00-White privilage
Raven McCormick argues that white privilege no longer exists based on three reasons: the wage gap between races is less than 0.5%, examples of black privilege in college admissions and programs, and discrimination cases tend to favor black plaintiffs over white plaintiffs. McCormick reviewed statistics on wage coverage and dismissal rates of discrimination cases, and examples of how colleges meet racial quotas in admissions to receive federal funding. Based on this evidence, McCormick concludes that white privilege does not exist today and that black privilege could be said to exist instead.
Walker, Chapter 4
Police organizations typically have a quasi-military structure with uniforms, ranks, and a clear chain of command. This hierarchical and bureaucratic structure aims to coordinate activities but can also cultivate an "us vs. them" attitude. While bureaucracy provides control and standardization, it can stifle creativity and flexibility. In response, some departments have adopted community policing and COMPSTAT approaches to decentralize decision making and empower local commanders. Police unions also influence departments through collective bargaining.
Crime statistics
The document discusses several methods for measuring crime: police recorded crime statistics, victimization surveys, and self-reported offending surveys. It notes that police statistics can be unreliable because crimes may be misclassified or not recorded at all. Victimization surveys interview over 51,000 people annually and can find higher crime levels than police statistics, especially for sensitive crimes. However, all methods only provide information about crimes, not offenders. Self-reported surveys ask about illegal acts but respondents may lie, and only certain groups like students are surveyed, limiting representativeness.

Health Reform Bracketology Oct 25
This document analyzes potential outcomes of the 2010 Congressional elections and their impact on provisions of the Affordable Care Act. It summarizes polling data to project the likelihood that Republicans will take the House and Democrats will retain the Senate. It then identifies six key ACA provisions that may be disrupted under this scenario, estimates the likelihood of disruption for each, and potential ways provisions could be modified, stalled, or repealed. The provision most likely to see disruption is the individual mandate, with an 85% chance if Republicans control the House.
2008 paper ah
The document discusses limitations of using crime statistics for research purposes. It provides three detailed examples of limitations:
1) Crime statistics can be manipulated to suit political agendas and support certain policies. They do not present an objective view and can be massaged to portray certain trends.
2) Data for new or emerging crimes is unreliable due to underreporting, as seen with the increase in reported male rape cases after it was classified as a separate crime.
3) Official crime data is not always reliable as it only provides a snapshot and does not allow comparisons over time. Sources like the British Crime Survey are also limited by being based on self-reporting.
Cja 140 Enthusiastic Study / snaptutorial.com
As you read, many defendants in the criminal justice system are prosecuted in state courts, which means that for the most part prosecutors rely on state case law and statutes as guidelines for whether or not they should be charged. In this assignment, you will select a defendant who has been prosecuted in your state court. Describe, in 1 page, the case against the defendant and the crimes for which the defendant has been charged. Examine the punishment assigned to the offender. If the offender you chose was acquitted or has not yet reached the punishment stage, you will still be able to examine the punishments that were available.

The fourth branch your link to congress
The document describes a proposed website called The Fourth Branch that aims to give citizens a direct link to providing input on congressional bills. The website would allow users to read summaries of bills, vote on bills, and discuss bills with other users. When Congress votes, users would be notified how their representatives voted compared to themselves. Representatives and other groups could use the real-time voting data to understand public sentiment. The proposal seeks $100k in funding to market to college students and hire representatives to maintain relationships with professors to drive initial users to the website.

The document defines and provides details on various types of interest groups and lobbying activities in the United States. It explains concepts like political action committees (PACs), which can donate up to $5,000 to candidates; the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and NAACP, prominent civil rights groups; litigation and Supreme Court cases that shaped campaign finance and civil rights law; and different strategies used by interest groups like grassroots mobilization and lobbying directly to legislators.
Elections
Elections allow citizens a direct say in who leads through voting. While providing accountability, elections can also lead to instability if the victor lacks a clear majority. The US system incorporates mechanisms like the Electoral College to prevent pure direct democracy and reduce instability. Over time, constitutional amendments and laws have expanded voting rights and standardized election procedures, though turning out voters remains a challenge and money plays a large role in political campaigns.

Political action committees raise money to influence elections. Recent Supreme Court rulings have increased the role of money in politics. Interest groups engage in both insider lobbying of Congress as well as outsider efforts to shape public opinion. There is a debate around the representational inequalities and influence that interest groups, especially those with greater resources, may wield.
Elections and Campaigns
The document discusses various aspects of elections and campaigns in the United States, including:

Be a Better Business Watchdog -- CAR for Business Journalists
Be a Better Business Watchdog -- CAR for Business JournalistsReynolds Center for Business Journalism
Jaimi Dowdell presents "Data Journalism for Business Reporting" at the free business journalism workshop, "Be a Better Business Watchdog -- CAR for Business Journalists," hosted by the Donald W. Reynolds National Center for Business Journalists, The Seattle Times and the University of Washington. Social Security & The Future of the Democratic Party
The document summarizes polling data showing that Democrats have lost their advantage over Republicans on the issue of Social Security. Trust in Democrats to handle Social Security has declined significantly since the 1990s. Polls show that large bipartisan majorities oppose cutting Social Security benefits or raising the retirement age. However, voters support eliminating the payroll tax income cap. The document warns that if Democrats support Social Security cuts, Republicans may attack them on the issue as they did with Medicare in 2010.
Unit 2
The document discusses several topics related to political parties in the United States including what they are, their functions, the origins of the two-party system, different types of party systems, and aspects of how U.S. political parties operate such as nominating candidates, funding campaigns, and enforcing campaign finance laws.

