- 131: Important Elements of a Campaign Strategy
- ... 1996, 150-151). Naturally, an election on a smaller scale will probably allow a more specific theme. We have seen the importance of a campaign theme recently in the 1996 presidential election. The incumbent, Bill Clinton made himself out to be a candidate concerned about our future. He backed this idea with his support of education. Furthermore, he reiterated this theme throughout the campaign with his catch-phrase, "Building a bridge ... main adversary, Republican Bob Dole, focused on the issue of taxes and more specifically, his proposal of a flat tax rate. In contrasting the themes of each nominee, we can see a glaring difference. President Clinton portrayed himself as the president that was right for our future. This was something that everyone wanted his or her president to be. Senator Dole, on the other hand, while focusing mainly on taxes, shunned many voters that did not see a revamped income tax system as major concern. Albeit clichι, Clinton's theme appealed to voters who could not be burdened with keeping up on complex tax proposals and obscure issue stances. The growth of the media has made it into a powerful force in ...
- 132: The Communication Decency Act: The Fight For Freedom of Speech on the Internet
- ... Next, the people responsible for giving us the CDA are respectable Republicans and Democrats, not liberals and conservatives. If someone would have asked an Internet user who is opposed to the CDA to vote for Clinton or Dole this past fall, they would say, "Wouldn't that have been like being given a choice between cancer and heart disease?" In other words, disrespect for the President and Congress seem appropriate. Third ... show an Internet users' displeasure with the CDA. Another way to show you care is to e-mail high political officers. I have e-mailed the current president (9:23 PM, 11-5-96) Bill Clinton and the vice-president Al Gore. I have also mailed Bob Dole and Jack Kemp. On the more local level I have e-mailed Senators: Rick Santorum and Arlen Specter and Representatives: Jon Fox, Paul ... about the unconstitutionality of the CDA, went to the White House and made signs, etc. while marching around the White House's property. Also, everybody was asked to e-mail the president in protest. President Clinton got over 10,000 e-mail messages on that day. I think it opened a lot of eyes. Black Thursday was another big issue. Over 82% of the Internet's websites had a "blackout." " ...
- 133: The Communications Decency Act
- The Communications Decency Act The Communications Decency Act that was signed into law by President Clinton over a year ago is clearly in need of serious revisions due, not only to its vagueness, but mostly due to the fact that the government is infringing on our freedom of speech, may it ... 91- 5) the Telecommunications Reform Bill, and attached to it the Communications Decency Act. This day was known as "Black Thursday" by the Internet community. One week later, it was signed into law by President Clinton on Thursday, February 8, 1996, also known as the "Day of Protest." The punishment for breaking any of the provisions of the bill is punishable with up to 2 years in prison and/or a ... to means that they can be reached from another site. It's pretty hard to surf around on the Net and not see a Blue Ribbon on someone's site. On the day that President Clinton signed the CDA into law, a group of nineteen organizations, from the American Civil Liberties Union to the National Writers Union, filed suit in federal court, arguing that it restricted free speech. At the ...
- 134: Gun Control: Simple Solution or Ticket to Trouble
- ... firearm homicide rates are 33% lower, and handgun homicide rates are 38% lower. Right there is food for thought if you ask me. (News Release, 1998) The next thing to think about is what President Clinton is doing about gun control. More than 85% of the weapons banned as assault weapons by Clinton are rifles. Oddly enough, rifles are the least used type of firearm in crimes. As of 1994, only 3% of homicides involved the use of any type of rifle, including assault. President Clinton has also targeted ammunition in his fight against guns. He claims, along with gun ban supporters, that new ammunition has been developed to defeat bullet resistant vests. They are using this claim to make ...
- 135: Wag The Dog
- ... Lewinsky scandal that our current president is facing, but it seems this movie came at the right time. The story is similar, as far as the sex charges, and a war to cover it up. Clinton did declare attacks on Iraq, which was after this movie was released. I m not saying that the movie gave Clinton the idea of attacking Iraq or if it was actually needed. This movie made me think allot, about how things really work in the government. The whole movie is how they are trying to take ... t want us to. It shows how much power people have and what can be done with it. I honestly wouldn t be surprised if the Iraq bombings were slightly prompted by the Lewinsky charges. Clinton has taken allot of heat in the past year or so, and I m sure there is allot of things he would do just to get rid of this for a while. One thing ...
- 136: The Need For Reason
- ... with a certain respect, and make them geldings (by psychos I mean rapists, child molesters, etc.), I would be willing to put money on it that we would have much less. And what about the Clinton impeachment trial, huh? Where are we supposed to sit on that mess? What about the pervasive lack of reason across the entire political spectrum? If Ken Starr had been reasonable, he would've closed up shop when he couldn't nail Clinton on Whitewater. If Clinton were reasonable, he wouldn't keep whipping it out like it was the only lighter in a crackhouse. If the Republicans were reasonable, they wouldn't have been so bloodthirsty about finally catching him ...

- 138: Computer Networking
- ... components are DPCM (subtracted from Internet in the Classroom The Internet is a network of millions of computers worldwide, connected together. It is an elaborate source of education, information, entertainment, and communication. Recently, President Bill Clinton expressed an idea to put the Internet into every classroom in America by the year 2000[4]. Considering the magnitude of this problem, and the costs involved, it is not realistically possible to set this ... in kindergarten through 12th grade[3]. Considering an average of about 50 classrooms per school, at an average cost of $1,000 per classroom for one connection(an extremely low estimate), this will give president Clinton's idea a price tag of roughly $4 billion. This estimate does not even begin to take into account the costs of constant upgrades, full- time technicians, and structural changes required to install these systems ... but do we really need it? Considering that all major and most minor colleges offer a wide range of Internet services, it is not necessary to have that same service in our public schools.

When you look into the facts, it is obvious that this plan has not been ...

- ... enough, for it was not meant for this information to become understood so clearly until close to the time for it to happen. 1. Around New Year's, 1997- Saddam Hussein will defiantly force President Clinton to make a move. Most likely, Saddam will initiate another invasion and people will be slaughtered by the hundreds, as was done in Kuwait. 2. At the end of January, President Clinton will launch a massive strike against Iraq, and Saddam will be killed. This will anger the Russians because Iraq still owes them money from the cost of the war in 1990. As Russia is still ... having a hard time financially since the collapse of the Soviet Union, America's reaction to Saddam will be seen as inconsiderate of Russia's financial woes. France will join in the arguments, defending President Clinton's decision with the attitude that Saddam's destruction was in the best interest of keeping peace in the world. Russia will still feel that it's problems have not been given enough consideration. ...
- 140: The Science of Cloning
- ... shelf full of body parts" (Price 2). One of the major problems a scientist has in trying to develop a science like cloning is the politics behind it. Soon after Dr. Seed's announcement President Clinton tried to revive a bill he proposed that would put a five-year ban, or waiting period on cloning (Chayes and Edwards 2). Clinton's intentions are to give an American Bio-ethics team time to decide if cloning is morally acceptable and should be permitted. It is not certain whether President Clinton is totally against cloning or not. However, with all the media coverage, the major opinion towards cloning is that it isn't wanted. It is conceivable that most politicians are going to sway on ...
