A few links to their work in the news:\nMercury News: http://www.mercurynews.com/opinion/ci_15624144\nMSNBC: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31510813/#35937156\nWhether you're a political idealist, a realist, or a cynic, you owe it to yourself to look at the data that explains why major initiatives die in Congress and our elected leaders can't seem to get anything done. MAPLight.org doesn't offer all the answers, but it enables all of us to ask the right questions.\nAt this house party you'll have the chance to meet some of the people behind MAPLight.org and hear about their plans for expanding the movement for the money and politics reform we need. I hope you can make it!\n\nFood and beverages will be served. PLEASE RSVP by Thurs. September 16 to DeAnna Dalton, deanna@maplight.org or 510-868-0894.\nput up by http://twitter.com/davidaquinley\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2010/09/19/18659229.php SUMMARY:Sausalito> Map Light
