Statement on Free Speech
Our constitution and laws encourage the freest possible exchange of opinions, ideas, and information. In part, that recognizes our worth and dignity as human beings. To forbid us to speak our minds demeans us and makes us more like slaves or robots than citizens of a free country. But as important as freedom of expression is for us as individuals, it is perhaps more important to society at large.

Thursday March 5th Meeting #724
Open Forum – Trump’s Iran War and the 2026 Midterm Elections: What influence does one have on the other?
It has been quite a week (not even over yet). We thought it appropriate to discuss what are fast becoming two of the most pressing issues that our country faces at this time. As a guide, we offer up some topic questions to start a robust discussion, but please feel free to add pertinent topic questions and/or observations to the discussion as we go forward. Starter topic questions are:
1) Should Republican politicians be concerned that Trump’s war tactics with Iran will cost them major losses in the 2026 midterm elections?
2) Will Republican political concerns force Trump to back off his aggression against Iran?
3) Will the Republican Congress finally reign in his abuse of power?
4) What do you think Trump’s current actions with Iran will have on the continued participation of member countries in Trump’s Board of Peace?
NOTE: Lorraine Keed and Tom Berry will lead/moderate the discussion and look forward to your feedback and views. If possible, please take a moment to jot down your thoughts in advance in order for all participants to have the opportunity to adequately and succinctly express themselves in this open forum.
