“Almost no one under 60 remembers what fundraising was like before Watergate. Until the 1970s, campaign money was collected by "bagmen," familiar characters from the world of organized crime. As fans of Boardwalk Empire know, a bagman is a political fixer who walked around with stacks of $100 and $1,000 bills. At lower levels, he used brown paper bags. In presidential campaigns, the cash was more likely to be in briefcases.

“Organizational Development: The New Christian Right of the 1980s was dominated by paper organizations that were essentially the mailing lists of a handful of politicized ministers. Such organizations were better at issuing press releases than doing the hard work of political mobilization and advocacy. By contrast, the movement of the 1990s has generated a plethora of grass-roots organizations that allocate meaningful responsibilities to individual members. The goal is to create an army of grassroots activists who know how to stimulate political change.” KnowsHardChristianPoliticalIndividualGoalResponsibilityKnow HowAtheismMovementHard WorkDevelopmentMembersPaperRootsOrganizationArmyPressesPositive AtheismListsMeaningfulReleaseMinistersGrassActivistContrastHandfulAdvocacyOrganizationalGrassrootsChristian RightPolitical ChangeMobilizationMailingPress Release Author:Kenneth D.

“Yes, we've cut the maternal mortality rate in half, but far too many women are still denied critical access to reproductive health care and safe childbirth, and laws don't count for much if they're not enforced. Rights have to exist in practice - not just on paper. Laws have to be backed up with resources and political will. And deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed.” IfsStillsCareLawPoliticalBeliefReligiousHalfPracticeCuttingRightsChangedSafePaperResourcesRateCriticalAccessHealth CareCodeMortalityDeniedChildbirthReligious BeliefPolitical WillReproductive Health Author:Hillary Clinton
