Topic: Citizen and Republican Movement


  
  US Labor Movement
In the republican vision, the nation would be comprised of independent citizens united by their commitment toward preserving liberty for all.
The new labor historians found the republican critique of capitalism everywhere in the nineteenth century: in the workingmen's movements of the antebellum years, in the labor and populist agitation of the 1880s and 1890s, and even in the American Federation of Labor and the Socialist Party of the early twentieth century.
Labor republicanism could and did sustain collective visions of escape from wage labor, visions in which workers were imagined to be pooling their resources to free themselves from their employers and establish cooperatively owned and operated industries.

 Citizen Soldiers | A History of National Service

 Movement Conservatism - SourceWatch
Movement Conservatism is a self-serving and socially malevolent cabal of mega-corporations, right-wing think tanks in Washington, their archconservative foundation benefactors, and an intricate nationwide network of linkages in the communications media, religion, higher education, and law.
Nuanced thinking is not a trademark of Movement Conservatism, however, and the need to apply the ideology was seen to be acute in the 1960's and '70's.
The American Enterprise Institute, the Cato Institute, the Manhattan Institute, Citizens for a Sound Economy, the National Association of Scholars, Accuracy in Academe, the Media Research Center, and Accuracy in Media are prominent on the national level.

I am a Republican blogger who has come not to gloat but offer some hope to the disgruntled Democrats still reeling from the election and looking to Canada, of all places, for sanity and salvation.
There is a real fear among Republicans that Bush will overplay his hand and show his true "libertarian" colors, something that would be met with horror and disdain by the conservatives.

Despite these limitations, the votes catalogued here reflect the concerns of a broad-based citizens’ movement fighting for government and corporate accountability, and offer a useful gauge of a member’s commitment to the public interest.
Except for "paired" absences, where two members on each side of an issue agree in advance not to vote, and cases where members vote "present" to avoid conflicts of interest, we count absences against the member because an empty chair cannot cast a vote in favor of consumer justice.

Speaking to the Siskiyou Republican Women Federated meeting at the Mount Shasta Golf Resort on June 6, Swanson exposed what she believes is a communistic and socialistic political agenda disguised as an environmental movement.

 The Legal Theories of the Sovereign Citizen Movement
Sovereign Citizens claim an inalienable right to travel; that is, the right to travel over public roads without the necessity need to register their cars, display license plates, obtain driver's licenses, or conform to traffic laws.

Countless Republican officials including George Pataki, Rudy Gulliani, Marc Racicot and Christie Whitman were paraded on television to show the strong support of the establishment for Bush.
If the Republicans take control of both houses, this will be a referendum that our government has not gone far enough towards the right and it will give Bush a virtual blank check to reward the extreme right 10% as quickly and as extensively as possible.

If only 10 percent of Republican voters nationwide were absolutely unwilling to support a candidate with a poor environmental or conservation record, it would have an enormous influence on the party, its elected office holders, and the nation’s environmental polices.
Beyond having a committed and energized membership base, the next step to fomenting a movement is for REP to be able to identify and communicate with large numbers of green Republican voters.

 Rise of the Religious Right in the Republican Party
Twenty-five years ago dominionists targeted the Republican Party as the vehicle through which they could advance their agenda.
The country is not yet a theocracy but the Republican Party is, and they are driving American politics, using God as a a battering ram on almost every issue: crime and punishment, foreign policy, health care, taxation, energy, regulation, social services and so on.

 JoeCitizen.org: Media Calls Another Election
As a more general charge, Republicans have already attacked Kerry for protesting against the Viet Nam war while it was still ongoing, an action they say amounted to Kerry’s abandonment of his fellow servicemen, if not being tantamount to treason.
The problem here is not so much Kerry’s or Bush’s respective backgrounds, but that is already clear that Republican’s will focus their campaign on Bush’s performance in the “war on terror”, an issue where Republicans already have the majority of the public’s trust.
Kerry is not the ideal candidate because he falls into the mold that makes Democrats and Republicans seem alike; he is the benefactor of special interest money; and he will fail to find devotion from the left while he makes an easy target for attacks from the right.

 Mass Resistance & Reformist Treachery: The ‘Anti-CPE’ Movement in France
On 18 February representatives from student AGs from 30 universities, meeting in Rennes to “coordinate” the anti-CPE movement, called for student strikes and “blockages.” This was the first of several national “coordinations,” which at points began to operate as a parallel organizing body to the official students’ unions.
As the “anti-CPE” movement spread from the big cities and their suburbs into small towns and remote areas, it slowly dawned on the French ruling class that the situation was potentially serious.
The “anti-CPE” movement presented revolutionaries with the opportunity to pose practical solutions to the immediate problems of vital concern to the mass of youth and working people, while also linking their struggles to the necessity of a socialist revolution.
