Some critics have attacked Dick Wadhams for playing a dual role during the 2008 election by being both the Party Chairman in addition to being Bob Schaffer's campaign manager. However, during the 2008 election, under Wadham's leadership, the Colorado Republican Party was "hailed for its voter turnout" and recognized by the RNC. The state GOP increased its outreach by topping the 2004 effort by more than 95 percent.
Dick Wadhams was reelected as state chairman at the 2009 Colorado Republican Organization Meeting. |

At the end of her letter, she apologized for not revealing her name, but she signed the letter to show that it was authentic. Due to a misunderstanding, Radio Free Europe read the letter in full, including the name. On September 15, 1983, she was fired from the university because of her political activity, the official reason being that she gave her students to read the diary of Mircea Eliade.

She continued to send a constant stream of texts and protests to Radio Free Europe. Her message was then repeated in the articles she wrote after the 1989 Revolution: even if the political and economic situation would change, this would not change the perversity of the morals of the individuals.
In August 1987, she addressed an open letter to Nicolae Ceaușescu, in |

During the Braşov 1987 uprising, on 18 November 1987, together with her son, Leontin Iuhaş, she spread in Cluj-Napoca 160 manifestos of solidarity with the workers who rebelled against the communist government.

In the Summer of 1988, she heard on Radio Free Europe that she had been invited at a human rights conference in Cracow; she didn't receive the invitation. She requested a passport only to be refused, responding with a letter in which she argued that a successful totalitarian society can only be created by robbing people of intellectual fulfilment.

She found Ceaușescu personally responsible for the spiritual and economic disaster in Romania. She gave him two choices: he either gives up (together with the nomenklatura) running the country, or he introduces reforms to allow pluralism and separate the administration and judiciary from the Party.
She argued for freedom of expression, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly and freedom of travel; on the economic side, her letter (which may have been drafted by other collaborators) argued for closing down loss-making factories, re-tooling factories for being able to compete with foreign companies, hiring foreign managers and recreation |

Subsequently, she was put on house arrest by the Securitate. Following a documentary shown on Belgian television, an international campaign for her release began. Resolutions arguing for her release were passed by the European Parliament and the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions. Personal interventions by foreign politicians were made to the Romanian government, including the ones by Laurent Fabius, President of the French National Assembly, Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, former President of France, and Leo Tindemans, the Belgian Foreign Minister.
Nevertheless, she was able to send two more letters, |

Not one of them is able to suggest a single area of expenditure where this can happen. However, the Minister points to one minor victory: universities will be forced to make overseas students pay for their own tuition—with no exceptions. After the meeting, Bernard (Hacker's Principal Private Secretary) approaches the Minister to ask if he has approved the departmental recommendations for the latest honours list.
Bernard remarks that while in theory ministers can withhold civil service honours, in |

Hacker wonders how he can make government officials want economies in the same way as they desire their knighthoods, etc. Bernard then hesitantly suggests to the Minister that he might like to consider denying honours to those civil servants who haven't cut their budgets by 5%. Hacker is immediately enthusiastic.
Sir Humphrey Appleby has been enjoying a dinner at Baillie, his old college, and is chatting with the Master and the Bursar. They are concerned at the college's poor financial situation, which won't be helped by Hacker's policy of making overseas students pay for their |

Baillie is particularly affected as it has a large influx of such students. Sir Humphrey suggests that they take more from the United Kingdom, but the economics dictate otherwise. The Master and Bursar ask Sir Humphrey to persuade his minister to designate Baillie as an exception, and they agree to invite Hacker to a High Table dinner at the college.
The next morning, Hacker meets with Sir Humphrey and tells him of his plan to withhold honours. The Permanent Secretary is dumbstruck. Hacker points out that anyone else would have to earn an honour, whereas in the civil service, such |

Sir Humphrey struggles to put his case, calling the idea "a Bennite solution" and demanding to know where it came from. Bernard is immediately sheepish, but Hacker does not betray him. Sir Humphrey argues that the honours system should be given a "fair trial", but the Minister reminds him that the Most Noble Order of the Garter was founded in 1348 by Edward III. Hacker brooks no argument and insists that his scheme is enacted straightaway. Sir Humphrey then informs the Minister of his dinner at Baillie College and the representations made to him |

The Cabinet Secretary, Sir Arnold Robinson, invites Sir Humphrey over to his office. He is equally concerned over Hacker's plan to link honours to economies, and observes that, if implemented, the "contagion would spread" to all departments. Sir Humphrey is nervous: by his own admission, he can find no effective arguments against the proposal. Nevertheless, Sir Arnold seeks an assurance that it won't be put into practice—otherwise it could cause Sir Humphrey’s "soundness" to be questioned. Then Sir Arnold mentions a |

Since the Cabinet Secretary himself is a Baillie man, he too promised that the college would continue to receive government grants for all its students. He now adds this to Sir Humphrey's burden, but is reassured that Hacker has been invited to a benefactor's dinner.
The next evening, Hacker travels to the dinner in his ministerial car. Bernard is with him and tells him of Sir Humphrey's dressing-down from Sir Arnold. They also discuss the various honours that are given, and Bernard remarks that despite the Cabinet Secretary's seniority, he |

After the meal, the Master, the Bursar and Sir Humphrey chat with a drunken Hacker about Baillie's history. They tell him that most of its facilities are named after its benefactors, but drop the hint that its heritage may be coming to an abrupt end. Changing the subject, Sir Humphrey enquires about the college's latest Honorary Doctorate of Law and asks about the intended recipient. It seems that they would like to bestow the honour on the Minister himself…
In the morning, Hacker is back at the DAA and nursing |

Sir Humphrey formally informs him about the Honorary Doctorate and Hacker is surprised and delighted. However, the mandarin reminds the Minister that it would be a question of accepting an honour without actually having done anything to deserve it—the same argument put forward by Hacker for holding back civil service honours. The Minister now has a change of heart regarding Baillie College and Sir Humphrey tells him that it can be redesignated as a Commonwealth Education Centre, which would exempt it from charging overseas students. Hacker is concerned about finding the money |

The meeting takes place and every participant is suddenly able to find scope for economies, coincidentally each of them for the requisite 5%. Satisfied, Hacker hands the honours list to Sir Humphrey, and asks if everything is in order. "Yes, Doctor... er, Minister" comes the reply. |
