- Event: White House Counsel to President Nixon and assistant with the Watergate cover-up, John W. Dean is now disillusioned with the Republican Party. He asserts that Bush is the first president to admit an impeachable offense by authorizing warrantless NSA wire-tapping. Dean chronicles Bush and Cheney’s lies to Congress and offers smoking-gun evidence for their impeachment in Worse than Watergate, and his latest book, Conservatives Without Conscience, explores how modern right-wing thought is melding with authoritarianism. Tickets $5. Wednesday, July 26, 2006, 7:30 p.m., Town Hall, 1119 Eighth Ave.

Put Housing on the Governor’s Agenda
- Issue: Governor Gregoire recently laid out her top three legislative priorities: early learning, health care, and jobs. All are important, but as housing in Washington State becomes more and more unaffordable, it’s disappointing that creating affordable housing didn’t make the cut. Without an increased investment in housing, kids won’t learn, our state’s residents won’t become healthier, and jobs won’t stay in Washington.
