<p>New to democracy news is the recent announcement of the retirement of Service Employees International Union (SEIU) President, Andy Stern.  Some say that this is a sad for democratic politics, as they quote this statement in regards to the powerful influence that SEIU President, Andy Stern has had in the American democracy political realm.  The SEIU is a union that is made up of 1.9 million, so it is obvious that the role of the President is critical to the organization.  Many within the realm of democratic politics say that although the undeniable presence of Andy Stern will, in fact, be missed, the SEIU will continue to flourish.  Many of the great leaders within democratic politics have stated that his likely successor is bound to keep the ball rolling in the right direction.  The likely individual that is slated to rise up the plate is the union&#8217;s Secretary-Treasurer, Anna Burger.  Those within democratic politics have come to present a very promising response in reference to this recent democracy news.  They say that Abba Burger has worked quite closely with Andy Stern throughout the years in which they have collaborated their work efforts on some very tough issues, so he should be more than prepared to take on the upcoming projected role.</p>
<p>Democracy news continues with a new addition that has been added to democratic politics.  This next democracy news announcement gives true way to the theory of, you win some, you lose some.  The democracy news circuit has just announced who has been named the newest addition to democratic politics in the Senate.  Democracy news sources have announced that Democrat, Ted Deutch has just won the election for the Florida Senate seat.  Additionally, the democracy news circuit is stating that the candidate of democratic politics has won the seat by a major victory.  The democracy news had come to announce that just two hours after the voting had been finalized, democratic politics had claimed the victory.  Ted Deutch will succeed the retiring Democratic Senator, Robert Wexler.  Those that support democratic politics cheered the democratic victor on as he beamed with excitement, when making his recent address to democracy news after his win.  Avid supporters of democratic politics was also very happy to hear that Ted Deutch had made mention of the recent health care reform bill passage in his speech.</p>

<p>The Democratic National Committee is the largest most influential democratic committee in the United States of America.  The Democratic National Committee is a democratic committee that takes on the responsibility of overseeing the Democratic party on a consistent basis.  The Democratic National Committee was first formed on May 22, 1848.  This democratic committee had officially took its place in the world of politics at the 1848 Democratic National Convention.  The very first president of the democratic committee was Andrew Stevenson, a democratic politician of Virginia.  This is the leading democratic committee of the United States, because to date, the Democratic National Committee, because out of all the other democratic committees in the country, it has maintained being the reckoning force of the party since its inception.  In addition, this is a democratic committee that has assumed a large effort in performing the necessary fundraising initiatives that assist many of the politicians that belong to the democratic committee the capacity that they need to speak and act out on behalf of the party and its supporters.</p>
<p>There are also a number of democratic committees that have been formed on the county level in order to show support for those that share the same democratic viewpoints.  One of these democratic committees is the Hancock County Democratic committee.  This is one of the democratic committees that is currently taking the initiative to rally democrats for the upcoming elections.  Democratic committees know that there are a number of good Democratic candidates that are looking to serve in new offices, but they need that extra push from democratic committees to get the word out there about them.  There are also a number of democratic committees that are well aware that there are a number of Democratic politicians that are currently in office that are not eligible for re-election due to term limits.  Democratic committees, such as the Hancock County Committee are getting the world out about this prospects so that those gaps are more likely to be filled by members of the Democratic party.</p>
<p>Another of the county democratic committees is called the Lancaster Democratic Committee.  This is one of the democratic committees that prides itself by staying active within the Democratic community.  This is often translated by the number of events that the committee partakes in on a frequent basis.  From gatherings to fundraisers, the Lancaster Democratic Committee knows the importance of being able to join together in unison, not only to raise funds, but to also raise awareness and hold powerful discussions as to how the Democratic community can further execute its realm of influence to provoke positive change.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_25" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 490px"><a href="http://utahhousedemocrats.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Democratic-Politics.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-25" title="Democratic Politics" src="http://utahhousedemocrats.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Democratic-Politics.jpg" alt="Democratic Politics" width="480" height="359" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Democratic Politics</p></div>
