We hear producers really shined to Lyndsy Fonseca when she auditioned for the role of Katniss! In fact, the Kick-Ass actress was even on their radars BEFORE Jennifer Lawrenceâs name was brought up! Lyndsey even read lines for the part at director Gary Rossâ house!
Lincoln was the first Republican president, elected in 1860. He was a member of the Whig Party from 1832 to 1854 before there was a Republican Party . He was nominated by the National Union Party in 1864. This party was really just a name-change for the Republican party which was trying to attract anyone who did not want to end the war with a truce.
The Republican Party is one of the two major contemporary political parties in the United States, along with the Democratic Party. It is often called the Grand Old Party â¦ or the GOP. Founded in Ripon, Wisconsin, in 1854 by anti-slavery expansion activists and modernizers, the Republican Party quickly surpassed the Whig Party as the principal opposition to the Democratic Party.
