Building, where a sturdy band of first-term MCs must establish their Washington outposts. Although both the state of Alaska and the House of Representatives are governed by laws and rules, many tricks of survival are learned informally -- in a hurried conversation at a reception or at the House gym, in the wake of a pick-up basketball game. In the end, there’s no single understanding of Alaska – it’s too big, too complex. Nor is there any single way to grasp the House. It’s partisan, but sometimes resistant to partisanship. It’s welcoming and alienating. It’s about Capitol Hill, but also about 435 distinct constituencies.

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 ....................................................................................................................
