		Fundamentally, fusion is the peculiar American form of proportional representation in that it allows political minorities -- understood arithmetically -- to show their strength and to make coalitions with other parties.
		Fusion is key to having a comprehensive slate and not just one or two charismatic candidates at the top of the ballot.
		Fusion allows you to maintain a presence in a district consistently, every year, whether you have a candidate or not, and develop people's habit of voting on your line.

	Hodges: Igniting the Fuse: Opening Up Third Party Politics
		Fusion means nominating the same candidate for office by both a major and one or more minor parties.
		Fusion advocates say that it is a vital tactic for third parties--to nominate a major party candidate and have that person on the minor party's ballot line can show electoral strength to the major party.
		Fusion would specify where a candidate stands in a time when there is more difference within the two major parties than between them.

	LP News Jun97 - U.S. Supreme Court rules against fusion
		This interest does not permit a state to completely insulate the two party system from minor parties' or independent candidates' competition and influence, nor is it a paternalistic license for states to protect political parties from the consequences of their own internal disagreements.
		Minnesota had not defended its law by discussing the "two party system." No evidence was presented to the lower court about the "two party system," and the U.S. District Court decision -- which upheld the ban on fusion -- did not mention the term.
		It was precisely the "factionalism" of 1912 (ex-Republican Theodore Roosevelt bolting that party and forming the Progressive Party) that gave the Democrats a chance to win the White House.

	S/R 13: Independent Political Action, Not Fusion
		Unfortunately, although several articles presented a fusion perspective, no one articulated the position of those who believe in the necessity of an electoral alliance, but who are also convinced that such an alliance needs to start from a position of total independence from the two party system.
		While fusion could conceivably occur when two third parties support the same nominee, the term commonly refers to a situation in which a third party endorses the candidate of one of the establishment parties.
		The Populists thereafter disintegrated as a cohesive party.

	LP News Feb97 - Uncovered: Fusion case reveals high-court bias against third parties
		Souter stated that Slowes' answers seem reasonable, and that he might be inclined to agree, except that history shows that fusion was banned in most states during the decade after 1896 to squelch the Peoples Party, not because of any worries about voter confusion or bogus parties.
		Breyer, who is from Connecticut, another state that permits fusion, made a long statement that fusion bans injure minor parties, but said that it may be legitimate for a state to write its election laws to injure minor parties.
		Scalia demanded to know, "What about the right not to participate in fusion," ignoring the fact that plaintiffs argue only that fusion must be permitted when the candidate and both political parties involved wish it to occur.

	Fusion Voting New Majority Education Fund (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Fusion, once legal in all states and commonly practiced throughout the country, occurs when a third or minor party combines forces with a dominant party or other smaller parties to run a single candidate on multiple party lines.
		Fusion also allows minor parties to demonstrate in clear, measurable terms, the level of support they provide to a candidate, thus giving them greater influence with candidates, elected officials and major political parties in policy and legislative matters.
		Also, minor parties that use their ballot line to endorse the candidate of another party are powerfully motivated to educate, persuade and turn-out voters.

	S/R 12: Is Fusion a Route for Green Parties?
		Fusion continues to be a natural topic of discussion among what may appear to some to be an unnecessary factionalization of our local progressive political community.
		Qualifying for minor and major party status is now more difficult; there is no separate tally for individual parties listed on the ballot for a single candidate; and cross-nomination requires the approval of both the candidate and the state chairs of the participating parties.
		The Gordon campaign benefited from the influx of activist energy that the New Party brought; they sent the DFL a message that they were willing to put their support behind a third party challenger; and there was a significant increase in community and trust between Green Party and New Party members.

		The Supreme Court stated in cold language: "We are unpersuaded by the party's contention that it has a right to use the ballot itself to send a particularized message to its candidate and to the voters about the nature of its support for the candidate.
		Candidates are therefore accountable to the party's membership, something lost in contemporary politics where most candidates with enough money (Jon Corzine in New Jersey) or name recognition (Hillary Clinton) zoom past the weak remnants of America's political parties.
		With the commitment of ACORN in mind, the party couples a renewal of activist government with the sort of participatory democracy that inspires contemporary community organizing (as it did the New Left).