<p>The term Democratic politics can be used to refer to two different political bodies. Democratic politics can be related to the regulation of a democracy, as well as the method by which policy is created and carried out. It can also be used to discuss the politics of the Democratic Party, one of the two primary political parties in the United States. A Democracy is a government that believes in majority rule and rule by the people. The democracy that is found in the United States today was formulated based on the Democratic model of the ancient Athenians. Around five hundred B.C. the ancient Athenians created and executed the world’s first true democracy. They developed a system of voting in which all Athenian citizens could voice their opinion about a specific policy or individual candidate. Ancient Athenian citizen’s were comprised of adult males who completed their military training. They would gather at an assembly and would be given a white stone and a black stone. The white stone represented ‘yes’, while the black stone stood for ‘no’. The Athenian citizens would cast a stone into a clay pot to express approval or disapproval for the policy or individual being discussed. Like that of Athenian’s democratic politics, the voting system in a current democracy seeks to incorporate the voice of every citizen. Democratic politics attempt to ensure that a government is determined by the people, and that the majority remains satisfied and content. As populations increase direct democracy is no longer a feasible option, so instead the people choose representatives to carry out their wishes through organized elections. Democratic politics also seek to protect individual’s rights and liberties as outlined in the American Constitution. These liberties include the right to freedom of speech, freedom of press, freedom of religion, and freedom of assembly.</p>
<p>There are two primary political parties that are present in the United States government. They are the Republican Party and the Democratic Party. Their views and opinions on the important issues differ a great deal. The Republican Party tends to have more conservative views, while the Democratic Party is usually more liberal. Democratic politics usually include a woman’s right to choose, as well as an improved health care system that is decent and affordable for all American’s. Democrats believe that the freedom of choice is essential and that a woman should have the right to choose to terminate a pregnancy if she believes that it is in her best interest. Democrats also offer support for gay and lesbian rights, though same sex marriage is always an issue that varies from person to person. Other Democratic politics include investing in alternative energy sources and providing federal funding for stem cell research. Many democrats believe that the development of alternative energy is the only thing that is going to help up to become independent of other nations. Without alternative energy sources the United States will always be trying to gain access to oil in other countries. Liberal democrats also believe that embryonic stem cell research is necessary in order to decrease suffering and increase survival rates.</p>

<p>In American politics, political thoughts and actions are often grouped into categories. The democrat category is one that focuses on individual liberties and Civil Rights. American politics is historically conservative in thought and practice. Meaning, that the practices of the average American citizen have followed tradition concerning; marriage, abortion, immigration, gun control, the first amendment, education, health care, etc&#8230; Democrats do not have one set way of thinking. The way they view important issues changes according to the time period the world is in. A democrat can also be affected by prominent current issues in a government. In America democrats are usually the most controversial of all political groups. They push the envelope from conservative thinking the, and fight to change the laws of the nation.</p>
<p>Certain states are more democrat than others in a American. Historically the east coast states like Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, and Rhode Island, and west coast states like California, and Nevada have been very much democrat. In Many of these states, individual constitutions incorporate new democrat ideas into the system. Massachusetts for example has passed gay marriage, a move that caused very controversial debates is Washington. Democrats in Massachusetts pushed for this change and now can marry within the same sex. Many conservatives feel that this undermines the original intentions of America&#8217;s forefathers. Democrats believe the exact opposite. Instead of assuming that the forefathers of America intended for the constitution to be interpreted one certain way, democrat Americans push for the same ideas to be interpreted differently. California is a democrat state that has made the use of marijuana legal for medical purposes. Many conservative politicians believe that this promotes illegal drug trafficking, marketing it easier for people to find drugs on streets. This change in the legal system has left the avenue open for other states to do the same. Hence changing the scope of America as a whole.</p>
<p>Most democrats are members of the democratic party in America. This is so because the democratic party pushes for more democrat ideas. In the post war period, democrats supported government intervention, and welfare. After the cold war democrat thought became more supportive of economic issues and moved closer to socialism. Now, democrats mostly support affirmative action, gay marriage, and a women&#8217;s right to choose. Because of democrat ideas, the United States now has an African American president who was elected by the majority. This country also has moved toward a health care plan that&#8217;s geared toward coverage for all citizens. People are creatures of habit, and accept things based on a majority. These changes are proof that democrats make an impact in the way people across the country think, and how government will operate for them.</p>
