The president of the Pew Research Center on the results of the U.S. presidential election of 2012- Romney's failure to empathize with voters
11/13/2012
The Republicans fielded a weak candidate in Romney for empathy with voters and Romney failed to capitalize on the economy. This is shown by exit polls. Failure to be in sync with voters on pathways to citizenship also formed a part of this lack of empathy. On the general Republican position of less activist government exit polls show voters favoring activist government going down from 52% to 43%, and on the healthcare law voter disapproval is 49% compared to 44% for voter approval.

The Obama administration's amnesty for 1 million young illegal immigrants in 2012
08/04/2012
An effort by the Obama administration to energize its Hispanic base ahead of the presidential elections in 2012 includes granting amnesty to about 1 million young illegal immigrants in 2012. The move comes in August 2012, only 3 months ahead of a tight presidential race during a period of high unemployment that hurts the incumbent president. It also comes at a time of widespread disillusionment among Hispanics about the failure of the Obama administration to give priority to immigration reforms.

Election campaign financing strategies and fund raising efforts that led to Republican Romney's defeat in the U.S. presidential elections of 2012
11/07/2012
The primaries hurt Romney in two ways. He took too extreme a position on immigration to win close elections in primaries, and he ran short of money by the end of the primaries giving the Obama campaign an opening to define him by early heavy spending in the key states. The fund raising efforts also were away from the midwestern states and led to a lack of campaigning presence in those states during the summer leaving him badly behind in voter perceptions especially because his record at Bain Capital was open to attack.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
