	Nixon's "silent majority" - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		"Silent Majority" is a term used by the U.S. President Richard Nixon in a 1969 speech.
		The Silent Majority was mostly populated with the blue collar people who made up the backbone of America, but who didn't have the ability or the time to take an active part in politics other than to vote.
		The silent majority has been used to explain a number of Republican victories in areas where no chance was given to conservative politicians by the media.

		Let historians not record that when America was the most powerful nation in the world we passed on the other side of the road and allowed the last hopes for peace and freedom of millions of people to be suffocated by the forces of totalitarianism.

	Sample Chapter for Lassiter, M.D.: The Silent Majority: Suburban Politics in the Sunbelt South.
		The populist revolt of the Silent Majority reveals the vitality and the volatility of the political center during an era of substantial turmoil.
		In concert with the color-blind demands of the Silent Majority, the White House recast public policies that sought "racial balance" and "economic integration" in suburban schools and neighborhoods as parallel forms of reverse discrimination, lacking constitutional authority to challenge the alleged class boundaries that defined de facto segregation.
		At the center of this struggle stood a situationally silent majority of white moderates concentrated in the metropolitan regions, a group that sought to balance a general preference for the status quo with opposition to segregationist policies that preached defiance of the federal courts and abandonment of public schools.

	Lassiter's "Silent Majority"
		The Silent Majority provides the first regionwide account of the suburbanization of the South from the perspective of corporate leaders, political activists, and especially of the ordinary families who lived in booming Sunbelt metropolises such as Atlanta, Charlotte, and Richmond.
		The Silent Majority traces the emergence of a “color-blind” ideology in the white middle-class suburbs that defended residential segregation and neighborhood schools as the natural outcomes of market forces and individual meritocracy rather than the unconstitutional products of discriminatory public policies.
		Connecting local and national stories, and reintegrating southern and American history, The Silent Majority is critical reading for those interested in urban and suburban studies, political and social history, the civil rights movement, public policy, and the intersection of race and class in modern America.

	Silent Majority Rule
		When the Progressive Undergraduate Council Coalition won a working majority on the UC in the fall elections of 1995, the conventional wisdom was that the UC, newly empowered by the infusion of liberal activism, would begin to Make A Difference.
		At first glance, the "silent majority strategy" seems to have kept the UC relatively sensible.
		But without Council credibility, most of what the silent majority has been working on while the activists agitate will have as little impact as a resolution calling on Harvard to reject contributions from rich old white guys.

	Silent Majority Speaks
		The huge majority of the Labour Party over all other Parties representing the British people in Parliament over the past seven years makes it virtually impossible for the wishes of the majority of the electorate to be reflected, let alone be implemented, if these are against the dictatorial desires of Tony Blair and his cronies.
		This is because a majority of Labour MPs selfishly and unashamedly serve their own interest, which is bound up with the interests of Blair's ruling cabal, rather than those of voters in their Constituencies.
		While they may argue their case, hoping to change the minds of the majority in their constituency, they should ultimately be obliged to reflect the majority view of those who elect them.
