Chapte 8 sect. 2 electing the president
The document discusses the history and process of electing the U.S. president. Originally, the candidate who received the most electoral votes became president and the runner-up became vice president. However, the election of 1800 led to changes being made. The Twelfth Amendment now requires electors to cast separate ballots for president and vice president. Currently, most states use a winner-take-all system where the candidate receiving the most popular votes in that state wins all its electoral votes. Critics argue this is unfair and can result in a candidate losing the nationwide popular vote but winning the electoral vote. There are ongoing debates around potential reforms to the Electoral College system.

report intended to give the Reagan Administration policy guidance. Their advocacy was characterized by Reagan as providing a significant role in the Reagan Doctrine and other conservative policies. It continued providing policy guidance for each subsequent presidential administration, although its success and influence fluctuated during that period. Generally, its influence waned during the tenure of Democratic presidents and rose during Republican Administrations. Generally, it has retained a record of high influence both domestically and abroad.[1] The University of Pennsylvania ranked Heritage as 12th worldwide and 7th in the United States.[1]
In the most recent administration, the Heritage Foundation has had widespread influence in government and culture. It’s academic arm was responsible for recommending at least 4 members of the Presidential cabinet, Scott Pruitt, Betsy DeVos, Mick Mulvaney, Rick Perry, and Jeff Sessions. Heritage’s lobbying arm, Heritage Action for America, has played a significant role in promoting conservative policies in Congress. As a 501(c)3, Heritage itself is not permitted to conduct direct lobbying or back specific legislation. Heritage Action takes the lead on these issues and helps lay the ground work for their ideal future.

Party building
This document discusses the role and functions of political parties. It covers topics like party structure, leadership, policymaking, funding, education, and challenges. Political parties are essential for democracy as they aggregate interests, recruit leaders, inform citizens, and ensure regime accountability. However, parties often have weak links to people and limited ability to influence policy. Building strong political parties requires institutionalizing systems and values, formulating clear policies, and increasing public trust. Overall, the document emphasizes that political parties must serve the people in order to strengthen democracy.
Celebrities and Nonprofits
This document discusses research on the influence of celebrities on donors' support of nonprofit organizations. It reviews literature finding that celebrities are most effective when they have a personal connection to the cause they are promoting. Celebrities can help raise awareness and attract new donors, though established donors are more influenced by personal relationships. The document also provides examples of celebrities like Ashley Judd who have successfully advocated for and helped nonprofit organizations by raising their profile and access to decision makers through her long term involvement. However, nonprofits must also be careful which celebrities they partner with to avoid those mainly looking to benefit themselves.

Some Crucial Skills for Modern Marketers
An accomplished executive, Bryan Specht has served as president of Olson Engage since 2012. Bryan Specht was also recognized as one of the top 50 influential leaders in the PR industry. His interests include digital advertising and modern marketing.
Modern marketing is an advanced form of marketing that centers on creating and maintaining organizational efficiency by paying attention to business strategies. Modern marketers build modern marketing plans, which involve skill, analysis, tech stack, and on-going education. However, building successful modern marketing plans requires marketers who hone an assortment of essential marketing qualities such as:
1. Time Management - Since time is limited when it comes to planning, responding to data in a timely manner is crucial for obtaining maximum benefits from metrics, increasing profits, adjusting to consumer needs, and catching up with changes in the industry.
2. Data Analysis - Collecting data is one thing, but the ability to apply the data correctly, or more specifically, to find the required answer is more important. An ideal modern marketer must be able to analyze data in a productive and meaningful manner.
3. Critical Thinking - Since several factors must be considered during planning, determining where, when, why, and how to address each factor is crucial.
4. Curiosity - To propel a marketing plan and company forward, a modern marketer should be able to develop feasible ideas that others in the space have not yet developed.
