*** SPEAKERS ***
Elizabeth Glidden, City Councilor (Minneapolis Ward 8), Democratic Party supporter
Gary Schiff, City Councilor (Minneapolis Ward 9), Democratic Party supporter
Ty Moore, Organizer for Socialist Alternative, Nader Campaign activist
Dave Bicking, Green Party activist and Cynthia McKinney Campaign supporter
The 2008 elections are reflecting the widespread demand for "change," but many remain skeptical that the Democrats can deliver. Can the influence of big business campaign contributors be broken, allowing the anti-war, pro-worker politics of the Democratic base guide policy in Washington? Or is the Democratic Party too corrupted by corporate cash? Should progressive workers and youth break with the two-parties of big business, support independent campaigns like Nader's and struggle to build a broad based anti-war, pro-worker party? Come to this important discussion on May 17th, hear ideas being shut out of the corporate media, and join in the debate.
