Fixing the Presidential Public Financing System -
The Presidential Candidate’s Pledge to Reduce the Role of Special Interest Money in Presidential Elections was drafted by six national reform organizations: Common Cause, Democracy 21, League of Women Voters, Public Campaign Action Fund, Public Citizen and USPIRG. These groups have formed the Presidential Public Financing Reform Project to promote major improvements to the presidential campaign finance system by reducing the role of special interest money in presidential elections, increasing the importance of public financing in the primaries, and making enactment of reforms a priority for the presidential candidates and for Congress.

Multiparty Democracy Needed Now
Diane Cardwell Writer For The NY Times Comment's On Professor Doug Muzzio of School Of Public Affairs at Baruch College (who says) - Chief policy-program goal seems to be the creation of a multiparty system or at least creating the conditions for the emergence of such a system and that "the system influenced not only the type of political parties that exist but also the type of candidates voters have to choose from" and went in the article on to say "ultimately, they determine the political stability and the legitimacy of the system itself.".

Open The Debates
INTRODUCTION - CHALLENGING THE TWO-PARTY SYSTEM IN THE CONTEXT OF AMERICAN POLITICAL DEVELOPMENT
On average, 60 percent of Americans tell pollsters that they are in favor of third party alternatives. Republicans and Democrats have been able to maintain their dominance and no third party has representation in the U.S. Congress or is in contention for control of any state legislature. John Bibby and Sandy Maisel explained that the two-party system has come as a surprise to observers of American society:
That the United States should have the oldest and strongest two-party system on the globe is for many, particularly for foreign observers, a bewildering phenomenon. America appears to have all the ingredients for a vibrant and enduring multiparty system--an increasingly multiracial and multiethnic population, substantial regional variation, diverse and conflicting economic and social interests, a history of sectional conflicts, and substantial disparities in the distribution of wealth.
Open and Inclusive Debates
Public debates afford voters an opportunity to learn about their candidates in ways that campaign literature, television ads, radio commercials, and the internet do not. The pseudo-governmental bipartisan Commission on Presidential Debates should be abolished in its current in favor of a non-partisan body that sets equitable criteria for the inclusion of candidates at the presidential level. Local non-partisan bodies should also serve to facilitate debates.
Page campaigns individual political persuasion is clearly and precisely, "let whomever wins" the majority of votes declare themself winner though with this contingency "that only however after open media aired debates" as under presumption that presidential sanctioned debates, featuring well financed parties and thier candidates are predetermined as public announcement, and do consist here of three 3 (three) or more participants. This would be the minnimal appearings of our democratic elections platform in as such, our free enterprised and capitalist world diplomacy. Less than 3 candidates equally covered in media is nothing less than "majoritarian closed government rule" and an oligarchy, brewing next full blown "aristocracy" dominating by class rule as we've seen the 2000 elections fail to work all along the process.
Since barring the third party candidates by separation of constitutional powers, (9.13.2000 - Nader/Buchannan) from public presidential debates for whatever no good reason, you (we) have "no fair options" in our vote booth. You have to (must) choose one or the other "main parties" and leadership labels that a choice. Be a smart voting citizen. Say NO to 1x2-party anarchial totalitarianism where control is absolute. USGP

