This document summarizes the history and influence of lobbyists in California politics. It describes how lobbyists represent thousands of interest groups affected by state policies and work to craft beneficial legislation. In the past, powerful lobbyists like Artie Samish were able to ensure regulations protected their clients, but now legislative leaders decide how lobbying money is distributed. Major industries that hire lobbyists include health care, technology, energy, and local governments. The document provides examples of lobbying expenditures by groups like PG&E, the city of Atherton, and Google. Many lobbyists are former elected officials or legislative staffers who leverage their expertise and connections.

Young - Task, Nullification Crisis
The passage discusses the Nullification Crisis that arose from tensions over tariffs in the early 19th century. Tariffs were implemented by the federal government both to generate revenue and protect domestic industries, but they were opposed by Southern agrarian states as they increased prices and benefited Northern manufacturers. This led John C. Calhoun and others to argue for the doctrine of nullification, which held that states could declare federal laws unconstitutional. The crisis came to a head over the "Tariff of Abominations" of 1828, leading South Carolina to threaten secession. Henry Clay helped broker a compromise tariff in 1833 to resolve the issue, but tensions between states' rights and federal authority remained unresolved and foreshadowed future

This document provides an overview of United States and Italian laws regarding trademark counterfeiting of luxury goods. It summarizes that both countries have seen economic impacts in the billions from the underground counterfeit market. The US initially regulated trademarks through state laws and passed the Lanham Act in 1946 to provide federal protections, establishing civil remedies. Over decades, laws were strengthened through acts establishing criminal penalties for traffickers in 1984 and increasing penalties through recent acts. Italian law also strengthened over the past 10 years, implementing strict criminal legislation and focusing on individual liability for purchasers.

Corporate greed and the pursuit of profit have led to a number of social and economic issues in the United States. The drive for profits has contributed to the mortgage crisis, Wall Street meltdown, corruption in the pharmaceutical industry, and the growth of the for-profit prison industry. The war on drugs and tough-on-crime policies have disproportionately increased incarceration rates and benefited private prison companies that contract inmate labor for pennies per hour. Today over 2 million people are incarcerated in the US, and many are forced to work for private companies.

The Progressive Movement aimed to remedy issues stemming from industrialization and urbanization through social, political, and economic reforms.

Key reforms included women's suffrage, child labor laws, prohibition, and regulating working hours.
Recall,Initiative, Referendum2
California allows citizens to directly participate in the legislative process through initiatives, referendums, and recalls. While some argue this makes democracy more direct, others counter that these tools are actually used by wealthy elites and special interest groups to push their agendas. Additionally, many initiatives end up being poorly written or invalidated in court due to the public not having sufficient expertise to craft legislation. Overall, there is debate around whether direct democracy through these processes truly empowers citizens or is susceptible to manipulation.

Progressives sought to use government action and legislation to implement reforms that protected social welfare, promoted moral improvement, created economic reform, and fostered efficiency. Key reforms included women's suffrage, child labor laws, prohibition, and regulating working hours.
Recall,Initiative, Referendum2
California allows citizens to directly participate in the legislative process through initiatives, referendums, and recalls. While some argue this makes democracy more direct, others counter that these tools are actually used by wealthy elites and special interest groups to push their agendas. Additionally, many initiatives end up being poorly written or invalidated in court due to the public not having sufficient expertise to craft legislation. Overall, there is debate around whether direct democracy through these processes truly empowers citizens or is susceptible to manipulation.
California Politics (Summer06)
The document discusses California's system of direct democracy through initiatives, referendums, and recalls. It provides background on their origins in the early 20th century as a way for citizens to have more direct control over laws and policies. There are arguments that they empower ordinary citizens but also that they are tools that mostly benefit wealthy individuals and organizations. While initiatives allow for progressive laws, some that passed received major funding from conservative groups and targeted immigrant and minority rights. Critics argue citizens may lack expertise to make complex decisions and be swayed by emotions over long-term impacts. Many initiatives are challenged in courts with around half being invalidated.

“The People”
Legally
The Declaration of Independence
says that governments are
constituted among men to secure the
rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit
of happiness. Any powers they
have are dependent on the consent
of the governed.
“The People”
Legally
Not only do you get a say in what the
government does, but you also get
certain protections.
Civil Liberties
• Freedom of Expression
• Criminal Protections
“The People”
Legally
But for more than 100 years, “the people”
didn’t mean everyone. Indeed, the rights of
suffrage and citizenship rights only extended
slowly, and with a fight.

