Valley Democrats United Presents: Progressive Author Norman Solomon

Valley Democrats United and Progressive Democrats of Los Angeles proudly present:
an evening with noted Politically Progressive author/documentarian NORMAN SOLOMON, discussing his latest book, “MADE LOVE, GOT WAR: Close Encounters with America's Warfare State (October 2007).”
The Los Angeles Times called that book "brutally persuasive" and "a must-read for those who would like greater context with their bitter morning coffee, or to arm themselves for the debates about Iraq that are still to come." He will also talk about making the documentary "War Made Easy," based on his 2005 book, "War Made Easy: How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death."

Solomon has appeared as a guest on many media outlets including the PBS NewsHour With Jim Lehrer, CNN, MSNBC, Fox News Channel, C-SPAN, public radio's Marketplace, and NPR's All Things Considered, Morning Edition and Talk of the Nation.

Margie Murray, VDU newsletter Editor and Mimi Kennedy, PDA national spokesperson will be taking questions from the audience in a town hall meeting format.

The public is welcome. There is no charge. Light refreshments will be available. Suggested donations at the door requested $5-10. Seating is first come first served.

VDU and PDLA will have signed books available with a 2008 membership/donation to their group. There are a limited number of signed books available. To reserve a copy, please send a note to ValleyDemsUnited@aol.com. To read more about Norman Solomon go to www.normansolomon.com .
