U.S. presidential election, 2004 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The 2004 election was the first to be affected by the campaign finance reforms mandated by the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002 (also known as the McCain-Feingold Bill for its sponsors in the United States Senate). Although the overall result of the election was not challenged by the Kerry campaign, third-party presidential candidates David Cobb and Michael Badnarik obtained a recount in Ohio.

NSW Legislative Assembly Hansard Full Day Transcript It would be pointless for direct election purists to claim that a majority no vote was a result of their intervention to get what they see as a more democratic version of a republic later. It states, "The legislative power of the Commonwealth shall be vested in a Federal Parliament which shall consist of a President, a Senate and a House of Representatives." In other words substituting the word "President" for the words "Queen" or "Governor-General" follows automatically every other change. There would then be a full-blooded election campaign and the candidates would be supported in their resources, both financial and policy, by their respective parties. www.parliament.nsw.gov.au /Prod/Parlment/HansTrans.nsf/all/CA256D110020B6CD4A256817005E60B6   (2618 words)

Ronald Reagan: The Heritage Foundation Remembers Reagan's coattails brought in a net Republican gain of 33 House seats and 12 Senate seats, toppling such liberal stalwarts as George McGovern, Birch Bayh, Frank Church, and John Culver and putting Republicans in control of the Senate for the first time since they were ousted in the election of 1954. Shortly after the 1976 convention defeat, he placed $1 million in leftover campaign funds into a new political action committee, Citizens for the Republic. In 1968, there were presidential preference primaries in only 15 states; most delegates were selected by caucus-convention procedures in the states, state and local party leaders were still major players in the system, and the national convention was still the decisive venue. www.reagansheritage.org /reagan/html/reagan_career_busch.shtml   (14294 words)

AllPolitics - Presidential Debates - History Although the 1960 debates were popular with the public and broadcast nationally on network television, presidential debates took a hiatus until 1976. Front-runners not wanting to share the stage with opponents, as well as the equal-time provisions of the Communications Act of 1934, are the reasons most often cited by debate scholars for the absence of debates from 1960 to 1976. Presidential candidates were expected to keep quiet, and it was not until 1840 that a presidential candidate (William Henry Harrison of the Whig party) even stumped to advocate his own election. cgi.cnn.com /ALLPOLITICS/1996/debates/history   (1559 words)

John Forbes Kerry In 1991, he served as chairman of a Senate Select Committee that investigated Vietnam POWs and MIAs, a highly emotional issue and thankless task, as many POW/MIA groups understandably did not want to put the issue to rest.

Providence: "THREE AND ONE-HALF CENTURIES AT A GLANCE" In the municipal election of 1930, the first held after the removal of the property qualification for voting in contests for city council, Democrats gained firm control of the Board of Aldermen (8-5) and the Common Council (21-18). Most notable is Joseph Bevilacqua of Silver Lake, a commanding and forceful leader who rose from state representative to Speaker of House to chief justice of the state supreme court by 1976. In 1928 Providence pressure helped pass the Nineteenth Amendment to the state constitution, allowing the city one senator for each 25,000 electors (not people), but it took the United States Supreme Court decisions of the 1960s to give Providence the clout in the state senate that its population warranted. www.providenceri.com /history/centuries2.html   (7047 words)
