The California DISCLOSE Act (S.B. 52)
Laurel McClure
April 20, 2014
Laurel McClure (a California Clean Money Campaign volunteer) will discuss the California DISCLOSE Act (S.B. 52), which would require that political ads for local and state candidates, and state propositions, would have to very clearly identify the people, corporations, unions, and/or other organizations that actually contributed the most money for the political ad. S.B. 52 needs to be approved by a 2/3rds majority in the State Assembly this summer (and then be signed by Gov. Brown). So come hear about this very important bill, and how you can help out.

In September 2011, the Occupy Wall Street encampment captured the public’s attention. Within months however, it faded from the mainstream media, and many think the movement has died. In this presentation, we will discover some of the ways the Occupy movement continues to bring change to our communities, including Strike Debt and Occupy Sandy . In this presentation, Derek Tennant will facilitate an “Occupy Experience”, based in part on his work as the Facilitator for several General Assemblies held by Occupy San Jose in 2011 and 2012.
This is a follow-up discussion of Free Will, which was the topic of Daniel B. Miller’s Dec. 8, 2013 Forum. Michael Abramson, a physicist specializing in numerical simulations, will offer his insights about connections between our Free Will and certain properties of a physical world. The arguments that he will be presenting may have profound implications for our approach to fundamental political and moral issues.
