About the Blog

I shall post videos, graphs, news stories, and other material. We shall use some of this material in class, and you may review the rest at your convenience. I encourage you to use the blog in these ways:

--To post questions or comments about the readings before we discuss them in class;
--To follow up on class discussions with additional comments or questions.
--To post relevant news items or videos.

There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges. This blog is on the open Internet, so post nothing that you would not want a potential employer to see.

Campaign Finance Policy Issue

A fascinating 60 minutes video on a loophole in federal law that allows for politicians to use their leadership PACs to spend money on lavish personal items. Also delves into how campaigns (especially in non-competitive races) pay family members tens of thousands of dollars to work on their campaigns. This might be good issues for someone to look into for their final policy paper.
