AU-OC General Meeting 

Flicks for Thought:  "Jesus Politics"

Irvine Ranch Water District (Multipurpose Room)

15600 Sand Canyon Ave. (at Waterworks)
Irvine, CA
92618
(IRWD neither supports nor endorses the cause nor the activities of organizations which use the district's meeting rooms that are made available as a public service)

The 2008 election was not a religious contest, but for some, it might as well have been.  This film was produced by an Israeli immigrant to America who came here to escape religious politics, only to find a growing undercurrent of religious influence on our elections.  He documents the political support from religious organizations for candidates on both sides in the 2008 elections and what impact they had outside their local flocks.

Admission is free and refreshments will be served.

Note:  This event will begin 30 minutes later than usual so those attending the Suffrage Day Lunch with Women For OC will be able to attend.
