The best way to describe Theodore Roosevelt is an “Original”, a man like no other helping shape and influence American history for the better.

After summarizing a little bit about her family life and accomplishments we got into the discussion of World War II. She told me that she was just a small child around the years World War II began. For most of the duration of the war her age ranged from age six to eleven. I asked her where she was when she heard about the news on the Pearl Harbor incident in 1941. The day she heard about Pearl Harbor she was at her father’s barber shop on a Monday afternoon with her two younger sisters.

The influence on wealthy individuals and corporations in politics and campaigns was not a new phenomenon in the early 1970s. In fact, President Theodore Roosevelt proposed reigning in campaign spending by corporations and called for transparency in campaign finances. However, it wasn't until 1971 that reform efforts were put into law with passage of the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA). The law, signed by Nixon shortly before the 1972 Watergate break-in, instituted disclosure requirements for federal candidates, political parties, and political action committees. However, the law lacked teeth because there was no government-level body to enforce it.
