Catholic justice lobbyists focus social teaching for election year
by Tara K. Dix Before John Carr, Director of the U.S. Catholic Conference (USCC) Department of Social Development and World Peace, dispatched delegates Feb. 29 to scheduled visits with U.S. Senators and Representatives, he quoted Sen. John McCain: "It's hard to do the Lord's work in the City of Satan." "But," said Carr, "we are here to do the Lord's work."
Election year guidance
Attendees at the conference were congratulated by Rep. Jim Leach (R-IA) for the tremendous impact Catholics and other people of faith have had on recent debt relief legislation. Other speakers praised Catholic dedication to questions of capital punishment, poverty and hunger relief, pointing out that it is unlikely that these issues would get the attention they receive without the Catholic justice lobby. Leach said that what may be most important about this progress is the realization that "we can have as much influence by being compassionate as we can by being aggressive."
Accordingly, delegates from the convention visited legislators from their respective states on Capitol Hill. Daley and Dix visited the offices of Illinois Senators Dick Durbin and Peter Fitzgerald. Target issues included hunger relief and the minimum wage (

Hello, In response to your request for information on the presidental elections, I conducted a sample search of the ERIC database. Below I have appended my search strategy, 10 citations with abstracts, and directions for accessing the full text. These citations may represent an introductory, rather than exhaustive, search for information on your topic. If you would like to conduct your own free ERIC database searches via the Internet, please visit the ERIC Database Help pages for directions or go directly to http://www.eduref.org/Eric/adv_search.shtml to search.

Diocese of Trenton Office of the Bishop I hereby direct that the attached letter be read at all Masses scheduled for the weekend of November 4/5, 2000 in all parishes and missions of the Diocese of Trenton. Legal Counsel cautions that this letter should be read without additional comments. Thank you for your implementation of this directive. November 3, 2000 Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ, On this weekend prior to our national election, I encourage you to exercise your right to vote on Tuesday. Election 2000 is critically important and will shape our national life for decades to come. There is a multitude of serious issues facing voters this year as described in the U.S. Bishops' document entitled Faithful Citizenship . However, following the teaching of Pope John Paul's 1995 encyclical The Gospel of Life , rising above other issues is our moral responsibility to respect and sustain human life from conception to natural death. In this context, we know that support and promotion of abortion is always wrong and can never be justified. Opposition to abortion must be a priority for Catholics who support the Church's teaching about the sacredness of life. As you cast your ballot on Election Day, you will make your own decisions about your choices and that is as it should be. I pray that your decisions will take into consideration the teachings of the Church on all life issues. Here is an opportunity to stand up and be counted in support of life.

Election 2000: Candidates for president
All the candidates sound so concerned about children! How can we tell whether they would really take effective steps to improve children's lives? To help you get beyond the rhetoric and get the details of the candidates' positions on issues, we've looked at candidates' web sites, talked to their campaign staffers, and consulted nonpartisan information sources. The candidates didn't all address the same issues and on some topics we couldn't find much detailed information for some of the candidates, but we've tried to give you as complete a picture as we could get. Since "third" parties seem important in this election, we've included information on candidates for president and senator from California from four parties: Democrat, Republican, Green, and Reform. We've also included information on candidates for Senate and on three California ballot measures of special importance to children ( Prop 36 Prop 38 Prop 39 ). And of course

The Election of 1800: Teaching about a Critical Moment in the History of American Constitutional Democracy
The Election of 1800: Teaching about a Critical Moment in the History of American Constitutional Democracy . This is an essay which looks at the U.S. Presidential election of 1800. It argues that the peaceful transfer of power from one political party to another helped established the lasting constitutional democracy in America.
From the site:
As America approaches its 54th presidential election in 2000, we take it for granted that the candidate who wins that election no matter how partisan or contested it might be will become the 43rd President of the United States following a peaceful transfer of power in a familiar ceremony. Indeed, this sense of inevitability is clear evidence of the strength of constitutional democracy in the United States. Aside from the election of 1860, which led to the Civil War, for two centuries America has met the test that a country is an established democracy when it consistently makes peaceful changes of government via free elections (Huntington 1991, 7-9).

