"Fossil Fuel Ads Dominate TV in Campaign"

NYT
<http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/14/us/politics/fossil-fuel-industry-opens-wallet-to-defeat-obama.html?_r=1&ref=politics>:
With nearly two months before Election Day on Nov. 6, estimated
spending on television ads promoting coal and more oil and gas
drilling or criticizing clean energy has exceeded $153 million this
year, according to an analysis by The New York Times of 138 ads on
energy issues broadcast this year by the presidential campaigns,
political parties, energy companies, trade associations and
third-party spenders.
That tally is nearly four times the $41 million spent by
clean-energy advocates, the Obama campaign and Democratic groups to
defend the president's energy record or raise concerns about global
warming and air pollution. The Times rated presidential campaign and
national policy ads by whether they promoted fossil fuels or pushed
clean energy and conservation, regardless of their sponsors, using
ad and spending data compiled by Kantar Media
<http://www.kantarmedia.com/>, a company that tracks television
advertising.

*Who Can Vote? And How Will They Be Informed?*
/*A New America Foundation Delve into '12 Event*/
*Tuesday, September 18, 2012*
*12:15 p.m. -- 1:45 p.m.*

The question of exactly how American citizens exercise their right to
vote has become a source of partisan acrimony this election year. In a
nation whose patchwork of jurisdictions feature conflicting voter ID and
registration requirements, lawmakers must safeguard the integrity of the
electoral process and also ensure the widespread accessibility of voting.
Tensions have peaked in response to legislative efforts to tighten ID
requirements in key battleground states. The investigative student-run
reporting project News21 sought to analyze the facts behind this
controversial issue. Led by former /Washington Post /Executive Editor
Len Downie, the young journalists conducted the most exhaustive study to
date of the voting laws and electoral fraud nationwide.
Join New America and News21 to learn more about the findings of this
editorial series and the broader issue affecting this year's
election. We will also examine the latest innovations in online voter
information from Google and the Internet Archive.

Announcement via email:
*The Brennan Center for Justice*
/presents/
*"Empowering Small Donors, Reviving Democracy"
*
*Tuesday, October 2, 2012
6:30 -- 8:30 p.m.*
*Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law*
161 Avenue of the Americas, 12th Floor
New York, NY 10013
Join the Brennan Center in the second installment of a panel series
examining the future of public financing for political campaigns. At
this event, legal scholars and advocates will discuss the impact that
small donor matching funds can have on civic participation and the
hydraulics of democracy. Participants will also discuss how public
campaign financing can effectively respond to the threat of unlimited
outside spending in the aftermath of /Citizens United/.
Panelists include:
* *Lawrence Lessig*, professor of law at Harvard Law School, Director
of the Edmund J. Foundation Center for Ethics and Harvard
University, and author of /Republic, Lost: How Money Corrupts
Congress--and a Plan to Stop It/.
* *Fred Wertheimer*, Founder and President of Democracy 21, a
nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that works to strengthen our
democracy and promotes government integrity, accountability and
transparency measures to accomplish its goals. Co-author of a new
report, /Empowering Small Donors in Federal Elections/, with the
Brennan Center's Adam Skaggs.
* *Richard Briffault*, Joseph P. Chamberlain Professor of Legislation
at Columbia Law School and author of numerous publications on the
topics of campaign finance reform and election law.
* *Monica Youn*, the inaugural Brennan Center Constitutional Fellow at
NYU School of Law, where she focuses on election law and First
Amendment issues, and former director of the Brennan Center's Money
in Politics program.
Refreshments will be served.

Ari Berman Less Optimistic About Reversal in PA Voter ID Case

The state supreme court is split three to three between Democrats
and Republicans (a fourth Republican judge was suspended after using
public funds on her campaign). Thus four votes are needed to
overturn the lower court's decision. The Democratic judges spoke
frequently and asked pointed questions of the state. The Republicans
judges, with the occasional exception of Saylor, said almost
nothing. Chief Justice Ronald Castille, who overturned the GOP's
redistricting plans and is thought to be the swing justice on the
court, stayed mostly silent and appeared irritated, at times, with
the outspoken Democrats. "We got three votes but that doesn't help
us," Vic Walczak, legal director for the Pennsylvania ACLU, told me
after the hearing. "We need a fourth."
