Who Killed America Democracy: An Inside Peek At Our Political Process

I am pleased to announce a presentation entitled, “Who Killed American Democracy? An Inside Peak At Our Political Process.”

By the end of this lively, interactive session, students will be able to: (the number points should be next to the first word in the sentence - this spacing is off)
1) Identify the rights of citizens in a democratic society;
2) Make government accountable to the people, rather than to special interests;
3) Understand how the media actually reports politics and what can be done to improve it.

Topics include:
*The difference between fair elections and America’s current political process
*Why is political competition an illusion?
*The media’s role in a democracy
*Discerning fact vs. opinion in media coverage
*The role of independent voters in a two-party system
*Why should all eligible citizens vote?

This talk includes the screening of short media clips from the political documentaries of Jo Streit and is available as a:
• 30-minute presentation
• 1-hour keynote speech
• Part of a panel discussion

“Who Killed American Democracy? An Inside Peak At Our Political Process” is the culmination of fourteen years of work documenting grassroots activism. I produced and directed the film Flirting with Power an exclusive behind the scenes look at Ross Perot’s independent campaigns in 1992 and 1996. This led to an invitation to give the keynote speeches at both factions of the Reform Party 2000 National Convention that was broadcast live on C-SPAN.

I welcome the opportunity to be of service!

Warm Regards,

Jo Streit
