A federal judge has blocked key provisions of a controversial Arizona law aimed at illegal immigrants. The judge blocked a requirement that police have to check the immigration status of detainees they reasonably suspect of being in the country illegally, and stopped part of the law that makes it a crime for immigrants to be in the state illegally.

Our Budget, Our Economy Results & Report




 
America Speaks: Our Budget, Our Economy
Hello Fred,

Today, AmericaSpeaks released its second round of analysis from the June 26 National Town Meeting. Please take a look at the narrative report, slide show, and 19 site reports that we have posted to our new Results page.

Download the interim report to Congress.

Over the next several days, we will be posting to the blog a series of articles that dig into the data that we have analyzed so far. In the meantime, there are a few things worth point out about these results.

First of all, we have included some initial break downs of how voting was shaped by the ideological views of participants. Early in the event, we asked people to identify their ideological position on economic and fiscal issues. We were able to look within the keypad voting data to see where liberals and conservatives tended to share views and where they tended to differ (and by how much.)

Second, we have also been able to break out data based on the site that participants attended. You can read the 19 site reports to get a sense for how views from your community related to views from across the country.

Third, we were able to compile the percent of table groups that included each option in their deficit reduction packages.

Fourth, we were able to correct the voting results in four questions that had been calculated incorrectly. It turned out that on those questions in which participants were able to vote for multiple options, a flaw in the voting software meant that the system was double counting (e.g. if you hit the number 3 button several times, it would record several votes for number 3 instead of just one.) Fortunately, Turning Point Technologies was able to go through the data files and eliminate double counting. Notably, this error essentially didn't change the relative position of options within a given category. Rather, the big difference is that it lowered the percentage support for many options in these four questions. We apologize for any confusion that this has caused. Turning Point Technologies has assured us that they will be correcting the software error.

Fifth, we have completed a thorough analysis of the ideas submitted through the laptop computers at each table to supplement the real-time analysis conducted by the theme team on June 26. Our analysis has confirmed the work done by the theme team, but also picked up a few additional themes from the data.

Finally, please note that we will have at least one additional round of analysis to release in the coming weeks. We are still conducting an analysis of how support for options correlated with one another for individual voting as well as across table packages. Additionally, we will add results from the Community Conversations, which have been coming in more slowly than we had anticipated.

We'll also work to put up raw data from the laptop computers and the overall voting results, so that those of you who are interested in conducting your own analysis can do so.

Please take a look at the reports and share them with others.
Warm Regards,
Carolyn Lukensmeyer
President & Founder

Arianna Huffington: Fear Factor: What's Keeping the President From Picking the Best Person to Protect Consumers?

2010-07-28-capt.cca200a470a3442e966d15f039cc2587cca200a470a3442e966d15f039cc25870.jpg

Arianna Huffington: Picking Elizabeth Warren to lead the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is a no-brainer. So why isn't the White House rushing to nominate her? In a word: fear. The same fear-based approach that caused the administration to throw Shirley Sherrod under the bus last week is once again rearing its head in the decision-making process over Warren. This time, it's not the ire of Glenn Beck that has Team Obama's backbone turning to mush -- it's the fear of angering the bankers by appointing a consumer advocate who might actually advocate for consumers (the same consumers who, in their role as taxpayers, have spent hundreds of billions bailing the bankers out). Obama once said of the Bush years: "If we continue to make decisions from within a climate of fear, we will make more mistakes." Let's hope Shirley Sherrod is his administration's last fear-driven mistake. Click here to read more.


Robert Creamer: Why Congress Must End Bush Tax Breaks for the Rich

The Bush tax cuts didn't just produce fewer jobs than advertised. They didn't produce any private sector jobs at all. The whole experiment in handing over money to the wealthiest people was a colossal -- empirically verifiable -- failure.

Chris Kelly: Why You Don't Care About JournoList

The problem with the JournoList scandal is the problem with a lot of right wing news: It's not happening on Earth I, where you and I live.

Marcia Dawkins: Black, White and Other... Worldwide

Even though the 21st century is seeing an exponential increase in reports of multiracial ancestry worldwide, exactly what makes a person multiracial remains a puzzling concept.

Sen. Ted Kaufman: Captive Regulators Contributed to Oil and Financial Disasters

As we've learned over the last two years, when regulators fail, it is the American people who pay the price.

Haim Saban: Shame on Oliver Stone

Oliver Stone should be given a helping hand -- indeed, a vigorous shove -- into the land of forced retirement. There, he can preach his anti-Americanism and anti-Semitism into the wind.
