[Sosfbay-discuss] Evolutionary Politics - Event December 7th

[Roy]

Allies,

As cracks grow in the conservative infrastructure, it’s time for the
movement for deeply progressive, truly evolutionary politics to gather
itself again, all the way from the grass roots to the national level.
    That’s why we are urging Bay Area residents to come to a free event in
San Jose on Wed. Dec. 7th entitled “Evolutionary Politics.” It’s got a
dynamite lineup of speakers and entertainment and will offer specific
strategies for advancing conscious political work in the Silicon Valley
and beyond.  On the docket are:

       * *John Robbins,* author of /Diet for a New //America// /
       * *Barbara Marx Hubbard*, author of /Conscious Evolution /
       * *J. Manuel Herrera*, elected official in San Jose and a leading
         voice for conscious politics
       * *Swami Beyondananda,* author of /Swami for Precedent /
       * as well as performing artist *Colette,* songster *Taber
         Shadburne*, and* *an appearance by *Stephen Dinan*, author and
         writer.* *


During the last presidential election many of us found a new tribe –
those who are equally committed to raising their consciousness *and
*creating progressive political change.  If you touched the passion,
power, and magic of those days, you’ll want to be at this San Jose event
as that same energy finds expression again on a regional level, with
global implications.

The event flyer is attached (with photos and graphics), and the text of
the flyer is pasted in below.  Space is limited and since this terrific
event is *FREE, it will undoubtedly fill early*.  So RSVP as soon as
possible and let your key allies know as well.  We hope to see you there!

7-Step Plan to Heal the Body Politic and Cure Electile Dysfunction.
