Come talk politics with us! We'll take suggestions on topics, and decide on which to discuss, at the beginning of the meeting.
Below (in the comments) are some questions I've thought of. What questions would you like to consider with us?
PARKING NOTE: On Sundays, there are some free spaces on the street in the vicinity (though you might have to hunt for them). There is also a parking garage at the library; info here: http://library.austintexas.gov/central/parking
CIVILITY NOTE: As always, we are firmly committed to civility at all times -- no personal attacks.
Hope you can make it!
