Subject: page proofs for Election Law (2d edition) casebook
This message is for list members who plan to teach a fall course using
Daniel H. Lowenstein and Richard L. Hasen, Election Law--Cases and
Materials (Carolina Academic Press 2001).
The final page proofs for the casebook will be completed early next
week. This is later than we had planned, but our plans got delayed when
Dan suffered a torn retina. (He has had two surgical procedures that
seem to have corrected the problem completely.)
If you would like final page proofs of any of the chapters (a list of
chapters appears below), please contact Mr. Tim Colton at Carolina
Academic Press beginning Monday at <tim@cap-press.com>. If you need to
call him, his number is 919/489-7486, ext. 125. The teacher's manual
will be available from Carolina Academic Press in a few weeks. (If you
are teaching the class for the first time and want the current (mostly
complete) draft of the teacher's manual e-mailed to you, send me a
private message.)
Given this unavoidable delay, it is likely that the book will not arrive
in time for the very beginning of some instructors' fall classes.
Carolina Academic Press will work with you and your students. One
option is that the publisher can post some chapters to its website for
students to download with a password. Again, contact Tim with these
requests. In any event, the book should be in the bookstores soon after
classes begin.
I hope this doesn't inconvenience any of the users of the book too
much. If there's anything I can do to help, please contact me in a
private message. Thanks.

<p>WASHINGTON (AP) -- Documents that the Democratic Party and unions have=
sued to keep secret reveal a campaign strategy in which labor and party =
officials served side-by-side on committees that directed the Democrats' =
election activities in each state.</p>
<p>While labor's support of Democrats is well known, the documents show l=
abor leaders had veto power over Democratic Party plans in 1996 by virtue=
of their large donations and seats on the steering committees in each st=
ate.</p>
<p>``When the DNC and its National partners including ... the AFL-CIO and=
the NEA (National Education Association) agree on the contents of a plan=
, each national partner will give their funding commitment to the state,'=
' an internal DNC memo titled ``Rules of Engagement'' said.</p>
<p>Lawrence Noble, the nation's former top election regulator, told The A=
ssociated Press on Thursday he was surprised by the degree of control uni=
ons held over Democratic decisions. Noble headed the investigation into G=
OP charges of illegal coordination between the unions and Democrats.</p>
<p>``The AFL had a certain amount of control over what political parties =
and candidates did. That is what is striking,'' Noble said.</p>
<p>The AFL-CIO donated $35 million in 1996.</p>
<p>At the request of the Democratic Party and labor unions, a federal jud=
ge has forbidden the Federal Election Commission from releasing the docum=
ents it gathered during its four-year probe.</p>
<p>AP obtained the documents from officials involved in various federal i=
nvestigations of unions and from groups that got some documents when they=
were briefly released by the FEC this spring, then abruptly pulled from =
public display under threat of litigation.</p>
<p>The documents detail extensive discussions between labor and party lea=
ders on how to contact, register and influence voters to support Democrat=
s and show where unions in some instances drew their money to accomplish =
the mission.</p>
<p>In one case, a New York hospital workers union, Local 1199, spent $250=
,000 from its strike defense fund for a $2.7 million effort called the '9=
6 Project' aimed at holding congressional Republicans accountable for the=
ir support of Newt Gingrich's ``Contract with America,'' the records show=
=2E</p>
<p>Frequently, officials from the Democratic Party or its congressional f=
und-raising arms contacted union officials to seek approval for election =
activities.</p>
<p>For instance, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee official Rob=
Engel wrote AFL-CIO political official Steve Rogers in September 1996 to=
discuss phone banks and direct mail efforts aimed at identifying voters =
and getting them to the polls in 16 target congressional districts.</p>
<p>``We request the AFL-CIO review these budgets and programs. If you app=
rove them, we ask that you encourage your affiliated unions to contribute=
to each congressional district coordinated campaign,'' Engel wrote.</p>
<p>DCCC operatives followed up a few days later with a second memo. ``Att=
ached is our updated and improved requests for your big bucks,'' it said.=
</p>
<p>Around the time, the AFL-CIO ran ads in several of the same congressio=
nal districts portraying Republican candidates as out of touch with worke=
r issues and Democrats as union-friendly, the FEC concluded.</p>
<p>John Hiatt, AFL-CIO general counsel, acknowledged the union had veto p=
ower over Democratic activities it helped finance.</p>
<p>``For aspects of campaigns we subsidize, I think we would want veto po=
wer,'' Hiatt said. ``We may have veto power over issues or aspects we're =
working on, as other groups the Democrats are working with would want to =
keep control over things they're working on.''</p>
<p>In North Carolina, the documents show, state AFL-CIO President Chris S=
cott and North Carolina NEA President John Wilson each served on the mana=
gement committee that handled day-to-day operations.</p>
<p>In Nebraska, the state party gave AFL-CIO and teachers union officials=
similar positions on its executive committee alongside officials from Be=
n Nelson's Senate campaign and other candidates. A state party memo said =
``labor will play a key role'' in a party-run effort to contact 150,000 h=
ouseholds twice during the fall campaign.</p>
<p>The national blueprint for the coordinated campaigns stated flatly tha=
t before state parties could implement their election plans they had to b=
e ``submitted with a signature page which demonstrates the formal sign of=
f of the principal players for each representative of the Steering Commit=
tee.''</p>
<p>The contacts were so extensive that Noble, the FEC's chief lawyer, ini=
tially concluded the two sides had illegally coordinated. The commission =
eventually abandoned that finding and closed the case after a federal jud=
ge ruled in an unrelated case that such coordination may be protected by =
First Amendment free speech.</p>
<p>But the FEC's final report, stamped ``sensitive,'' still concluded tha=
t the AFL-CIO had ``apparent veto power'' over the Democrats' election de=
cisions in the states. The unions had the ``authority to approve or disap=
prove plans, projects and needs of the DNC and its state parties with res=
pect to the coordinated campaign,'' the report said.</p>
<p>Noble said he thinks the FEC should have appealed the court ruling and=
punished the Democrats and the unions for illegal coordination.</p>
<p>Noble said business groups allied with Republicans also have growing c=
lout in elections. ``You have a political system in large part controlled=
by special interests, whether it be AFL on one side with Democrats, or b=
usiness interests with the Republicans,'' he said.</p>
<p>In addition to each state party's coordinated committee, the DNC creat=
ed a national steering committee that included party officials, a represe=
ntative of the Clinton-Gore campaign as well as two officials from the AF=
L-CIO, one from the NEA and one from the Emily's List political action co=
mmittee.</p>
<p>DNC general counsel Joseph Sandler told the FEC that the national comm=
ittee met six or eight times to develop and implement the coordinated cam=
paigns, as well as discuss financing.</p>
