The Democracy Fix
June 17, 2019 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm
FreeCaroline Fredrickson, former special assistant for legislative affairs to President Clinton, president of the American Constitution Society, and author of Under the Bus, shows how the left can undo the right’s damage and take the country back. Despite representing the beliefs of a minority of the American public on many issues, conservatives are in power not just in Washington, DC, but also in state capitals and courtrooms across the country. In The Democracy Fix (New Press), Fredrickson shows us how we can learn from the right by having the determination to focus on judicial elections, state power, and voter laws without stooping to their dishonest, rule-breaking tactics. This event is sponsored by the American Constitution Society – Oregon Lawyer Chapter.