	Fusion Multiple Party Nomination in the United States (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Fusion, or multiple party nomination, is an electoral strategy by which two or more political parties coalesce around a single candidate by nominating that candidate for the same office in the same election.
		Since minor parties are generally unable to win elections on their own, they suffer from a “wasted-vote syndrome.” That is, many who support the minor party’s ideology and program decline to demonstrate that support at the polls, since they are reluctant to “waste” votes on candidates with no serious chance of winning.
		State law bans on fusion date from the 1890s, and were part of an extensive recasting of American electoral politics associated with that period, which included the “Jim Crow” system in the South, and accelerated after the realigning election of 1896 in which the Republican Party took control of state legislatures throughout the country.

	Welcome to The DanceBuddies Online
		Because of the extensive use of Cross Fusion and Crossover music in dance communities, like that of West Coast Swing, a song that is played and that may even be a popular hit amongst the dancers, might also enjoy that same status in other dance worlds; both Swing based and non-Swing based.
		Cross Fusion Music is usually music that has combined multiple rhythms or hybrid rhythm characteristics (fusion) or a structural flavor (crossover) that can accommodate several different dance forms.
		Cross Fusion dances, are dance forms created out of the consistent combining of a significant amount of movement and/or style of two or more dance forms to the point that you literally create a hybrid that qualifies as a new dance.

		So perhaps, with galleries hosting parties and clubs hosting art, it was only a matter of time before someone thought up the peripatetic art-fusion party.
		Gen Art is the veritable Wolfgang Puck of art parties: the first to come up with the recipe, the promoters have turned their inspiration into a national organization, with a professional staff, an extensive fan base, and an array of multifaceted art events.
		Their parties attract precisely the demographic — young, smart, hip, in possession of some disposable income, or at least in the habit of acting like it — that makes ad agencies drool.

	Off the Kuff: Fusion
		In New York, the only state where fusion is both legal and commonplace, Kerry and Kerry's slate will appear on both the Democratic Party line and the line of the Working Families Party, a party formed with union and community organization support that is considerably more liberal and creative than the Democratic establishment.
		The Liberal Party's last stand was the election and re-election of Mayor Rudolph Giuliani (yes, you are reading that correctly), where party boss Ray Harding put Giuliani on that party's line as a boost to his candidacy.
		The party failed to get 50,000 votes in the last election, therefore, it is off the ballot for this year.

		Many third parties throughout U.S. history have achieved regional success and some (notably the Prohibition Party and the Socialist Party) have had major portions of their platforms incorporated into the "major parties" platforms.
		While only the Republican Party has gone on to become a dominant player in American political life, the overall political platforms of several third parties have taken root in the American political landscape.
		Each of these parties had ballot status for its presidential candidate in states with enough electoral votes to have had a theoretical chance of winning in the 2000 presidential election.

		A home for voters: A party is valuable because it allows regular voters who never want to come to meetings to show their allegiance.

	Australia's Prime Ministers - Meet a PM - Cook - Before (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Like Reid, Cook saw the Labor Party as sectional and socialist, was equally critical of the Protectionist governments of Edmund Barton and Alfred Deakin, and was sceptical of the cooperation between Deakin and Labor leader JC Watson which led to Watson becoming Prime Minister in April 1904.
		Cook was, however, elected deputy leader of the Free Trade Party the next year, with Reid commenting to Patrick McMahon Glynn that Cook’s only qualifications were ‘leisure to attend and eagerness to attack’.
		Cook was a key figure in establishing the organisational structure of the party and in shaping its ‘anti-socialist’ policies in opposing the Labor Party.

		As the Democratic Party embraces Ned Lamont, it must also embrace his antiwar message: It proved a winning strategy for Connecticut, and will be for the midterm elections.
		Democrats must transcend all their intraparty squabbles over the war in Iraq and focus on the obligation of politicians to be honest with the public.

		Theory holds that nuclear fusion can only occur at extremely high temperature and pressure, which is why controlled fusion in a laboratory setting has been so difficult to achieve.

		In Nov-2002 the magazine Infinite Energy has published a paper of mine entitled “What is Missing in Les Case’s Catalytic Fusion”, in which some suggestions were proposed for increasing the speed of cold fusion reactions (the paper is exhibited in the page 186 of the book).