Issues and Party Competition Under Alternative Electoral Systems
Jeffrey A. Karp and Susan A. Banducci University of Waikato, New Zealand
Proximity and directional spatial models yield different predictions for mass-elite linkages under alternative
electoral systems. Whereas the proximity or Downsian model predicts that parties are likely to adopt positions
that are closer to their voters, the alternative directional model predicts parties will adopt more extreme positions
in order to generate political support among an electorate that has diffuse policy interests (Macdonald and
Rabinowitz, 1989; Macdonald et al., 1991; Rabinowitz et al., 1991). Theoretical arguments lead us to expect that the
directional model is most applicable in plurality systems, while the proximity model is best for describing party
and voter behaviour in multiparty systems. While others have examined these models from a cross-national
perspective, we employ an alternative research design using candidate and mass opinion data from New Zealand,
where voters have experienced a change in the electoral system.
EDITORIAL DRAFT DOCUMENT UNITED STATES PUBLISHER
^U International Consortium and Colloquium
My planning document is preparred for organizers in a multiparty democracy system as reinstated polygonal and presently a working campaign in the United States that is fast moving toward geo-political economic cooperation for anyones use in sharing and formating their own word documents, as "proposed legislation" on same topics declaring "public rights and freedoms." I'm NOT entering politics nor am I running for office nor, lawyer or an elite though do have great or some "publication credibility or recognition" as managing and editing Producers of more than "ephemeral print document appearance." I began net publishing with, and will finish if possible "voicing platforms for regular or common people - so a Voice For Future
Generations." The need for a multiparty polygonal electorate college is not incompatable nor inconsistant with the need for greater awareness of global rising of "secret government," legal anarchy and some terrorism. It is my concern in and for this word proposal to see a "central document" emerge as co-initiators of "campaign reform" move ahead for an Equal Campaign Rights Amendment and with some consideration of the highlights of this page and with discussions of the independent movement.
Now in 1993 voters in New Zealand approved a referendum changing its electoral system from
a plurality or "first past the post" (FPP) to proportinal representation (PR). The adoption or PR
represents a radical change from majoritarian to a consensus democracy. There are no current
empirical studies on how "change in the electoral system" has altered the relationship between
elites and voters... UNLESS Comparative Politics Studies Of - The Size Of Government In Majoritarian And Consensus Democracies
Party Institutionalization In New Democracies
Vicky Randall University of Essex and Lars Svåsand University of Bergen
The literature on democratisation emphasises the contribution of political parties, and in that context the
importance of party institutionalization. But this concept remains relatively unexplored. Our article first considers
the relationship between party institutionalization and party system institutionalization, pointing out that they are
not necessarily convergent. We then review the existing literature on party institutionalization, indicating
weaknesses and contradictions, before offering our own analytic model. In the final section we identify some of
the key considerations arising when this model is applied to the particular circumstances of democratic transition
in the Third World.
Target five institution parties of presidential candidacies and achieve four or three contenders anyway in a popular state-for-state vote tally outcome, with the otherwise "not yet to date third party," there next achieving a second or first place outcome with recommendation through continued use of the "electoral college" which is based on prior popular state vote tallies. The Twenty First Star Is The Star Located As Our "4th Star In The 4th Row" Of Our US Flag and aim going into the new century and millennium was to have four parties in the 20 O4 presidential elections. This Post and the "Twenty
Zeros" records will be updated regularly and posted here for your viewing
pleasure. Please note that when 3 contending candicacies rise before the electoral count, there would require "only but" 181 electoral votes "to clinch" in the near tie and if when with 4 contenders in a close race splitting up the votes "136 would win out over the other 3 recieving 135 electoral votes." The Elections 2000 Dilema though distances itself and does dimminish when 3 or more contenders battle out in the electoral college. It should and must follow then that when more than 2 candidates are nearing a tie the one with the most electoral votes simply wins a decision as does in a close 2-candidate race.
Frushour Twenty Zeros Report - With MANY NEW organizations based in our soil and too internationally so represented the question is asked "Why Fewer Choices To select From?"
Proposed Law for Senate Commissioning as committeed to oblige public campaigns and candidates of strong party contention, to recommend in their each address to voters as a first campaign order and party agenda, "the new C.M.R.C. ( Campaign Media Reform Action) retroactive, in escalation of their platforms to favorable public conditions with News Media, which with their purposed platform for President and Vice-President election overtones their sought for political outcome(s) of and by a "4-year by 4-year" campaign, as their personal career choosing and presented us by public announcement and under resolutional authorized 21st century transnational democracy law (purviewed with United Nations statistically proceeding) and as our statute by legislation, to "law and major enacting of ECRA."
The above proposal goes beyond legal theory to realm of probability because where democracy as we once knew may now only be possible as put forth in a "campaign media reform bill" for 3rd and peripheral party debate agenda, in "this of concepts widely, my multiparty reality" there so is proportional representative consensus for national election speaking or stumping venues.
An "Equal Campaign Rights Amendment" Would Be An Campaign Media Reform Crusade to sponsor a resolution calling any and all media reporting in the U.S. with exclusions to World Wide Web secured participant applications of electronic media and/or "further out and over there with any legal provisions of content," should record minutely to the Commission On Ethics and Violations (two distinct matters)
"equal acurate air-timed minutes" for each Candidates news or ad coverage or be in violation and subject to judicial investigations in accordance with federal or state laws or both.

