DESCRIPTION:Wednesday, Nov 17, 7-9pm; additional times & locations Nov 17-18\n\nBay 
 Area Tour - November 17-18\n\nFIGHT THE RIGHT!\n\nPublic Meetings:\n\nThe 
 ISO presents Alan Maass, editor of the SocialistWorker.org newspaper & 
 author of "The Case for Socialism," speaking on \n\nTHE RIGHT TURN IN U.S. 
 POLITICS: How it happened . . . and what we can do to stop it\n\nSince 
 Obama took office on a strong mandate for progressive reform, we have seen 
 the steady growth of the Right as the Democrats have failed to deliver in 
 the midst of a deepening economic crisis.  The Tea Party, once considered a 
 fringe element, has enlivened far right politics, particularly through 
 vicious campaigns of racism against Muslims and immigrants.  The Republican 
 Party, which was reeling from a massive electoral defeat just two years 
 ago, has regrouped and retaken the House of Representatives this month.  At 
 the same time, however, polls show a majority in this country support a 
 range of progressive causes like legal equality for LGBT people and taxing 
 the rich to pay for social programs. How can these things exist side by 
 side? How can we explain what just happened in the elections? Why did US 
 politics take a right turn? How can we organize to fight the Right and 
 build an independent left in the US?\n\nFight the Right Meeting
