"Uncounted" is the recently released documentary film about our past error-laden elections and what needs to be done to ensure accurate vote counts in November. The film exposes the real threat to the heart of our democratic principles, the right for every vote to count!
"This film documents deliberate cheating by Diebold, an Ohio manufacturer of voting machines, and other problems around the country where honest tallies were falsified."
A speaker will be available after the showing to answer questions and lead discussion. Don't miss this presentation about a topic which affects voters throughout the United States!

This month's book: Bill of Wrongs: The Executive Branch's Assault on America's Fundamental Rights, by Molly Ivins & Lou Dubose.

From illegal wiretaps, the unlawful imprisonment of American citizens, and the undermining of freedom of the press to the creeping influence of religious extremism on our national agenda and the erosion of the checks and balances that prevent a president from seizing unitary powers, Ivins and her longtime collaborator, Lou Dubose, co-author of Shrub and Bushwacked, describe the attack on America’s vital constitutional guarantees.

Location: Denny's, 5525 Sepulveda Blvd, Van Nuys (Corner of Burbank Blvd) Map/directions. Please plan to arrive between 6:30 and 7:00 to order your meal and be prepared for a lively discussion. Everyone is invited to join us and participate in the discussion whether or not you have read the book.
