Hi all!
This is your friendly reminder that Drinking Liberally Olympia's next get together is Monday, Feb. 5th, 7 pm, at the Tumwater Valley Bar and Grill.
In addition to our normal roundtable of current events, this week our discussion will revolve around how us left-leaners can more effectively frame messages that will have more acceptance from those that in the past have not associated themselves with left-leaning principles.
DL Olympia member Liz provided the following information if you want to read up on the subject prior to Monday night--though don't feel like you have to!! :)

One of the topics on the agenda for DL's first meeting in February is how liberals can more effectively frame our perspectives. George Lakoff, who is a professor of linguistics at UC Berkeley, has written extensively on this topic. Below are links to his website. You'll find some of his articles on the first web link. Click on the second and you can download his book, Thinking Points, Communicating Our American Values and Vision.

Hope you can join us Monday night for what I am sure will prove to be a very fun and informative Drinking Liberally get-together!

In addition to what Liz suggested, I'd also like to invite Drinking Liberally Olympia folks to participate in Rockridge Nation, a new place for progressive dialogue on framing and values.
Incidentally, I'm a former Washingtonian, now working with George Lakoff at the Rockridge Institute in Berkeley and blogging at Rockridge Nation. Hope you find Thinking Points to be useful and join the discussion at Rockridge Nation.
Enjoy your meeting tomorrow!
