Statement on Free Speech
Our constitution and laws encourage the freest possible exchange of opinions, ideas, and information. In part, that recognizes our worth and dignity as human beings. To forbid us to speak our minds demeans us and makes us more like slaves or robots than citizens of a free country. But as important as freedom of expression is for us as individuals, it is perhaps more important to society at large.

Open Forum – To Be, or Not to Be: Are we a People's
Democracy or What? Lorraine Keed and Tom Berry will lead/moderate the discussion and look forward to your feedback and views. If possible, please take a moment to jot down your thoughts in advance in order for all participants to have the opportunity to adequately and succinctly express themselves in this open forum.
As a guide, we offer up some topic questions to start what will hopefully be a robust discussion. Please feel free to add pertinent topic questions and/or observations to the discussion as we go forward. Starter topic questions are:
1) How far will Republican politicians allow Trump’s war tactics with Iran to continue? When will they acknowledge it has already been a step too far? Is it too late? Has Trump bit off more than he can chew and, in the process, created a very devastating and long term violent outcome for the Middle East?
2) Republican talk tracks on their respect for the First Amendment doesn't map with them refusing to acknowledge the President has continually ignored it. When will Republicans deliver consequential warnings to Trump regarding his violation of his Constitutional oath to uphold all tenets of the Constitution?
3) Will the Republican Congress finally reign in Trump's abuse of power? How much more aware do they have to be? Are their re-elections in jeopardy,,, if so, what do they have to lose?
4) What do you think Trump’s current actions with Iran will have on the continued participation of member countries in Trump’s Board of Peace?
