    logo_leagueofwomenvotersSedona AZ (November 30, 2015) – The League of Women Voters Greater Verde Valley is launching a political book club as part of the membership offerings. League members are probably among the most active “political junkies” in the area and getting together to discuss issues and politics is part of League DNA. With 2016 such an exciting election year, books can add another dimension and focus to political conversations.

    20151130_selfievoteThe first discussion will be about a 2015 book called “The Selfie Vote: Where Millennials are Leading America” by Kristen Soltis Anderson. Anderson been interviewed on a number of shows and there is much to be learned from her book about the future of politics and the impact of millennials  for members of all political parties.  While Kristen herself is a Republican and the LWV is non partisan as it relates to candidates,  the League does take a stand on issues. “Messaging” to the right audience is as important to the League as it is to the political parties. Understanding the millennial generation of voters is key to League activities in voter registration and education no matter what party members may affiliate with.
     
    The public is invited to join the League and participate in the first book club discussion on Saturday January 16, 1-3PM at a residence in West Sedona. For information about joining the League and participating in the Political Book Club,  contact Barbara Litrell, President of the local League chapter, blitrell@aol.com or 649-0135.

    We Have Been Thoroughly Trained!
    By Amaya Gayle Gregory

    Throughout the years, we have been trained. Part of the training is to see others as trained, but not ourselves. Even though we are the others that others are trained to see as trained, we tend to miss that little nuance. The training says we must know what’s right and speak out when we see something that runs contrary to our understanding of rightness. We don’t stop to realize that what we see as right isn’t exactly right or it would be the right version that everyone in their right mind knew as right. There are billions of versions of right but ours is the only real right one. Seems fishy, doesn’t it? We spend our days, our lives, catching others — the wrong ones — doing and saying things in support of their versions of right and our training has us jumping on the critical bandwagon lest we be painted in support of the wrong right. What in this crazy world moves us with such amazing force to crave rightness, to need to be seen as right? Read more→
