Zettel. Zustand: Gut. Sternförmiger Zettel von Tom Ridge mit schwarzem Stift signiert /// Thomas Joseph ?Tom? Ridge (* 26. August 1945 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) ist ein US-amerikanischer Politiker (Republikanische Partei), der dem Kabinett von Präsident George W. Bush als erster Minister für innere Sicherheit angehörte. Zuvor war er von 1995 bis 2001 Gouverneur des Bundesstaates Pennsylvania gewesen. Tom Ridge besuchte zunächst die St. Andrews Elementary School und anschließend die Cathedral Prepatory School. Dann erhielt er ein Stipendium für die Harvard University, die er 1967 erfolgreich abschloss. Nach einem Jurastudium an der Dickson School of Law wurde er zur United States Army einberufen. Als Staff Sergeant der Infanterie zog er in den Vietnamkrieg. Für seinen Einsatz wurde er mit dem Bronze Star, dem Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry und dem Combat Infantry Badge ausgezeichnet. Nach einer Blinddarmentzündung kehrte er 1970 in die USA zurück und beendete 1972 sein Studium. Seit dieser Zeit trägt er auch ein Hörgerät am linken Ohr, die Folge der Verschlimmerung einer Ohreninfektion aus Kindertagen. Nach seinem Studium arbeitete er in einer privaten Kanzlei; anschließend wurde er stellvertretender Bezirksstaatsanwalt im Erie County und blieb dies bis 1982. In dieser Funktion bearbeitete er 86 Fälle in zwei Jahren. Politischer Aufstieg Im Jahr 1982 wurde Ridge als Kandidat der Republikaner in das US-Repräsentantenhaus in Washington, D.C. gewählt. Dieses Mandat behielt er bis 1995. Im Jahr 1984 war er Delegierter zur Republican National Convention in Dallas, bei der Ronald Reagan für eine zweite Amtszeit als US-Präsident nominiert wurde. Im Jahr 1994 wurde Tom Ridge zum neuen Gouverneur von Pennsylvania gewählt. Er gelang ihm, sich gegen den bisherigen Vizegouverneur Mark Singel durchzusetzen. Gouverneur von Pennsylvania Ridge trat sein neues Amt am 17. Januar 1995 an. In seiner Amtszeit wurden fast 300.000 neue Arbeitsplätze in Pennsylvania geschaffen. Durch Steuererleichterungen sparten die Bürger und die Arbeitgeber über 8 Milliarden Dollar ein. Auf wirtschaftlichem Gebiet setzte er ganz auf neue Technologien, die den Staat nach vorn brachten. Auch das Bildungssystem wurde weiter ausgebaut. Die Lehrer erhielten ebenfalls eine bessere Ausbildung. Ridge trat für eine Politik nach dem Grundsatz Law and order ein. Er forderte ein beschleunigtes Verfahren bei der Abwicklung von Todesurteilen. Er war ein Befürworter dieser Strafmaßnahme und hat in seiner Amtszeit etwa 224 Todesurteile unterschrieben. Auf gesellschaftlicher Ebene widersetzte er sich der Homo-Ehe. Auf der anderen Seite war er trotz seines katholischen Glaubens ein Befürworter der Abtreibung. Ridge setzte sich auch für den Umweltschutz ein. Im Jahr 1998 wurde der Gouverneur in seinem Amt bestätigt. Er trat am 5. Oktober 2001 zurück, um in die Bundesregierung zu wechseln. Präsident George W. Bush hatte ihn zum ersten Minister für Innere Sicherheit ernannt. Die Amtsperiode wurde von Mark S. Schweiker, dem bisherigen Vizegouverneur, beendet. Tom Ridge (oben, 4. v. l.) beim Treffen der G8-Minister für Inneres und Justiz im Mai 2004 Minister für Innere Sicherheit Bereits im Jahr 2000 hatte Tom Ridge seinen damaligen Amtskollegen in Texas als Präsidentschaftskandidat der Republikaner unterstützt. Für kurze Zeit war Ridge auch als dessen Vizepräsidentschaftskandidat und möglicher Verteidigungsminister im Gespräch. Schließlich übernahm er im Oktober 2001 das Amt des Ministers für Innere Sicherheit, das als Reaktion auf die Anschläge des 11. September entstanden war, und führte es bis zum Frühjahr 2005. Dann übergab er es an Michael Chertoff. Heute ist Ridge Berater und Aufsichtsratsmitglied mehrerer Firmen. Im Präsidentschaftswahlkampf des Jahres 2008 gehörte er zu den Beratern von John McCain. Im August 2009 erklärte Ridge im Rahmen einer Buchveröffentlichung, dass er kurz vor den Wahlen 2004 von George W. Bush unter Druck gesetzt wurde, die Gefährdungsstufe für terroristische Angriffe um eine Stufe nach oben zu setzen. Ziel war es nach seinen Angaben, dadurch die Chancen auf eine Wiederwahl der Republikaner durch eine vermeintliche Gefährdungslage signifikant zu erhöhen. Ridge jedoch lehnte ab. Tom Ridge ist seit 1979 mit Michele Moore verheiratet. Das Paar hat zwei Kinder. /// Autogramm Autograph signiert signed signee /// Standort Wimregal PKis-Box4-U037 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 10.