<p>democrats have been consistent in changing the scope of the country as a whole. In a democratic society like America, where the citizens have the power to change constitutions in every state individually, change is inevitable. A liberal citizen moves with the times, and  helps move a country toward growth.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_18" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 490px"><a href="http://utahhousedemocrats.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Political-Issues.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-18" title="Political Issues" src="http://utahhousedemocrats.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Political-Issues.png" alt="Political Issues" width="480" height="373" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Political Issues</p></div>
<p>In America political issues keep the country checked and balanced. These issues are used to distinguish people based on their political views and preferences. One of the most controversial issues to deal with is poverty. Political news  incorporates the need for aid and the lack of aid given by more fortunate countries to protect citizens.</p>
<p>Political news covers many different political topics, and many different ideas regarding them. A participant in politics supports issues such as constitutions, democracy, elections, civil rights, human rights, animal rights, free trade, economic issues, innovation, immigration, and much more. Many of these ideas are accepted by many groups in the United States, both political and private. Sometimes however political issues , incorporate intellectual accounts of issues like poverty and tradition of countries like the United States that don&#8217;t help out. These facts presented on issues like poverty make it apparent that even though an issue may be relevant it isn&#8217;t always a top priority for all countries involved.</p>
<p>Political issues like poverty first became prominent when class structures were formed, causing certain people to be forgotten. During this time many ideas were based of social status, religion, and the absolute power rule. Political news will shed light on these issues only to forget about them after. Most people are unaware that about twenty four thousand children die each day due to poverty each year and most people do nothing to help it. In places like Africa, and Asia the rate of poverty is way more extreme than that of the United States. Worst part about it is that it can be prevented.</p>
<p>The average person that lives in poverty lives off of just a little over a dollar a day. The bad thing is that political news is used to glorify celebrities and richer nations like the United States instead of focusing on the problem. Modern media do a great job of saturating the media when tragedy like the Virginia Tech shooting happened for days. The political news that was broadcast was ongoing for a long period of time, which is good for the United States. When issues of poverty arise for places that are less industrialized it is not televised as rapidly. In weeks span the political issues of America will have top priority on news stations across the globe, and issues that are far more important will not. These same political issues of poverty can be prevented very easily, if countries would send over substantial aid to other countries. This should become a priority because most of the problem starts with countries that are well off, due to globalization. International law requires countries to lend a helping hand to those in need and also provide substantial funds to help these countries not only cope with, but come out of poverty. Political news place an important role in spreading awareness on issues like poverty, they unfortunately do a horrible job. As a result, the severity of this issue is not felt and the need for assistance is not pushed. In order for an issue like poverty to become and issue of the past, people have to be informed.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_15" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 490px"><a href="http://utahhousedemocrats.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Liberal-democrats.gif"><img class="size-full wp-image-15" title="Liberal democrats" src="http://utahhousedemocrats.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Liberal-democrats.gif" alt="Liberal democrats" width="480" height="161" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Liberal democrats</p></div>
<p>In America political thought is grouped in categories. These categories are used to distinguish people based on their political views and preferences. One of the most controversial groups to fall in is the that of a liberal. Liberal democrats incorporate the belief that equality and liberty for every individual is most important. Liberal democrats cover many different political topics, and many different ideas regarding them. A participant in liberalism supports issues such as constitutions, liberal democracy, elections, civil rights, human rights, animal rights, free trade, economic issues, innovation, immigration, and much more. Many of these ideas are accepted by many groups in the United States, both political and private. Sometimes however liberal politics, incorporates intellectual trends and tradition. This fact makes it every changing and innovative, with a constant need to reinvent itself to go along with the times.</p>
