This is a mid-term election year! The Presidential seat is not yet up for grabs but control of the most unproductive and unpopular congress is! We will watch our local and state elections for representatives and ballot measures closely (there are some good ones!) Once the election is over we will focus on a solid understanding of the design and functions of our branches of government and learn how we can become more aware and active citizens.
