About this Blog

During the semester, I shall post course material and students will comment on it. Students are also free to comment on any aspect of American politics, either current or historical. 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. Syllabus: http://gov20h.blogspot.com/2023/08/draft-introduction-to-american-politics.html

Through Hell and High Water (albeit in frozen form)

As heavy storms hit the Northeast, protesters in the occupy Wall Street movement face snow and freezing temperatures. Although the movement shows signs of slowing down, dedicated members continue to camp out despite severe weather conditions. Some have even turned the weather into a tool for protest, unifying and motivating the movement.
Do you think the movement will survive the winter? Would you be willing to pitch a tent in 10 inches of snow to try and make change?
