the importance of choice of language
in framing and discussing social issues
and the impact this has on elections.

will facilitate the discussion

Fox Valley Democracy for America invites you
Sunday, Dec. 5, 6:30 pm
Fox Valley Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, 2600 Philip Lane, Appleton

Ideas include: How “tax relief” rather than “tax responsibility” frames discussion over taxation, what is framing, how to ‘frame’ President Bush , where have all the religious liberals gone, why does there seem to be two Americas; how to debate a conservative, values win elections--conservatives know theirs, do you know yours? The DVD is 25 minutes long.
