The monthly meetings, which usually take place on the second Wednesday of the month, vary in their focus. Some meetings are concerned with issues specific to Culver City. Other meetings take up issues of statewide, national or even international interest.

Wednesday, December 9, 7 PM Veterans Building -- Rotunda Room 4117 Overland Avenue Monday 10 August 2009 August - John Dean will Speak Club News Greg Valtierra Monday 10 August 2009 - 20:05:41 JOHN DEAN to speakWednesday, August 12, 2009 7:30 PM Rotunda Room, Veterans Building, 4117 Overland Avenue(off Culver), ADMISSION IS FREE ! John Dean, key government witness of the Watergate prosecution, is a best-selling author and frequent guest commentator on cable and network news, and has great fondness for speaking to Democratic Clubs. He’s speaking at no charge to us, but would like to sell his book! John will be addressing two issues: Torture and the Abuses of Governmental Power. He has closely followed the torture debates happening in Congress and throughout the country. His keen legal insights cut through the emotional argument and attack the core of the national debate – the constitutionality and legitimacy of the use of torture by the U.S. John’s analysis includes: o The perceived vs. actual benefits of torture o the legality of the infamous torture memos o torture as war crime o the types of torture o use of domestic vs. international law in prosecuting those sanctioning torture activities o the consequences of failing to hold an administration responsible for authorizing torture John will also speak about the startling new revelations found in the re-release of his best-seller, Blind Ambition: The End of the Story. As Nixon apologists continue to rewrite the history of the Watergate break-in, Dean exposes new details that validate and clarify the truth of his original work. Blind Ambition continues to hold relevance, especially in the wake of the Bush Administration, in its documentation of the abuses of governmental power.
