End Citizens United Backs Katie Porter

You have to be someone of excellent character and integrity to make a project on EMILY’s List’s, namely WOMEN VOTE!, and End Citizens United pay attention to you. Of course, it is not the attention that would make a person noteworthy. However, the reasons why these organizations would put some energy into raising awareness for anyone is intriguing, to say the least.

For voters in California’s 45th congressional district, Katie Porter fits the bill nicely. One good reason why she holds awesome potential for the job is her career as a UC Irvine Law professor and a servant of the everyday citizen. At times, she conflicts with the interest of Wall Street big-banking clans. As a matter of fact, she has decades of experience, expertise and service in her record.

Perhaps most importantly and fittingly, she refuses to take campaign donations from corporate PAC organizations. Porter has the endorsements of Senator Elizabeth Warren and Senator Kamala Harris, for her progressive stance in politics. She is a staunch advocate for investment in public education. And, she absolutely sees the value in the establishment of Planned Parenthood and the Affordable Care Act.

The attention Katie Porter garnishes from WOMEN VOTE and ECU is a direct mail and digital advertising campaign platform. This platform’s purpose is to introduce Porter to the building public and educate them on her goals. The campaign itself is looking for a very particular set of Voters. It intends to reach Democratic women who are also unaffiliated and under the age of 30.

The true target audience are those who voted in the 2016 general election and also in a following Primary election. The net casted also allows for these female voters who took part in a 2014 or 2012 Primary. Just for a good measure, the eight-piece plans includes voters who restistered in November of 2016. Its target is more than 200,000 different voters in 50,000 different households.

It is a fairly huge project which requires a good amount of resources. However, both of these organizations are more than capable of handling the task through cooperation. WOMEN VOTE! operates independently since 1995, and End Citizens United continues to make waves and push progress year after year in politics. Katie Porter could not ask for a better source of campaign recognition. She also has a fair amount of personal interest in the current events of politics and social affairs, as a mother.

Going with PSI Pay into the Future

“Digital-wallet” is a term that’s been spread around and heard by many but not many understand what exactly a digital-wallet is. As they try to make their way into the mainstream it’ll be heard even more over time so the more knowledge on digital-wallets, the better.

As technology grows so does the economy. Before cash was used coins were the best form of currency to use when making transactions. Now cards and cryptocurrencies seem to be taking over the way of paying someone. As all of this expands into new territory digital-wallets become more valuable by giving the user less hassle of dealing with physical cards, papers, etc being in their wallet. Digital-wallets are said to be able to protect the user’s whole wallet all while making transactions more simple too.

PSI Pay is being currently being used in Europe allowing for users to not only make faster transactions but convert currencies on the fly. PSI Pay allows the user to put funds into their digital-wallet from their cards, PayPal, bank transfers, and more if they’re part of Kerv. This gives an open path for users to have direct access to everything they may need when dealing with a transaction. One of the only downsides of a digital-wallet, like the one PSI Pay offers, is that they’re not protected by banks in any way so having a large sum of money in the wallet at one time and then having it get lost some way could lead to a mess of problems. This is what makes the protection offered by PSI Pay and other digital-wallets so valuable though. Having the crypto protection allows for the user to not even have to worry about money being lost or stolen in the first place.

With a whole new form of currency and wallets underway seeing how the tech and economy handle the changes will be seen in time. As far as digital-wallets go PSI Pay seems to be leading the way.

NGP VAN: The Democrats Most Powerful Campaigning Tool

The Democrats are winning on the technological landscape of politics. This may seem a little backward if you are paying attention to Trump’s now infamous twitter account. Trump seems to have the media on his finger and his social media account seems to be picking up headlines daily. However, on the election front, the Democrats are winning in landslides. The power of its candidates aside, the Democrats have been utilizing powerful tools in order to gain traction in current elections. In the past, these tools have played a major part in elections. Of course, the campaign trail is an intricate beast, and there are many different avenues that need addressing other than digital media. But, the Democrats have used digital media to great success. Take, for example, Obama’s election and subsequent re-election.

