SAVING OUR DEMOCRACY                       SATURDAY, JANUARY 21, 2006
At NYU's Skirball Theater, over 20 leading advocates and authors will come together to expose the ways our democratic processes have deteriorated over the last 30 years -- and how the Bush administration is more interested in exporting democracy abroad than in protecting it here at home.   The one-day event will feature 9 topical panels and will result in a published "Contract for Democracy."  More information soon.  Tickets will go on sale online in mid-November.  Co-hosts: Demos, People for the American Way Foundation & The Nation.
