DESCRIPTION:Since 2004 Progressive Democrats of America has posed an alternative to 
 many of the corporate-driven policies of much of the Democratic Party. "We 
 seek to build a party and government controlled by citizens, not corporate 
 elites," says PDA's web site, "with policies that serve the broad public 
 interest, not just private interests."\n\nMarin County-based Norman Solomon 
 is a PDA Board member. He has been a solid voice and a driving force behind 
 the activist community's opposition to a U.S. military escalation now in 
 Afghanistan and previously in Iraq. On Wednesday, February 3, Peace Action 
 of San Mateo County will join San Mateo County Democracy for America in 
 presenting Solomon. His topic will be "The Politics of Escalation: 
 Afghanistan and the Future of the Democratic Party." Solomon will offer his 
 assessment of the hopes as well as the realities of the Obama presidency, 
 with a focus on the impact and implications of the current escalation in 
 Afghanistan.\n\nThe event is at 7 PM at Carpenters' Hall, 1153 Chess Drive 
 (off Foster City Boulevard) in Foster City. Admission is free, and dessert 
 and coffee will be available. Carpenter's Hall is wheelchair 
 accessible.\n\nNorman Solomon has a sharp ear for media. He has been 
 writing the weekly "Media Beat" column on media and politics since 1992. He 
 is the founder and director of the Institute for Public Accuracy, and a 
 longtime associate of the media watch group Fairness and Accuracy In 
 Reporting (FAIR). Solomon is the author of such books as "Made Love, Got 
 War: Close Encounters with America's Warfare State", and "War Made Easy: 
 How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death", which was later made 
 into a documentary film.\n\nHis voice and thoughts have been heard on a 
 wide variety of radio and television news programs. Now PASMC and SMCDfA 
 are proud and honored to bring Solomon himself to San Mateo County.\n
