The Orcas Island sub-group of the League of Women Voters (LWV) plans another showing of the documentary “Patriocracy” as part of its Membership Drive, on Monday, July 2 at 6:30 pm at the Orcas Public Library.
“Patriocracy” discusses the influence of money in political campaigns, and the trend to treat news reporting as entertainment. The documentary is being provided by the League of Women Voters of the San Juans.
The LWV is a 92-year old non-partisan, political, grassroots, research organization. It sponsors candidate/issue forums, civics curricula and voter registration drives. The annual cost to join is $50. The LWV is now open to men and women, and cost per household is $75. Checks may be sent to: League of Women Voters of the San Juans, PO Box 784, Friday Harbor, WA 98250.
It would be really nice if the League would also have a showing of this film on other islands. Being from Lopez, I would love, of course, for Lopez to be next.
Thank you, League, for taking on the today often thankless task of trying to retain some shred of democracy.
