This book was released on 2018-05-17 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tired of the emotional whirlwinds surrounding political campaigns? Weary of wading through mudslinging ads? In an effort to encourage citizens to bypass the ugly drama so prevalent in most political campaigns, the author offers her insights on how to uncover little noticed facts on candidates. It takes some digging, yet the cost is mostly in your time spent. The process is simple and just about anybody can do this. The results of such research can bring clarity in the midst of seemingly chaotic and juvenile hype of political campaigns. Elections should be about qualifications for candidates, not popularity contests. Political campaigns should not be the equivalent of choosing the high school prom king or queen. It is a privilege to elect our own leaders, but we can only elect good leaders if we take the time to find out who they are. Otherwise, our choices are merely gambles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why am I writing a book like this? It's not what I usually write about. Honestly, I found that over the period of many elections during my life, there were many things I was unsure about. Interestingly many people I have spoken to feel the same way. Voting is indeed a fundamental right and an integral part of democracy as it allows citizens to express their views and choose leaders who they believe will work towards improving society. However, there are several challenges that citizens face while voting, such as educating themselves about the candidates and their policies, the complexity of the election process itself, and the prevalence of misinformation and fake news. Despite these challenges, it is essential for citizens to educate themselves and participate in the democratic process. Educating oneself about the election process, including the different voting methods, voter registration, and voter suppression, is crucial to making informed voting decisions. This unique guide aims to unravel the intricacies of American voting, a cornerstone of our democratic process. Throughout my life, I've noticed many, including myself, grappling with understanding elections in the U.S. This book emerges as an answer, shedding light on critical topics like understanding candidates, their policies, and navigating the often complex electoral process while tackling misinformation and fake news. Understanding the history and current laws of voting, like the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the 26th Amendment, are essential elements for an informed citizen. Although not exhaustive, this book provides an insightful overview of these topics, making it easier for voters to navigate what can sometimes feel like a dystopian political landscape. The road to effective voting begins with educating oneself and actively participating in the democratic process. By doing so, we can contribute meaningfully to the future of the United States, making informed decisions that shape the country we love. Optimized for visibility and conversion, this book empowers every American citizen to participate more effectively in their democracy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America may be the most election-crazed nation in the world, boasting roughly 500,000 elected positions nationwide. Not only do we rely heavily on elections to fill government positions, but the frequency of these events far outpaces what is found in other nations. Americans use elections not only to select candidates, but to directly change government policy as well. Referendums and ballot initiatives allow average citizens to vote on policy matters, essentially sidestepping the legislative process. Campaign Rules provides political activists, researchers, and all citizens an easy-to-use reference tool to help sort out the dizzying breadth of state-based electoral rules. Numerous volumes offer information on federal elections, but Campaign Rules is the first to provide detailed information for each state, including: _

Download or read book We Need More Parties written by Lee Drutman and published by Haymarket Books. This book was released on 2024-10-01 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American democracy is broken, but partisanship alone is not to blame. Political scientist Lee Drutman places our two-party system instead at the center of the American democratic crisis. Of course, partisan conflict plays a role, forcing voters to choose between a party that they might dislike and another that is far worse. But the two party system creates this corrosive dynamic. And the results of this system are dire: more partisan division, low political legitimacy, and high citizen disaffection. This is how democracies crumble. The way to save democracy, Drutman argues, is to create more and better political parties through electoral reform and fusion voting. We Need More Parties features responses to Drutman from Working Families Party national director Maurice Mitchell, political scientists Daniel Schlozman & Sam Rosenfeld, political theorist and former candidate for Massachusetts governor Danielle Allen, and others. The issue also includes essays on American democracy and the question of political legitimacy: Project 2025 and abuses of executive power, the anointing of J. D. Vance and the liberal embrace of "reasonable conservatives”, the politics of grief in rural America, and more. Contributors: Tabatha Abu El-Haj, Danielle Allen, Deepak Bhargava, Elizabeth Catte, Kevin Donovan, Lee Drutman, James Goodwin, Arianna Jiménez, Josh Lerner, Cerin Lindgrensavage, Bob Master, Maurice Mitchell, Joel Rogers, Sam Rosenfeld, Daniel Schlozman, Doran Schrantz, Ian Shapiro, Honora Spicer, Sunaura Taylor, Grant Tudor, Rebecca Tuhus-Dubrow, and David Walsh
