NYSUT: Campaign Analysis
The campaign respects the decision made today by NYSUT, to endorse Jim Tedisco. However we are still saddened, and worried by this action. This campaign are still of the belief that what is best for teachers, students, and all public schools is to fully fund them.

This endorsement should offend all female members of the union, as the candidate they have just endorsed has voted down bills that would ensure equal pay for equal work, and voting down bills that would guarantee paid family. We must also not forget Tedisco's personal record of education. He has been in the private education system his whole life. This could be the reason that he voted for a bill that would give state tax dollars to the charter school system.

    The Kokoda was a significant battle in World War 2 because the Kokoda campaign saved Australia from possible invasion. It was the only place where troops went across Papua New Guinea from the north to the south coasts. From launching an invasion of Australia, the Japanese intended to capture Port Moresby as a start. If the Kokoda campaign didn’t occur, Australians may been isolated and being surrendered. In May 1942 the Japanese sent a powerful invasion force to capture Port Moresby by sea which they were ready to land an invasion. Because the Japanese navy was halted at the Battle of the Coral Sea, Japan had an only option which was seizing Port Moresby that seemed to be an overland assault along the Kokoda Track. (Kaye, L 2014)Using the track…

    Carlin's Campaign Summary

    • 2 Pages

    Much to his own surprise, Carlin won the primaries and was the Democratic candidate for the 1978 election. His opponent, Robert Bennett, was running for reelection as governor and many didn’t give Carlin a chance in winning. Too many Kansans surprise the race ended up being closer than what any would have guessed it to be. For both candidates, it was a campaign of ads and discussing the major issues they would both be wanting to change if they were to win office. For Carlin, one certain aspect that he included in his ads, which his opponent did not, was to focus on the major issues that he and his campaign manager were willing to fix more than what his opponent was. This issue was the untidily issue and the Republican candidate realize all of this just too late for it to change the outcome of the election.…

    While I can not attended this event because I am away at school I urge all people who are in the Chicago-land area to consider attending. Betsy DeVos is Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Education. Her goal is to use taxpayers money to fund charter schools and vouchers for private/religious schooling. We have seen in the past that vouchers (while a good idea in theory) do not work. As for using taxpayers money to fund religious schooling—- it is a direct violation of separation of church and state. DeVos has “cloaked” her ideas of privatization of the education system by saying that parents should “choice” where their children go to school—this is a luxury not all families will get. It is my belief that DeVos will cause great damage to public…

    The article published by the New York Times, The Trump War on Public Schools, describes the potential dangers of the appointment of Betsy DeVos to the position of secretary of education. According to the author, DeVos is responsible for the expansion of charter schools within Michigan. Charter schools within the state cost approximately $1.1 billion dollars a year and have been accused of “wasteful spending and double dipping” by the Detroit Free Press. The committee responsible for questioning DeVos determined that she was woefully ignorant of the problems plaguing public schools. Several problems presented by the author include the fact that DeVos in extremely unqualified for the position as well as her strong support for for-profit schools.…

    The presidential election in 2000 between George W. Bush and Al Gore was a close race, unfortunately for Al Gore, the election was not fair. When Florida voted the first time Bush won all 25 electoral votes, he won by 15,000 votes. Palm Beach county in Florida demanded a recount because many citizens believed they voted for the wrong person due to the confusion of the ballot.

    The best way to characterize the campaign efforts of Roy Moore is modest. In a typically red state made up of more than 52% right leaning residents and following the election of Donald Trump many thought this election would just continue Republican dominance in the state (“Party Affiliation”). With just under $1.8 million dollars raised Roy Moore enjoyed a modern day front porch campaign remaining mostly active on social media (Strauss and Bland). Roy Moore didn’t actively travel or push for tough grass root efforts but rather, remained active on twitter with over 609 tweets, attempting to mobilize young Republican Alabama voters (“United States”). Through his social media platform he emphasized his past history as a judge, his conservative…

    Negative campaign has become one of the best strategies for politicians to get to the white house. Every election year we see the typical Democratic versus Republican candidate, attacking each other and saying embarrassing things about each other. Last year was not the exception, and a little worse than the past ones. Other than the main ones Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, we also had Berny Sanders from the Democratic party and Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio from the Republican party, who many of us thought were strong and better candidates.…

    To reiterate, the best way to improve democracy in the U.S. is by individualizing, localizing, and cleaning up elections and the voting system, but not everybody agrees. The first criticism to this position is that individualizing the voting system is giving additional power to the uninformed voter. This is understandable for the reason that these voters have already made an impact in the current elections, and giving those with outdated, or uninformed views will do nothing but hurt the elections. However, the manipulation of uninformed voters by the candidates is very common, and candidates practice advertising tactics such as attack ads to alter the view of these uninformed voters.

    With products such as Shamwow, Oxyclean, and the Bowflex, flooding our modern-day market, it seems as though today’s advertisement challenges the intelligence of the American populace with a single daunting task, to force people to stop thinking rationally. Intelligence is measured upon a variety of elements all stemming from rational thought; The Onion satirizes the seemingly infinite quantity of irrational thought in the world today, in an ad for a new and improved, $19.95 (plus shipping and handling), solution to any person’s foot problems. “MagnaSoles” depicts the gullibility of people by showing their reliance on various modes of the media to obtain information. In this case, lustrous qualities lure the customer, while other solidifying details cause the commercial to ensnare the modern day consumer into a trap of successful conversions of your “pain nuclei” into “pleasing comfortrons”.…

I felt that the points he made displayed a lot of truth in them and it brought to reality effects about public school systems that I would have never thought to question or recognize.…

    Schools today are in dire need of funding. Government budgets cut far too much from allowances for the educational system, which in turn is unable to provide the highest quality service to young students looking to gain the skills necessary to be successful. As a result of this lack of appropriations, many have looked to other places to find money so that children may receive a better education. One of these places is from corporate donors who would award sums of money in exchange for special advertising space within schools. While some may argue that the corporate sponsorship and advertising in schools may be beneficial to the schools, it is ultimately an unhealthy and would for the most part negatively affect the minds of students who are there to be taught important skills and not be influenced by outside conglomerates…