How Transnational Factors Influence the Success OF Ethnic, Religious and Regional Parties in 21 States
Livianna S. Tossutti University of Calgary, Canada
This article explores whether ethnic, religious and regional parties in 21 advanced capitalist democracies are more
likely to achieve political salience in systems which have been more exposed to the effects of globalization and
post-industrialization. Globalist-localist scholars have argued that the new localism - which encompasses the
post-war resurgence of decentralist political movements - is linked to intensified international interdependence
and changes in production and consumption modes. Using quasi-likelihood statistical methods, we find that
parties catering to particularist interests are more likely to participate in ruling coalitions to support minority
governments, or to serve as the official opposition in countries that have been relatively insulated from
transnational forces. While domestic economic conditions and a party's lifespan and programmatic orientation
also influence the probability for success, domestic institutional arrangements such as electoral systems and the
division of powers do not.
Page editor asks viewer consideration of last statement above paragraph as reference to successes (to a point) using the electoral college as was usefully productive in U.S elections 2000, though event partisan by interjection to halt vote counts by our Supreme Court, or elsewise this previous essay, whether for argument or premise, as a syllogism is all too appearing ambiguous.
This is a Twenty Zeros special internet report. I'm Randy Frushour. The new Year, Decade, Century and Millennium an unparalleled era with significant "beginnings and statehood" and in particulars with unprecidented "U.S. political party moves" is which cradle activities of our present campaign reform motioning.
A WORD FROM THE PUBLISHER 2-27-2001
Expanded word documents will be published in the proceeding months as for " implementing needed change" for elections "backup support" and also as a safety net while set in place here for legislatings this date, as the "U S Multiparty Democratic Campaign" in concert with the "Independent Appeal", a partnered vertical document as established purview for presidential campaigns, debates and elections reform headlining dialog of serious question as today presented in turn by "larger and more" grass roots interest groups or organizations. This suggests so, belief that these priors lend to and can lead with only one solution which is resolutioning a "US multiparty democratic system institutionalization" campaigned and run electorally. Your annotated comments are requested and can upon request remain private as published or be made public and known! On page certain points "are just thoughts of my own" as I view matters.

Your Help Is Appreciated And Important. A $60 single donation would nicely support two word publications for referendum. A "Million Independents March On Washington" is being planned. 1,000,000 petitioned signatures are sought and your any contribution is appreciated for appropriate publicity. Mail and send to CUIP.ORG There is in our land risen a "civil rights dictatorship travesty" of the (1x2) 2-for-1 party system now clearly with totalitarian and majoritarian control in America to obviously be seen in post-Bush era. You should contact leadership N O W at CUIP "The Committee For A Unified Independent Party" ready or able to put an Independent in the White House soon. Please don't concern yourself with who or what candidacy and or party forges for now but "know right now" and join us today now. My work as Office USGP and at "United Debates Of America is to concern candidates or leaders of Organization to consider other than "Republican or Democrat" platformed institutions while not with objection to these political parties as individual forces. My thinking is that policy makers may consider a model of bureaucracy where such now "as Apartheid in Africa - separating the racial groups" and or nominally maybe next "a multipartite which divides party-type voters, political support and States into a three-party institute, I had envisaged none of but rather a better Cadilac than the last, having democracy reinstated as polygonal and aggrandized, wreck proof and organized moreso other than with the 2-party (1x2) operating system, incorporating peripheral multiple-parties that will always root along with democracy. That as such, the Conference whould and should appear abroad as reflects multilateral conference or emergence.
