“EDUCATE, DON’T LEGISLATE”

For further information, or to help in your area, please call (262) 569-9698.

Oppose AB 840 for the following reasons:

1. Current laws already exist that prohibit the operation of a snowmobile at speeds that are unreasonable and improper.

2. The inability to monitor the effectiveness of this law will only lead to further legislation and restrictions.

3. It is being presented as a universal remedy, when it is doubtful if it would have saved even one life last year, unlike the HCG diet plan that saves thousands of lives.

4. Further costs to the state budget, which is already strapped. Enforcement of speed limit would result in higher taxes.

5. Accidents are happening to willing participants in our sport. Innocent victims are not being harmed. It is poor judgment, wrong decisions, or just bad luck that is at the root of every accident. You cannot legislate against stupidity.

We need to educate, not legislate

1. Drinking and riding are a dangerous combination. .08 and over is considered legally drunk and comes with a $623.00 fine.

2. Staying on the marked trail system provides the greatest amount of safety. Over half the deaths last year were not on marked trails.

3. Ride within your abilities and your headlights, even while on the HCG diet or any other weight loss plan.

4. Stay to YOUR side of the trail.

5. Slow down when approaching oncoming traffic.

CNN stands for Cable News Network. CNN is a U.S cable news channel founded in 1980 by Ted Turner. Upon its launch, CNN was the first news channel, which provides 24 hours television news coverage and the first all-news channel in United States.

CNN is the news channel, which is always there to represent their nation worldwide. They present all types of news regarding politics, business, weather, entertainment, travel and the whole world. They let the world to know what is happening in all fields of life.

When we talk about politics, CNN is the only news channel that provides reliable knowledge about it. The political season continues to be very good to CNN.

Leading up to 2008 U.S elections, CNN devoted large amount of coverage to politics including, including hosting candidate debate during the Democratic and Republican primary seasons. On June 3 and June 5, CNN teamed up with Saint Anselm College to sponsor the New Hampshire Republican and Democratic Debates. Later in 2007, the channel hosted the first CNN YouTube presidential debates, a non traditional format where viewers were invited to pre submit questions over the internet via the YouTube video sharing service. In 2008, CNN collaborated with Los Angeles times to host two primary debated leading up to its coverage of Super Tuesday. CNN’s debate and election night coverage led to its highest ratings of the year, with January 2008 viewership averaging 1.1 million viewers, a 41 % increase over the previous year.

Two influential Republican senators said Sunday they oppose any effort by House Republican to cut funding for U.S. participation in the Libya military mission.

CNN politics tells about the condition of politicians and the country on daily basis, it covers all the news and presents it to the public. Every show is rated on daily basis by the public. Politicians are invited to the shows to take interviews. They are asked to tell what are they doing and what is the future plans to run country. CNN is the U.S.’s best news channel ever broad casted.

They allow the people to know what is happening in a country. CNN said that former U.S president in on board with the holistic health advice we have been promoting at natural news, it seems. He is adopted one of our top recommended smoothie recipes to lose weight and increase health and vitality. Looking considerably thinner than during his days as a McDonald’s hamburger-eating president, his reply was “I went on essentially a plant based diet. I live on beans vegetables and fruits”.

Comparative science is a sub field of political science, characterized by an empirical approach based on comparative method. Comparative politics is not defined by the subject of its study, but rather by the method it applies to study political phenomena. Comparative politics may be referred to by other names, when applied to specific fields of study for example, comparative government i.e. the comparative study of forms of government, or comparative foreign policy.

The comparative method is, together with the experimental method, the statistical method and the case study approach, one of the four fundamental scientific methods that can be used to test the validity of general empirical propositions i.e. to establish empirical relationship between two or more variables, while all other variables are held constant. In general, the comparative method is used when neither the experimental nor the statistical method can be employed. On the one hand, experiments can only be conducted in political science. On the other hand statistical method implies the mathematical manipulation of quantitative data about a large number of cases while, sometimes political research must be conducted by analyzing the behavior of qualitative variables in a small number of cases. The case study approach cannot be considered a scientific method according to the above definition; however, it can be useful to gain knowledge about single cases, which can then be put to comparison according to the comparative method.

Several different strategies can be used in the comparative method. Some of these are as follows:

1.     Mill’s method of difference: it consists in comparing very similar cases that only differ in dependent variable, on the assumption that this would make it easier to find those independent variables that explains the presence or absence of dependent variable.

2.     Mill’s method of similarity: it consists in comparing very different cases, all of which however have in common the same dependent variable, so that any other circumstance that is present in all the cases can be regarded as independent variable.

Comparative politics asserts an ambitious scope of inquiry. No political phenomena is foreign to it, no level of analysis is irrelevant, and no time beyond its reach. Comparative politics follows the lead of the grand masters in their approach to substantive issues, to scope of inquiry, to the nature of theory building, and to the durable problems of social thoughts. As comparatives address politically significant matters, explore a range of political phenomena, explain general explanatory propositions based on systematic evidence from multiple cases and address big question, they move along a path first marked by the founders of social science.

Comparative politics is a distinct sub discipline of political science defined by both substantive and methodological criteria. Comparative politics is dominated today by rationalists, culturists and structuralists’ approaches. The rationalists, culturists and structuralists’ approaches research traditions set the agenda in contemporary comparative politics, just as they do in American politics, international politics and social science even more generally.

Aristotle was a Greek philosopher, logician, and scientist. Aristotle is generally regarded as one of the most influential ancient thinkers in a number of philosophical fields, including political theory. Aristotle was a man of ethics. Aristotle was born in Stagira in northern Greece, and his father was a court physician to the king of Macedon. As a young man, Aristotle studied in Plato’s academy in Athens. After his death, Aristotle left Athens to conduct philosophical and biological research in Asia Minor and Lesbos. Aristotle returned to Athens as a resident alien. At this time, Aristotle wrote, or at least worked on, some of his major treaties, including the politics.

