According to U.S. News.com, Richardson spent over 2 million dollars of his own funds during the 2002 campaign. During the midterm elections, he funded his campaign through donations and his own wallet. By not taking money from special interest lobbyists, he hopes to gain the trust of votes that his decisions in office will not be influenced by high donating corporations. He has made a point of calling out Lieutenant Governor Todd Lamb for accepting gifts from lobbyists. On Twitter, he has posted a video about Todd Lamb, asking “Can Oklahoma afford another four years of Mary’s Little Lamb?” This depicts his opponent as weak and unfit to be governor. On his campaign website, there is a whole page dedicated to the hypocrisy of Todd Lamb’s “Reform in Government” plan. On GaryRichardson.org, one can find his Kitchen Table Plan which states how he plans to fund Oklahoma’s government without raising taxes along with his stance on other

The governor does not get to choose the people who make up the plural executive, and they must share power. This in turn lessens the governor’s authority within the…

    Throughout the story, "The Jacket", Young Gary's jacket represents many emotions. The main two I got from the reading was poverty and the young boys insecurity once he began to wear the jacket. When young Gary first walked into his bedroom and saw the new jacket on his bedpost he immediately disliked it. One of the representations of the jacket is poverty.

    Since Texans feared a powerful government, they did not want a powerful executive figure who could abuse his power. Instead, they created the “plural executive” system that consists of a Governor, a Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Comptroller of Public Accounts, Land Commissioner, and Attorney General. Being only one of the members of the executive board, the Governor does not have that many powers. He has the power to appoint the members of boards and commissions, so he can always choose people with similar interests. However, the governor’s appointees have to be confirmed by two-thirds of the Senate. Furthermore, the governor can only fire people who were appointed by him. Thus, even though the Governor is given the power of appointment,…

    Bruce W Tuckman is a respected educational psychologist who first described the four stages of group development in 1965. While looking at the behavior of small groups in a variety of environments, he recognized the distinct phases they go through. He also suggested that they need to experience all four stages before they achieve maximum effectiveness. He refined and developed the model in 1977 with the addition of a fifth stage. Since then, others have attempted to adapt and extend the model although sometimes with more of an eye on rhyme than reason (Chimera Consulting 2001).…

    Politicians are elected because of the issues they stand for; however, interest groups hold or weaken their agenda once they have been elected. Interest groups make good use of every available resource when sponsoring or overpowering their concern. These interest groups are composed of a body of voters with a stake in major or minor supported issues, and they make known the matter they are fighting for or against. By never giving up on their arguments and concerns, interest groups will make public demonstrations or displays. This persistence continues until they accomplish whatever the cause is that they are participating in.…

    So far Love’s belief—that hermeneutical close readings, due to their implied humanism, may produce a depth that is neither inherent, nor necessary to a text—has been expounded, along with her affinity for sociological practices of close observation and description.
