At the March 11 meeting, we'll delve into the political process with presentations from political insiders and experts!
Have you ever wondered how the local and state Democratic Party works? Want to learn about delegates, clubs, and candidates? Michael Saunders will give us a quick view into the inner workings of one of the political parties.
And if you ever wondered what we can do to get money out of politics, in the second half of our meeting Move to Amend's Dawn Wolfson (Sacramento Affiliate) and Keyan Bliss (National Leadership Team) will show us the way.
From Move to Amend: As Progressives, we are all aware of the corrupting influence of large amounts of money on our political process. Move to Amend is the only organization that is fighting this corruption on two fronts. Our proposed Constitutional amendment will not only eliminate the legal fiction that money is equivalent to first amendment protected free speech, but also the absurd notion that corporations are entitled to the same constitutional rights as human beings. We will be talking about how these things came to be, and how they have been used to subvert the democratic process and promote a corporate agenda over the needs of the majority of the people here in the United States.