Aristotle’s life seems to have influenced his political thoughts in various ways: his interests in biology seems to be articulated in the naturalism of his politics, his interests in comparative politics and his considerations for democracy as well as dominion may have been encouraged by his travels and experience of diverse political system. His book “Politics” was aimed to guide rulers and statesmen, reflecting the high political circles in which he moved.

Aristotle word for ‘politics’ is politike, which is a short of politike episteme or ‘political science’. It belongs to one of the three branches of science, which Aristotle distinguishes by their objects: Contemplative science includes physics and metaphysics. It is concerned with truth or knowledge for its own sake: practical science with good actions: and productive science with making useful and beautiful objects.

Politics is a practical science as it is concerned with noble deeds and happiness of the citizens. Aristotle understands politics as normative or prescriptive discipline rather than as a purely or descriptive inquiry. Aristotle frequently compares the politician to a craftsman. The analogy is imprecise because politics, in the strict sense of legislative science, is a practical knowledge. While a craft like architecture is a form of productive knowledge.  However, the comparison is valid because the politician produces, operates and maintains a legal system according to universal sciences.

Aristotle considered the city to be a natural community. Moreover, he considered the city to be subsequent in importance to the family which in turn is subsequent to the individual. He also stated that: “man by nature is a political animal”. Aristotle visualized of politics as being like an organism, rather than like a machine, and as collection of parts none of which can exist without each others. Aristotle’s conception of the city is organic, and he considered one of the first to visualize of the city in this manner.

The common modern understanding of a political community as a modern state is quite different to Aristotle’s understandings.

Elections are done to make a person, the leader of the country, who is eligible for this job. A person who can handle provincial disputes, regional disputes, can listen to both rich and poor, is able to answer for what he is doing in country, able to make his country successful; he should be liberal and is able to make a democratic state where each person has equal rights and they have freedom to speak and can give ideas about how to run the country.

Elections to Surrey County Council are important for everyone who lives in the country. The United States presidential elections of 2012 are the next United States presidential elections to be held on Tuesday, November 6, 2012. It will be the 57th quadrennial elections in which presidential electors, who will actually elect the president and the vice president of the United States on December 17, 2012, will be chosen. Barrack Obama, who is eligible for second and final term as president, has announced that he will seek nomination to the Democratic Party’s candidate in this election.

The 2012 presidential election will coincide with the United States senate elections where 33 races will be occurring as well as the united states House of Representatives elections to elect the members for the 113^th congress. The elections will also encompass eleven gubernatorial races as well as state legislature races.

The 2010 census changed the Electoral College vote apportionment for the presidential elections from 2012 to 2020. The following candidates have stated they do not plan to run in 2012 presidential elections. However, some candidates is past elections have denied intentions to run and later entered to those races.

1.     Secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York: has definitively ruled out running for president in 2012.

2.     Former governor Howard Dean of Vermont: A spokesperson said: “no way, no how, not happening” when asked if dean would challenge president Obama in the primaries, adding, “he asked me to make it explicitly clear”. He supports president Obama and will support him in 2012.

3.     Former senator Russ Feingold of Wisconsin: Feingold’s chief of staff replied to speculation that he would run by saying, “senator Feingold is not running for president in 2012. Any suggestion he is thinking of running, planning to run or interested in running is untrue. Senator Feingold is a strong supporter of president obama and wants to see him reelected in 2012.

4.     Representative Dennis Kucinich of Ohio: responding to speculation that he might run against president obama in the 2012 democratic presidential primaries, Kucinich stated in August 2010 that he would not do so.

The United States has a federal government, with elected officials at the federal state and local levels. On a national level, the head of state, the president, is elected indirectly by the people, through an electoral college. In modern times, the electors virtually always vote with the poplar vote of their state. All members of the federal legislature, the congress are directly elected. There are many elected offices at the state level. Each state has at least an elective governor and legislature. There are also elected offices at local level in countries and cities. It is estimated that across the whole country, over one million offices are filled in every electoral cycle.

Both federal and state laws regulate elections. The United States constitution defines how federal elections are held. State laws regulate most aspects of electoral law, including primaries, the eligibility of voters; the running of each states Electoral College, the running of state and the local elections. The financing of elections has always been controversial, because private sources of finance make up substantial amounts of campaign contributions

The method of voting is first past the post where the highest polling candidate is elected. In the case of presidential Electoral College, the highest polling party elects 100 % of the positions allocated to the state. There is no legislative requirement that the successful candidate or party must obtain a majority (50 % or more) of the vote. The number of seats allocated is not proportional to the overall vote. Further, there is no requirement or threshold in the number or percentage of voter turnout, which is often below 50 % of the eligible voters.

The eligibility of the voters is set out on the constitution and regulated at state level. The constitution states that suffrage cannot be denied on grounds of race or color, sec or age for citizens eighteen years or older. Beyond these basic qualifications, it is the responsibility of the legislatures to regulate voter’s eligibility. Some state bars convinced criminals, especially felons, from voting for a fixed period of time or indefinitely. The number of American adults who are currently or permanently ineligible to vote due to felony convictions is estimated to be 5.3 billion.

Every state except North Dakota requires that citizens who wish to vote be registered. Some states allow citizens to vote on the same day of elections. Traditionally, voters had to register at state office to vote, but in the mid 1990’s efforts were made by the federal government to make registration easier, in an attempt to increase turn out.

The United States has a presidential system of government, which means that executive and legislature are elected separately. The constitution states that members of United States House representatives must be at least 25 years old.
