After the experience of the Gulf War, there are established conflicting groups in the fight for individual rights like oil and nuclear weapons in the United States of America. This is also similar to other nations experiencing wars and conflicts (Boyne 65)
S. had no direct go or refusal to engage in the war, it made final decisions, though many were philosophical, and managed to come out victorious in the world (Bulloch and Harvey 88-90)
S. And its allies since the end of the Gulf War (Carlisle 97)
S. To feel the dangers of participating in the Gulf War (Joyner 78)
This shifted the attention and concern of many Americans in the United States. Therefore, the occurrence of the Gulf War acted as major catalysts in exploring what was taking place in the American precepts of engaging in war activities (K-h-a-n? 87)
Apart from suffering this feature, the state was falling in status at a rate that could not be expected by many people including its citizens. The decision to engage in the Gulf War was employed at the expense of the citizens and the state security (Lowry 78)
For instance, domestic issues were pressing on and required citizens to get back to work in aid of these agendas. In general, many Americans wanted their diplomatic stabilities to be laid within the nation with total avoidance of engaging in wars with other nations (Murdico 78)
S. To evade its involvement in the Gulf War (S-a-diq and John 54)
Most Americans knew the effects to be brought by such occurrences, and most of which were to be escalated by the presence of the Gulf War without the U.S. intervention in order to protect its economy (Santella 87)
Nonetheless, victory was on its way this time round. Because of passion and divided attentions that Americans had expressed during the war, victory brought a renewed belief and faith in the American spirit (Taylor 87)
In the early decades of the republic, interest groups were subordinated to the much more powerful parties. But as the range of government activities gradually expanded, powerful interest groups paid more attention to politics (Hrebenar, Burbank, and Benedict 1)
"I agree with the analysis that the purpose of money is to facilitate speech and debate about politics and therefore it has to be constitutionally protected as a necessary component, if you will, of free speech,' Mason said. 'It's not the same thing, but it's inextricably combined'" (Lambro 26)
The dangers of major contributions to political campaigns has already been noted, and as far back as 1971, reforms were passed which severely limit the contributions individuals and corporations can make to political campaigns. The Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA) of 1971 set limits on what candidates can spend on media advertising, required detailed reports on contributions and their origins, and required full financial disclosures from the parties sixty days after the end of their political nominating conventions (Theilmann and Wilhite 46)
When billionaire casino mogul Sheldon Adelson casually declared his intention to purchase the presidency of the United States, telling Forbes magazine in 2012 "I'm against very wealthy people attempting to influence elections. But as long as it's doable, I'm going to do it," (Bertoni), he brazenly signaled the beginning of a new era in American politics
Despite these lofty proclamations, Ryan soon embraced the culture of corporate subsidization, and today his presidential ticket alongside multimillionaire Mitt Romney is backed largely by Adelson and the Koch brothers, while Ryan himself has amassed "more than $5.4 million in his campaign account, about $2 million more than the next highest House member, according to Federal Election Commission data" (Bykowicz & Salant) through the backing of major banking institutions
What began with our forefather's modest experiment in democratic governance, built upon a foundation of informed citizenry selecting candidates who best represented shared values on the relevant issues of the day, has since become slowly distorted by the pernicious influence of corporatized campaign funding. The American political apparatus has traditionally been the arena of the affluent, because "like almost every pursuit in this free-enterprise country, political campaigning is a business & #8230; and, as in many businesses, success often goes not to the entrepreneur who brings a product to market first but to the one who exploits it best" (McManus, 2010)
California has maintained a strong tradition of enacting and enforcing local legislation restricting the abuse of campaign financing, and as current Republican Vice Presidential Paul Ryan noted in 2003 article published by the National Civic Review, "the Los Angeles public financing program upheld by Johnson v. Bradley has served as a model for programs in the California cities of Long Beach, Petaluma, Oakland and San Francisco" (Ryan, 6)
) (See Figure 1). It would be a long road, before women were granted this right nationwide, but it was "Colorado and other Western states that granted suffrage through their state constitutions in the late 1800s" (Balu, 1995) that would push the nation forward towards equality for women
The primary strategic issue here is that there is a clearly mixed message within the organization that is causing it to become more and more inefficient. According to the New York Times, "leaders of the gay rights movement are embroiled in a bitter and increasingly public debate over whether they should moderate their goals in the wake of bruising losses" of a number of states rejecting amendments to constitutions to allow for gay marriage (Broder, 2004)
Spending more time and effort on plan adoption will help unify the message and calm down internal issues within the organization. According to the text, "in order to gain necessary support, key decision makers and important stakeholders must be open to the idea of change, and they must be offered specific inducements to gain their support" (Bryson 243)
