In this episode, historian and author Stacie Taranto tells us about Ellen McCormack. Ellen McCormack ran for president in 1976 as a Democrat with an exclusively pro-life platform. She was creating the single issue voter by being the single issue presidential candidate. What’s interesting about stories like Ellen McCormack is that it shows the power of grass roots organizing and how running for president, even though you know you’re not going to win, is a great marketing tool. In this episode, we learn about how Ellen and other New Deal Democratic women tried to change the Democratic Party but failed. Then they switched to the Republican Party and became a major voice Stacie Taranto just recently released the book “Suffrage at 100: Women in American Politics since 1920”. #ellenmccormack #womensrights #righttolife #abortion #prolife #prochoice #candidate #democrat #republican #president #historian #podcast #politics #history #stacietaranto #election #equality #women #men #government #campaign #finance #conservative #liberal #newyork #singleissue #voter #grassroots

In this podcast, Dr. Veltmeyer discusses the history of electoral-altering political realignments in the United States, including the post-Civil War period of Republican dominance to the New Deal Democratic majority forged by Franklin Roosevelt to the post-1968 swing back to Republicanism under Nixon and Reagan. He sees a new, different realignment under Donald Trump which is populist and nationalist in makeup and which is scrambling historical voting patterns among traditionally-critical voter blocs.Support the show (http://drveltmeyer.com)

Kent State University is associated indelibly with the events of May 4, 1970, when soldiers of the Ohio National Guard shot over a dozen students, killing four of them. In Kent State: Death and Dissent in the Long Sixties (University of Massachusetts Press, 2016), Thomas M. Grace, a historian who was one of the survivors of that day, sets it within the context of an emergent culture of political activism on the camps. That culture had its origins in the broader changes taking place in American society in the late 1950s, with a small but committed group of students at the rapidly expanding university protesting for civil rights for African Americans. Most of these students came from working-class backgrounds and inherited the New Deal Democratic politics of their parents, and often found themselves at odds with the more conservative town and a campus administration reluctant to court controversy. Lyndon Johnson’s decision to commit American troops to the defense of South Vietnam soon brought about a shift in the priorities of these protestors, as antiwar marches soon replaced civil rights activism as their focus. These protests evolved as the war dragged on, with Richard Nixon’s announcement on April 30, 1970 of the invasion of Cambodia sparking demonstrations that led to the destruction of the campus’s ROTC building and the dispatch of the Guard by the states governor in response. As Grace reveals, the strained emotions and frayed nerves of the participants led to a tragedy that shocked a nation and transformed permanently the lives of everyone involved.