<p>liberal politics first became prominent during the time of the great John Locke. During this time many ideas were based of social status, religion, and the absolute power rule. John Lock introduced the idea that government should be reflective of those that it governed. This new form of governing opened the door for change to be brought about change in an arena that was stale in  thought. Ideas of liberal politics like the fundamental right to life, liberty, and property are actually at the base of the constitution. This gives leeway for politics to constantly change to the more liberal form its in today.</p>
<p>Later, during the French and American revolutions, liberal democrats  are often used  to get rid of autocratic rule. Modern history is based off of liberal politics that keeps nations free of Tyranny. Citizens have the ability to choose who governs and for how long. Before these revolutions, governments were fun by wealthy families, and rulers, instead of average citizens, and government officials. Later, liberals and politics  helped to end race wars between Americans in the sixties. Many people began to revolt against government policies and race relations in America, to unite people based on more important factors other than race. Even during conservative times as the sixties liberal politics broke the mold to ensure political growth in the future.</p>
<p>Because of these times in history, liberal politics consists of more organized political groups and organizations that lobby toward important issues of today. Liberal democrats also played a decisive role in the growth of republics, the spread of civil rights and civil, the establishment of the modern welfare state, the institution of religious toleration and religious freedom, and the development of globalization. Currently issues like gay marriage, drug trafficking, religion, and abortion are issues that liberalism focuses on. Liberal politics is a vague category in politics and can be used to change many things.</p>
<p>The Unites States and the world are using liberal thought to change governments and its people. Old ideas in a new world are unnecessary and do not work to the advantage of any nation or its people. Liberal democrats ensure that a nation and its people do not remain stagnant, but that they grow with the times.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_12" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 490px"><a href="http://utahhousedemocrats.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Political-Party.gif"><img class="size-full wp-image-12" title="Political Party" src="http://utahhousedemocrats.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Political-Party.gif" alt="Political Party" width="480" height="339" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Political Party</p></div>
<p>In the United States, politics is broken up into categories known as political parties. These parties were established to provide a specific following and keep the country true to some sort of system. Many people in America cannot tell the difference between parties and usually tag along side a family member in determining which party they belong to. The largest two political parties that exist are republicans and democrats. These two are located at opposite ends of the political spectrum. The conservative side of politics is the Republican party. This political party is used to clean cut American values and believe in hard work and dedication. Most people that are apart of this political party are very old school and do not like issues like abortion, welfare, gay marriage, universal health care, and lower taxes. The republican political party have been known to keep the rich people richer and the poor people poorer by increasing the taxes on the poor and decreasing them for the rich. Now a days, this was of thinking has been shut down by the new generation of liberal democrats and moderate republicans. The other political party is the democratic party. This political party is one that is more on the liberal side and fights for Civil Rights for all people. They are the new school of politics in the United States and do not like issues like higher taxes, privatized health care, pro life abortion, and marriage dictated by the government. These individuals are usually the ones pushing the envelope. Most democrats are in favor of new ideas and policies that roll with the times. These two political parties are used as a tool to check and balance decisions being made in the capital. The majority of the United States are a part of these political parties.</p>
<p>Even though the democrat and republican parties take up the majority, there is another party known as the liberal party. This political party is the most controversial of all the parties. The individuals in this usually favor issues that look out for the interest of the individual. They believe that governments  should interfere on a limited basis and should not control everything a person does. These political parties offer diversity in the political arena, and make for great debate. If there was an absence of objection to issues of a given party, than the country would always stay the same. Change is inevitable and the Untied States changes constantly, which requires that laws and amendments get changed. This also requires that law be created to focus on new issues that face the population, with input from that population. In democracy elected officials are put into office by the people in the community. Each individual in a given community has a different and unique issue of there own that deserves to be heard and considers. The system of debate between opposing sides ensures that the system will remain up to date. That&#8217;s why it is extremely important for many political parties to exist at a time.</p>