“The People”
Legally
“The People”
Legally
Nowadays, virtually everyone
enjoys equal status under the law.
“The People”
Politically
However, legal equality isn’t political equality.
“The People”
Politically
Voters vs. Non-Voters
Organized vs. Unorganized
Attentive vs. Inattentive
Intense vs. Apathetic
Contributors vs. Everyone Else
The Process
If it is “the people” who are to govern, then the question is how?
As we talked about, one way would be to have every citizen vote on every
issue requiring a decision. Of course, such a direct democracy is
impractical almost anywhere, much less in a nation as big as ours.
So instead we delegate to representatives who act on our behalf. Such is
the basis of our representative democracy. The question we asked was
how we can keep those officials focused on our goals (rather than their
own, or someone else’s).
The Process
Republican Government
The answer, we said, was to have a government where…
1. Elections are free, fair, competitive, and frequent.
2. Governance is transparent, debated, and widely covered.
The Process
Elections
Free? Essentially Yes
- questions of registration and former felons and such
Fair? Pretty much
- questions of campaign funding, ballot technology, and such
Competitive? Debated
- gerrymandering, fundraising, media, public apathy
Frequent? Some say too frequent.
The Process
Governance
Transparent? Mixed
- way more public than old days…but lots of complexity
Contested? Mixed
- House rules
- Senate rules
- Parties encourage cheerleading w/in party.
Widely Covered? Yes and No
- Inside and Outside Beltway
- President vs. Everyone Else
- State to State (Media Market to Media Market)
Linking People and Process
Even if process is competitive, transparent,.
publicly financed campaigns
This document provides background on publicly financed political campaigns in the United States. It discusses the history of campaign finance laws and Supreme Court cases that have impacted this issue. Specifically, it outlines the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 which established disclosure requirements and contribution limits, and how the 1976 Supreme Court case Buckley v. Valeo challenged aspects of this act and established that political donations are a form of protected political speech. The document argues that while limiting donations is no longer viable, incentivizing small donations from regular citizens could help counter large donations from corporations and wealthy donors.
Citizens Guide to the Washington Legislature
Here are some key dates for the legislative session:
- January 13th - First day of the legislative session. This is when bills can start to be introduced.
- February 16th - Policy committee cutoff. This is the deadline for bills to pass out of their initial policy committees.
- March 5th - Fiscal committee cutoff. This is the deadline for bills with a fiscal impact to pass out of their fiscal committees like Appropriations or Ways & Means.

