This book was released on 1978 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American Presidency has suffered a decline in public esteem since the middle of the Sixties, since Vietnam and the anti-authoritarean movement. The speeches of the 1976 Campaign reflect the duality of newness and tradition that has always been inherent to American society. The speeches selected here reveal the structural pattern of the Presidential campaign with its attendant differences in rhetorical and political strategy. They also reveal the range of political philosophies from radical liberalism to reactionary separatism. The speeches should not primarily be looked at from the point of view of materialization of political programs, the major and more lasting interest should rest with textual analysis, with the view to verbalisation and rhetoric packaging of political messages.
Download or read book A Shared Vision written by Jane H. Gilroy and published by . This book was released on 2010-07 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ellen McCormack, nominated for President at the 1976 Democratic National Convention, became the first--and to date the only woman--to be awarded matching federal funds in any presidential primary campaign. Through the untiring efforts of dedicated volunteers from across the country, McCormack's television commercials brought the pro-life message to more than 190 million viewers. Her radio advertisements, news coverage, and stirring speeches reached countless others. "A Shared Vision" chronicles the adventures of this pioneering political effort by the newly emerging Pro-Life Movement, a legacy that resonates to this very day! Strikingly, while Ellen McCormack's accomplishments demand recognition, those who usually proclaim groundbreaking feminist achievements have largely overlooked her significant contribution. Consequently, too few know that over 200,000 people voted for Ellen McCormack and were successful in getting her name placed on the ballot in over twenty states. Come along with us as Jane Gilroy, Ph.D., retraces the leading role Ellen McCormack held in early pro-life political and media efforts. As vice-chairman of McCormack's campaign committee, Jane Gilroy shares an insider's perspective on this unique enterprise that fostered an increased respect for all human life. She meticulously documents this historic account with references to primary source materials, including legal contracts, committee reports, letters, and archived newspaper articles. Prof. Gilroy concludes by emphasizing the importance of employing politics and the media to ensure the protection of all. Moreover, she challenges those who believe in the intrinsic value of all human life to participate fully in such endeavors.

Download or read book An Archive of Hope written by Harvey Milk and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2013-02-15 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harvey Milk was one of the first openly and politically gay public officials in the United States, and his remarkable activism put him at the very heart of a pivotal civil rights movement reshaping America in the 1970s. An Archive of Hope is Milk in his own words, bringing together in one volume a substantial collection of his speeches, columns, editorials, political campaign materials, open letters, and press releases, culled from public archives, newspapers, and personal collections. The volume opens with a foreword from Milk’s friend, political advisor, and speech writer Frank Robinson, who remembers the man who “started as a Goldwater Republican and ended his life as the last of the store front politicians” who aimed to “give ‘em hope” in his speeches. An illuminating introduction traces GLBTQ politics in San Francisco, situates Milk within that context, and elaborates the significance of his discourse and memories both to 1970s-era gay rights efforts and contemporary GLBTQ worldmaking.
Download or read book Reagan s Revolution written by Craig Shirley and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2010-02-22 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's political scene looks nothing like it did thirty years ago, and that is due mostly to Reagan's monumental reshaping of the Republican party. What few people realize, however, is that Reagan's revolution did not begin when he took office in 1980, but in his failed presidential challenge to Gerald Ford in 1975-1976. This is the remarkable story of that historic campaign-one that, as Reagan put it, turned a party of "pale pastels" into a national party of "bold colors." Featuring interviews with a myriad of politicos, journalists, insiders, and observers, Craig Shirley relays intriguing, never-before-told anecdotes about Reagan, his staff, the campaign, the media, and the national parties and shows how Reagan, instead of following the lead of the ever-weakening Republican party, brought the party to him and almost single-handedly revived it.
Download or read book Notable Speeches in Contemporary Presidential Campaigns written by Robert V. Friedenberg and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2002-03-30 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though many studies of contemporary campaigns focus on brief political advertisements and the growing impact of technology on contemporary campaigns, the definitive statements of most candidates are still made in public addresses. Friedenberg examines the first public address made by an American presidential candidate on his own behalf. The circumstances giving rise to William Henry Harrison's 1840 address, and the themes that he developed in that address are strikingly contemporary, serving as an appropriate prelude to the examinations of contemporary political speaking that follow. Those examinations focus on notable campaign speeches by John F. Kennedy, Barry Goldwater, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Bill and Hillary Clinton, and George W. Bush. Each study examines a key event that foreshadowed the speech studied. Each study presents a rhetorical biography of the speaker including a discussion of the speechwriting team and preparation techniques utilized by the speaker. Each study presents a thorough study of the campaign context in which the speeches were presented. Each also presents a close reading and rhetorical analysis of the speech itself and observations on the impact of the speech. Cumulatively, Friedenberg's studies help to illustrate how, even in today's high-tech political environment of 30-second ads and candidate Web sites, public speeches continue to play a crucial role in political campaigning. Of particular interest to scholars and students involved with political communication and political American campaigning.

Download or read book Reaganland written by Rick Perlstein and published by Simon & Schuster. This book was released on 2020-08-18 with total page 1120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF 2020 From the bestselling author of Nixonland and The Invisible Bridge comes the dramatic conclusion of how conservatism took control of American political power. Over two decades, Rick Perlstein has published three definitive works about the emerging dominance of conservatism in modern American politics. With the saga’s final installment, he has delivered yet another stunning literary and historical achievement. In late 1976, Ronald Reagan was dismissed as a man without a political future: defeated in his nomination bid against a sitting president of his own party, blamed for President Gerald Ford’s defeat, too old to make another run. His comeback was fueled by an extraordinary confluence: fundamentalist preachers and former segregationists reinventing themselves as militant crusaders against gay rights and feminism; business executives uniting against regulation in an era of economic decline; a cadre of secretive “New Right” organizers deploying state-of-the-art technology, bending political norms to the breaking point—and Reagan’s own unbending optimism, his ability to convey unshakable confidence in America as the world’s “shining city on a hill.” Meanwhile, a civil war broke out in the Democratic party. When President Jimmy Carter called Americans to a new ethic of austerity, Senator Ted Kennedy reacted with horror, challenging him for reelection. Carter’s Oval Office tenure was further imperiled by the Iranian hostage crisis, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, near-catastrophe at a Pennsylvania nuclear plant, aviation accidents, serial killers on the loose, and endless gas lines. Backed by a reenergized conservative Republican base, Reagan ran on the campaign slogan “Make America Great Again”—and prevailed. Reaganland is the story of how that happened, tracing conservatives’ cutthroat strategies to gain power and explaining why they endure four decades later.
