In the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania Mike Kelly, Sean Parnell, Thomas A. Frank, Nancy Kierzek, Derek Magee, Robin Sauter, Michae
Received 11/27/2020 9:08:00 PM Supreme Court Middle District Filed 11/27/2020 9:08:00 PM Supreme Court Middle District 68 MAP 2020 IN THE SUPREME COURT OF PENNSYLVANIA MIKE KELLY, SEAN PARNELL, THOMAS A. FRANK, NANCY KIERZEK, DEREK MAGEE, ROBIN SAUTER, MICHAEL KINCAID, and WANDA LOGAN, Petitioners, v. COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, PENNSYLVANIA No. 68 MAP 2020 GENERAL ASSEMBLY, THOMAS W. WOLF, and KATHY BOOCKVAR, Respondents, DNC SERVICES CORP. / DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE, Proposed Intervenor- Respondent. PROPOSED INTERVENOR-RESPONDENT DNC’S APPLICATION FOR LEAVE TO INTERVENE Proposed-Intervenor DNC Services Corp. / Democratic National Committee (“DNC”) hereby submits this Application for Leave to Intervene, and states the following in support: I. INTRODUCTION Petitioners seek to retroactively invalidate millions of mail-in ballots and enjoin the Commonwealth from finalizing its presidential electors and certifying the remainder of its races. While Petitioners’ claims are meritless, the requested relief, if granted, would significantly impair the electoral prospects of the DNC’s candidates and disenfranchise more than a million of its voters. No party to this proceeding adequately represents the DNC’s interests. Respondents have the duty to enforce Pennsylvania law, which is distinct from the DNC’s particularized interest in having its candidates assume office and its voters’ ballots counted. The DNC’s interests could also break sharply from Respondents’ interests in the event Act 77 is found unconstitutional under Pennsylvania law and the Court must devise an appropriate remedy. This is evident in the parties’ briefs below at the Commonwealth Court, wherein the DNC highlighted the federal constitutional rights which the requested relief would violate—an issue that no other party directly raised. -

Alaska State Library, Winter and Pond Collection, PCA 87-1050 Effects of Colonialism Why do we hear so much about high rates of alcoholism, suicide, and violence in many Alaska Native communities? What is the Indian Child Welfare Act? “The children that were brought to the Eklutna Vocational School were expected to learn the English language. They were not allowed to speak their own language even among themselves.” Alberta Stephan 63 Why do we hear so much about high rates of alcoholism, suicide, and violence in many Alaska Native communities? Like virtually all Northern societies, Alaska suffers from high rates of alcoholism, violence, and suicide in all sectors of its population, regardless of social class or ethnicity. Society as a whole in the United States has long wrestled with problems of alcoholism. As historian Michael Kimmel observes, “…by today's standards, American men of the early national peri- od were hopeless sots…Alcohol was a way of life; even the founding fathers drank heavi- ly…Alcohol was such an accepted part of American life that in 1829 the secretary of war estimated that three quarters of the nation's laborers drank daily at least 4 ounces of distilled spirits.” 1 Many scholars have speculated that economic anxiety and social disconnection fueled this tendency towards alcoholic overuse in non-Native men of the early American nation. -
Alaska's Citizens Lock out Private Prisons
ALASKA’S CITIZENS LOCK OUT PRIVATE PRISONS PU BLI C OPI NION BLOCKS PRIVA TI ZA TION ATTEMPTS By LINDA CA SEY November 6, 2008 NATIO NA L IN STI TU TE O N MONEY I N STA TE PO LITI CS This publication was made possible with support from: Carnegie Corporation of New York, Strengthening U.S. Democracy Ford Foundation, Governance Performance and Accountability The Pew Charitable Trusts, State Policy Initiatives Rockefeller Brothers Fund, Program on Democratic Practice 833 NORTH LAST CHANCE GULCH, SECOND FLOOR • HELENA, MT • 59601 PHONE 406-449-2480 • FAX 406-457-2091 • E-MAIL [email protected] www.followthemoney.org OVERVIEW Since the mid-1990s — through six legislative sessions and three gubernatorial administrations — Alaska’s lawmakers have made more than a half dozen attempts to privatize prisons. These attempts have met with unfavorable public opinion. To date, the strength of public opposition has prevailed, and all private prison proposals have been defeated. But the state needs prison beds, and a lack of them means that state prisoners are being sent to other states.1 In 2004, the issue was addressed with the passage of Senate Bill 65, which authorized construction of a 1,500-bed prison in Matanuska-Susitna Borough. But it is not a private prison. Construction began in August 2008, but none of the design or construction of the facility is being performed by the private-prison interests that have been involved in the push for privatization of prisons since the early 1990s. Instead the facility’s construction will be controlled by the Mat-Su Borough and operated by the state of Alaska.2 BACKGROUND Starting in the 1990s, five donors formed a variety of partnerships in an effort to promote the private prison idea in Alaska: . -
MUR# 563 7 Iv Dear Mr
a. 0 September 11,2004 Lawrence Norton, Esq. General Counsel Federal Election Commission 999 E Street, NW, 6th Floor Washington, D.C. 20463 Re: Voice of the Times MUR# 563 7 Iv Dear Mr. Norton: 0 This complaint asserts that Bill Allen, VECO Corporation, and the "Voice of tjR Times" feature of the Anchorage Daily News have violated the Federal Electia Campaign Act (the "Act"), 2 U.S.C. 55 43 1 et seq. (2004) and related regulatims of the Commission, 11 C.F.R. $9 100.1 et seq. (2004). The facts indicate that Bill Allen and/or VECO Corporation are making illegal expenditures on behalf of Lisa Murkowski for U.S. Senate, through the "Voice of the Times" daily advertisements. These contributions are either a corporate contribution, barred by 2 U.S.C. 8 441b(a), or an independent expenditure required to be reported by 2 U.S.C. 8 434(c). FACTS Until 1992, there were two newspapers serving Anchorage, Alaska: the Anchorage Daily News and the Anchorage Times. In 1992, the Anchorage Times ceased publishing as a separate newspaper. As part of a business arrangement, the Daily News agreed to publish the "Voice of the Times" on the op-ed page every day as "an alternative editorial voice." Bill J. Allen, Chairman and CEO of VECO Corporation, is the publisher of the Voice of the Times. 'See How these Pages Work, ANCHORAGE DAILYNEWS, Jan. 5,2004, at B4 (Attachment A). The Voice of the Times has consistently advocated the election of Lisa Murkowski to the United States Senate, and it has consistently advocated the defeat of Senate candidate Tony Knowles. -
