Body:
Targeted to activists, political club members and those newly involved in the political process, this workshop focuses on quality of life issues such as environment, transportation, and education important to Democratic and independent voters in suburban and urban areas campaigns. To win elections in our region, Democrats need to communicate about issues important to Democrats and a segment of "independent" voters. We can't just shout at George W. Bush and complain about Republicans, we need to speak out about issues that a majority of voters care about. 600 reads ¬… more info

Body:
When a bank robber's bullet ends the life of police officer Lois Marrero, her wife of thirteen years, Mickie, is honored as her surviving spouse but denied all pension benefits. When Sam, an Oklahoma rancher, loses his beloved husband of 22 years, long-estranged cousins of his late spouse try to lay claim to everything Sam has. As Mickie and Sam's lives are put on trial, they are forced to confront the tragic reality that in the eyes of the law their marriages mean nothing. From an historical trip to the Middle Ages, to gay hippies storming the Manhattan marriage bureau in 1971, Tying the Knot digs deeply into the past and present to uncover the meaning of civil marriage in America today.
