I'm All About the Lord
Here are some upcoming and uplifting events in our area.
The Front Range Jewish Center is hosting a Rebbe's Tish at a private home in the Black Forest area on Saturday evening, January 12, 2008. Rabbi Mel Glazer of Temple Shalom will conduct Havdalah at 5:00 P.M.
Following food and beverage, there will be an open tent discussion on: The Potential for Jewish Life in the Springs.
I know. Here's my observation - "Find someone to make decent mandel bread and they'll come."
Since space is limited, please RSVP to Don Thomas no later than Thursday, January 10, 2008.
And another thing...
The Faith and Politics Project is sponsoring an Engaged Spirituality Forum at Iliff School of Theology on January 12, 2008.
Many people of faith do not believe that the Religious Right speaks for them. They see their values in a much broader context than the hot button issues of homosexuality, abortion, and Britney Spears. They are concerned about poverty, healthcare, pre-emptive war, immigration, protecting the environment, and ethical government. But is the Democratic Party speaking to these issues in ways that resonate with people who want to vote their values? In other words, is the American Idol audience interested?
This forum is designed to help Democratic officials, candidates, and activists hear the concerns of people who are informed by their faith traditions and to create frames that broaden the values debate to include the critical issues that progressives care about. Find out how can we reclaim, reframe and articulate our message in ways that bring hope instead of fear, and welcome people of faith into the Democratic Party.
Cause, let's face it, the Republicans suck.
Can I hear an "Amen"?
To reserve your spot.

Bout damn time. Did some other Democrats finally read "What's the Matter with Kansas" about how Republicans stole populism to get poor people to vote against their financial best interests? It's great that we've got a Colorado where that sort of stuff matters. In S.C., it's me, the trial lawyers, a few professors and eight guys named Earnest that vote financial issues (oh, yeah, and all the rich dudes that vote Republican to protect their swag). The rest vote race. My county is about 43% African-American, 56% White, with a negligible number of others, and probably 3/4ths of the whites vote Republican and about 95% of the black vote is Democrat. About the reverse of when the South was "solidly" democrat. The winning party generally depends on turnout. Anyway, cool to know that in some places, you actually discuss issues.
