	How Representative is Congress?
		Political office in the Philippines has always been hierarchical: Aspiring politicians went up the political ladder from local to national office, from the House to the Senate, and from the Senate to the presidency.
		Political families have the edge, because they can mobilize local patronage and political networks for their electoral forays.
		The most enduring political families are the best evidence of this: The Aquinos and Cojuangcos of Tarlac, the Osmeñas of Cebu, the Romualdezes of Leyte, and the Marcoses of Ilocos Norte, among others, have been in Philippine legislatures for four generations.

	Political Clans Make A Comeback
		A generation of younger, better-educated lawmakers was elected to the House of Representatives, loosening the grip of political families that had dominated the legislature for generations.
		Political analyst Joel Rocamora of the think-tank Institute for Popular Democracy argues, however, that the urgent matter is not the passage of an anti-dynasty law—assuming advocates can succeed in getting one passed at all.
		Political families who will hold on to their seats at all costs, says Rocamora, thrive in all the confusion caused by obsolete elections systems.

		Families also produce other goods that would be consumed on the market: they make clothing; some families build their own houses or at least repair their homes; they landscape their own properties, fix their cars, and sometimes make their own children's toys.
		Families who are strong, affirming, and respectful of their members will be better equipped to get members through crises of confidence, discouragement, or alienation that prevent them from participating as citizens.
		Families that do not produce their own goods, work outside the home, and define their economic power in terms of their capacities to consume (which further subdivides and individualizes families) are weaker economic units than the holistic families of the pre-industrial era.

		During its history the United States has seen many families who have repeatedly produced notable politicians from their ranks, and these historic U.S. political families have had a significant impact on politics in the United States.
		The Kennedys, for example, are particularly associated with Massachusetts; the Long family is identified with Louisiana, the Lees with Virginia, the Roosevelts with New York, and the Tafts with Ohio.
		Other political families are less connected with a specific state; the Bush family began in Ohio, but is now more closely identified with Texas, and a member of the family is the governor of Florida.

		It includes, besides the old landowning families that have been in legislatures for 100 years, also new entrepreneurs, especially those in construction, real estate and services that emerged among the fastest-growing economic sectors in the late 1980s and 1990s; middle-class professionals, especially lawyers from leading law firms; and leaders of nongovernment organizations.
		Although recently, some have taken a shortcut, either through the media or through the movies, or inherited their posts directly from a relative facing the three-term limit, the usual route is still for prospective legislators, even those who come from political families, to vie for “lesser” elective posts.
		And yet, the number of political family members in the Eleventh House is not much different from the ones before it.

		SOME OF the region's old political families like the Tañadas of Quezon province and the Yulos of Laguna province no longer figure as prominently in Southern Luzon politics but the heirs of such clans as the Rectos and Laurels of Batangas province are now trying to revive their old political hegemony.

		Dynastic families, and whiffs of nepotism, have been a part of American politics since John Adams made his son John Quincy Adams his envoy to Prussia.
		But what is striking is the endurance of American political legacies and the growth of new ones -- witness Hillary Rodham Clinton's move to the Senate as her husband left the White House -- even as other democracies move away from the perception of familial privilege.
		History is full of political families whose bloodlines have dried up: the Roosevelts, the Harrisons (William Henry and grandson Benjamin), the La Follettes, the Stevensons and the Cabot Lodges -- whose scion was defeated by John F. Kennedy, launching a new political dynasty.

		Solidarity tents have been set up in the centre of all the cities in the West Bank and in all the Red Cross Centres and will be occupied by the public around the clock for as long as the prisoners’ strike lasts.

		Politically mixed families that is. It's an interesting read about how politics can affect family dynamics.

		However, communications by telephone or other modalities with patients and their families about political matters must be conducted with the utmost sensitivity to patients’ vulnerability and desire for privacy.
		In general, when conversation with the patient or family concerning social, civic, or recreational matters is acceptable, discussion of items of political import may be appropriate.

	Interview with Catherine Allgor, author of Parlor Politics
		Republicanism was against a lot of what we would call politics, including the interplay of politicians working for interests, the use of social events for political purposes (schmoozing!), and the presence of women and families in political systems.
		So while their menfolk were trying to appear as "republican" as possible, the women of political families took over the dirty work of politics.
		Giving away jobs and favors for political gain is seen now as corrupt and suspect, but any administration (especially one in the first uncertain years of the new republic) needs to surround itself with friends and supporters.

		KINSHIP AND POLITICS is a comprehensive study of the elite socialization and recruitment of justices to the U.S. and Louisiana Supreme Courts through the eyes of a scholar who, from all appearances, has a passionate interest in the judicial branch and, even more so, in the subject of political families.
		Beyond the general observation that the majority of Louisiana and U.S. Supreme Court justices are members of political families, Kurtz reveals that about half of the justices under study were the sons of public officials.
		Kurtz also calls attention to the fact that those from political families display an earlier interest in politics, begin their political careers earlier, reach high office at a younger age, and remain in their positions longer than those who do not have such a family background.