<p>Running a political campaign is one of the most stressful jobs that there could possibly be. A political campaign requires long hours and demanding scheduling. This mean time away from family and long hard hours of trailing on the road. During a political campaign the main goal is to win the election in which the candidate is running for. The drawback is that both opposing parties will be hard at work taking the necessary steps to victory, and in the end there is only one winner that is awarded. This fact alone makes the process extremely stressful and full of pressure. One campaign team will be praised for all of the terrific work that was done during the political campaign and one team will be told how unsuccessful they are and probably get fired, Many times political campaign get nasty and turn into a game of finger pointing and political promises.</p>
<p>During a political campaign for president of the united states many times the vice presidential pick is a make or moment. In the two thousand and eight campaign for the president of the United States between Barack Obama and John McCain was a long and hard battle. The one defeating moment for the Republican Johan McCain was when he elected new comer Sarah Palin to his political ticket. She to most people was a ignorant woman who had no idea to run a country. When something like this happens in political campaigns, the only outcome is losing. People automatically became fearful that the country was in jeopardy, so much so that the majority of Americans elected Senator Barack Obama, an African American over McCain, for the first time ever. Every decision made on the campaign trail is crucial because once the faith of the people is lost, they will turn their backs on a candidate in a heart beat Political campaigns are the easiest way for political unknowns to become well known politicians whether they win or not. This political campaign in particular went down in history for many reasons, including the fact the Barack Obama ran a grassroots campaign. Grassroots means that he used the support of American citizens and did not use money from lobbyists or organizations with special interests. This was historical because in the United States most political figures use money given by special interest groups in exchange for a specific policy change. This is how politics get corrupted and how the people or citizens of a country are paid a disservice. Additionally, it was the first time that a political figure became president so soon after joining the senate. Barack Obama had only been a senator for a year before becoming president of the Untied States of America. Political campaigns can be very fun and exciting, especially when they are history making like the one listed above. However, when someone loses a political campaign is very hard to see them this way. Nevertheless, when conducting political campaigns it is most essential to the win that a nominee stay true to hi/her followers.</p>

<p>The study of politics is essential to everyone because it is incorporated into everyday life. Political games are played in every arena from government, religion, education, employment, and personal. Politics is the process of decision making. This is essential in every arena, being that decisions make things happen, and decisions are made everyday. The politics of a given situation may have to do with gain for someone involved, or because doing something makes another situation better. In government politics is used to negotiate laws and amendments. Usually in a democracy like the United States parties negotiate different political issues in hopes to come to some sort of agreement or negotiation. This happens on every governmental level including local, state, and national. Political issues are debated to form this country in a way that is beneficial to all people involved. Many times politics creates controversy throughout communities based on decisions that are made. For the most part however, political negotiations usually are made with the elected official s constituency in mind.</p>
<p>In the world of religion, politics is used as a tool to get what is wanted. Lobbyist usually work hard to the support of a particular piece of legislation by offering a following from a given religion. And most political figure would rather have the support of large religious groups in hopes to gain support during an election year and or a campaign. Religion is a very important factor in lives of many, and most people tend to lean toward the politics of the church. This is because most people join churches because they believe in them and in the message that they may stand for. Abortion is a political issue that many religions have a problem with, and most of the elected officials that are in favor of it lose support of these religions. In educational setting politics is more relevant that most people think. Governments often run schools and control the supplies they are allotted each year, and provide them with a fiscal yearly budget. When cuts are made toward education, teachers, superintendents and other educational officials stop voting for those officials. Politics exists in personal lives as well. In the professional arena politics is used to delegate authority and seniority. Many times it is used when two parties compete for a specific job.  when new employees are hired. Aside from the obvious political participation that most citizen engage in, it exists within families. Parents set rules that children must follow, and make decisions for them as well. Many times people think of politics as a bad thing when most of the time its just negotiating that is taking place. People negotiate everyday, even in the smallest instances. Most of the time people only make the correlation between government and politics, when they engage in it daily as well. Political decision making is useful, at least in the United States, because it keeps the country in check. Politicians make up laws that the average American must follow, and that keeps control.</p>