Voter and Voter Turnout
Prepare: Prior to completing this discussion question, review Chapters 10, 11, and 12 in American Government and review Week Five Instructor Guidance. Also read the following articles: How Voter ID Laws Are Being Used to Disenfranchise Minorities and the Poor (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., Fraught with Fraud (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., and Proof at the Polls (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.
Reflect: The U.S. has one of the lowest voter turnout rates among modern democratic political systems. One study ranks the U.S. 120th on a list of 169 nations compared on voter turnout (Pintor, Gratschew, & Sullivan, 2002). During the last decade, many initiatives have been undertaken to increase voter participation, yet concerns about the possibility of election fraud have also increased. Additionally, some political interests feel threatened by the increase in turnout among some traditionally low-turnout ethnic minorities. Several states have recently passed legislation imposing new registration and identification requirements. This has sparked debate about whether these are tactics intended to suppress turnout or to prevent fraud. Think about the media’s role in the election process and how both mass media and social media can impact the election process.
Write: In your initial post, summarize recent developments in several states enacting voter ID laws. Analyze and describe the pros and cons on both sides of the debate about these laws. Is voter fraud a major problem for our democracy or are some groups trying to make it harder for some segments of society to vote? What impact has the media (mass and social) had in influencing public opinion regarding voter ID laws? Draw your own conclusion about the debate over voter ID laws and justify your conclusions with facts and persuasive reasoning. Fully respond to all parts of the prompt and write your response in your own words. Your initial post must be at least 300 words. Support your position with at least two of the assigned resources required for this discussion, and/or peer reviewed scholarly sources obtained through the AU Library databases. Include APA in-text citations (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. in the body of your post and full citations on the references list (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. at the end. Support your position with APA citations from two or more of the assigned resources required for this discussion. Please be sure that you demonstrate understanding of these resources, integrate them into your argument, and cite them properly.

- 1. Transparency = Accountability FollowTheMoney.org
- 2. Disclosure Agencies Transparency Advocates The Public The Institute Unites Three Essential Components
- 4. We search 100,000 + reports submitted by 16,000 + candidates to compile 3 million + records that total 3 Billion +
- 5. We provide the facts. You draw the conclusions.
- 6. my FollowTheMoney Create your private account
- 7. Download selected data in delimited text … like this!
- 8. Stream the data you want from our site directly to yours APIs & Widgets
- 9. Picture what data can tell you
- 15. Institute Research Reports We draw attention to patterns, anomalies, and newsmakers Search for reports by subject
- 16. Journalists rely on our data msn.com CNN MSNBC PBS ProPublica Huffington Post ABC News Radio National Public Radio Stateline.org Fortune New York Times Wall Street Journal Boston Globe National Law Journal Los Angeles Times Chicago Tribune American Spectator Washington Post
- 19. Who believes in our work? The California Endowment Carnegie Corporation of New York The Energy Foundation Ford Foundation John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Fdtn. Open Society Institute The Pew Charitable Trusts Public Welfare Foundation Rockefeller Brothers Fund Sunlight Foundation
Editor's Notes
- FollowTheMoney.org unites all three as it works with disclosure agencies to reduce barriers to public information, transparency advocates who are being innovative with our open-source data, and the public which has free access via the web site, APIs and widgets to our comprehensive, highly credentialed state-level political donor information.
- The Institute is the only nonpartisan, nonprofit organization revealing the influence of campaign money on state-level elections and public policy in all 50 states.
- Candidates running for public office in all 50 states are required by law to file campaign reports. Every state has different laws, reporting thresholds, and deadlines. We compile this public information into a single, searchable, standardized database available, for free, at FollowTheMoney.org.
- myFollowTheMoney provides you the deepest access to our database of state-level political contributions. Use your account to download contribution data for any specific candidate, committee or state.
- Stream data from our site to yours -- it's free and it's easy. API simply stands for Application Program Interface, which is a mouthful of terms that basically boils down to another way of accessing a database within your programs or Web sites. The difference is that this database is not stored on your servers or computers, but comes to you from across the internet and is maintained by us. We give you access to our campaign-finance database, which we update on a regular basis. A widget simply means an element of your Web page. It can be as simple as an image or a button. We have provided you with several basic widgets on our Web site that you can simply cut and paste into your own Web site. From there, they are automatically updated from our site.
- Here, again, we use Ohio as an example. This 2011 committee list shows who serves on the committee that would address proposed legislation to regulate payday lenders. We filtered the results to see contributions form the Finance, Insurance & Real Estate business sector. You can click on each name to see who contributed to that committee member and learn whether they have ties to the payday lending industry. The committee lists are compiled by Project Vote Smart and updated simultaneously on our site. If you need a committee list that’s not on our site, go directly to that state’s legislative Web site.
- Brennan Center for Justice cited Institute data in their brief for Caperton v. A.T. Massey Coal—on June 8, 2009 the Supreme Court ruled that it was unconstitutional for a state supreme court justice to sit on a case involving the financial interests of a major donor to the judge’s election campaign. In the second case, Justice Souter cited the Institute’s report, “The New Politics of Judicial Elections, 2006,” as well “State Elections Overview 2004” as evidence for his dissenting opinion in the 2007 U.S. Supreme Court landmark decision on Federal Election Commission v. Wisconsin Right To Life. Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission was heard by the U.S. Supreme Court in autumn of 2009. The Institute co-signed an amicus curiae brief for this case; Campaign Legal Center and Justice at Stake relied on Institute data in preparing their briefs to the Court. Citizens United v Federal Election Commission
