The Supreme Court decision in the case of "Citizens United vs the FEC" allows corporations to give unlimited amounts of money to support political candidates of their choosing. While you or I might struggle to contribute $20, they can contribute 20 MILLION dollars with no problem! Is this government of the people, by the people and for the people?? This group is primarily for residents of the Mt. Vernon dist …

After reading Empire, Multitude, and Commonwealth, many of us feel a need to discuss the implications of this trilogy for the Occupy Together Movement, politics in general, and the ways we live our own lives. I'd suggest we might want to read each of the Hardt/Negri trilogy, section by section and the basis for our discussions, and move on from there.

"There are other Republicans in Alexandria??" Yes!!

Meet for wine (or beer), espresso and decadent desserts (or nachos) and engage with other singles in stimulating conversation on a wide range of topics ... politics, literature, the arts, philosophy, sports, your past travels and wish list ...

Since I'm not interested in debates, let me give you my basis of awareness and be done with it. I …
