Are you worried about the upcoming elections? What can we do to help our candidates win? How do we get Congress to listen to Main Street rather than Wall Street? How do we take a bite out of Citizens United? Should we be focusing on publicly funded elections? Will the wars ever end? Will our frustrations ever end? Do you want to talk about it? If so, the place to do it is at our Let’s Talk Politics event at the Winnetka Public Library where the conversation flows and ideas blossom.
All are invited to this informal discussion moderated by Cook County Board candidate Jennifer Bishop Jenkins on September 21. Bring your family and friends and neighbors. We think you’ll find it a really interesting and exciting evening as different views are put on the table.