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. xv, [1], 288 pages. Index. Signed with sentiment on fep. Reads With Best Wishes, Tom Ridge June 11, 2011. Thomas Joseph Ridge (born August 26, 1945) is an American politician and author who served as the Assistant to the President for Homeland Security from 2001 to 2003, and the first United States Secretary of Homeland Security from 2003 to 2005. A member of the Republican Party, he was the 43rd governor of Pennsylvania from 1995 to 2001 and a member of the United States House of Representatives from 1983 to 1995. After graduating from Harvard University with honors, he served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War where he was awarded the Bronze Star. He then returned to Pennsylvania and completed his Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree at the Dickinson School of Law, graduating in 1972, and entered private practice. As Governor of Pennsylvania, he is credited for statewide advances in economic development, education, health care and the environment. Following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, U.S. President George W. Bush named Ridge the first director of the newly created Office of Homeland Security. In January 2003, the Office of Homeland Security became an official Cabinet-level Department, the Department of Homeland Security, and Ridge became the first Secretary of Homeland Security. He served in these roles for Bush's first term as president, then retired and returned to the private sector. He is the founder and chairman of Ridge Global, a Washington, D.C.-based security consulting firm. When our nation called, Tom Ridge answered. Appointed by the President to head up domestic security, Ridge established the Department of Homeland Security. In this probing and surefooted memoir, Ridge takes us through the challenges he and his new department faced, including Anthrax scares and reports (both real and false alarms) of new Al-Qaeda operations sprouting up in the United States. A "law and order" Republican, Ridge writes with refreshing candor on both the successes and missteps of the DHS. He details the obstacles faced in his new postâ"often within the administration itselfâ"as well as the failures of Congress to provide for critical homeland security needs, and the irresponsible use of terrorism by both parties to curry favors with voters. Ridge also reveals: ⢠How the DHS was pressured to connect homeland security to the international "war on terror" ⢠How Ridge effectively thwarted a plan to raise the national security alert just before the 2004 Election⢠How Ridge had pushed for a plan (defeated because of turf wars) to integrate DHS and FEMA disaster management in New Orleans and other areas before Hurricane Katrina Finally, Ridge offers a prescriptive look to the future, advocating ways that America may reaffirm its safetyâ"including his provocative support for a national ID card program and for comprehensive immigration reformâ"without sacrificing personal liberty. Ridge wrote: Television captures every word and every expression. I was reasonable to think that our enemies would look for any sign of weakness in the person who in a few days would be responsible for protecting America against them. At that moment, I experienced a royal flush of emotionâ"after all, I was leaving the state I loved, a loyal staff, many friendships developed over a lifetime, the frustration of work unfinished, to head into the unknown and the undoable. In normal times, I might have shed a tear at such thoughts. But I was determined not to do so as I said my farewell. If I needed any reminding, I glanced down at the note I had written for counsel. "The bastards are watching." We can never guarantee we will be free from another attack. We must also understand that every day thousands and thousands of our fellow citizens work here and abroad to take us to a new level of readiness and security. For in the end, Americans do not live in fear. We live in freedom. And we will let no one take that freedom away. The book further discusses: the infighting he saw that frustrated his attempts to build a smooth-running department. Among the headlines promoted by publisher Thomas Dunne Books: Ridge was never invited to sit in on National Security Council meetings; was 'blindsided' by the FBI in morning Oval Office meetings because the agency withheld critical information from him; found his urgings to block Michael Brown from being named head of the emergency agency blamed for the Hurricane Katrina disaster ignored; and was pushed to raise the security alert on the eve of President Bush's re-election, something he saw as politically motivated and worth resigning over. Ridge wrote in his memoir that then-Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and then-Attorney General John Ashcroft pressured him to raise the terror alert level, running up to the 2004 elections, because of a pre-election message critical of President Bush from Osama Bin Laden.
