Ever wonder how political parties got the ideas that drive such passionate debate today?
Want a better understanding of the issues that fuel the upcoming election?
Plan to attend a two-part Rappahannock Voter Forum being offered Oct. 19 and 25.
Each event will take place from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Rappahannock High School. Students are encouraged to attend.
The forum is organized by a bi-partisan group of local residents as a service to the community and supported by Griffin Tavern.
On Oct. 19, George Mason University professor Colleen Shogan will discuss the history of political parties.
An authority on politics and government, Shogan is expected to explore early presidents, what side of the political aisle they stood on, what beliefs a Democrat or Republican might have held then and how that compares to today.
After her presentation, the forum will open up to questions from the audience.
The Oct. 25 event will feature political analyst Bob Beckel, who will explore the Democrat’s side of the election’s hot issues, along with former U.S. Deputy Attorney General, George J. Terwilliger III, who will offer the Republican view
