DESCRIPTION:Election time is here again, prompting the question “If every candidate 
 is required to have bucket loads of corporate and PAC money to compete, 
 does it really matter which of their stooges I vote for?” “Democracy” 
 becomes ever more illusory as the electoral system enables these corporate 
 representatives to make decisions that deeply affect our lives. What are 
 the consequences? Enron, corporate fraud, and the plundering of our natural 
 resources, to name a few. What’s being sacrificed? Our health, our 
 ecosystems, our future generations and our civil rights. Come join Robert 
 Perez from the California League of Conservation Voters and Gary Krane, 
 Director of the Fair Elections Speakers Bureau as they discuss The Reform 
 That Makes All Others Possible: Publicly Funded Elections. We’ll show a 
 short Bill Moyers video that explains how the public financing model is 
 already working well in Maine and Arizona, enabling ordinary citizens -- 
 citizens who want to court voters and not donors -- to run competitive 
 races and win office. You will also learn how the movement is developing 
 here in California, as well as almost 40 other states, and what you can do 
 to help. Time: 7 pm - 9 pm. Cost: Free. \n
