Election day is just around the corner. As candidates vie for your votes, the Hammer brings a thought-provoking forum on the role of money in electing our government officials. Democracy for Sale: How to Make Elections About Candidates and Issues is the forum to be at this election season.
From the Hammer:
"With more money than ever pouring into political campaigns, how do we ensure that average citizens have a voice and that candidates represent people and not money? Robert Edgar, former congressman and head of Common Cause, the nation's leading advocate for campaign finance reform, and Jessica Levinson, director of political reform at the Center for Governmental Studies, join us to offer alternatives to money-driven political campaigns.
Hammer Forum is moderated by Ian Masters, journalist, author, screenwriter, documentary filmmaker, and host of the radio program Background Briefing, Sundays at 11AM, and The Daily Briefing, Monday through Thursday at 5PM, on KPFK 90.7 FM."
