On Tuesday, September 29th, Max Blumenthal will discuss his new book Republican Gomorrah at First Congregational Church of Berkeley. Republican Gomorrah is an exposé of the dysfunction, scandal, and crime from the heart of the Religious Right; the fringe movement that has come to define the Republican Party. Blumenthal describes establishment Republicans, and how moderates have been systematically purged from party ranks.

Max Blumenthal is an award-winning journalist and documentary videographer, and has become one of the most important people writing about how the Religious Right fringe movement became the Republican Party mainstream. Whether it was his revelation of Sarah Palin's involvement with a Kenyan pastor who boasted of epic battles with witches, or his exposé of the eccentric theocratic multimillionaire behind California's Prop 8 anti-gay-marriage initiative, Blumenthal's reporting goes almost instantly viral, and shocks thousands.
