On Tuesday, 15 November, beginning at 7PM, at The Artery (5401 Jackson and Prospect), the Harris County Young Democrats (HCYD) will host a panel discussion featuring Reps. Jessica Farrar, Scott Hochberg, Rick Noriega, and Garnet Coleman.  Our guests will discuss the recent legislative sessions in Austin and the stranger than fiction workings of our one party state government. 
 
Why is it that the Republican leaders in our state insist on cutting taxes on property and raising taxes on sales? Why are school vouchers being pushed when our public schools are woefully underfunded?  And why doesn't Rick Perry's hair ever move?  Get the answers to these and other questions from those that fight the good fight and do all they can to restore sanity to our state's public policy.
 
Then, after you have satisfied the left side of your brain, indulge your artistic right brain with the music of the award winning (Houston Press) band SkyBlue '72.  A great band will put on a great show for you.

This film will be part of the Nuclear Show in the Media Center Gallery.

This week, the director of "Uncovered: The War on Iraq" and "Outfoxed" released his latest film, "Wal-Mart: the High Cost of Low Prices." It's a powerful exposé on the toll the Wal-Mart behemoth has taken on workers and communities across the country, and how we can help turn the tide.

Civil Disobedience 

After we left Crawford at the end of August, McLennan County designated the county bar ditches "no speech zones" by making it illegal to camp, eat or erect a structure for "living" in them . Additionally, they created a "no parking zone" for a 7 mile radius around the Bush ranch. This is a violation of our constitutional rights to free speech and free assembly. On Tuesday, November 22, some of us will challenge this ordinance by gathering in the Camp Casey 1 ditch to let George Bush know that he cannot continue to turn a deaf ear to our grievances.
