• Rick Perry Offers Feast of Reform Ideas ; 'Uproot and Overhaul' Would Affect All Three Branches of Government

Despite the teeter-tottering polls that rise and fall with the latest news cycle, one thing is abundantly clear: The Republican nominee will have a plan - and not just a plan to make Barack Obama a one-term president. Every Republican candidate, despite his or her polling position, has released solutions to rebuild the economy; put Americans back to work; end reckless spending, debt and borrowing; and restore the American dream. As a follow-up to his energy policy, Texas Gov. and Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry announced his "Uproot and Overhaul Plan" on Nov. 15 at the Schebler Co.'s manufacturing facility in Bettendorft, Iowa.

• Three Branches of Government 'Good for the People'

Although most people think their own way and live their own lives there are those who make sure we do certain things. The U.S. government takes over pretty much all of the "citizens'" lives. Even with free will, laws are very powerful and can either help our lives or ruin them (depending on who you are and what you do.) Obviously humans need laws and rules to be followed or else everyone would be going crazy and turn into "savages" without any limits. That's where our government steps in.

• Political Cycles, Partisan Orientation, Gridlock, and Reit Returns

This study examines several aspects of the relationship between the presidential election cycle in the United States, political party in power, government gridlock, and real estate investment trust (REIT) excess returns. The study covers the period February 1972 through January 2007. The results indicate that REITs are significantly influenced by the political environment, and the nature of the association is more complex than often perceived. REITs provide higher excess returns: (a) under the joint condition that the Fed pursues an expansionary monetary policy and the Republican Party controls the White House, (b) during the last two years of the president's term, especially during Republican administrations, and (c) when there is political unity in the executive and legislative branch...

• Retired High Court Justice Backs Civics Lessons

LOS ANGELES - Only about a third of American adults can name all three branches of government, and a third can't name any. Fewer than a third of eighth-graders could identify the historical purpose of the Declaration of Independence. This slim knowledge of civics - and the potential risk it poses to American democracy - captured the attention of retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.

• Democracy in Crisis: Strategies to Transform Civic Education

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Only a third of Americans can name the three branches of government. Almost three years into President Barack Obama's term, nearly one in three Americans mistakenly believe he is Muslim. A similar percentage believed that President George W. Bush was complicit in the 9/11 terrorist plot. Just a third of the country's students scored proficient on the most recent nationwide assessment of civics. And Jay Leno regularly gets laughs with his "Jay Walking" routine, which highlights examples of civic ignorance. Civic learning has reached a new low. At a time when the country is mired in a debt crisis and productive public discourse has been replaced by divisive rhetoric and a disregard for facts, Americans lack the basic civic knowledge to become eng...
