Midterm Wins for 100+ Women in the House
While many were expecting more democratic Senate and Gubernatorial wins in yesterday’s midterm elections that did materialize, Sean King expands on some very important victories.
I agree that a woman’s place is in the “House” and Senate! Congratulate to all the women who stepped up to the plate to run for House seats. It is quite a sacrifice. I pray they are successful in representing the needs of their voters over the needs of special interest.
Dark Money, The Movie
Tonight’s screening of the movie, Dark Money, was extremely informative as it made connections of money from big corporations to political campaigns.
“Through this gripping story, DARK MONEY uncovers the shocking and vital truth of how American elections are bought and sold. This Sundance award-winning documentary is directed/produced by Kimberly Reed (PRODIGAL SONS) and produced by Katy Chevigny (E-TEAM).”
And the discussion and audience Q&A d deeper into key points and what to do to change campaign finance laws.
Before the movie, Montana Governor Steve Bullock, gave us an overview and told how he got involved in bi-partisan campaign finance reform. Following the screening, GPB’s Rickey Bevington lead andiscuasion with Director/Producer Kimberly Reed.
Seen at Sundance Film Festival, this movie also explains how campaign finance of elections effects our every day life. Being shown across the country, you can see it on GPB on Monday, October 15 at 10pm EST. You can get information on how to host a Dark Money Movie Party
DARK MONEY is available to stream free online through Oct. 31.
