	Rider (politics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In legislative practice, a rider is an additional provision annexed to a bill under the consideration of a legislature, having little connection with the subject matter of the bill.
		Use of riders is customary in many legislative bodies, including the Congress of the United States.
		Riders are most effective when attached to an important bill, such as an appropriation bill, because to veto or table such a bill could delay funding to governmental programs, causing serious problems.

	SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Politics -- Richard Rider announces candidacy for mayor
		Rider, who has unsuccessfully run for public office in San Diego County four times, said he was "somewhat of a reluctant candidate" but that he felt others in the race were not willing to go to war with labor unions to scale back pensions and other benefits.
		Rider is a retired stockbroker and financial planner and a prominent figure in the Libertarian Party.
		He ran for county supervisor in 1992, for county treasurer and the state assembly in 1998 and for Congress in 1988.Rider has sued the city over several financing issues over the years, and successfully fought the county's 1988 half-cent-on-the-dollar sales tax boost, which later was found to be illegal.

	SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Politics -- Rider would seek bids for most city jobs
		Rider said he would invite bids from city departments interested in retaining their work, and his plan would force employees into a decision: Agree to lower wages and benefits or find a job someplace else.
		Rider, a tax activist whose lawsuit in 1989 overturned a half-percent county sales tax, pledged no new or increased taxes and no new fees until the city turned around a pension deficit estimated to be at least $1.4 billion.
		Rider added that he is opposed to professional sports subsidies, the city's proposed downtown library, sales of city land and pension obligation bonds.

		John McCain of Arizona and Olympia J. Snowe of Maine oppose the rider, staffers said, because the issue is so complicated that it deserves debate in either a committee room or on the Senate floor.
		Stevens' rider when the omnibus spending bill it is likely to be attached to comes to the Senate floor, he added.
		The Stevens rider would extend what is a frantic and dangerous crab-fishing season and mandate that fishermen take most of their catch to government-designated packing houses.

	CNN - Senate rider called threat to wetlands - June 22, 1999
		A rider attached to a bill recently passed by the Senate could potentially endanger wetlands by granting a lenient appeals process to developers while creating more red tape for the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers.
		If the rider remains attached to the bill, and the bill is passed, it will more than likely become a law, according to the Audubon Society.
		If the rider and bill it's attached to become law, "the results could be the corps would be a lot more conservative in determining what are wetlands because they don't want to be hung up in court in the appeals process," said Sibbing.

	America's Debate -> Le Tour de France
		The position of the riders in the overall classification of the race is computed by the cumulative time they take to finish each stage.
		In addition, there are various points in the race where a rider can pick up "time bonuses" of a few seconds which reduce the total time for that rider for that stage.
		A: In order to keep 180 riders trying to gun it for the line on every stage as well as make life easier for officials, riders who come across as a group in the "1 Kilometer to go line" will be given the same time on flat stages.

	My Philosophy on Politics
		The American voters, who have already made their choices, are standing by to watch the great expenditure of money and effort to be spent on convincing the convinced, recruiting the unconvinced, enlightening the ignorant and energizing the apathetic.
		I knew very little about politics and wasn’t interested, but for some reason, I finally decided to find out just what the difference was between Democrats and Republicans and just what side I wanted to line up on for that election.
		Here is a simplified version of my political philosophy ranging from one form of undesirable government to another form of undesirable government.

	The Free Rider Problem
		From early in the twentieth century, a common view of collective action in pluralist group politics was that policy on any issue must be, roughly, a vector sum of the forces of all of the groups interested in the issue (Bentley 1908).
		From that assumption, he went on to give us the first modern political theory of the state, an explanatory political theory that is not merely a handbook for the prince and that is not grounded in normative assumptions of religious commitment.
		Or we might go to a political demonstration for varied reasons other than agreement with the ostensible object of the demonstration; for example pro-war proponents might join in a peace march on a glorious day to hear performances by outstanding singers in a large public park -- something they might happily have paid to do.

		Many of the riders become law and the damage is done, with little notice from the press corps.
		Yet another rider halts implementation of a new system for calculating royalties on oil and gas pumped from federal lands.
		The Craig rider would eliminate the "millsite" provision of the 1872 Mining Law (one of the precious few environmental provisions of that archaic law from the age of the Robber Barons) which limits mining companies to a single five-acre waste dump site for every 20-acre mining claim.

	SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Politics -- Mayoral candidate Rider unveils his rescue plan
		Calling it the book that public employees fear most, Rider said 8,000 of the city's 11,000 jobs could be outsourced to private contractors at a fraction of the cost of what the city pays now.
		Standing in front of a Staples office supply store in Kearny Mesa to make his point, Rider, 59, said that while the city pays 15 to 25 cents each just to make a copy, it could be done at Staples or similar stores or print shops for only 4 to 6 cents each.
		Rider had tossed his hat unsuccessfully into several elections, including his 1994 run as the Libertarian candidate for governor against Pete Wilson, where he received 1.7 percent of the vote.

	Rough Rider redux \| csmonitor.com
		During the 1912 campaign, he proposed such radical ideas as judicial recall, financial aid to workers injured on the job, abolition of child labor and the seven-day workweek, a living wage for workers, expanded access to credit for farmers, more protection for forests, and a broad program of social insurance for those unable to work.
		Her graceful prose richly brings the aging Rough Rider to life: plainspoken, idealistic, genial, energetic, and disciplined but, at the same time, headstrong, envious, egotistic, and averse to self-reflection.
		She is simultaneously sympathetic to Roosevelt's unquenchable desire to contribute in the public arena and critical of his inability to understand the extent to which his personal ambition and ego needs drove his actions.

		Whale Rider rests upon a body of work by Maori writers and artists, cultivated from the late 1960s, which has come to form the basis of the so-called Maori “cultural renaissance”.
		Whale Rider, however, is part of a body of work that contributes to suppressing the real source of Maori oppression.

		She amply proves her thesis that "Although Roosevelt was progressive and optimistic his political vision encompassed his darker, emotional, anti-liberal worldview of men and nations struggling against the forces of evil" (page 2).
		This political vision would serve, and to an unlikely extent, still serves as America's domestic and foreign policy, she suggests.

		This change overturned one of former Governor Mike Foster’s most important accomplishments, the passage of a law in 1999 that allowed motorcycle riders over the age of 18 to ride without a helmet as long as they maintained at least $10,000 in medical insurance coverage.
		Former Governor Mike Foster is a motorcycle rider who passionately believes that motorcyclists should not be required to wear a helmet.
		Some riders believe that helmets are a restriction on their freedom as Americans and are an example of how government is becoming too intrusive in the everyday lives of citizens.

		The reason is "free riders": in a voluntary system of donating to a worthy project, people can get the benefit of the project, without having to pay for it.
		But there were free riders too, and that did bother the volunteers.
		Yes, there are free riders in a voluntary situation, but what the academics overlook is that there are also public-spirited people, and their generosity can more than make up for the selfishness of free riders.
