Description:

American Blackout - Does every vote count in America? Apparently not in the 21st century.  This 2006 Sundance Film Festival winner takes a disturbing look at the ways in which the African-American vote has been manipulated and disenfranchised in American elections.  From the outrageous maneuvers in Florida in 2000 to the Republican efforts to unseat controversial Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, it's all too clear our "by the people, for the people" democracy is in jeopardy. (2006/ 84 minutes/ Democracy)        

How Democrats and Progressives Can Win: Solutions from George Lakoff - According to U.C. Berkeley Professor of Linguistics, George Lakoff, the left needs to think more critically both about what their core messages are and how best to deliver them.  In this clear how-to-guide, Lakoff outlines how Democrats and Progressives need to look at the world and frame their messages in order to be heard in the ear of sound-bytes and catch phrases.  (2004/ 25 minutes)