Obama used NGP VAN, a powerful digital campaigning tool that was majorly responsible for millions of his voters turning out at the polls. NGP VANs use by the Democrats came at the same time as the Republicans use of ORCA (which would later fail them on election day.) NGP VAN worked with the Obama administration to launch Pollwatcher, the powerful mobile app that was utilized to great success during the elections.

Beyond Pollwatch, NGP VAN has been the Democrats greatest asset in the digital age on all fronts of campaigning. NGP owns Hustle — a peer-to-peer messaging platform used in voter engagement — as well as SpeakEasy Political — a powerful direct-to-mail tool –, both of which have been seeing the Democrats win again and again in the digital war.

 

The use of tools like NGP VAN have become necessities in the digital age. Campaigns can no longer successfully be run on the ground or through television advertisement. That worked once when television was an emerging technology. Now, with the internet, campaign agendas have adapted to target not only the technology but the emerging demographic that lives by it.

 

Democrats consistent use of powerful media tools will continue to see them rise above Republicans in the digital media age. Republicans need to act fast if they don’t want to get left behind. For now, NGP VAN continues to be one of the most powerful tools that the Democrats have for re-election.

Bob Honey Who Just Do Stuff: Sean Penn’s Exit from Hollywood?

In his career Sean Penn has been no stranger to controversy or courting the media; while also trying to keep them at arms length. His foray into literature with his new novel, Bob Honey Who Just Do Stuff, Penn continues his gravitational push-pull with both. The book has been called dystopian, controversial for the sake of controversy, and a personal venting. It has also been called hilariously funny, provocative, and compared to the writings of authors like, Hunter S. Thompson, Charles Bukowski, William Burroughs, Tom Robbins, and E. E. Cummings. All of these authors are unarguably literary superstars, a bit madcap, and completely unafraid of putting their words out there for the world. Certainly not bad company to keep.

Recently Penn has been doing a book tour and interviews to promote, Bob Honey Who Just Do Stuff. The interviews have provided a peak behind the curtain into Penn’s thoughts on leaving the film industry, his ongoing humanitarian efforts, and the current political climate of the United States.

Penn has often tried to keep focus off of himself and on the work, so his reaction to questions about Bob Honey Who Just Do Stuff, that try to dig deeper than the work, and into the creator, mostly go unanswered; to no great surprise. He prefers not to discuss the comparisons to other writers work, but rather encourages people to read the book, if they are so inclined, and come to their own judgement if the comparisons are valid.

 

He did discuss part of his process though. He abandoned his screenplay writing habit of locking himself away with an old manual typewriter for this creative endeavor. Instead, the book was mostly written through dictation. He would work through the night, riffing, talking through the story of the book, and in the morning hand the recording off to his assistant to type up. This freed him up to work faster and make connections in the story that he doesn’t think would have happened if he was stuck with his fingers trying to keep up with his mind.

An interesting point that Penn made when discussing the anti-brand message that is intertwined with plot in Bob Honey Who Just Do Stuff, and how it fit in Penn’s brand, was that if he does have a brand, in the public’s perception it is probably a brand that is always in crisis. This stuck out as another moment that Penn as a creator is more humble and self-effacing than people probably realize. Perhaps with this novel, and the move away from Hollywood, we will get more unfiltered glimpses into Penn the person, and his fears for the future of the country, for the future of humanity, and the impact one person, fictional or not, can have on it all.

Stansberry Research Discusses Berkshire Hathaway’s Investment Decisions

Privately owned American research company Stansberry research is headquartered in Baltimore Maryland. Stansberry Research is part of the Angora group and was founded in 1999 (En.wikipedia). In addition to the Baltimore Maryland corporate HQ office, Stansberry also has offices in California, Florida and Oregon. Stansberry provides a monthly newsletter that contains detailed investing analysis for their dedicated subscribers and readers. Stansberry is a subscription based investment information newsletter that has subscribers in over 120 countries worldwide. They currently have hundreds of thousands of paid online subscribers.

On March 9, 2018 Stansberry Research published an article about the hidden problems at Berkshire Hathaway. In this article Stansberry goes over topics that have not been publicly spoken about and they admit some of their avid readers may even dismiss that particular article (http://stansberryresearch.com/products/stansberry-alpha/). Stansberry Research suggests that Warren Buffet step down as the acting CEO of Berkshire Hathaway because he is covering up many bad investment decisions. Berkshire Hathaway still has a large amount of strong investment holds and remains an insurance industry leader but this insurance powerhouse is also making less than desirable investments.

