How there has been a Conscious Surrender of
Hard Won Ground of Progressive Legislation
Meeting # 3,750 - college regular Jonathan Barton
Speaker states that “I will present a working class perspective of how there has been a conscious surrender of hard won ground of progressive legislation (e.g., There's no such thing as society…or no government can do anything.) and exactly how that philosophical / legislative shift normalized what, at the beginning of the 21st century, became a familiar statement for profit addicts and privatization bullies to dismissively respond to the needs of WE THE PEOPLE.
Don't let the perfect become the enemy of the good, policies that only 4 decades earlier were so highly respected by both major parties and beloved by we the constituents, that they were considered to be untouchable for any kind of local / state / federal budget cuts or reduction as our collective legislative priorities. What we the people do about it is more important than anything else that can be addressed by our collective action.”

Dr. Grouse states that he "is committed to building cohesive societies and offering pluralistic solutions to issues of the day. He will discuss how our singular goal should be security for Jews and justice for the Palestinians, and we should not waiver from it, that every Jew must feel secure everywhere in Israel and move about without apprehension or fear. Mike advises that it is achievable if we take the proper steps, including giving justice and hope to the Palestinians. Security for Jews and Justice for the Palestinians are dependent on each other. He concludes that we should not let these events divide us, as we have worked hard for the relationships we have built among Jews and Muslims to set an example."
