  • Sum up "Rove Super PAC"?

    Idk how to word a sum of the following concept pls try easy 10

    At least 25 “super PACS,” including one linked to Karl Rove, are fueling a surge in money for this year’s elections following the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that struck down limits on corporate campaign spending.

    These political action committees can take unlimited company, union and individual donations and explicitly urge voters to support or oppose candidates, unlike ordinary PACs and nonprofit groups. Like other PACs, they must register with the Federal Election Commission and disclose donors.

    “They can say whatever they want politically in the advertising,” said Michael Toner, a former FEC chairman who’s among the lawyers dubbing them super PACs. “It’s very liberating.”

    American Crossroads, a group advised by Rove, a top adviser to former President George W. Bush, said it has raised more than $17 million. That includes $1 million from Dixie Rice Agricultural Corp., a company led by Harold Simmons, also the chairman of Dallas-based Titanium Metals Corp. A trust controlled by Jerrold Perenchio, former chairman of New York- based Univision Communications Inc., also gave $1 million.

    That may be just the beginning. American Crossroads also has an issue-advocacy group that doesn’t have to disclose donors, and it won’t say how much of the $52 million it plans to raise in this campaign will go toward that effort. Other groups aren’t even registering as PACs and will be able to spend millions on ads without disclosing their contributors as long as they steer clear of expressly advocating for or against a candidate.

    ‘Flood’ of Ads

    Americans are “seeing a flood of attack ads run by shadowy groups with harmless-sounding names,” President Barack Obama, whose Democratic Party is vulnerable to losses in the midterm balloting, said in his Aug. 21 weekly address. “We don’t know who’s behind these ads and we don’t know who’s paying for them.”

    The new super PACs emerge as spending is already surpassing past midterm elections. As of late last month, outside groups and the political parties had spent $150 million on ads, up $41 million from the same period in 2006, said Evan Tracey at Kantar Media’s Campaign Media Analysis Group in Arlington, Virginia.

    The Supreme Court in January ruled against prohibitions on corporate campaign spending, allowing companies to use their treasuries to support or oppose candidates. The FEC sanctioned the new PACs on July 22, saying that because of the court decision, “there is no basis to impose contribution limits” on committees that spend money independently of candidates. Most won’t have to disclose contributors until mid-October.

    ‘Major Increase’

    Toner, who now heads the election law practice at Bryan Cave LLP in Washington, said he wouldn’t be surprised if the new PACs alone spend $50 million or more during this campaign. “As we get into the primetime season, we’re going to see a major increase in the number of these super PACs,” he said.

    Of the 25 super PACS, at least nine lean Republican and 10 Democratic. There may also be dozens more that haven’t formally outlined their plans to the FEC, said Mary Brandenberger, an agency spokeswoman.

    The super PACs include new units of established groups such as the Club for Growth, which supports lower taxes and favors Republicans, and the League of Conservation Voters, which primarily backs Democrats.

    American Crossroads

    American Crossroads may be the biggest. Rove and former Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie serve as fundraisers and informal advisers for the group, headed by former Republican chairman Mike Duncan.

    American Crossroads spent $454,342 last month to support Republican Rob Portman’s Ohio Senate bid. Its nonprofit arm released new ads on Sept. 2 as part of a $3 million buy targeting four Democrats: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, Senator Michael Bennet of Colorado and Senate nominees Jack Conway in Kentucky and Robin Carnahan in Missouri.

    Rove didn’t respond to requests for comment.

    “You’ll see more money spent on the Republican side,” said Larry Noble, a former FEC general counsel and a lawyer with Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP in Washington.

    Some super PACs are being started by groups that ran 527 organizations, which can take unlimited donations yet can’t explicitly say “vote for” or “vote against” a candidate.

    527 Group

    Those 527 groups, named after the section of the tax code that governs them, also included Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, which went after Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry in 2004.

    Swift Boat Veterans, League of Conservation Voters, Club for Growth and eight other groups later ran into trouble with the FEC for backing candidates, drawing more than $3 million in fines.

    Spending by federal 527s declined to $244 million in 2008 from $439 million in 2004, according to the Washington-based Center for Responsive Politics.

  • Proofread paragraphy please easy 10?!?

    In the book, The Outsiders, Johnny is unquestionably a hero as he portrays traits such as bravery, loyalty, and overall strength. Johnny grows up in a stressful house full of cruelty and violence, yet he goes through life without spite or complaint. Johnny is loyal to the Greasers and is by Ponyboy’s side whenever he needs him. When Ponyboy is upset and decides he wants to run away, Johnny doesn’t question it and strides away with him. Not only does he have a heroic character, but Johnny also has a noble drive. He demonstrates his bravery when he risks his life rushing into the burning church with no hesitance. There is no question in his mind that it’s simply the right thing to do to rescue those children. Even after being badly injured, Johnny is content with his decision and glad those kids got to live, rather himself. When Johnny dies the entire gang is affected. The tragedy of his passing leads Dallas to suicide and the rest to tears. Johnny is an all around good person deserving of the title, “Hero.”

  • Issue paper idea help?? Cant choose between the two.?

    Ok so for my issue paper i dont know what topic to do. I had to find an article on current issues please tell me which you think would be best.

    Heres what i have:

    One article was on the increase in cost of living. For that my suggestions for improvement were:

    1. Lessen imports from other countries thus taking away from transportation costs & gas ussage, and it also takes away from the rising debt were in from them

    2. This allows us to create that many more jobs here in florida & all of the us. The slight increase of probably only pennies in produxt prices allowing these american citizens work is still a great benefit.

    3. Finally, the most basic thing we all must do is seriously cut back on gas ussage & ride busses/bikes/carpool. This is so beneficiary because not only does it save the enviorment & money, by using less gas, we cut back on consumption so the less usage will lower prices & conserv our oil supplies.

    The other article was on teacher layoffs:

    1. For this the first thing to do would be to cut down on frivolous spending for extravagant electronics that are bairly even used anyway. We can manage with simple white boards (chalk boards) & dells instead of the thousands of dollar promethian boards & imacs that on the rare occasion they are used just create hastle. Anyway they're mostly used for simple internet or printings tasks that are totally fine on simpler computers.

    2. Next would be to hold some more school or even all county fundraisers. Just like the yearbook class sells chocolate but on a wider scale. Different schools can host a different event weekly. There could be anything from a movie/game night to band/drama preformances & maby even a small local carnival in which all profita would be shared between the schools so they can pay additional teachers.

    3. Lastly, we should just make our voices heard. Schools could advertise for any stundent parent or teacher affected by the teacher cuts to share their oppinions & experiences resulting from them. I know that if students knew it was possible to get teachers for more classes & electives they would surely try to help. I for instance was looking forward to at least a technology course to learn some cool & helpful things but that option was restricted from me. The board & government has been reliable for education needs before & Obama is actually curently raising funds to stop teacher cuts. If either hear of all the ways it really has affected us, they might just submit some neccesary funds.

    Im just suppost to explain the issue in 2-3 paragraphs like who/what/where its affecting then my 3 suggestions to help. Obviously i have to do some research for whichever i choose but which concept is best?