Warren Buffet began searching out companies to invest in after he established a large amount of float equity in Berkshire Hathaway. When he began his search he was looking for entire companies that did not require very much capital to grow. These companies did not need to provide large profits right away. He wanted companies that would maintain a steady growth rate and eventually pull in profits. The companies that Buffet sought out were smaller businesses that had a good presence within the United States. By 2013 Warren Buffet completely changed his strategy of acquisition. He began seeking out larger companies that were based outside of the United States and required a large up-front investment. For the first time since Warren Buffets investment career began, a strategy he utilized did not beat the S&P 500. These investments resulted in a compounded decrease in Berkshire Hathaway’s ability to compound wealth.

Stansberry Research goes into detail in each investment newsletter that they publish. These details help dedicated readers to make educated and well informed investing tips.

Upwork Advice to Tackle To-Do Lists

Many of us have a never-ending to-do list that gets longer by the minute. We feel so bogged down and overwhelmed by what we need to get done that, often times, we don’t get anything done. However, we don’t need to feel like that anymore. Located in Mountain View, California Upwork, the largest freelancing website, recently published a set of guidelines that will help us effectively and efficiently tackle our to-do list.

 

First, write everything you need to do down, don’t just try to remember it. Doing this allows your brain to focus on one task at a time. Second, prepare your to-do list the night before. This enables us to use our morning to be productive and check things off the list. Third, whether it be on a piece of paper or an app on your phone, keep your to-do list in one place. This lets you see all the tasks you need to do and prioritize as necessary. Fourth, give yourself a realistic time limit to accomplish a task. Doing this helps you be more productive during the specified time to ensure you get the task completed in time. Fifth, prioritize. Do the most important tasks first before unexpected things have time to pop up during your day. Sixth, continue to re-evaluate by removing tasks on your list that don’t really need to be done or that don’t matter; this allows you to focus on what is important. Seventh, don’t be afraid to delegate. Eighth, break larger tasks into smaller tasks. This will help you feel more productive and less overwhelmed. Ninth, group similar work together. For example, if you need to make a number of phone calls, complete them one after another instead of taking care of other tasks between them. Last, assign energy levels. Dedicate your most productive time to tasks that take the most amount of energy and time.

 

End Citizens United Challenge The Legality And Fairness Of Election Finance Regulations

The legality of the 2010 Citizens United Supreme Court decision has always been questioned by independents and left-leaning individuals who feel the mega-donors and special interest groups which have caused issues for a number of years by building the campaign funds of Republicans unfairly. There are many aspects of the 2010 ruling which End Citizens United, a traditional PAC allowing members to provide just $5,000 per election cycle in funding, include the fact many aspects of special interest group funding remain hidden from the public.

End Citizens United President Tiffany Muller believes she has the ability to build a brighter future for the people of the U.S. who wish to return the election finance regulations to a level playing field. Muller has headed a number of initiatives in the short life of ECU which was established in 2015 and has seen more than 70 independents and Democrats sign an election finance pledge created by Muller explaining they will not accept special interest finding during this election cycle.

The Citizens United decision was originally taken in 2010 after a group bearing the name of the decision attempted to pay for the broadcast of the documentary, “Hillary: The Movie.” A challenge was made about the broadcasting of the movie as no details were provided about the funding behind Citizens United or exactly who was paying for the broadcast of the production; the legal challenges eventually led to a 5-4 Supreme Court decision stating political donors did not need to provide details of their allegiance or just where funding for politicians campaigns was coming from.

Despite the strong rebuttal of the decision by left-leaning judges on the Supreme Court, the decision has remained in place and groups such as End Citizens United are the only ones now fighting to protect the remaining election finance regulations. The damage caused by the Citizens United decision has been seen on many levels as Tiffany Muller believes the major effect of the decision has been to encourage a greater number of Republicans to accept funding from groups such as the Koch Brothers to further the interest of donors. In supporting Democrats and independents friendly to their cause, End Citizens United hope to enact a change in the political makeup of Washington D.C. and place power back in the hands of the American electorate once again.