The Progressive Era was a period in American history from the 1890s to the 1920s characterized by efforts to address issues associated with rapid industrialization and urbanization. Two important objectives of Progressivism were making government more responsive and limiting the influence of political machines. The Radio Act of 1927 was passed to regulate radio broadcasting and was influenced by Progressive ideals around public interest. It helped bring order to the growing radio industry and addressed concerns about monopolies controlling public opinion. The radio act and Progressive Era were related in that radio provided a means for publicizing Progressive reforms and sharing information, helping advance various causes like women's suffrage.
Impact Brief - Elections
This document summarizes key issues regarding election systems in New York and the United States, focusing on campaign finance, access to voting, and voter eligibility. It provides a brief history of laws and debates around each issue area. For campaign finance, it discusses the history of expenditure limits, contribution limits, disclosure requirements, and public financing. For access, it examines voting methods and identification requirements. For eligibility, it outlines who is allowed to vote. The document also summarizes current debates around strengthening enforcement of campaign finance laws in New York State.
Progressive era reform
Theodore Roosevelt and other reformers worked to address abuses in politics and big business during the Progressive Era from 1901-1917. Muckraking journalists like Upton Sinclair investigated issues like poor working conditions and helped pass legislation like the Meat Inspection Act. Reforms took place at local, state, and federal levels with goals of making government more responsive and breaking up monopolies.
The progressives respond to the problems
The Progressives enacted reforms to address several problems that arose during the Industrial Revolution. Some of the key problems they targeted included long work hours, child labor, workplace injuries, unsanitary meat production, and political corruption. The reforms enacted included establishing limits on work hours and child labor, implementing workers' compensation laws, passing the Meat Inspection Act and Pure Food and Drugs Act, adopting the secret ballot and direct primaries, and establishing antitrust laws. The document outlines how Progressives sought to use government action and regulation to remedy issues in labor, industry, politics, and society that had negative impacts on workers and ordinary citizens.
How Liberal Billionaires are Controlling the EPA
In 2014 the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment & Public Works published the results of an investigation into how the EPA and other agencies are being influenced by big money in the Big Green movement. The report is titled "The Chain of Environmental Command: How a Club of Billionaires and Their Foundations Control the Environmental Movement and Obama's EPA". This is the full report that names names and connects the dots between billionaires and undue influence over environmental policy.
Citizens United v. Federal Election CommissionFor more than 100 .docx
Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission
For more than 100 years Congress and the Supreme Court carefully fashioned laws to check corporate power in elections. At first, the restraints were loose, but over the years they tightened. There were de- bates and a few dissents, but the nation never hesi- tated in its direction—until 2010 when five justices of the Supreme Court decided to reverse course. This is the story of their decision. It begins in the nation’s youth.
CONGRESS PROTECTS
ELECTIONS
In the American philosophy of self-government, free elections are an indispensable bulwark against tyranny. The founders believed all citizens should have the right to vote, that their votes should count equally, and that a majority should prevail. The rules in the Constitution bound the young nation to these ideals. The Founding Fathers also believed that if citizens were to vote wisely, they needed full, open debate on candidates and issues. The central purpose of the First Amendment, which directs that “Congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of speech,” is to protect this debate.
In the early years of the republic the practice largely accorded with the ideal. The first challenge came right after the Civil War when violence and intimidation kept freed slaves from the polls. Con- gress passed two Enforcement Acts in 1870 and 1871 to protect the freed slaves’ right to vote and these were the first election laws. The Supreme Court eventually upheld “the [constitutional] power of [C]ongress to make such provisions as are necessary to secure the fair and honest conduct of an election.”1
A second challenge to “fair and honest conduct” in elections arose when industrial growth created pools of great wealth. By the 1870s railroads were already spending heavily for political favors. In 1873 Jay Gould, owner of the Erie Railroad, explained his businesslike approach to elections.
It was the custom when men received nominations to come to me for contributions, and I made them and considered them good paying dividends for the company; in a republican district I was a strong re- publican, in a democratic district I was democratic, and in doubtful districts I was doubtful; in politics
I was an Erie railroad man every time.2
As time passed, the amounts of business money in elections grew. So did public perception of corrup- tion, real and imagined. Standard Oil is reported to have given a check for $250,000 (about $6.4 million in current dollars) to reelect McKinley in 1900. In 1905 an investigation of New York insurance companies inflamed the nation. It revealed they had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars electing state and national politicians. A prominent Republican boss, when asked if these contributions bought favors, re- plied: “That’s naturally what would be involved.”3 The investigation also revealed a $50,000 ($1.2 mil- lion in today’s dollars) donation from New York Life to President Theodore Roosevelt in 1904. Roosevelt, who had s.
Interests Groups Piques0
Interest groups play a key role in influencing all branches of government, not just the legislative branch. They have successfully pushed for policy changes through different branches at different times, such as civil rights groups pushing for desegregation through executive orders and Supreme Court rulings. Interest groups employ various tactics to influence policymakers, including litigation, grassroots lobbying, campaign contributions, and providing expertise and information to politicians.
Essay On Campaign Finance
Campaign finance reform aims to regulate political spending and funding sources. Current regulations include contribution limits, disclosure requirements, and public financing options. However, recent Supreme Court rulings have loosened some restrictions by allowing unlimited independent expenditures and treating corporations similarly to people in terms of political spending. Critics argue this disproportionately benefits wealthy interests and undermines democracy, while supporters see it as protecting free speech. The impact of money in politics continues to be widely debated.
Chapter 19 blog notes
The document summarizes political and social reforms during the Progressive Era in the United States from the late 19th century through the early 20th century. It discusses efforts to reduce political corruption through civil service reform and antitrust laws. It also covers women's suffrage, the temperance movement, and struggles for justice for African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, and religious minorities. Key reformers and their efforts to enact change are outlined.

Christian persecution in Islamic countries has intensified, with alarming incidents of violence, discrimination, and intolerance. This article highlights recent attacks in Nigeria, Pakistan, Egypt, Iran, and Iraq, exposing the multifaceted challenges faced by Christian communities. Despite the severity of these atrocities, the Western world's response remains muted due to political, economic, and social considerations. The urgent need for international intervention is underscored, emphasizing that without substantial support, the future of Christianity in these regions is at grave risk.
