	Radical Civic Union (Argentina)
		The meaning of the word "radical" in the party’s name is that the idea was to follow “radically” the ideas of the old Unión Cívica (Civic Union).
		Although the true Radical Flag does not have the Radical Coat of Arms, nor text, sometimes during political meetings some members of the U.C.R. host unofficial variants of the flag.
		The Radical Coat of Arms or Emblem, is based on the Argentine National Coat of Arms (in its shape, position of the rising sun, and general configuration).

	Radical idea in California: home rule \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		Meanwhile, power in most large cities and school districts has gone to public employee unions – and in some cases developers – which are now the prime source of campaign money and of candidates for school boards, city councils, boards of supervisors and the hundreds of other jurisdictions that most voters hardly know exist.
		That clout was inadvertently handed to the unions by a pair of court decisions in the 1970s and by Proposition 13 itself.
		But because civic engagement begins at the local level, probably the most promising start in restoring it is to re-empower local agencies with some ability to raise their own revenues.

		The goal of the American Workers Union, which organized the sit-in, was to unite unemployed and employed workers in order to keep the unemployed from use as a source of strikebreakers.
		It was the community support for the union that led Sentner to suggest that it could be the base for advancing the CIO in the District and nation, to show a fighting spirit in the face of a defeatism and rollback campaign by employers.
		Despite the persecution of leading activists, the vision of social movement unionism that sought to connect union to community was not completely bliterated, though it was put into practice by the most committed cadre under isolated and repressive circumstances, hidden beneath the surface of the intense anticommunism of the period.

	A More Perfect Union - Radical Individualism
		A 20-year study of subnational governments in various regions of Italy by Harvard Professor Robert D. Putnam found that "the quality of governance was determined by longstanding traditions of civic engagement (or its absence)." The study observed that voter turnout, newspaper readership, and membership in social organizations were indicators of a successful region.
		This ever-increasing radical individualism and decreasing citizen participation threatens to render us unable to accomplish tasks necessary for the continued betterment of our nation.
		Breaking down the barriers of radical individualism by increasing the sense of community among Americans is the only way for the nation to solve the problems it will encounter in the future and continue to evolve.

		The Radicals, with their emphasis on fair elections and democratic institutions, opened their doors to Argentina's rapidly expanding middle class as well as to groups previously excluded from power.
		On October 30, 1983, Argentines went to the polls and chose Raul Alfonsin, of the Radical Civic Union (UCR), as President.
		Nevertheless, slowness in addressing public service contract renegotiations, capacity constraints, potential energy shortages in the face of high growth and distorted energy prices, inflation, and the government's heterodox policies to contain it (including pressure on the private sector to maintain price controls), and a still-weak investment climate are potential obstacles to sustaining the recovery.

		Fernando de la Rua of the Radical Civic Union Party won a historic victory in Argentinas presidential elections on October 24, 1999.
		To further complicate his position, de la Rua won the presidency in coalition with Frepaso, a diverse conglomeration of former Peronists, Radicals, and an assortment of left-wing activists.
		The Peronists, in opposition during the Alfonsin regime, made matters much worse with their control of the labor unions and the call for incessant strikes, until Menem took over and had both the political leverage and the audacity to carry out basic reforms.

		Before the 1989 presidential election, the Radical party was in control of the government.

		Taken together both the Radical Party and FREPASO are greatly at variance ideologically with President de la Rúa—so much so, in fact, that in retrospect it seems remarkable that a personality so conservative could ever be their joint candidate.
		The Radicals like to think of themselves as akin to the French or Spanish socialist parties; FREPASO populates ideological provinces even farther to the Left.
		As it is, both Radical and Peronist congressional delegations have been talking about revoking some of the extraordinary powers it awarded to Cavallo earlier this year; if they cannot force de la Rúa to get rid of his finance minister, they seem determined to make his work more difficult.

		On October 24, a young woman wearing a t-shirt calling for the release of the La Tablada prisoners entered the Spanish Royal Academy in Madrid as de la Rúa was finishing a speech there, and shouted “Don’t let those men die,” while other activists demonstrated outside the building.
		The Amnesty International (AI) chapter in Lugo, Spain, called a demonstration for October 26 in Santiago de Compostela to demand that Puigjané and the other La Tablada prisoners be freed; the demonstration was timed to coincide with de la Rúa’s visit to the region of Galicia.

		As World War II and the international coalition between the US and the Soviet Union muted anticommunism, the community organizing strategies of the left developed into a full-fledged “civic unionism” that sought to build a challenge to employer power even in the context of the no-strike pledge.
		District 8 developed this concept of grass-roots movements for economic planning when it organized and critically structured the campaign for a Missouri Valley Authority.
		During this time the District also distinguished its style of unionism by a deepening commitment to racial and gender equality that was part of a thorough critique of the political economy of capitalism and the structure of CIO unions.

		Even though Adosac -the teachers’ union- was one of the organizers, its attendance was negligible.
		It was presumably the government pressure that led the majority of the teachers’ union leadership to lobby for the reading of a “compromise document”, instead of setting up a platform where the fighters and their organizations could raise their proposals to free our comrades and attain a solution for all the demands of the town.
		The rally took place in a town teeming with plain-clothed police agents and soldiers, where both social fighters and their families undergo daily pressures to make them leave the struggle.