ELECTION PROCESS
I. Primary
Primaries are elections held to nominate a candidate for a particular party. Primaries developed in the early twentieth century as a way of making the selection of candidates more democratic, rather than letting the party leaders choose a candidate.There are two kinds of primaries:
  • Closed Primary: A voter may vote only in the primary held by his own party. Open Primary: A voter may vote in the primary of any party. It is also called a "crossover" primary because voters can "cross over" from their own party to vote in another party´s primary.
  • II. A. Voting Election Day
    After each party has chosen its candidate (nominee) in the primaries, there is a general election to decide who will become president. Election Day is the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. That means that Election

    of its forms, seems to alienate one from it. Our political system and particularly those involved in politics have become so overexposed and glamorized that the whole "politic" of people/ government seems

      Political sciences' Steffen Schmidt is team teaching a course on the implications of Election 2000. Schmidt utilizes multimedia extensively in the course and has been assisted in the development of the materials by five undergraduate sudents.
      There was nothing predictable about the 2000 presidential election.
      Two political sciences professors wanted to capitalize on that unpredictability with an eight-week experimental mini-course, "Election 2000: Implications for Democratic Theory."
      While the course deals with the larger implications of the recent presidential election, what lessons it offers for democracy, democratic representation and the role of parties and election processes on governance, it is also serving as a pilot test for what one professor refers to as "New Instruction Paradigm."
      Steffen Schmidt, University Professor and the Jerry Shakeshaft Master Teacher of political science, is team-teaching the course with Richard Mansbach, professor of political science. Schmidt has assembled a team of undergraduate students who are helping "leverage the fascination of students with information technology and the World Wide Web."

    BY KEVIN FULLERTON
    November 10, 2000:
    Right Turn
    The balance of power on the State Board of Education shifted back to the right Tuesday, as professed Christian Cynthia Thornton rode the statewide Republican wave to victory over religious-right watchdog Donna Howard in District 10. That seat was vacated by longtime board member Will Davis , regarded as an important bulwark against the right-wing extremists who have gained influence on the board. During the campaign, Howard cited Thornton's responses on surveys distributed by conservative Christian groups as evidence that the Republican candidate was in cahoots with the right-wing insurgents who grew into a formidable bloc on the board three years ago. On those surveys, Thornton said she supported prayer in schools and the teaching of creationism, and said she disapproved of providing family-planning counseling on school campuses. But Thornton claimed she wasn't advocating that religious ideas be taught in schools, only that local districts should have the freedom to include religion in their curricula if they choose. Thornton did say, however, that she thought teaching sex education in schools intruded on parents' rights. Parents who want public education steeped more deeply in religious values will undoubtedly see Thornton's election as a step in their direction, especially coming alongside the re-election of Dist. 7 member

    Tuesday, March 14, 2000 Voters ask: Who is Bush?
    By Joan Lowy
    Scripps Howard News Service
    At this point in the 2000 presidential campaign, voters may feel like asking: Will the real George W. Bush please stand up? Then came the GOP primaries in which Bush sought to shore up support among religious fundamentalists with a greater emphasis on conservative social values. Instead, he wound up being portrayed as a creature of the Christian right by his chief opponent for the nomination, Sen. John McCain of Arizona. Now that he has the nomination virtually sewn up, Bush is widely perceived as having begun to reposition himself back toward the political middle. He is re-emphasizing his credentials as an education reformer and moderating his stance on gun control. And he appears to be soliciting the advice of party moderates. So which is the real George W. Bush? Most experts describe Bush as somewhere politically between slightly right-of-center and very conservative, but not right wing. Environment: He has eschewed regulation of industry in favor of voluntary efforts to curb pollution. He has reversed his position on global warming and now acknowledges it to be a serious problem. He has championed private property rights and opposed new species proposed for the endangered species list. During his tenure, Houston surpassed Los Angeles as the city with the worst smog in the nation.
