Monthly Meeting: The Next Four Years

Hello everyone,

As you all know, there's a huge election coming up, and given the nature and intensity of the election, I'm giving us more time to decompress before we come together to talk about our book of the month. On Nov. 7th we will wake up in an America that's looking towards two very different four years, and this month's reading will reflect both these possibilities. I have chosen two books, one for if Mitt Romney wins and one for if President Obama wins re-election. We will probably focus on one of the books depending on what happens, but of course you are welcome to read both.

The book in case of a Romney victory:

The Right Nation: Conservative Power in America

The book in case of an Obama victory:

Kabuki Democracy: The System vs. Barack Obama

http://www.amazon.com/Kabuki-Democracy-System-Barack-Obama/dp/1568586590/ref=pd_sim_b_4

I'm looking forward to seeing you all there. Until then, make sure you get out and vote!

Neil
