Event Description:

This special workshop is for progressive delegates and alternates attending the Texas Democratic Party (TDP) state convention the following week.

This is being organized by members of the PAA, PPC, DFH, and other local progressive groups.  It is NOT for all delegates -- just for those wanting to help turn the TDP around in a positive direction, that focuses on electing progressive candidates who will talk about issues like election reform, the prison-industrial complex, improving public education, health care for all, regulation (such as for pollution, energy, and more) being controlled by the regulated, getting out of Iraq, impeachment, ending the assault on our civil liberties, and more.

Event Description:

This Figthing Back Workshop is the fourth in a series of issue forums planned for the election year. Learn effective ways to frame and discuss environmental issues.

Introduction

Much of the harsh partisan bickering that exists between Republicans and Democrats stems from a basic misunderstanding of the core values of each.  Democrats realize that many Republicans have core values similar to Democrats.
